Remember

Love will light the terrible night

With love I remember you in me

In the land beyond dreams

I recall the long fall

Inside of you inside of me

I believe I believe in you in me.

We will not surrender

Peace will prevail

Heaven was not made to suffer in hell.

xxx

Love me tender, love me true, baby I’m in love with you.

Today as yesterday is a beginning to tomorrow.

Blue as water green as grass our love is real and forever it will last.

Nothing more and nothing less we are one in life and in death.

Without the waters of the sea the fire burn-eth all the trees

There’s no way to escape from the circle surrounding life’s gate

Some things are meant to last

Autumn

The leaves are flying free

Change of color change of heart

Change together or forever we remain apart

Born to the world beginning to end

A happy smile with love and innocence you send

Expecting nothing from men

Free of thoughts guiding the lost

Time passes and age comes among you

Reminded of memories and times spent free

Wisdom soon falls to thy feet

When life lies to deaths defeat

To end we begin and our message of peace will never end

So long as there is evil that war defends.

Barren Waste Land

I see a rainbow on the other side

I see a rainbow over there

Never look twice never stare

What you see intrigues me

I see a rainbow I'm alive

No more gold, I was told, little green friend killed by men

Take no more- end your war

Bombs go boom, all life doomed

Forever lost, nuclear bombs go off

Nuclear bombs all life forever lost

Children crying all life dying

Sound the alarm grab all arms

Bury your hatred right your wrongs.

I told you but I didn’t listen

I fought so hard not to be forgiven

Scarred left with myself to live another day another way

Must I insist can’t I resist forget it

The dream never ends and I see you in my heart

Lost in the truth I knew before

Gone to come again this will never end

What does it mean to call me a friend

I told you but I didn’t listen I fought so hard not to be forgiven

Illusion intrusion what we be

Beyond the disguise of true misery we are free

Forget the thoughts you think you know

What it means to become what you show.

There is no triumph at the top, just lessons along the way.

My love lives with the river of time

The flowers that bloom are you in the sky

the leaves that fall are the tears from your eyes. (credit Eva Jackson age 7)

unjust laws that strike the virgin Liberty

I am but a part voicing my heart in the dark

THOUSANDS OF MILES INTO YOUR HEART

A THOUSAND MILES IN THE DARK

WHEN YOU REALIZE THE CONNECTION OF THINGS

EVERY RELATIONSHIP BECOMES MORE ABUNDANT

AND LOVE COMES FLOWING FROM THE SOURCE OF

AN ENDLESS RIVER

CONNECTING THE SPIRITUAL AND THE NATURAL

WORLD IN HARMONY

the setting sun pressing upon the sea when the wind blows the trees know

The tear that fell into the wishing well flows out from the depths of hell

Like a dream I follow the stream to come again before I leave to tell you I believe

In front of a thousand mirrors for the world to see

Life an empty shadow in the moons light

It is a true gift to see you in this light

EAST

The fire that burns and will not be silenced

For in the nature of being

One discovers the many challenges from life into death.

Perhaps letting it be and accepting our boundaries, illusions, and perceptions

Adds up to define the clarity of our confusion.

Maybe chaos is our way and the patterns and habits we form from

The egos tendency to understand brings forth denial and separation into being.

As we are born and suffer,

A great feeling of connection is found from the many instances of experience

That reminds us of something we wholly are.

And finally we dissolve

Ascending beyond the material existence

Fulfilling our roles in the cycle of life

After all, to be nothing is space and time, good and bad, life and death

Something and nothing, more or less!

FRAGMENT AKA Black Snow

Earth holding us as we wake

Wind directing us true fate

Fire protecting us from ourselves

Water linking all life dwells.

EARTH HOLDING US AS WE WANT TO BE HELD

WIND DIRECTING US AS WE DWELL

FIRE PROTECTING US FROM OURSELVES

WATER LINKING ALL LIFE CYCLES

I'M LISTENING TO YOUR TEARS

I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEARS

I WONDER WHY I DOUBT THE SKY

I LOOK INTO THE LIGHT BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHICH WAY TO FLY

WHAT IS YOURS WHAT IS MINE

FREE SPIRIT FREE MIND

FREE I LOOK FREE I FIND

SUN OF SHADOWS MOON OF LIGHT

COME BE WITH US TONIGHT

LIKE SHADOWS OVER THE SEA

AS THE WIND BREATHS

BLACK SNOW

FALLING STAR

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE

WISHING ON A FALLING STAR

MAKE BELIEVE PERCEPTION...DECEIVE

WHAT IS IT YOU REALLY WANT FROM ME

TAKE IT NOW I GIVE IT HOW I DON'T KNOW

I JUST WANT TO GO ON AND ON

FOREVER MORE

MY HEART IS ONE FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

LOST IN NEVER LAND

WHAT IS THIS I AM

SEARCHING THE WORLD GO ROUND

HOLDING CLOSE THE TRUTH I'VE FOUND

YOU CALL ME A FOOL I BREAK YOUR RULES

FURY

When haters want to take the fall they come on strong only to learn the peak of fire is when you get burned

