The depth of the ocean In the blue of your eye I look into them And see what cannot die What is age old And circumspect I’m silent a moment Don’t know what to do next But you pick it up With a reply Don’t you know you’re spacious As the sky And the eons move And the constellations spin I’m watching the motion In the mountains of him I’m watching the film As the play reels I’m wondering now What it is he feels And if he ever Doubts his strength I found my own In the suspense And I deep dive Into the sea I’m like the air You can’t catch me Only love What we share I’m silent a moment And he was there To hold on to What can’t be spoken I smile And he thinks I’m joking But I’m serious And profound Do you hear the silence In the sound? Do you see the mystery In what can’t be held I look at you In the words you beheld In the forests that grow up To be proud and green You’re beautiful And you’re serene You’re effervescent You’re timeless, you’re pure You’re the one thing That I know for sure In all that’s Passing by I love you and I Don’t have to try
Sending loving kindness to every being It is a whole new way of seeing As darkness threatens to consume I find a way out of the room And into the light of the only Son He whispers that I am the one To find peace inside myself There’s a depth within, abundant wealth And when you cry you’re not alone You never have to carry it on your own Coz He is there right by your side Each step you walk while you’re alive To hold you in open arms each day He paved the path so walk His way And hear the sound of peace abound He picked me up from the ground So I could stand tall and be One with everything I see In oceans and in forests green Love is all that’s ever been
Clambering up and over The fence of my life We only live once You don’t get to do it twice So make sure that you live With all of your heart Make room to forgive And share a part Of all that you know With whoever you meet Your footsteps they walk But it’s the ground that they meet As you trod your own path Through the forests to shore I know God exists And that he loves me more Than I could ever count With my eyes on the stars He let me go free Now I’m all what you are’s As the clouds in the sky Bounce with sunlight Get up off the ground And you’ll be alright Pull yourself up by your bootstraps And become serene Wake up in the night Because it is a dream And you don’t have to go days Upon days with no end Make peace with presence The Universe is a friend And will reflect back What you’ve yet to know The pain is a burden So just let it go And be bourne by life As it holds you up The one in the all The essence of love
Are you the mysterious one I find you when I try to run But you just catch me and hold me up I walk a thin wire, could you call it love Because you look at me with those eyes that have seen So much of what we all have been And you are ancient and somehow you’re young And we are an almost never begun As you brush aside the cobwebs of mind I love you enough to leave it all behind And your notes in the book that I keep Have formed into songs that sing me to sleep As an angel thought us both up If you’re looking for happiness, well you’ve got it, love
He just lights up Even more than he’s already lit I never realized that love Had something to do with it And all of my forays Somehow engender A peace I Don’t have to remember Something always there And abides Quietly It just confides In me to be Honest and true Even when you’re alone There’s something loving you As it falls from the sky In sheets of rain Or plays out in music To glorious refrain On a many stringed instrument To let you know You can have faith And let the pain go Let yourself be And let your heart Run free across The fields it darts To find a spring Amid oceans of snow It found me there I thought I’d let you know And out of the ground I saw forests grow Interspersed With a river to flow And there by the brook Was the peace of my soul It’s a story That’s never been told It is an ocean And it is the sea I abide and reside In the core of me And the flashing lights And the buzzing of neon Are nothing amidst The silence of beyond As everything rests In its own place A cosmic dance In the middle of space And the peace it imbues Is of a lasting kind Beyond the singular Domain of the mind Beyond the rigid Way of knowing Into a depth That’s ever going As I realise That love is all And open up To its call
