Hope Gap...A movie I highly recommend for many reasons

 

Two Voices

Two Voices

Hateful words flying through the air

Like missiles and poisonous gas

They don't listen

Being so intent on trying to come up with

The next argument to prove how "woke" they are.

And let the people say.....I'm tired of this crap!!!

Anger's voice is too loud to talk over

We need a peacemaker like Ghandi, like Martin Luther King, like Jesus

The Bible says: Make no friendship with an angry man

Why?

Because an angry man is a walled city that can't be scaled

Bang your head on his wall, he won't hear you

He only hears the screams of his anger

Anger, non-righteous, is a demon that is only afraid of love

Righteous anger is good but even that must be laid aside

Before the sun goes down.

There comes a time

When weapons need to be laid down

And replaced by handshakes and hugs

And let the people say...I'm tired of war!

You can't rewrite history

You can only write the next chapter of the story

Let the poets and the lovers and the godly write that chapter

Take the thousand dollar pens out of the hands of the one per centers

It is they who wrote the previous chapters of hate and war

And made the innocent masses pay for their crimes.

And let the people say....Ain't that the truth!!!!

We know what's going on here,

We who have ears to hear

And eyes to see

We know who it is that loves war and hates peace

We know who it is that conquers by division

We know what drives men to madness 

And children to nightmares

We know.........................

And we know that the ancient law of "eye for an eye"

Only led to a world full of blind men

"Tooth for a tooth" led to teethless people made even more angry

By their inability to gnash their teeth

The only people who will attain peace in this world

Are those, like Chief Joseph, who say "I will fight no more again forever."

For fighting leads to fighting and killing of the body

Leads to killing of the soul.

And let the people say...... Somebody done growed a brain up in here!!!

All blood is red (unless you're a Martian)

And all men bleed the same color

Why?

Because we are of one race, one species, one family

Sly Stone said it well in "Family Affair" when he sang....

"One child grows up to be somebody that just loves to learn

And another child grows up to be somebody you'd just love to burn

Mom loves the both of them. You see it's in the blood.........

What am I saying?

 We are all one family, one blood

But depending on whose voice you listen to and follow.....

You will either be a good or evil member of that family

You will love your fellow man or burn in  the fire of your own anger

It's your choice to make

 Hate begets hate, love begets love

The Creator will still love you

 But He probably won't like you very much.

Why? 

Because you don't listen to the voice of Reason

But are swayed by the voice of Vengeance

There are only two voices in this world

One wants you to live in peace and love as you were made to love

And the other one knows...................

His time is short.

And let the people say.....Amen and Amen!

(now give me a High Five 

and a hug around the neck, Somebody!)

Family Affair By The Family Stone

Questions Inspired By Lost Love and Bobby Womack

Questions Inspired By Lost Love

And Bobby Womack

Where do we go from here

Now that our love has gone?

How do our feet dance their slow dance

Now that they're walking alone?

When do we get to smile again?

Our smiles disappeared when we frowned

How do we stay above water

Now that the passion has drowned?

Why did our love die in vain

After living so sweetly in dreams?

Why did the promise get broken so quickly

When we found nothing was what it seems?

How do you mend what is broken?

Can the broken rise up and be healed?

How does a soul resume dreaming?

When you find only nightmares are real?

I don't know, my love, where you are tonight

And all these things, my heart needs to know

I'm lost and I'm going right out of my mind

Because it's the only place I know to go.

My Second Favorite Song Raptor................

A thousand full moons pound in my heart

Wanting to be....wild with you.............