From where I stand in the land of between lifting some and being pressed if you know what I mean

Sometimes its better to let things go if you know what I mean

Tides of rough seas in the likeness of me

Oh what is left for the honest man in a strange land

I see you standing in line

Is that fear your or is it mine

Ive seen the fury Ive seen the fight

I still remember wrong from right

Ghetto life comes from the top where twinky eating fools make credit rule

And rent convicts the working man to serve the ruler of the land

Slavery can’t say you made me who I am

but take your claim while I retreat buying my freedom on the streets

The price is paid day by day

Until the time when there’s hell to pay

So step back and take your aim

Shots fired can you feel the pain

I know your hatred likes it black and white

But I see deeper than the darkest night

Your fear dont blind and bind me like it does the lame

Cause I’m running a different game so step back and take your aim

Shots fired can you feel the pain

Ive seen the fury Ive seen the fight

I still remember wrong from right

Where freedom is lost to demons of desire

We’re living in a world of dire

Greed got you hooked and stung so wired

I’ve seen the fury I’ve seen the fight

I still remember wrong from right

I’ve seen the fury I’ve seen the fight

I still remember wrong from right.

Good man Down

Are you going to learn to live before its time to die

You cant keep a good man down

And nobody can see me now

You will never see

You will never know

Whats its like to let everything go

Sometimes love just can not be

Sometimes love just can’t be

And the distance between you is me

Sometimes love just can’t be

You are a light in my life

Why don’t you ever stay why don’t you ever do what you say.

I’m so real, but you wont even give to me a dream to believe

Don’t close the door on what you can’t ignore

Know the power of what you are and grasp for truth less afar.

GRIND

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE WHAT YOU BUY IN THE STORE

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE I WON'T FIGHT YOUR BLOODY WAR

I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYMORE THE MEANING

OF YOUR WAR

THE SIGN SAID GRAB YOUR GUNS

THE CAPTAIN SAID KILL THE YOUNG

THE TIME HAS COME AMONG THE SHADOWS OF THE LIGHT

IN THE TRUTH LOVE WE KNOW

SPIRIT SHINE ON ALL THINE

LIKE A THORN ON THE VINE

FORSAKEN TRUTH WHATS BEHIND THE MIRROR OF LIFE

WE CALL TIME MIRROR OF LIFE CALL IT MINE

CALL IT MINE WHATS BEHIND

MATTER OF LOVE WHATS ABOVE

BENEATH THE TRUTH SHADOWS LOVE

SPIRIT SHINE WAKE THE MIND SPIRIT SHINE WAKE THE BLIND

Green as Grass

You try to control that which you don’t know forgetting the wheel of change forever rolls

This pollution a significant intrusion must go

Get ritch hit the ditch bought sold silver and gold

The earth will return the sun does burn

Recycle the truth and leave your lies exposed transposed

Its time to die

I’m alive

We will survive

Today as yesterday is a beginning to tomorrow

Blue as water green as grass

Our love is real and forever it will last

Blue as water green as grass

Our love is real and forever it will last

Nothing more and nothing less

We are one in life and death

Without the waters of the sea the fire burneth all the trees

The truth will win harmony between us all destiny we will be as fate falls

Today as yesterday is a beginning to tomorrow

Hold On

Just when I thought it was over you came and you cried on my shoulder

But it aint that easy to leave

It’s a whole easier to believe

I don’t wanna have to tell you anything

I just don’t want you to be in pain

That is comes down to this

What is the point that I miss

Did I forget that you care

Did I forget that was you standing there

Did I forget that you care

Did I forget that’s you standing there

I don’t wanna have to tell you anything

I just don’t want you to be in pain

I don’t wanna have to tell you anything

I just don’t want you to be in pain

Who knows where to start

Its gotta be somewhere from the heart

Deep inside I find you there

Wake yourself from the fear

Know that were all here

Wake yourself from the fear

Know that were all here

If were gonna fall

It wont be far

If were gonna fall it wont be hard

It wont be far

If were gonna fall it wont be hard

Will you please

You were there when nobody else cared

Will you please will you please

How Far you Are ******

How far you are from the nearest star

Don’t give up hope that you will find peace of mind

How far you are How far you are but Don’t give up hope that you will find peace of mind

For every minute you kill

You tell me what to steal

For every minute you kill

You tell me what to steal

For every minute you you want to still

You tell me who to kill

But I don’t get it

Despite the land you take you just destroy it in the end

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

How far you are but Don’t give up hope that you will find peace of mind

What is it in that you can believe

Can you not believe in me

Do I do it for me

Do I do it for you

Do I do it for me

Do I do it for you

Do I do it for me

Do I do it so that you might see

Its not worth living if were not free

Do I do it for you or me

A time will come you will see

Life’s not worth living if were not free

Darkness before the Dawn

In the silent pages of temporial ages past

It seems to me our love did not survive

The misery our hearts once explored

But the darkness revealed the light as I recall the honesty of the tragedy of the life we lived attempting to learn how to give, I remember you well

Will you wake yourself from the suffering hell

Will you free yourself from the spell and realize the oneness in your eyes

There is no need to believe the lies

I have trust in the hope you disquise.

