Dweller of Our HeartWithin the dark, before the day,
A golden spark will find its way;
Not borrowed light, nor fleeting flame,
But one with which the sun’s the same.
It warms the marrow, stirs the soul,
It makes the broken pieces whole;
Through weary hours, through every start,
It dwells within our beating heart.
When shadows press, it will not fade,
It stands where deepest love...

[Verse 1]
Love comes and love runs
As I go another time around the sun
[Verse 2]
Love someone, then let them go
The less you care, the more you know
As I go another time around the sun
[Bridge]
If you know love, you hold it tight
The imposter’s always chasing lights
And I go another time around the sun
[Verse 3]
I said no thanks...

spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons, spitty splashing of pitty patter sun-washed lemons,
the sun rises instead to the shade of the apple trees
Hello nuke in the sky, its an experience to say Hi,
cracking my last case of beer until ashes I'll die.......
wisdom dictates I'll be lost to the flesh as a fact,
among all the memorial moments as I pass away.

above tangerine peaks
the sun whispers soft—
clouds drift in shoals,
a dance of blue and grey hues,
a heady blush made by the sun.

BREAKING THROUGH THE HAZEBREAKING THROUGH THE HAZE

You are not the shadow
cast by your missteps,
nor the weight of regret
that clings like morning fog.
You are the sunrise
breaking through the haze,
a warm, positive light
of resiliency and grace.

Wounds of heart then heal wellTo self-discourse when we deal well,
Wounds of heart hitherto heal well.
Let whole world see no good in you,
Clouds once clear, sun does reveal well.

The Stone in the RiverThey said, “You’ll never change the stream,
Your plans are just a restless dream.”
But stones don’t fear the water’s voice -
they stand, they hold, they make the choice
to shape the flow, not drift away.
Around me, currents laughed and spun,
the gifted boats sailed in the sun.
Yet in the deep, I learned to stay,
to read the tides, to...

Dweller of Our HeartBorn among stars, for a star, too, am I
A scion of the Earth and the star-filled sky
Helios, my name, called by ancient ones
Stardust clings as I am now among suns
My essence is of sea waves at high tide
or, as they gently kiss shore, then collide
The hills share portions of the mystery
as they often...

Dweller of Our HeartContemplate the sun, that celestial jewel
who happily burns hydrogen for fuel,
and shines away the night,
so then, before our earthly eyes,
we see vast and glorious blue skies -
and plants that photosynthesis
from its warmth and light.
The greens we eat will then provide
the sun's vitality, which we have inside,
causing us to shine -
and, like the...

To the I Am
Alone and on my knees
In a valley filled with death's air
His gift: Freedom in an endless expanse
My prison's narrow walls collapsed
I walked in green meadows
Seeing the sun
