Earthrise

May It Be..2Cellos

Earthrise

I stood on the new moon 

And I watched the blue earth rise

With forests of green

And bright clouds in her eyes

I saw how she danced

In orbital glee

I saw that she loved the wide skies

And the sea

I watched her embrace

All the colors of man

Knew she'd been created

Before they began

Saw how she formed

Was molded with love

Saw how the light came

From the light source above

I felt in my heart

How the Creator knew

That his creatures of clay
Would cleave his heart in two

Like my brothers before them
Many servants, beloved
We saw their lights fade
 As they were banned from above

And yet he created

And gave man that place

Earth's garden of Eden

With such love on his face

And the earth was his treasure

In the vast universe

And he taught man his poetry

Each line and each verse

And he taught them his songs

And Earth applauded for joy

As it received all the wonders

That his hands did employ

Till the brightness went dark

And the faces of men

Hid themselves in the shadows

As they chased after sin

And the plowshares, to weapons

Turned the wonder to wrath

And the Creator's head bowed

As his heart tore in half

And I know how he feels

For my heart's breaking, too

For the forests' shorn foliage

And the skies, rarely blue

I loved all the colors

That sprang from his hand

On the earth, every planet

And the variety of man

They've forgotten what joy is

They've forgotten to feel

That they are a family

Though they're his family, still

And the earth is unhappy

And has fallen to fear

Mourning for mankind

And the love that lived here

For I am an angel

That watched the earth form

Saw the sun set in evening

And then rise in the morn

I beheld all the miracles

That were bestowed from above

Yet few of Earth know me

Because my name is Love

Love, scorned by Hatred
And with Hatred, replaced
Took the loving from living 
And man's sweet smiles, erased

Dark ages came, dark ages are
And ever more will be
Unless the darkness in men's souls
Will turn and call for me

I'm told that all can be made new
Some bright and happy day
When the dark has run it's wicked course
And no longer has it's way

For eons long, we've waited
My brothers, just like me
 To see that sad old world made new
And the hearts of men, made free

 Tonight, I stand on the ancient moon 

With teardrops in my eyes 

Watching through that darkness, waiting

To see a new Earthrise.

Tears Have Been My Companions

Tears Have Been My Companions 

Lost years had shadowed me so long

I couldn't see the sun

I couldn't find the strength to crawl

Never mind to run.......

I looked in the mirror and every day

A stranger looked back there at me

She covered my eyes and filled me with lies

And pure darkness was all I could see........

What hope that I found was found in the sound

Of the music that played in the world

And when it died, I died inside

A lost and lonely girl..........

I didn't know just who I was

I didn't know my name

The more I changed and tried to fit

The more things stayed the same.........

Putting on the costumes

They gave me for the parts

I read my lines and took my bows

With the other broken hearts.........

Crying in the mid of night

My pillow stained and torn

From screaming questions out of fright

And torment hard to be borne..........

I lived in fear. I lived with tears

My life was filled with grief

I laughed and played my parts so well

But tears were my relief........

And now, but now, I've found myself

The true me, after all

The building that I thought I was

I watched it burn and fall...........

And tears are still my companions

Though not instruments for fear to employ

To my great surprise, when Love touched my eyes

Those same tears filled my eyes with joy.

Shelter Me

    Shelter Me

    Shelter me, O Lord, I pray

    In the brightness of the day

    In the darkness of the night

    Say you'll never leave my sight.

    Father me when I am small

    And more so when I'm grown and tall

    For it is then, I need you most

    For grown ups oft have no one close.

    Call me when I stray too far

    Always tell me where you are

    Guide my feet back on the path

    And heal my heart with your sweet laugh.

   Teach me how to trust you more

   Walk on faith to reach the shore

   Hold my head up and not kowtow

  When Evil tries to make me bow.

 Show me how your own heart feels

 And let me know that love is real

 Let me learn to care and serve

 That love to those who don't deserve.

In your image I was made

Till sin made you fast fade away

Cleanse me from my shame and sin

And in your image, make me again.

Lord, I need you every hour

Your anointing, your great power

Let me see me through your eyes

And separate me from the lies.

For all my days and all my years

Lord, cleanse me with your righteous tears

Wash me in your Holy blood

And let your words become my food.

This I ask this very night

Take my wrongs and make them right

Let me feel safe where I may roam

And know with you, I'm always home.

