Moments

Fragile like a candle in the wind

I have forgotten this place
How has it really been?
Now it feels just like an empty space

Snow arriving a little too soon
What am I to do with blankets of white?
You tell me I am ready for that moon
Yet, how am I supposed to take flight?

Into my soul, this night is seeping
Demons arriving from the shadows
Angelic faces wet from weeping
I feel so afraid about my tomorrows

Are moments like these ever so fleeting?
I long to hear my heart smile and sing
Are moments like these never lasting
I thought love would give me your wings
So pray tell me:
What am I without this?
Who am I without this ?

Dreams dreamed and then shattered
What's real, what's illusion?
Wings reborn, yet still scattered
Like pieces of my unsolved vision

Dawn still far away from me
The blackest of black on my feet
I have these eyes to feel and see
Yet it's only pictures of forgotten misdeeds

From my soul, this night is becoming
Pushing dawn away from the sun
Mimicking the fallacy of eternal waiting
Where fear shadows the presence of the one

Do moments like these come with the breeze?
I long to feel the candy in my heart
Do moments like these go with my kiss?
I thought it's death do us part
So pray tell me:
What am I without this?
Who am I without this?

As If...

Last night a shadow
came knocking on my door
and offered me an eternal deal
For the price of my soul
she said she would protect me
from all the things I hated to feel

It seemed almost impossible to refuse
when fear was the only thing
that had me completely defuse
Of course I'd need a safety buffer
to shield me from
all my inner blues and bruise?

But then a shining light came on
and gently asked
"What if you already safe in every way?"
For that moment it was as if...
I am perfect in all sense
as if...
It's all part of Heaven's plans
And somehow it made perfect sense

Last night a dreamlover
came climbing into my window
and proposed a lifetime of love
For the price of my heart
he said he would give me
all that I wanted from above

It seemed almost too good to reject
when lack of love was the only thing
that kept me feeling like a defect
Of course I'd need someone to provide
an eternal supply of love
for me to save and collect?

But then a shining light came on
and gently asked
"What if Love is already within you?"
For that heartbeat it as was if...
I have the Love I had been seeking
as if...
It's all part of my making
And somehow I began waking

Again the shining light came on
and gently suggested
"What if you can be all you ever wanted to be?
With the pricelessness of saying 'Yes'
You would be the Light you seek
You would be the Love you seek
with every single As If's becoming As Is's?"

Yes, and somehow that became my Truth

A Song Is Born

Listen close, listen well
Catch the sounds of this
newborn song
Sing it once, sing it twice
And then let it play
for eternity

First there was the word
And then appears the melody of life
Flowing like a river without an end
Weaving into infinite space and time

I am glad to be part of the chorus
of songs sung from above
I am honored to be part of the tune
an interlude of bliss in between
whistled from within
from some place unseen

Never mind that I may never see
the seven wonders of life's epiphanies
Never mind that I may never taste the
the full flavors of heavensent infinity
When I can hear the sounds of love
All's perfect
A sacred song is born
and that is all I am here for

Silence is enough, a perfect place for truth
Because bliss needs no notes
When a heart song is played from the soul
everything else happens in its perfect flow

I play my part in the orchestra
of the pieces composed from above
I take on the highest note of heaven
and make it a masterpiece on earth
never mind what it's worth
for it's only light that I serve

It's OK that i won't dance all night
on the golden moon
It's OK if I never see the bright halos
of angels and saints
When I can hear the sounds of life
All's perfect
A sacred song is born
and that is all I am here for

First there was the word
And now here's our song...
