I've never been one to stay in one place too long
I'm a vagabond traveler, singing a gypsy song
A pirate sailing the seas, with the wind at my back
A lone wolf, never vowing to belong to a pack
I've plodded my way across many foreign lands
I'm a camel in the desert, never following plans
When in need of an oasis to quench my thirst
I fill a hump or two, then eat dates until I burst
I've faced storms that tried to extinguish my flame
Live my life to its fullest and not taking the blame
Never felt ashamed of Elton's songs that I sing
I'll be off again, long before the monsoon sets in
It’s midnight here at the oasis
It's time I put myself to bed.
A single leaf, adrift on windswept air,
Descends from boughs where summer held its sway,
A vibrant hue, now tinged with autumn's care,
It dances down, to greet the fading day.
It whispers tales of sunlit, leafy green,
Of gentle showers and the robin's song,
A silent witness to the woodland scene,
Where ancient roots have held for ages long.
Now soft it rests upon the mossy ground,
A humble shroud for seasons past and gone,
Yet in its stillness, beauty can be found,
A quiet end, till spring begins anon.
So, let us watch this fragile, falling leaf,
That like human life spins for short while brief.
In stillness sedate, as we meditate
Strobes of silence meld with our soft heartbeat
Hear these hibiscus hymns that elevate
Celebrate as refrains of life repeat
As the light that lights all lights, we just are
Rainbow in full view, envied by the sky
One with the all, we woo a distant star
Cradled by Cupid’s mellifluous sigh
In-form polarities merge in our core
Thus self-aware, we’re centred everywhere
Each pore a door, through which blessings in-pour
We plunge into the void, just for a dare
Pheromones mingle, our eye is single ~
Heart’s rapture grows betwixt bliss beat’s tingle
The price demanded was the highest ever
to ransom my lost, dying soul from hell;
yet, He paid it all without a murmur,
God’s wondrous grace to me let this song tell.
A life of hope is mine because of Jesus;
He gave me joy I never could afford,
opened my blind eyes to view His splendor
and brought me peace, sweet peace, God’s perfect peace.
His life was offered up, the sweetest savor,
love’s sacrifice; sin’s awful cost was paid.
I cannot tell why my Jesus loves me;
I only know He died my soul to save.
CHORUS
For all eternity my heart must praise Him,
the King of kings, the everlasting Lord,
the only one who gives my soul salvation
and a heavenly mansion as my reward.

Lord I'm just a sinner.
Do with me what You will.
You sacrificed Your life for me
But I'm a sinner still.
My eyes cannot behold You
Yet, in my heart I know You're there.
I come to You on bended knees
To ask forgiveness with a prayer.
Chorus:
I sing Your praises loud and clear
So every son of man may hear
That the Son of God is always near
And someday soon will reappear.
My soul awaits Your healing touch
So I may receive Your grace.
Show me the path that I must take
That I might someday see Your face.
May You find me worthy
As a Christian on the mend.
I wandered years in darkness
But saw 'Your Light' in the end.
Chorus:
I sing Your praises loud and clear
So every son of man may hear
That the Son of God is always near
And someday soon will reappear.
A spider sang me a song
while I chomped on a bone
It went away, the tune stayed

“Every sunrise brings another chance to begin again, reminding you that hope repeats itself more faithfully than fear ever could.” – Unknown
Fall in love with purple possibilities
Reach for silver stars
And when you catch them squeeze
Out a wish from red heart
Keep looking up be indigo inspired
Nothing holding you back be brave
Chase the moon keep reaching higher
Be all you dream of every single day
You are unique with talents you bring
They are a part of your amethyst appeal
Be like the blue bird with song to sing
From the rooftops be heard a thrill
Excite the universe with your gifts
Be who you are called to be
When you do your heart will lift
Yourself and those others in need
Hope is a light flickering so bright
Step into yourself and win at life
I immigrated to myself
From the land of brave
Left my old life on the shelf
Gave it a long wave
If you ask me how it goes
In my new sweet home -
Life is cheap here, in flows
Like the brook in Castle Combe
You don’t need a job to fill
A precious time you’ve got
Money comes just by the will
I’m not asking for a lot
Languidly, without fuss
The days and nights go by
Sitting back, I watch the stars
Falling from the sky.
A song in the heart does not need words, love’s a mingle of lyrics unheard. A melody to last one's life through, that’s unique and meant for only two.
Quote poets own.
When two hearts mingle love comes to be
The start of a romantic journey
Caring and sharing, new life begun
A future joyfully being spun.
Not knowing which way the wind will blow
Enjoying dancing betwixt the flow
Building a nest for a family
If the Lords grace doth honour their plea.
Maybe so, maybe not, whatever
Wishing their love to last forever
To mingle contentedly always
Till reaching the end of happy days.
All know the magic of one’s first kiss
The super awesome mingle of bliss.

I walked by the light pink tulip
thinking about life and friendship
When I heard all the songs around,
The chorus of bird's pleasant sound
There's something with the start of Spring
Beginnings and prayers, church bells ring
A chance to do things in new ways,
from lessons learned, unfolding days
Life is like a book of its own
with memories of places flown
Broken trust like a winter branch
Now healing from each avalanche
Refreshing, warm, and beautiful
Songs that lift the heart and fulfill
I learned to look at the moment
Pay attention to the time I spent
Spring time songs, a gift to behold
Gratitude blooms, never gets old

Siren songs float over silver seas
stirring deep desire in hearts of mortal men,
lured like madora moths to light
they swiftly steer a tumultuous tide
to rocky roost on steep stone,
knowing now a last terrible trap
as destiny cuts the thread of life.
Green shoots sprout so fair
Light breeze fills the air
Warm sun shines so high
New blooms greet the sky
Birds sing their sweet songs
Life awakes along
If only new words
Fresh minted
In the mind of God
Would rise up now
To help describe
Music light love
Aura that surrounds
Silent in my mind
This angel light
Far away so near
Lighting my life
Never-ending
Warmest love
I’d sing a song
To make angels weep
With the joy of you
For now, beloved,
Creaking dour English
Must suffice to serve
A mission far beyond
Words and sounds
Christopher M. Swan 2011
Why do I go on singing song after song?
Because the times I have been most alive in my life
are those precious moments I spend,
well, just loving you, sweet Susan,
just loving you.
Christopher M. Swan, “Song of Susan,” 2008
You want to know what eternity is?
It’s just another moment of hope
you might come around the next corner,
or out of the next doorway I approach.
Or, better yet, it’s waking up beside you
on some distant remembered morning
life and the universe let me relive.
Eternity, in short, my love, is the assurance
you give to every rising day that somewhere
you live and breathe and greet the morning
with the promise of your smile.
You already gave me everything
I could ask of a thousand lifetimes
ago where and when all I could see
would come from the vision of your
smile your eyes your hair your face you
too divine to be sought too astonishing
to imagine too wonderful for a million
million effortful, striving words.
Christopher M. Swan, “Song of Susan,” 2008