I do not need this world of dirt

With all it's heaviness and hurt

It's beauty great from sea to sea

(But it's arms can never shelter me.)

And one day soon, from here I'll rise

To flee the Earth and it's blue skies

Go home to Glory, our Father's land

Forever in your presence, stand.

It can't come too soon, can't come too soon

I don't need the sun, don't need the moon

Only one thing can't be replaced:

The love that shines on your dear face.

And if I've that, I'll need no more

No bed, no table, no house, no door

And I will tell the world it's true

Lord, I don't need anything but You.

War of the Angels

Drums of Gaugamela

War of the Angels

War broke out in Heaven

Before and After the Cross

Hell broke in because of men

And all it seemed was lost.

Battle cries screamed through the skies

And days turned into nights

Darkened sun and blood red moon

And men cried for the Light.

Angels, angels, everywhere

Fighting to the death

Planets crashed and planets died

And men fought to draw breath.

Fluffy clouds hid monstrous things

The sea's roar swept the land

And every bit of bread and wine

Was taken from man's hand.

Hope, it seemed was gone and deemed

To be a fairy tale

The demons raised their glasses high

To toast the King of Hell.

Onward, onward, ghoul and troll

Marched through the atmosphere

Reigning terror on the Earth

And feasting on men's fear.

No light, no light could mortals find

As earthquakes split the city

Of Babylon and Bethlehem

And no one showed them pity.

Armor bright and silver gleemed

Upon the angels' breasts

And darkened foe with sword of woe

Refused to give them rest.

The fight raged on through history

Through Ages of mankind

And still today, the army holds sway

Waiting for the Sign.

The God of War, the God of Peace

They meet on heavenly ground

Their armies fight to victory win

And till then, will not stand down.

I Wish We

I Wish We


In this world of highs and lows and whys
I seek the wisdom of one who's wise
To tell to me why this whole world cries
And runs so fast to it's own destruction.

A baby's born only to expire
And those who survive are passed through fire
Souvenirs of lust and a night's desire
Born to a world that doesn't want them.

I think of childhood and I can't recall
What it is to rise but remember the fall
And I long for my mother at my doorway to call
But there's nobody there I can see.

A world full of motherless children cry
And beg and plead and hope and die
And reach out their arms towards you and I
But our arms are too full of our pain.

The world in war is a terrible place
Replacing the smiles with it's dread on our face
Promising us hell and giving us taste
As we go marching in to the feast.

The floods have come, the floods have gone
And taken our souls and taken our homes
Left us in sorrow and left us alone
And we walk in the water and weep.

Then the fire, it comes and burns us up
And forces our mouths to drink from it's cup
And the wrath of the world fills our hearts as we sup
And it wins in the end, we concede.

I look around me on this saddest of days
And see humankind in all of it's ways
And I feel so low I can barely pray
So I whisper my wishes out loud.

I wish we could go to a mountain top high
Away to a city hidden there in the sky
Where nobody hurts and nobody cries
And nobody misses their mother.

Where floods cannot reach us and fire cannot burn
And all of the lessons of life have been learned
Where nobody cowers in another man's scorn
And we all live in peace with our brothers.

I wish we could throw down our weapons at last
And live without fear of the future or past
We could seal up that hole where our hate has been cast
And throw the key in the sea and forget it.

I wish we could reach out and take someone's hand
And teach him to live and to love and to stand
For we're all, after all, fellow man's fellow man
Though it's clear we're a disfunctional family.

But I wish, I wish upon a star
For this land so near and for those lands so far
That the rain of peace would put out flames of war
So we'd never fear death anymore.

I wish we could rise up on the wings of a bird
On the winds of the morning like a song to be heard
By the ears of the world with it's clamoring words
And put an end to it's suffering forever.

I wish we could know and I wish we could go
To a place where we all would be ever loved so
To a sky filled with sunshine and to streets made of gold
Far away from this place, I wish we...................

dedicated to all the Katrina flood victims
and to all victims of the world everywhere

When All Is Said And Done.......

NEVER

NEVER



I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HUMANS
I NEVER COMPREHENDED  THE BREED
I NEVER KNEW ONE TO BE SELFLESS
BUT SELFISH BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED.