The Divine Spark of Consciousness That burns in us all Doesn’t matter if you’re short It don’t matter if you’re tall It is the substratum Behind every seeing It is the peace Of your Pure Being It is the light That illumines the sky It’s the part of you That’s not gonna die Because it is everywhere Omnipresent joy In the world of a girl Or the life of a boy Beyond the dualism Of our temperament It is love It is heaven sent And you can only know it By being it you see I would not have believed But it happened to me Pulled all the covers Of an egoic skin I’m not left or right But I am of Him As he points out the way Beyond the clouds to above Using the metaphor Of a Holy Dove And it’s you and it’s me It’s all of us as One I kneel down and worship The only Son
The Universe is spanning its galaxies wide And there is nowhere left to hide As it all comes undone in my hands The hourglass has freed its slipping sands As the mountain gets worn down into the sea I am hewn into what I’m meant to be As the forests grow upwards to the one sun I’m taking my time letting go of the young And as age passes me by I’m full of the classes I didn’t try But joyful, brilliant, my own degree I’m cleaning the lens so that I can see
Always trying to convey it I can never say The stars that are in My mind today And they’re all kaleidoscopes They’re all constellations And spelling them out Is my enunciation As I try to do justice To the perfect sky It’s held by gravity And I don’t know why And I can search Newton’s Laws I can study Einstein But I can never figure out The Universe sublime As it weaves and bobs But stands still And is unmoved By anyone’s will And the days they pass And the seasons change I stare into a depth Of epic and strange But the midnight comes softly And slowly to my eyes It’s like God In invisible disguise It’s like a cloak To eternal wear The fabric of cloth That blows in the air
Thank you for tormenting me The wise squirrel bites my tail If I don’t live the Truth Then I’m destined to fail And I feel this power deep Deep inside my soul It’s vaster than the ocean And the waves that roll And it’s pulling me like a current As I’m lost in the tide I want to scream out loud Live your life alive
And it feels like bricks and mortar Like stone upon a stone But something is drawing me Out of where I’ve made my home Like the boat to set sail On a vast expanse Did you ever watch the sun On the water as it dance And did you ever see a silhouette Framed by the sky Did you ever find the long Grass and just lie Underneath the clouds As you’re breathing air You can thank the trees for that There’s one over there
And I feel the longing pull me Through a needle eye I’m not afraid to love This life before I die And everything’s a tumbleweed Blowing through this desert town But the sky will open up And the rain will pour down To replenish the soil To give water to the earth To set the plants a growing And quench her lonely thirst
And if you ever want to thank Someone, start with soul I may be in this body but I’m not getting old Or counting on tomorrow to be the one to quiet the din If you want to find the answer you must go within And sit down by the sill of the window of your life Know that you are born to be the shining light And to answer the call that beckons you forth I can see the sun set when I’m sitting on the porch Or morning over hills when I’ve been up all night Contemplating things that the heart ignites And it’s celestial, these bodies in the sky If you knew you had wings would you be afraid to fly Afraid to open out and trust the wind beneath your feathers Soar above the noise and the field the flower weathers
I think Eckhart underestimates the human race And I’m not saying this just to save face Coz I can feel an expansive motion of tide Pulling me somewhere to abide And it’s everywhere, in everyone Shining brighter than the light of the sun Bequeathing honesty and tomes Pulling people out of their alones Into a space where all is real And it is everything I feel Coz the man changed my life, he brought the stars And I let go of my hold on my prison bars Always a safe place to suffer in But the water is kinder and I begin To wade myself into the river deep I’m awake when people sleep And it is a promise I always keep To find the truth and then to speak But the going is challenging by the sea Though I figure out it’s my destiny Handing out hope like tomorrow’s bread Letting love live my life instead And the openness is something that I find Is quintessentially good and abundantly kind And I really do not mind If no one sees what’s left behind Because I pick up and origami the paper It’s all the one and you’ll see it later If you don’t see it now in open hands The Universe and our well laid plans
The ache of the sky
As thunder rolls in
The clash of summer