If I Had To Choose One Favorite Song.....this would probably have to be it

Make A Smile For Me 

by Bill Withers

I grew up listening to this song over and over

and still do. Put it on loop and let the words

and music carry you away. Peace

Little Drummer Boy

Little Drummer Boy

There he sits in the background, as usual

In the dark, behind the stars

 

He waits for his solo

Patiently, but not always

Sometimes, he has to play

To let go of the rage

To get all the pain gone

And beat the hell out of the demons

When he gets like that

The other members turn to look

Stand to the side

And let him have the floor

Play, little drummer boy, they chant

And the audience stops in their tracks

It's those times he lives for

Those moments he shines like the star he is

You can hear the drum beat in heaven

You can feel the roll in hell

The room races with the rhythm

And his heart comes alive with the beat of percussion

Play, little drummer boy, play, I say softly

As I watch him from my corner

And as he plays and marches to his own beat

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel my pain shatter like glass

And fall away like rain gone dry

On and on he pounds those drums

Softly now, wilder now, wilder now

And the cymbals crash in silence

As the crescendo peaks and falls

We catch our breath

And hold it, afraid to exhale

The moment is magic

It's healing, it's deliverance in a drum

The crowd goes wild

And for a moment, the spotlight holds him prisoner

Then it's over

And the stars begin to sing again

The people rush to the dance floor

Full of energy, full of renewed release

And in the background

The little drummer boy sits in the dark

Tears fill his eyes, he is alone

His hands hurt, his fingers tingle

But the anger is gone now

The rage subsided, the demons quieted

He has played his heart out once more

And nothing else matters to him for awhile

And he is at peace

For Todd

Take Me Back To The Night We Met

 

Falling Off A Cliff

 

Falling Off A Cliff

Falling off a cliff

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause you don't have a lot to grab hold of

While falling into a valley below

But oh, so much to hold onto

When you're trying to let love go.

Falling through the ice

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause underneath that icy prison

You can't breathe anything

And trying to inhale in this world of woe

Is like breathing frozen air.

Falling into insanity

Is easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause insanity distorts your every thought

And you can't think with rational mind

But love's insanity amplifies

Each pain for all of time.

Falling into that love

Was easier than falling out of love with you

'Cause our love was a gift from the heights of heaven

And this is a bottomless well

That my heart fell into when yours let it go

And reaches still to that heaven that's turned now to hell.

Mountains Of The Moon

A Little Bit Yours

 

THE OFFERING

THE OFFERING 

  I MOVE-----------------------

ONE TENTATIVE FINGER AT A TIME

SLOWLY---------------------

UNTIL MY FINGERS COME TOGETHER

AND FORM A BOWL IN THE PALM OF MY HAND

AND IN MY PALM APPEARS AN OFFERING: MY HEART

I REACH----------------------

ONE HEARTBEAT AT A TIME

SLOWLY--------------------

UNTIL MY HAND COMES TO REST

IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES

AND I SEE THAT YOU SEE.

I WAIT------------------------

AFRAID TO BREATHE,

 AFRAID TO MOVE, AFRAID TO SPEAK

I STAND--------------------

WAITING AN ETERNITY

FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION

OF THIS, MY HEART

MY PRECIOUS OFFERING, MY ONLY GIFT

WORTHY OF ONE LIKE YOU.

I SMILE---------------------

FOR YOU REACH FORTH YOUR HAND

 AND TAKE MY HAND

IN YOURS

AND WITHOUT MOVING YOUR EYES FROM MINE

YOU PLACE MY PALM AGAINST YOUR LIPS

AND KISS IT

THEN PLACING IT AGAINST YOUR CHEST

UPON YOUR HEART

YOU ACCEPT MY OFFERING

AND WITH PURE LOVE SHINING IN YOUR EYES

YOU EXTEND YOUR HAND TO ME

AND THERE I SEE IN THE BOWL OF YOUR PALM

THE HEART I DESIRE ABOVE ALL THINGS

I CLASP IT TO MY OWN

AND MELTING INTO YOUR STRONG ARMS

AND EYES---------------------

WE BECOME ONE

IN ETERNITY.

New Love

 

soundtrack

New Love

New love

 Comes as the dawn on a new day

Out of darkness, dreaming

Itself into being

Singing unwritten songs,

Dancing on feet, lonely 

And tired of not dancing.

New love 

Whispers 

While shouting

Delights, while fighting doubt

And holds on tightly

While feigning an attitude

 Of laissez-faire.

New love

Is sweet 

Like peaches

On a July afternoon,

Bittersweet, perhaps

If left too long,

If taken too soon.

New love

Comes with a fragrance

 All it's own

Perfume called desire,

Intoxicative danger  

The taste of temptation,

And fear of the unknown.

