A stark glance at starbirth
The haunting now replaced
In explosions of her music
Through the once forgotten place
The vivid red velvet
Of a redawning star
Once a time to remember
Forgotten still thus far
Born into wealth
Colliding within
Awakened refrains
Asleep in the din
Beginnings of nothing
New strawberry haze
Lost in her revolt
And lost in heaven’s gaze
…and he spoke with the authority of the elders from his perch on the branch of the ancient oak…
Exposing good and bad
Revealing all you are
Old and knowing love
From the furthest starAsk and you are offered
Love that feeds the land
Ready hearts receive it
So open up your handGive respect and honor
Truth and faith and trust
Tongue speaks only kindness
Hold it if you mustWalk the sacred walk
Spread your wings and fly
Soar among the eagles
Let love lift you highGive the love you seek
Be patient ever more
No more need for knocking
So, open now the door
And with that he took to the brightening sky…
from the depths of my soul
i sing this to you
your love makes me whole
forever and true
my beautiful wife
i offer my heart
a wonderful life
each new day we start
your love is extreme
thank God for this day
our connection supreme
walking the way
a glorious song
i sing from my heart
growing and strong
let it never depart
Looking up
He saw the man staring down at him
The resemblance was uncanny
His mood changed at once
From confusion to fright
From dimness to darkest night
Lost in the moment
Frozen in this sight
He stilled his breath
He gulped for life
An instant’s choice
The fate of life
Looking down
He saw the man staring up at him
He laughed in that particularly evil way
The reaper had taught him so long ago
The paralyzed man was seeking
Was struggling for the comfort of a breath
Denying the impossible truth
That he was so near death
He laughed again
In spite of the view
That held him caught
In perspective new
Looking up
He begged for another chance
Why is the messenger upon me?
Is this the final dance?
The reaper bared his sickle
Time could wait no more
He readied for the final cut
Prepared for this next chore
An instant of indecision
Stopped his hand in flight
Remembering the moment
Caught in a flicker of light
He handed the blade to the other
And the other wasted no time
Sliced into the messenger
And leapt into sublime
Forever destiny held
The reaper’s son lives on
First kill was his maker
Ascension of the spawn
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