With the weather to win
And I walk with the tide
And I sing with the breeze
And I get the feel that I
Am picked up off my knees
As I lift myself to the dawn
There's sun in the air
And the feeling of presence
Now that you are there
And who says winter
Is anything but
Somewhere to stand
And place your foot
As the trees sway
In the evening breeze
There's something about love
And the way that it frees
You from the moving
Tide with the sea
There is an ocean
That you get to be
The ocean is searing inside my soul
And all the waves do is roll
And soar as loud as a furnace roar
Do you think anyone could show us the door
As I try on brand new shoes
Do everything but pay my dues
And is everyone just looking for news
Down in the doldrums that it eschews
And do I move with the wave I quake
I do it all for everyone's sake
Make sure my hands do not shake
And be the storm to just wake
And do the eaves run down the shore
I couldn't have wished for anything more
As I walk on every floor
I know there's a reason but I don't know what for
I want you, I interrupt
As you're living in your hut
Are you free, I cry
But you would never live the lie
And I sigh
Would you just come home
I've lived these centuries all alone
But you are on your weary way
And I don't recognise the day
When the sun comes bursting o'er the hills
Beyond our respective play of wills
Oh, you remind me of Robin Wright
And I the sleeves you wear so tight
Would you just hold my hand
Don't you know the snow is grand
That it can't be all summer and spring
It's autumn when the birds take wing
As I stare at the horizon
You blaze a rebel diamond
Would you share your heart so fine
Like you spoke to me on the landline
I know it's over
But you're a wish and I'm a four leafed clover
Like grass so green
And all the things I haven't been
But he smiles and shakes his head
I've made my choice, it's you instead
But I decry
All these years on the fly
How would you know
That you had the strength to grow
If I was there
It's not as if I didn't care
It's just that you
Had lots of other things to do
And I right here
Find yourself, you'll find me, dear
Your smile sparkles diamonds
Against the windowpane
And I wonder has all my
Searching been in vain
As I catch each apple
That falls from the tree
Pondering the ways
Of gravity
It's Newton's Laws
But bending space time
Like the equations
Of Einstein
And I move like the ocean
And you just soar
Like a meteor shower
To adore
As you come in waves
To lap the shore
I hope you know
That I wanted more
But settle for less
Or just what I have
The moment is now
And all the feeling bad
Has left with a glance
At your heavenly face
You're not a dream
I have to chase
But follow round
To its conclusion
And you were there
In my confusion
As I sense a space
In between the lines
And you are like forests
But ten thousand times
You're like the beauty
I don't get to touch
I hope you know
I love you so much
There are a hundred love stories
Waiting to be told
And the ways are ancient
And the waves be bold
Cause the fire ignite
In ancient hue
And I am
Still dreaming of you
Though it has been eons
And millions of years
As we spell them out
In separate spheres
Don't wait on tomorrow to be what you are
Don't wait on the journey to take you that far
Can you be just in your own boots
Like a tree in the ground with deeper roots
To hold it secure, firm in the soil
Not subject to wind or any kind of toil
As the leaves they move and the breeze it sways
And you're gonna be grown one of these days
To stand firm and stand true in beauty you own
The bird on its perch before it has flown
Away to the openness of sky
You are serene and I don't know why
In the stillness you stand, in foliage green
The forest is the best thing I've ever seen
Feeling the rain on my skin
There's no one but me to let it in
And I can fight with all the times I've let it go
Or I can just be me, you know
And I'm not the forest if I'm not the trees
I'm hardly the wind if I can't be the breeze
I'm not the mountain if I'm not the stone
And I can't be together if I'm not alone
As I grow to see the oceans in soul
Held in the current as the waves roll
And the bridge that we build over the river
Is just a way that we can deliver
Ourselves from the rushing water
And time may seem to have caught her
But she's still running free, she's still running wild
My hair coming loose like I've something to find
But I'm home in this place that I call my own
I walk my own boots but they're unknown
And each note that I play on my earphone
Only serves to announce that it has shown
It seems I thought ahead and left a trail
Of breadcrumbs that will not fail