But..........

 No man

Can renounce it

Nor woman, resist

The thrill of it's mystery,

It's romance,

It's bliss.

'Tis all of these things

New love is......

And more

For love

Is the ocean

And the heart

 Is it's shore.

What Is It?

What is It?

If love is not love

Then what is it?

How can it exist

If it's not real?

If love is not there

How do you feel it?

And what is a love

That you can't feel?

What is wanting

If you don't want it?

And needing something

That you don't need?

Why is the thing you don't need

So all powerful?

And how does it grow

If you don't plant the seed?

How does the heart decide who it loves?

Does the mind then, not play a part?

All the thoughts in the brain cannot conceive

The emotions that live in the heart.

The heart is an entity all  of its own

No one can control it by will

Your mind can demand and command it

But the heart hears and goes it's way, still.

I do not want to love you

I had made no plans, you see

I didn't count on you entwining yourself

Till you became a part of me.

I didn't want to want you 

I didn't need the pain

I had hurt so much from love's cruel touch

And I didn't want to hurt again.

I really tried to run away

When that feeling did approach

I resisted everything I saw in you

That my heart drew to me the most.

But the heart became my master

And my mind just sighed and left

For it knew that soon my heart would break

And that I'd find myself, bereft.

And so I am and so it did

And love's wounds have cut me deep

As my heart reached out to hold onto

Precious things it could not keep.

You tell me love cannot be real 

In this place and space and time

Because your own heart does not feel

The love I feel with mine.

And though that might be true for you

That doesn't make it so

Not thinking, I reached my hands to love

And with the same hands, must let it go.

If this love is not love

Then what is it?

How can it exist

If it's not real?

If my love for you

Is not something that's true

Then tell me 

What is this heartbreak I feel?

You can't tell me my mind has imagined

When my mind warned me not to partake

The mind only has one thing in common

With the heart and that's both of them break.

But only love can break a heart

That thing God gave to man

And only He knows the secret to how

Love can heal that heart again.

Luther

I just found this in an old folder from an old website

that I had forgotten and thought I'd share it.................

💥

I am a poet from birth and a prophet to the Earth. I am spirit, soul and body and all woman. I am a gentle heart and an intelligent mind. I see far more than the average person. I am a loner and a stander in shadows. I have never fit in anywhere. I love poetry, and music and books and deep people. I love beautiful things and languages and places. I am fueled by passion and felled by rejection. I am a woman of dreams and a lover of all things romantic and wonderful. I am Voo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who I'd like to meet:

EVERYONE..... except you. haha (JK) especially YOU.

Against My Will

soundtrack

Against My Will

Lying here trying not to think,

I think of you against my will, against my want

As though bidden by some dark pulling

That cannot be broken by force.

I seem to feel your eyes

Looking for me in the moon's light

Raking across the ceiling of your room

Willing me to look for you.

But there's no me for you to find now

My form has gone where the broken go

To the valley of trampled hearts

And misdirected dreams.

I went unwillingly,

But of necessary need

For self-preservation

And fear of unanswered questions. 

Oh, I still feel you, still see you faintly

Maybe not with the usual five,

(Senses that all beings have)

But with a sixth sense unusually honed.

You see, I've never been ordinary, not really

That's what drew you to me,

Led you to me,  made you love me,

Bound us in unexplainable, unbreakable chains.

You needed no enchantments for that,

No candles burning at midnight,

No murmured chants, no recitations from ancient books,

No magic at all or ever.

It was love that drew us, 

Led us, found us, bound us

Encircled us with her hands

And threaded us together as one.

But it was love, as well,

That broke the threads, the binding,

The defining and entwining

And put out the fires flickering in the dark.

It was love that healed and love that cut

And love that lost it's way

And yet tonight in quietest quiet

Your heart still calls to mine.

Your need has no definition,

Your wanting burns as though unquenched,

Your desire screams without a voice,

As your arms hold to my memory.

I feel you, even now

Across the miles and marbled mountains

Tossing and turning like an ocean's wave

Drawing me to you willingly, as before.............

And failing that, against my will.

And failing that, against my will.