The total sum

What Is done for peace to come

Freedom come for the people are equal to one

If only we were ready to move on

The star that shines behind the darkest night

how far must I go for you to know

for the kingdom falls for the wrong cause

and you’re here, I know the time is near

I called so many tears

and the love transformed my fear

I Can’t Imagine

I can’t imagine I shouldn’t care

The only question is will I dare

The only question is will you be there

You have had enough deep in the shadow of my luck

But don’t despair

I remember you were there

On the edge talking me down from the ledge

What you seek you will never reap

Because you my friend are of the weak

Walking to your slumber having no care for the light of wonder

Pulled no more by the bonds of your war

I cast my eyes on the shore

Where there I’ll cry no more

I can’t draw my fate from hate anymore

I’m not going to play your war.

JUST FORCE

Do you understand who I am?

Of course I’m just a force

Nothing less and nothing more

A shadow of the light

Shining in the night

Do you understand what it means to be a man?

I’m just a force of course

Nothing less and nothing more

Sentenced to live I have time to explore

We can’t afford to close the door

There is no such thing to ignore

Nothing less and nothing more

A shadow of the light

Shining in the night

Do you understand

What it means to be a man?

I’m just a force of course

Nothing less and nothing more

A shadow of the light

Shining in the night

Do you understand

What it means to be a man?

I’m just a force of course

Nothing less and nothing more.

Let It Grow

Forever Is a long time

Leave some room to change your mind

I Just want you to feel my love

lets let It grow

I just want you to feel my love

My love for you

I'm dreaming of our love

Forever Is a long long time

But your on my mind

LIFE IS PAIN

ONCE YOU WERE THERE

I WAS FAR AWAY

FLYING CLOSE UNWELCOME TO STAY

WHAT BECOMETH THE BIRTH OF DAY

SORROW SADDENS AND TIME GOES AWAY

NO ONE TO BLAME FOR LOVE IS LIFE

AND LIFE IS PAIN

Resist not the truth you reveal look not outside what you feel.

Marching

Fate of fate of fate no more

Fate of fate of fate of war

Blood shed from shore to shore

Who created such a war

And if I dare to open the door

Will I remember all I've seen now before?

You tell me what is right and what is wrong

You teach me how to assimilate, conform and maintain the norm

You tell me to fight for my country when you don't really care if I die

have forgotten how to survive? and you know nothing of the coming storm

Meditation

Each day the key of life is given to us. We have the power to make incredible creations, but with that power comes an awesome responsibility. Generations upon generations inherit the seeds we plant today.

The unity of kindness has sustained us; our love has overflowed as we have multiplied beyond reasonable limits. I am very thankful for the experiences of love I have been so fortunate to share. The stone stands witness to the moving body of the earth. With the rising and falling, erupting and releasing- with renewal and in destruction the earth is our sacred temple, the living room and the nurturer of life. Like the earth and the rest of the universe, which makes up our very selves, we and all stardust is subject to change.

With power comes a great responsibility. The point is not to criticize others; the point is to provide opportunities for advancement in a gentle and friendly manner. The sound of life echoes from the deepest thought, life is a sustained vibration, ever evolving, churning in and out with breath. Our small steps are important, especially when the steps are made in consideration of the whole. There is a time to build and a time to reinforce, there is even time to make mistakes and learn from them. The dance between the celebration and struggle in life is delicate and revealing.

The past, the present and the future are subject to our limited yet ever fluctuating understandings. With power comes a great responsibility. Generations upon generations inherit the seeds we plant today.

Moving ON AKA Shy Away

I never expected you to believe

I only wanted you to receive, my love

To accept me

I've come again before I leave

To tell you I believe in you

The tears that fell into the wishing well

Flows out from the depths of hell

Like the dream I follow the stream

And the storm has past

I will remember what you taught me

I will cherish the happiness you have brought me

Letting go to know I have so far to go

To come again before I leave

To tell you I believe in you

I see what’s true, in you

And the light shines on the future unknown

What of friendship will we become?

It's OK to fly away, we can't hold on

To nothing we belong

Let it go on

Let it go on and on.