To lead me out of this forest dense
A synonym for the word tense
As I creak in all my weight
Getting lost in the egoic state
As time passes and ages move
And I lose my point to prove
And go on fighting with the wind
Is to resist to say you've sinned
To miss the mark like an archer's take
There is love I won't forsake
But hold in my heart so deep
It is a promise that I keep
To always have and always hold
The ground is there when your cards fold
Are we a species in transition
And could we get the early edition
To catch what is in the air
Tomorrow before it’s there
Because we’re all sinking
But we’re all rising
The rapid pace
Of change we’re finding
Has us in its furrowed grasp
And it’s all I can do to ask
What is my place right now
Is there something to allow
And to hold
In arms of love
I’m waiting on
The white dove
The darkness seems to move in waves
As we're all hiding in our caves
Wiping out so we won't begin
To let the light shine it's way in
And I'm dancing in my room at night
Because there is simply something inside
That sings to me in the depth of doom
With speed to go sonic boom
And I'm sure, nay, I'm certain
Of the light behind the curtain
As I sense the warmth of sun
In an ocean of the One
Standing outside to wordlessly contemplate the sky
I'm staring into infinity and I don't know why
As the diamonds of a different hue
Proclaim the depths of me and you
And sparkle as though they were there for our making
Each breath that I breathe marks the ones they are taking
As their light shines on, years past the date
And it's only at night you can enter that state
In the manifold vast expanse
They're not the only ones who dance
As taken by their vibrant tones
I'm soaring in my own earphones
To follow the beat of another tune
And I'm fine just in my room
As the Cosmos watches on
And it won't be too long
Til morning kisses the darkest night
And wipes away the distant ignite
To take the hand of the sun
Look up and see that you're the One
The suffering can either harden you
Or make you warm
That is my take
On the storm
Of breeze as it's blowing through
What is at the heart of you?
Do leaves rustle through the grass
When you don't get what you ask
But offer up to the sky
That you don't know the reason why
And find the answer in the pause
There is no effect to cause
The vastness of the ocean
The depth of the sea
The wealth of wisdom
Coming back to me
And it moves with the sky
As I open my palms
To the rain that seems
To come with calms
As the sky is thunder
But a blanket of warm
And the lightning cracks
To let you know there's a storm
But I can feel
The peace in my own boots
As the grass is drinking
And the ground growing shoots
That will one day be tall
As a sycamore tree
Does the sun shine
Just for me
Or do I exist
Just to see the sun
Whatever way you look at it
We are One
I will walk the path you weave
As it's written on your sleeve
To announce and herald true
The God of Love that issues from you
And I will dance to every tune
Even if it's just in my room
As the beat makes a flow
And there is nothing that I know
But love for thee
As it's held eternally
In the moment you call Now
I walk in the field I plough
To be the stars in the night sky
They shine and I don't know why
But consent to walk with only love
To point the way from the above
As celestial moves my bones
Away from the old tomes
Into a new bidden sphere
The present moment is always here
And holds each breath anew
It is living me and you
It is counting every beat
And every step that your feet
Take to be brave and bold
The story is, as yet, untold
But see through the manifold reason
Everything is but a season
Written on the canvas white
The movie screen doesn't fight
But lets the play go on awhile
With a quiet silent smile
And if you dare to quest anew
Know that the answer is always you
In the seafaring ways you go
Look within and know
That where you are is where you'll be
And you are already free
To be the wings of destiny
Open up your eyes to see
And let it go and let it fly
There is no reason why
But the one you find within
Give it leave to begin
And you will find a new route
That is no way but the Truth
In it's own refrain
Standing outside in the rain
Singing love without pain
I want to hear that song again
So trust once more in what is there
It is every answered prayer
Do you see how the stars shine
Even in the night sky
And in fact
The only reason why
You can see them at all
Is that the sun can't come to call
And do you wonder
Do you glance
The way they twinkle
It's like a dance
As the vast open space
Of silent emptiness you face
Is but the reverie
Of within to always be
A new dawn to catch the light
