Echoes of Reggae

No Comments

Air and water
Heaven and hell
Sweet Reggae beats
Calming the swell

Stripping the bottles
To the essence of truth
Naked and free
As the rhythms renew

Spin to the right
Again to the left
Steel drum refrains
Ring deep in our heads

A night filled in sweetness
Echoes on through the day
Let’s do it again
We’ll dance, live, and play

Laughing Frogs

No Comments


How do we heal the heart of a friend?
How do we steal the smile of Zen?
The frogs in the starlit night hold the clue,
As they jump for joy and laugh, seeing you.

Can our mortal minds hold the key to the trance?
Can we feel jubilee and experience the dance?
These and other questions our soul longs to ask,
As the frogs in the moonlit bog gently bask

The infinite power of the ages is here
Written in the sky, just above, ever clear
We need only look and remember and steer
The lessons we learned by our hearts, my dear.

As we open the next door hidden in the dew
The fog that obscures dissipates and we view
The gates of the heavenly castle so near
We’ll proclaim to the masses, pray they give ear.

As the echoes of the laughs of three frogs fades from view
We’ll rest for a time before journeying anew.
My solace and comfort will not be allayed
As the memories of sweetness with you never fade.

Blue and White

No Comments

Blue and white
Tunnel of glee
Jubilant fright
Screaming ‘wheeeee!’

Releasing the worries
Of yesterday’s pain
Washed away
Life-giving rain

Grass is green
In the midst of the cold
Finding youth
Never grow old

Melting snow
Slushy ewww
Smile and laugh
With all we do

Wake from the dream
Hear what I say
Live in extreme
In a blue and white day

Together Forever

No Comments

Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry
Sweet tastes on our tongues
Collecting four-leaf clovers
Memories of when we were young

Dancing on a rainbow
Hanging from the nearest star
Feelings of aliveness
Mindful of all we are

Living a life of bliss and joy
Walking with you each day
Creating love with each new step
Together forever we’ll stay

Bubbles in the Sun

No Comments

Perfect innocence freed
Blowing bubbles in the sun
Precious beauty rising
On the passing Spring breeze

Angel, princess, child
Wondrous gift of God
Brightening up the world
With the light of your eyes

Princess of glorious hope
Teaching us to play
Bubbles in the sun
From the miracle of you
