Techno

 

I am wondering with all of this techno

When is the last time you simply let go

And actually looked someone in the eye

Actually looked into their soul, not to pry

But to see reality and beauty and meaning?

I am wondering while you are on facebook

Do you ever see the pain in someone’s look

Or happiness for that matter

Or does your heart just pitter and patter

The way that it always does…frozen?

It’s not that I don’t like eBay or Twitter

It’s just that I wish we could all consider

That while our life is on hyper drive

We don’t know the meaning of being alive

And that really concerns me so…

Techno….

Sunday Mornings

Ambiguity seems to be the order of the day
Especially from ones who claim to pray
To a Being they have never seen or known

Dishonesty seems to play a part
Particularly in the religious art
Where those who have never seen or heard
Are telling me I am a raucous bird
Because I speak with Him every moment

Distraction seems to be the key
To attempt to allure and bury me
Into a place where there is no reality
There are only rules and regulations

I must have love and I must have real
Forget all about this curb appeal
That doesn’t get the orphan fed
And doesn’t give the hungry bread
It just sits and consumes the sunlight

I sit and I sit here quietly
And God just sits right next to me
And that right there is the meaning of life
And that right there is the ending of strife
So I’m just going to sleep in on Sunday morning
And meet with my family in another way.
My goodness, it is such a beautiful day!

I sit with Wonder, I sit with Love
I rest in the Goodness, I am placed above
I walk through darkness as I am bathed in light
I watch True Love simply blow away fright
And know this is just where I am meant to be

Totally free….

Life

Life

It is quite simple

Water plus sunshine gives rainbow

And right there is the meaning

The meaning of life itself

It is just that simple

Flower

 

Flower

There is so much more beauty in a flower

Than one can gain in half an hour

There is so much more beauty to pursue

That is a deeper but mere reflection of you

We long to live, we long to gasp

At wonder that lies beyond our grasp

Yet there it is within our reach

All we can gain is all we beseech

Into the depths of wonder we go

We rise in ebb and sink in flow

We love in hate and are weak in power

Oh, there is so much more beauty in this flower
