Inspiration: Our Daily Bread of Life

Inspiration is all around me.  It swirles in the midst of darkness and deceit.  
Blinded by dry tears...the deliverers of this blessed word find me when I know not what to look for or where...
I and my kind walk in circles looking for and end to pain, deceit, betrayal, unlove, uncareing.  We are looking...but not invane.  

When the circles we walk in seem endless take heart and know that it is not a downward spiral...  Keep looking and you will see...

Words Written On the Wind

WORDS ONCE SPOKEN - ONCE SUNG
ARE WRITTEN ON THE WIND

THEY FLY FROM PLACE TO PLACE
ALL OVER THE EARTH - FINE GREEN

IF I COULD PUT COLOR TO THE WIND
THEIR DISTANCE I COULD TRACE
I NEED NOT EARS

IF I COULD SOUND AMPLIFY
I NEED NOT EYES

ONLY THE BREEZE WIND OR GALE'I WOULD NEED TO TURN THE TALE
FOR ALL THREE ON MY SKIN WOULD BE TOUCHED

STAGNANT STENCH WOULD ALL THIS BE
UNLESS I COULD SMELL THE WIND IN THE TREES
OR FLOATING IN FROM THE SEVEN SEAS
AND RISING UP TO SNOW CAPPED PEAKS
I WANT TO PUT COLOR TO THE WIND AND THE SKY AND THE SEA

Ode To Be Read

ODE TO BE READ

ONCE UPON A TIME
BEFORE TIME
WRITTEN BY THE STARS
FOR HEARTS ENTWINED
BEFORE HEARTS DID BEAT
THERE WERE TWO WHO FELT THE HEAT
THAT IS THE MOMENT OF THE FIRST BEAT

BEAT SO STRONG
IT WILL NOT STOP
IT WILL NOT BE DENIED
IT IS IN THE AIR
CARRIED BY THE WIND AND CAPTURED SO FINE
HEAR THE DRUM OF THE STRETCHED SKIN
OVER THE ROUND HOLLOWED OUT CIRCULAR SOFT BONE WITH AN AGE OLD PATINA
SO FINE
SO SOFT
IN THE MIDST OF A ROUGH COURSE CHAOS OF EARTHLY DECADENT DECAY
THE ESSENCE OF AMORE BEATS ETERNAL
     (C) 2012...CATHERINE GODLEY BUCHNER

Help Oh My Lord

COME TO ME 
OH YOU ARE MY GOD
WHAT SEEMS SO IMPOSSIBLE IN A DECAYING WORLD
IS NOTHING TO YOU
YOU DEWELL ACORINGLY ABOVE THE BROKEN
MY BROKEN HEART
AND NOW - I KIN TO HEAVEN
I KNOW MY ONLY COMFORT IS YOU
YOU WHO HAVE REVEALED YOUSELF TO ME

STEADY ME
ENCOURAGE ME
LET ME NOT BE BOUND BY NAY SAYERS
LET ME NOT LISTEN TO
TWISTED LIES
DECEIT
BETRAYALS
MURDEROUS ACTS

I WILLINGLY BEAR THE CROSS OF JESUS
AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND THROUGH DOING SO
I HAVE REASONED THAT JESUS DIED SO WE NEED NOT

YOUR SPIRIT - OH LORD
IS MY ONLY LEAD
I CAN ONLY RESPOND
I MUST KEEP FAITH IN YOU ABOVE ALL ELSE
AND NOT IN THE FAMILIAL WORLD
BUT ONLY YOU AND THE ANGELS YOU HAVE SENT
TO PROTECT ME 
AND TO DECERN FOR ME GOOD FROM EVIL

AFTER COMING THROUGH A DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL 
TO THE INDIGO SKY WITH A CLEAR HEART
I AWAIT THE NEW DAWN
THEN THE RISING SUN IN WHICH BRINGS YOUR WARMTH
AND STRENGTH FOR A NEW BATTLE
I CAN BELIEVE YOU - YOUR SON - YOUR SPIRIT

WATCH OVER ME 
NOW AS IN THE BEGINNING 
IS NOW
AND FOREVER
AND FOR ALWAYS

ALL HONOR AND GLORY BELONGS TO YOU
I WANT TO BE ON THE EDGE OF GLORY
AS THE EDGE OF A COIN IN THE THREE DEMENTIAL WORLD
HOLY TRINITY COME

Momentary Peace

BATHING IN THE SUN
BASKING IN THE BREASES
GONE ARE THE TORMENTS AND THE TEASES
SO FREE SO DUMB
"THE  PEACE THAT PASSES ALL HEMAN UNDERSTANDING"
I STAND UNDER PEACE

Past Present Future

To see the future one must first listen to the past
One cannot fear the past
One must face it
One cannot fear the future
One must courageously face it'
One cannot fear the present
One must not mask it

NO PAIN JUST GAIN
A SONG,,,,RIGHT NOW
NOTHING'S WRONG,,,,RIGHT NOW

About Freedom

IRONIC IS THIS TALE 
ABOUT FREEDOM

ANALIZE THE TERM "FREEDOM"
AND ONE CAN CONCLUDE
THAT FREEDOM IS BORN OUT OF PAIN
AS ONE COMES PAINFULLY FROM THE CONFINES OF THE WOMB

WARS ARE FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM
WARS ARE PAINFUL WHILE WARS ARE WAGED

ALL FREEDOM IS BORN FROM PAIN
I THEREFORE ACCEPT THE PAIN AND THE FREEDOM

Senses

SOME SAY THERE ARE ONLY FIVE SENSES
SOME SAY THERE ARE SIX SENSES
SOME SAY SOME HAVE FIVE 
       SOME HAVE SIX

I PONSER THIS AND I ADDED
WORDS MAKE THE SEVENTH SENSE

AS IN THE BEGINING THERE WAS THE WORD
AND THE WORD CREATED THE EARTH
IN SIX DAYS AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH

Digging For Truth

DIGGING FOR TRUTH
IS A HARD THING TO DO
YET ONCE IT'S DONE
WALK IN THE SUN

DOING THE HARD THING
OFT TIMES IS AVOIDED
DEFINATELY POSTPONED

MANY OBSTICALES MAY PUT ONE BACK
BACK IN THE DARK
OF TEARFUL
FEARFUL NIGHTS

NIGHTS FULL OF DRY TEARS
THE DAYS CANNOT FILL THE YEARS
ONE THINKS DEATH MUST COME
SO FIND THE TRUTH FOR A BATTLE WON

PAINFUL YES
YET ONLY IN THE LOSING
HEARTS DON'T REALLY BREAK
HEARTS TAKE A LOT OF BRUSING
   (C)...CATHERINE BUCHNER 2012