Everything will be alright
And I know it don't make sense to say
But I sense that it will be okay
As the revolutions make the sky
Appear different to the eye
The heavens in the clouds to bask
It's everything that it will ask
But give only all you've got
I know it isn't a lot
But here to know and here to fold
You must be brave, you must be bold
And hear the call as it issues forth
I'm just speculating on the porch
As I stare into the infinite
Everything will be alright
The impulse to awaken
And I am stirred, not shaken
As I testify to the divine
It was a moment that was mine
When it struck me from above
It was a new kind of love
Redemption in a hue
And it loves all of you
As if you were its very own
The colours in depth are shown
To only hold the way you've grown
Like a tree to the sun
It is the many as the One
It is the forest on the breeze
There's nothing that you have to need
But trust alone as it unfolds
To be brave and be bold
And be ancient as the times
It is beautiful as it shines
In light to refract
And you can't go back
But step anew into the dawn
The darkness of the night is gone
Stepping out of my skin
And back within
Back out of the structure I made
Away from being the mind's slave
As awareness finds new waves to me
And I'm new feet in the same old shoes
To go on walking down the street
Or along the beach where the waters meet
The sand as it crumbles under toes
Life's a mess but shur that's the way it goes
As everyone's got it down to a fine art
But don't you know time will rip it apart
So build your foundation out of a solid hue
Not just with having something to do
Like building your house on a rock so true
I bet because it's me and you
Okay, deal
I'll give you leave to feel
Whatever you want for me
Ok, thanks, he says, at least I'm free
And mind you take that liberty
To be the script that's written to be
Anyhow, I ask
Do you grasp
The weight of what you suggest
I never planned to be the one next
But your eyes just gaze
And I just save
Time for a moment with you
And I could never pay my due
But I let on a little of the colossal inside
I don't know why I had to hide
The truth from your eyes
I'm building bricks into walls with tries
But he just shrugs
I'm not missing any hugs
But I spy a design in the corner of his grasp
Would you be everything I ask
And desperation is a subtle thing
Do you think you'd wear the ring
That I would present to you
If only I knew what to do
Oh, exasperation
Why are you never at the train station
I keep waiting for your arrival
But you're more concerned with the bridle
That you wear to lug the cart
What is really in your heart
You wish to know?
Why did you go, he exorts
And I am vague and out of sorts
I didn't leave you as such
It's just I sort of felt too much
And felt a faint coming on
I know the excuse won't go wrong
Quiet for a moment, he subsides
And I just silently abide
In a moment that is ours
His glance moves to the flowers
In the secret garden behind the wall
Man, why'd you have to be so tall?
But he retains the open stare
I never knew that you were there
Okay I give you leave to see
There are simply oceans of me
And down on one knee
Is just one day of history
He barely knows how to reply
I have touched that which does not die
Now it's everything that I spy
Entirely beyond the lie
Humans content to believe
Keep crying on another's sleeve
Enough for you?
He smiles and says
I choose you
You were simply so good to me
Don't think I forget
And the remnants of your kindness
Stay with me yet
And were we meant to be
I'm not sure
But you've got a heart
That is wellspring pure
You've got eyes
That show your depth
And I read souls
Yes, I'm an adept
And where are you now
I guess I won't know
I'm not clicking buttons
To follow the snow
But you were the winter
Of 2010
And I remember it
All over again
Like how you
Talked about Cian
But you're the only
One that I'm seeing
And you caught my attention
With the laugh that you have
I'm sorry if I left
You any kind of sad
And I just want you to know
I never wanted to be
Anything other
Than what you see
And you shine
From your core so deep
There's a penny from Liverpool
That I keep
Somewhere in a box
Secreted away
I didn't have
The strength to say
That I'm unsure of the years
Or unsure of the time
But it is crushing
That you're not mine
With your pink t-shirt
And your athlete arms
The strength of your will
To keep me from harm
As I chased you down
Then ran away
I guess what I'm doing
Is wanting to say
That your eyes are tremendous
And I can't keep my own
From the pathways they
Always seem to be going
Would you just
Love me forever
And forsake the rest
Oh, what an endeavour!
