Bare before God
Vow to be true
Joined in your essence
Marrying you Bow to this love
Together we stand
Rings on our fingers ...

Loving Father, Flood me with your perfect love
Fill me with your abundant peace
I need you more than ever before
In faith I ask for perfect release To you, I surrender
In you, I give all
For you, I walk on ...

When we take the biggest chances
There is where we find the greatest changes
When we leap into God's hand
There is where we find the destined reward Let us fly toward the heavens
Let us sing today to Love
Let us hold hands together ...

Where will you go tomorrow?

In retrospect
He wishes he had pulled the trigger Ice cubes on the floor
Static in the ear
Anger growing
Pencil with a broken lead
Message of mystery Last night's dream ...

Released from the hell
I created by my fear
Put down the hot coal The world is made well
When love we now see and hear
All is again whole Inspired by ACIM lesson twenty-three...

Sand on the longest beach
finite grains of earth Fire from the darkest deep
reaches not the gates Coldest cold from furthest space
warmed in the thoughts of God All ideas that come from man
compare not to God's mind God transcends all space and time
beyond our thoughts profound

Child of the distant star
Arriving here and now
Fallen to this broken world
Not quite knowing how Teaching in the ancient ways
Rainbows drawn from dreams
Can you feel the new light's dawn? ...

the edge of insane
to love you is all i need
hopeless surrender

Staring intently into visible hues
Searching again for what is not there
All that is real truly flows from the heart
Open your eyes; see God in the air Power of grace, love and new light
Open your heart; feel all that there is
Dream a new thought; create a fresh start ...

here i am, lord
determined to feel better
through a new pair of eyes
and a new heart i get mad at others for the flaws i don't want to see in me
and the closer i get, the more flaws i seem to see
i am determined to not let the flaws i see in others keep me trapped in my anger ...

Twelve tall trees standing
Forest of ancient strength
Sun touches their highest leaves
Birds nest in the life giving branches Boughs sway in the breeze
Move in the mighty wind
But the ancient giants stand firm ...

Closing our eyes
We see Your bright light
Opening our mind
Released from all fright The truth, all we seek
Choose now to be free
Grace and salvation ...

Take from me, my breath, dear love
I give you all I am
Burn me to the core, sweet flame
I'm yours forevermore Sweet perfume of passion's want
Flows from deep within
Merging now, from two, we're one ...

Not sure what to write, I ask myself a question... How much more can I love you? You are... my bright autumn sunshine, bright, clear and real
my songbird's melody, pleasing and here
my heart's next beat, and next, and next yet again
my soul's constant longing and desire
my best friend, my confidant, my reassuring touch
my forever love, since forever was very young ...

Effect's cause
Your thought

I am the seeker
I am the sought I am the beat
I am the song I am forever
I am today I am found
I am gone astray I am in love
I am the lover's prey I am what you hear ...

Passing breeze
Touches the wing
Of a butterfly
The butterfly changes course
Lands on a nearby blossom
Rests for a time ...

Flight of the night bird
Under the twilight sky
Resplendent dreams awakening
Above the mountain high Among the dawning heavens
Angels now surround
Our cares and worries fade away ...

World without form
Existing in dreams
Nothing about us
Is what it seems Enemy within
Invites me to dance
Loves to take the lead ...

Brash and unashamed
Lioness prowls the plain
Feet stuck in the mud
In falling autumn rain
Yet, she walks forever on
Facing down her fear ...

Quiet smoldering anger
Inferring all that blooms
Growing in ferocity
Sacred fire consumes Dark place underground
Seed of quiet rage
Insanity fuels the ire ...

Light and bad
Good and dark
Loving and ugly
Beautiful and fearful
Kind and chaotic
Gentle and harsh ...

I am the doorway to infinity;
Knock, open, enter, come... From passion's great mystery,
From the fragrance of romance,
From the mountain's ancient wisdom...
I come to your waiting place. Open to me, sweet lover;
Let me fill your very core. ...

The blessings seen about
Overwhelm and move me
The Creator within
Kind, giving and free Force of all grace
Within the contrite
Heaven's perfection ...

A lifetime of lessons
Taught me to see
All the beliefs
Built into me None of them though
Seem to be real
Nevermind all ...

From the depths of my soul
Child cries out in pain
Fill me with your love, dear Lord
Flood me with your rain Bear my holy sorrows
Dear Savior, show me how
Though walking strong and tall ...

Touch my body
Feel my soul
Make me whole Drink me down
Feel the heat

Creator of the mountains and streams
Your glory brighter than the midday sun
Power forever is in your hand
To the universe, the mighty one Storms and winds at your command
The earth shakes at your holy word
Ruling from the sacred throne ...

so the deal is... a thought happens in the present

the thought emanates, flows, manifests
i see the effect
i think that the effect that i see is the thought
it is merely the effect i think of the effect ...

Fire from the heavens
Burn this pride from me
Teach me to be humble
Bend my back and knee Patience is a virtue
I have yet to learn
Teach me, Father God ...
