Look See And Remember

Look to the land of the east and the west
there in the north and the south
Lift up your voice loud and clear speak so they all can hear..
Make up your mind is it light or dar.
Are you life or are you destruction.
Speak your peace if you understand build if you have foundation.
Look to the sky to the setting and the rising
see the cosmic dust.
Center your self take in the breath, thy will be done, will do the rest.

Love Song #77

Can a love song bring you into my arms can my words find there way your heart.
Can my song charm you so that you say we shall never part
This is the melody I shall sing for you this till the end of time
Soft kisses of love falling onto my lips hands of kindness embrace
visions of beauty all around me memories of larther and joy.

My Captain

Captain of the water sailor of the sea through the stormy weather to the land of free.
Though many of us falter and many of us are weak we follow you for ever captain of the sea.
Crystal light shinning sea of sapphire green cosmic rings around us feeding us
you an me.
Valley of uncertainty hills of pure delight banners of peace flying with victory and right.

I will add to your brethren
I will add to your sister to
All in all I will add to you.

Silver Spoon

Today I spied a band of gold with an emerald for its crown
its feet were made of ivory its eyes were shining stars
I looked on with wonder my heart began to dance
I felt my bones come to life and I began to sing
Could it be that I lost you and found you once again
Could it be that the darkness has turned to light again
Could it be that all my dreams and all my prays have come to life again
Could it be that you and I will very soon unite
Could it be Could it really be Could it truly be tonight.

Yesterday Was Me

One day I walked on dusty roads my love was full of waiting.
I sat beneath a willow tree the wind blew all around me.
And as I set I heard the sound of voices deep in side me.
When moon beams dance and sun rays sing with all the stars united.
Then flowers in our garden grow to fill our heavenly hearts.
The songs of angles ring so true my heart belongs to you.
These words of love I heard so clear were kisses drying all my tears.
And in my mind I saw the time when hands would hold and embrace me.
And then the river in side did flow washing all my sorrow out would.
And as the clouds lift from my eyes I saw your sun baked skin.
I new that yours was the love I new the love I felt within.
When time has cast its shadow on me and your hand I hold so close.
All the stars will know the truth, Its love the most.
With my heart I will give you life, my eyes will never leave you.
When the sun goes down to sleep I will be there to light your way
you will be holding my hand for ever and a day.