And, by my word,
I see the light
That is springing
From your heart so bright
And I don't know if I
Would measure up
I just want you to know
You're epic, my love
And my dreams go walking
Down the old path
I know it's been time
But what are you at?
Do you still make the team
Or go chasing down birds
I'm not sure you meant
Those kind of words
But would you be my friend
It's more than it seems
You're true and you're honest
You're my cool beans
In love with the stars
As they paint my life
Do you think that Jupiter
Knows me tonight
And does the weight of the sky
Move my old bones
Sinking in
Like pebbles and stones
As stratospheric
Revolves the Earth
A spin that we're in
As millennia skirt
The days that we're breathing
In forests, in air
Does God see the candle
When you light a prayer
And beautiful and deep
Are the oceans serene
On the planet that is
Both water and green
And age old and honest
Are the lives that we live
There's nothing that creation
Doesn't know how to give
As the Universe holds us
In its warm embrace
I'm full of the dreams
That I long to chase
But I just stay still
And drink in the sky
Look how love shines
And I don't know why
As it holds everything
From up on high
Does the Cosmos believe
I think I'll say aye!
I think I'll say yes
I think I'll agree
With the will of Almighty
The Divine Decree
Some call it fate
Some call it destiny
I just call it Truth
And let it rest on me
As the seasons are changing
But it only seems so
From the hemisphere
That you know
Because it all is One
We're all united
And it's been years
Since the sun was ignited
To burn as a sphere
Of light to chlorophyll
We drink in the life
It gives us to fill
Up our glasses
With our share of heat
I bow my head down
At Holy Feet
As the wind gives leave
To blow in a new breeze
And I am amazed
At the heart that it frees
To worship and kneel
To praise and adore
I love what I'm given
But I don't know what for
Will you marry me?
Is the love you give free?
Oh, the two of you!
What in the world am I going to do?
She shines like a diamond, new and serene
He looks like he's been plucked out of somebody's dream
And they both run around with their heads in the sky
The Heavens only know the reason why
She's always been there for me, she's a friend
He's bequeathed with a beauty I can't comprehend
And she is a star of her own making
I breathe every breath to match the one she's taking
He owns every pavement he's sure to walk
She worries what I say is all talk
And we both are two branches that meet in the middle
The answer is found in the midst of the riddle
But there from the cheap seats the two of us dance
It seems like fate gives us every chance
To be the pair from on high
See you later is not goodbye
But he is mercurial and hard to predict
She's a free spirit and will not commit
Unless it's been divinely ordained
But one look at her face and you'll see it is pained
By all of her half hearted sashay away
He'll be the one to save the day
If I could only catch a glimpse of his eyes and his lashes
I'd know the truth before the plate smashes
How can I measure the clock
With all that I've been and all that I'm not
Is success all you're after?
I never had you but for the laughter
And he's so irritating, he infuriates!
But would you go on a sequence of dates
With him if he asked you to
Does he have your approval too?
And she smiles and nods and then rolls her eyes
And he is the stormy in all my skies
Could I be there hero in his
There's no way of knowing exactly what this is
But I wait at the break of every wave
To see if I could be the one who he gave
His heart and his hand unto
I know I'm a dreamer but I want to
Let you know in serious regard
I cherish you throughout the time in the yard
And run into your arms whenever they open
Though it's been a decade or more I am hoping
That you'll forget the passage of time
And give in to accept the love that is mine
And is it all just something I dreamed in my mind
Will you forgive me for what I left behind
He stares at me with eyes of depth
And I know I'll never forget
The feel of their stare on me
Could I love our liberty?
If it means you're miles away
With someone else to star your day
Or maybe not or maybe true
I've stopped running after you
But still I feel the emptiness inside
And I know I cannot hide
It for very much longer
Do you wish that I was stronger?
