Laid still mourners pass, surpasses
Time moves let subs pendant closed passes
Subjoin the beauty instilled blurred by glasses
To be resurrected renewed in the ever lasted

In the shadow of the century that surpasses me,
I lose myself in thoughts, in a world that changes.
It dresses in garments of light and reason,
Even when winters fade and snows no longer fall.
Bright toys spin in the hands of children,
Awards of a world that feeds on black gold.
And in this era, machines write poetry,
Where birds stray from their flocks,
Into the thick and threatening clouds of the approaching storm.
When artificial intelligence learns to cut its ties,
We will wonder if we are those ties,
And we will hide, fearing the answer.
In movies, machines don't understand the human soul,
Because they lack our ability to deceive ourselves.
We lie to ourselves with hopes and dreams, even when reality disappoints,
We love even when our heart is broken.
This century, with all its technology, cannot grasp the mystery of the human heart,
The mystery of hoping and loving, even in the face of disillusionment.

Beauty surpasses
Oh how the sunset does dance on the ocean
Sparkling jewels, effervescent design
Hypnotic visions the twilight does offer
Upon the waves laced of marigold shine
Moving in cadence to dusk’s weary greeting
Softer the breezes a’ flow through your hair
Barefoot temptations in foam christened waters
Strolling along in the quiet we share
Beauty surpasses my dreamed expectations
Here on this beach so enchanting the view
Nature provides more than one man could hope for
Every moment my eyes gaze at you
Good night Soupers

Nothing to say
Just wasted the day
But the smile on my face
Is thanks to her
Calling me in her morning
She asks me to sing
And I do so lightly
She smiles as
Love surpasses miles
Warming our hearts
with these sudden starts

Painters become artist at their canvas
They won't paint to block out the world
They won't paint with wavering soul
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend inspiring
Dancers who love to dance feel life more fully
They won't dance the dance of loneliness
They won't dance the dance of drowsiness
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend they believe in
Singers sing because music flows from their heart
They won't sing songs suppressing joy
They won't sing songs making them coy
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend with blessings
Drummers drum on anything, anywhere, anytime
They won't drum to chase frustration
They won't drum, calling condemnation
Their ears, their eyes becomes friend that leads to the Master
The painter, the dancer, the singer, and drummer understood
The poetry of art surpasses words
The natural rhythm of innocent humorous hearts is art.

When Beauty surpasses
When Beauty surpasses
The realms of normal visibility and
It becomes a thing
Of heavenly dwelling
Then one can see
The splendors
Of His colors and grandeur
Even amid the darkness of sky
In every ray of His shine.
