The muse is quiet
The winds move the leaves
A world set aright
In the haunting, black relief
Friends, cohorts, countrymen
A fiendish lot of fools
Arguments wandering
Bequests of long lain souls
Moss grows on the stones
But only on the north-facing sides
The debaters finding solace
In the wracking surrendered noise
Truth is a homicidal maniac
Discretion, society’s lifeblood
She held her silence close
As her long-fated rest fell
From the depths of our longing souls
We cling to the sometimes dim hope
Of the gift of the Love
That heals
Peace for all the world
Beginning with a giving heart
Giving to another in openness
Stands waiting
For just one
To give to just
One other
It all starts in an instant
With the grace of surrender
Releasing fears, lack, dim illusory seekings
In just an instant
A gift
Given another
All one in holy hope
Infinite string of dominoes
Waiting for just a little nudge
A little gift
Of kindness
We (too often) wait
For the visions and feelings
Of love
To see and feel and give
Love
One gives to another
Another to yet one more
The chain reagent
One outrageous soul
Giving, without need
And peace
Dawns…
The sunrise is paled in your light
Oh sweet present lover of mine
Such a wonderful glorious sight
Oh lover, complete and divine
The moments when you touch my heart
Awakening thoughts from of old
Before time began we were one
Merged in the infinite folds
The moments when you touch my hand
Inside me, I feel all the world
The beauty of your perfect eyes
All at once is the universe unfurled
The moments when you touch my soul
Merging thoughts two hearts now we stand
This man is forever made whole
When you reach out and touch now my hand
In a moment of grace
All the world, set aright
Releasing the thoughts
That kept us in plight
Touch us, dear Father
Pull us to you
Healed and alive
Make us anew
In an instant of love
With a change of a thought
All glory restored
All that was sought
Heal us, dear Father
Fill us anew
Healed and in joy
Flood us with you
In a moment of grace
All thoughts set aright
Give us new minds
Renewed in your light
Shout with great joy!
Let the world feel the power
Sing praise with the angels
Let it start this very hour
Release from your hearts
The love that you know
Expressions of gladness
Let joyful smiles show
Be thankful for your life
Let gratitude fill your soul
Rejoice in God’s true love
His grace makes your spirit whole