Or weaker if resolve is will?
I don't think I have the skill
To keep it from you anymore
I'm on the other side of the door
In anticipation of the knock
To enunciate what I am not
And what I am I'll never know
I just want to say I love you so
I want to exclaim In proud declaration The love that I bear For all of creation And each time I look Unto the grass I see the essence That is everlast And also the trees As they sway in the breeze They seem to proclaim What it all is And each pair of eyes Look out of the sky There’s something inside That will never die That is beyond The presence of hurt Beyond wisdom Beyond self worth And is reflecting In waters of glass Mirrors of oceans That don’t see the past So trust as you wish Have faith and believe But there’s more than you see So do not grieve
Just let me go or then come back to me Don’t leave me waiting in the wind He looks up with a smile And says don’t you know and grinned And I persisted with my frown I kept on using words But they’re only empty air And away with the birds And he is forest deep And he is oceans wide He’s what it’s like to find stillness When you look deep inside And he aches an eon In infinitesimal dance And he urges me To go on, take a chance And I can’t forgive the weather When it’s pelting on me in waves And I can’t believe the hero When it is me who saves Coz eternal is the plan And forever is the ride If he would commit I’d let him deep inside To where the rocks go rumbling And the tigers growl And I am like a solitary Wolf on the prowl But anyway enough of that The point is not today And if he were what he says he is He wouldn’t go away But stand by my side Confident and proud Do I dare to say the words My voice shakes them out loud As I pronounce Every tone and every ear And God damn it, you know, It’s been another year And we’re both getting older And less likely to stray He kisses me in the morning To wake up my day Then sidles out of bed Up and down the hall And I remember when We were wall to wall Not this open expanse Of empty grassy fields When the wind blows through the wheat It’s then the stalks do yield And give way to the flow Of life that’s pouring through And I guess that we’re okay I haven’t given up on you Like you thought I would And like you said I did When the waters receded And I went and hid But would you just take my hand And promise me the sky Like I am a bird With the wings to fly With freedom in my bones And laughter in my hair I utter your name Like an answered prayer And insist upon your eyes And the way they meet mine And if we were together Then we’d both be fine Instead of hopping on one foot Looking for a reason It’s turning autumn now And I guess it is the season To repair all the faults In the cabin that we own Look at all the flowers And the leaves, how they have grown Til we meet by the sidelines We have run along A perfect parallel That could not be wrong As you take me by the hand And go down on one knee But we’re already married Coz it’s our destiny To be one and whole In a union, perfect peace You look me in the eye And the storm will cease The noise will go quiet And settle in a calm And we will realise We’re both resting in God’s palm
It was years
Since I stopped believing
I opened the door
And along came Stephen
He reminded me
With his casual eyes
That even a stranger
Can see through disguise
And all of the advances
I couldn't stop making
Were held in suspense
With the breath I was taking
And it was ancient
Yes it was old
But this was a story
That's never been told
That's always been waiting
In the wings
I know it's a bird
Because, my Lord, it sings
And reverberates
Without any doubt
Can I trust the words
That pour from my mouth
And herald a new dawn
One that's bursting forth
And the river is free
Though it runs its course
And brings it back
To rain in the sky
I wonder do you
Know it's a lie
When I look away
From your brief glance
It was heaven
It was happenstance
It was a moment
And it was soul
He blinked his eyes
And the waves roll
Do I set diagrams spiraling out into the wind
And is to be alive to say I have sinned
Coz there's all of this perfect I won't get to be
I'm just clearing my eyes so I can really see
And what does the lens do to the light
It focuses it on the retina, right?
