Choose a timid smile
Releasing hidden hopes
Sharing a heart’s slim beat
Grasp at love’s retreat
Dive into an instant
Where free-falling sorrows mete
The boundaries of today
Melding in the fray
Why not risk it all…
For the chance at even more?
Brave the song’s bright call
The words on tomorrow’s door
Lost in metered colors
Surrendered to the fall
Be the you that beckons
Hear the song’s bright call
Love arising
New and strong
Walking, skipping
Merrily along
Touch my soul
Take my mind
Offering you
Love divine
Poet sings
Brave new song
Take my hand
Sure and strong
Touch my heart
Bold and free
Offering you
All of me
Wonderment of fragrant delight,
Blooming in the morning dew,
Indeed a dim prelude,
To a hint of beauty most true.
Waiting with effort in the garden,
Confidently smiling, I sip my tea.
Feigning calm and peace,
I wait anxiously for thee.
I stand as love approaches;
Pray for a smidgen of resolve;
Overwhelming art thine beauty;
This time, I dare not dissolve.
Accepting your hand, pale and fair,
Gently raise it to a waiting smile,
With boldness, brave a wish,
Ne’er return to solitude erstwhile.
Love’s essence burgeoning,
Touching two lives this day,
Leaving for just an instant,
I raise mine eyes and pray.
Puppet on the stage of life
Pulling the strings so strong and sure
Remember the dream, forget the song
Hold on tight, it won’t be long
Inner space and outer projection
Drama made for interaction
Teach the lessons, learn them well
Comforted in the story’s telling
Write the chapter, live it with verve
Watch the film, you made it first
Find the rulebook, throw it out
Into the cavern, bravely shout
Create the dream and close your eyes
Open you eyes and dive in now
Making the life you choose to live
Receive the joy you choose to give
Walking along the path of life
I paused for a moment’s rest
Breathed in a large portion of the morning’s air
And thanked the flowers for being there
The song from the trees was rich and sweet
The birds were singing it just for me
And the sun shone bright this brand new day
As I took a moment to pause and pray
In silent words I spoke to you
Searched my heart for all I sought
Offered you my mind and soul
Take me Father, in part and whole
Blessed morning, you and me
Walking on in glory and peace
Fill me Lord with grace and love
Serenaded by creatures above
Walking on, I brave a smile
Life with you is grand and kind
New days spring in childlike joy
Make this man a carefree boy
Walking along the path of life
Each day loving, feeling, giving
Learning lessons, being alive
Holy serenity, here, now, dive
