There are moments when my life feels the eternal summer
the mindless moments of childhood i can remember
to capture immortalize the carefree flower
the beauty of it all before it returns to ether.
freeze freeze the days of childhood innocence
when things were free and young, of timeless essence
when love is trusting and hope abiding
and life is so full of heaven's blessing
Now the days are cold and time exacting
like robots we move with no heart no feeling
the pressures of adult life we say of responsibilities
Yet life pass us by no soul no spirit no possibilities.
Where has all the magic gone, the sky the rainbow and the sun?
What have all the butterflies done, we hide from all the fun?
Where does all life go to when life is grim and cold and blue?
Where is the child in you?
....to smile and believe that dreams do come true?
There is doubt and there is darkness
there is pain and there is sadness
I am lost and all alone...
i have nothing to cling to...
there is no home.
an infinite longing overtakes me
a melancholy so great it eats me
I have no one to turn to
no hope no consolation no color no hue.
I can only rely on the powers that guide me
I can only trust in the force that makes my heart beat
As long as life pulsates inside of me
the fight goes on while i stand on my feet.
As long as the sun rises,
as long as the winds blow,
as long as the earth still blesses
as long as the grass still grow.
I am safe and loved even in my trespasses
this i feel, i live, and clearly know.
i live in dreams and the visions i see
i refuse to accept the hard cold bite of reality
i detest even the lessons of history
for my dreams are not mere fantasy
...to believe in a world of light not shadow
to hold persistently in the promise of tomorrow
...to glory in the human despite frailties, pain, and sorrow
to know that love is eternal though my own life i borrow
In the end the reality of death will not have its sting
the reality of oppression will fade as justice will spring
from our heart of hearts, all goodness will bring
all the love and the happiness because we believe our dream!
Beauty is like a need satisfied and a desire magnified
Yet beauty is not defined only by its longing.
Beauty is the heart’s thirsting and the mind’s enchanting,
Yet beauty has no end and no beginning.
Beauty is the sight that you see and the song of the sea
Yet it haunts beyond what you are seeing and hearing.
Because beauty is seen with closed eyes and heard in deep silence
Beauty is really beyond our hardest reckoning.
Beauty is the wide orchard outside and the flowers that glide
But beauty is also the garden inside as the butterflies in petals ride
It is that smallest fragment of nature’s love and sweet scent
Where we experience eternity in but a very small moment.
Beauty is present in the day but also mysteriously collected at night
It is that spark of forever that makes the darkest night bright.
It feels like hope that can never grow dim
It is our strength and our vision when everything is unseen.
There are many presents inside of me
Little surprises not all can see
In faith there are curious secrets i choose to keep
Inside my heart they always beat!
They are always there even through the agony and pain,
Urging me onwards through the storm and rain,
They light up from inside through the darkest night,
They are my hope when there's no end in sight.
When the world thinks so sorry of me
When no one believes the dreams i see
I turn to my heart for strength and consolacion
That a new world will be born despite all the damnation
Like a seed sprouting from the rocks
Like a baby breaking forth from the womb's darkness
Like the precision of sunrise against the blackness always knocks
Our destiny will come forth through all the madness
There are many presents inside of me
Little surprises not all can see
The desert will all be filled with flowers
The dream of the stars, when love is all that matters