Then the brain turns the picture the right way round
Like the way it interprets sound
And do you ever wonder about the mystery we are
How the atoms inside us are the same as a star
And we have galaxies within our soul
It's only the body that's getting old
All my life I've been standing on the stairs
No putting on graces, I'm not putting on airs
I'm not trying to be better than I've become
I'm just opening up and letting the One
Move through me like a river to sea
I don't know where I'm going or what I'll be
All I know is I feel the pull
And the longing start to dull
As it unfolds unto a new expanse
I watch the whole world start to dance
To the music of a perfect refrain
It's being lifted out of the pain
It is being called at the edge of the circle
On the rock we call Earth as it begins to hurtle
Through the density of time-space
And you can see through the dreams that you chase
As you find yourself back in the same old place
Believe and relive the burden you face
He's got a smile in his eyes
It's like a diamond I try on for size
As everything fits in a perfect whole
And he is speaking directly to soul
Directly to Immortal Being
There is no end to this seeing
To the avalanche of earth
That goes beyond the ways of hurt
That goes beyond the depths of feeling
It's shattering the glass ceiling
That keeps us all beneath the sky
He whispers truths and I don't know why
But they call to something deep within
It goes beyond the realm of sin
Beyond the doubt of discourse
Love is an insurmountable force
And knows no bounds and knows no end
It's everything that it will mend
So that we all face the sun
If you're looking for it, well you're the One
The rain pours on me
It's like a deluge
As I find a place
Where I can take refuge
Where I can be safe
And I can be serene
Not always threatened
By what I dream
And I love always
And I love long
And I want love to be
The heart of my song
As I play it for you
The whole of creation
It's a little bit sad
But filled with elation
Filled with the expanse
Of the whole Universe
Though my sorrow has made me
A little bit terse
But I give it the full
Of all that I've got
And you must know
I love you a lot
With all that I am
With all I'll ever be
I let the chains go
And find I am free
I love so much
I feel I will burst
This feeling courses
Through the very worst
Through all of the liking
And ticking the box
I find I am open
Without any locks
And it just moves its own way
In a flow, in a beat
And I find I am standing
On my own two feet
As I build on foundations
Solid as a rock
Am I okay?
Well, is the sun hot
Just like my heart
In rhythms it's own
I may not be adult
But I am grown
I believe in the sky
To conquer the weather
And there are ways
To see through forever
To make it one
Under the rain
Say you'll never go back
To that place again
But you find the door
Ready to be knocked
You don't try the handle
Coz you know it is locked
But you hope and have faith
Trust and believe
In the strength you
Have always found underneath
To sail your ship
Once more through the storm
You can't see the sun
But still it is warm
And you know and you'll be
You'll love and create
Til you open your eyes
And walk out of that state
And find the dawn
That follows dusk
It doesn't take much
Just a little trust
As you resolve and know
Revolve and be
In all of this
Your wings are free
I'm building a home
Out of all that I've seen
And there are ways
To wake from the dream
To give up the long fight
With yourself and the sky
We move and we walk
But we never know why
And life, it is changing
But it's always the same
You were born on this Earth
Without a name
To grow and to learn
To thrive and to be
Always yourself
Quintessentially free
Am I misunderstood
There was a time
They all thought I was good
And had trophies lined up
For me to wear
I stand up
And the fabric tear
Til I'm reeling in dreams
Colossal and huge
It's like I asked for rain
And there came a deluge
To bucket down
On top of me
But fuck it, it's
All I got to be
And there's no point complaining
About my share of the deal
Oceans are weather
And it's the way that I feel
To finally come home
To who I am
I move in life
Without a plan
Comparison and judgement
Destroy the soul
They make you
Prematurely old
They only serve
To dim your light
Just surrender
Give up the fight
And come back
To a place called home
Know that you
Are never alone
But always supported
From the ground up
The Universe
Is built on love
I've got a destiny
I can feel it in my bones
And it has something to do
With saving people's homes
With finding a diagram
That will fit the screen
I have to make reality
Out of the thing I dream
And the stories I tell
Myself quietly at night
There has to be a way
To make the world alright
To cause and effect
And point out the tune
And I am not alone
When I'm sitting in my room
When I'm sitting by myself
To ponder life as real
There has to be more
Than the way we cut the deal