I NEVER WAS TENDERLY TOUCHED
I NEVER CHERISHED, FELT
I NEVER KNEW THE TASTE OF LOVE
OR HOW IT LOOKED OR SMELT.

I NEVER HAD A HAND TO HOLD
OR SAW A HEART FELT SMILE
I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO FEEL SAFE
OR PASSED A SECURE AND SURE WHILE.

I NEVER FIT IN WITH ANY GROUP
BUT HUNG AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF FEAR
THEIR DAGGERED EYES WOULD PIERCE MY HEART
AND SAY "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE."

I NEVER GOT TO LET DOWN MY GUARD
I NEVER GOT TO BE
THE PERSON THAT I AM DEEP INSIDE
THE PERSON THAT IS ME.

MY PARENTS MADE ME RUN AWAY
THEY DROVE ME FROM MY HOME
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY THAT I WAS DEAD
AND SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ALONE.

SO LIFE HAS BEEN A LONELY WALK
AND SMILES, THEY HAVE BEEN FEW
BUT CAME THE DAY YOU LOOKED MY WAY
AND I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU.

AND NOW I SEE THAT I WAS WRONG
MISTAKEN WAS MY HEART
JUST WHEN I'D BROKEN DOWN MY WALLS
YOU TORE MY SOUL APART.

BUT THAT'S OKAY, I'VE HURT BEFORE
I KNOW THAT PAIN SO WELL
MISFIT AM I, BANNED FROM THE SKY
AND BARRED FROM THE GATES OF HELL.

A LONELY WANDERER, NEVER HOME
WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT CRY
A PART BUT NOT REALLY, OF THE HUMAN RACE
AND NEVER KNOWING WHY.

when I was a teenager

Somewhere In Forever

 Somewhere In Forever


Somewhere in forever
Beyond my reach and realm
There is a dream I cannot see
Because my eyes are dim.

Somewhere in forever
Beyond my listening ear
There is a symphony playing for me
That my deafness cannot hear.

Somewhere in forever
Where love tastes good and sweet
There is a feast prepared for me
That I may one day eat.

Somewhere in forever
So soft unto the touch
There is a blanket spread for me
With the warmth I need so much.

Somewhere in forever
With a fragrance rare and pure
A balm falls from a flower that soon
Will all my weakness cure.

Somewhere in forever
My hopeful heart may know
That all the things I haven't seen
Yet, will their faces show.

Somewhere in forever
If forever starts today
I'll walk into a brand new world
And throw this one away.

The Garbage Man

THE GARBAGE MAN

HERE COMES THE GARBAGE MAN

GET OUT YOUR GARBAGE CANS

THROW OUT THAT TRASH THAT YOU'VE BEEN GLEANING

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AND GET SPRING CLEANING.

PITCH OUT THE HATE YOU'VE HELD SO LONG

THOSE LONESOME OLD BEER DRINKING SONGS

VACUUM UP THAT LITTERED STRIFE

AND GET THE GARBAGE OUT OF YOUR LIFE.

TEMPER YOUR TEMPER AND MEEKNESS RELEARN

IMPATIENCE THROW ON THE FIRE TO BURN

GATHER UP YOUR PARTY HATS

AND EMULATIONS ADD TO THAT.

THROW OUT THE POSTERS OF YOUR IDOLS

AND ON YOUR TONGUE PUT ON A BRIDLE

STOP YOUR EYES FROM ROVING OVER

TO THE BACK YARD OF YOUR BROTHER.

STOP YELLING AT YOUR LITTLE KIDS

FOR DOING SILLY THINGS YOU DID

` TURN OFF THE T.V. AND HIT YOUR KNEES

AND INSTEAD OF YOURSELF, TRY GOD TO PLEASE.

AND WHEN YOU'VE GATHERED UP YOUR TRASH

AND BURNED YOUR RUBBISH TO THE LAST

RUN YOU A BABTISM AND JUMP RIGHT IN

AND WASH AWAY ALL TRACE OF SIN.

THE GARBAGE TRUCK ROLLS BY EVERY HOME

AND KEEPS COMING BY TILL THE GARBAGE IS GONE

BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER I'M TALKING ABOUT:

HE CAN'T PICK IT UP IF YOU DON'T PUT IT OUT.

Cancer

Cancer


There's a thousand kinds of cancer
A thousand kinds of death
A thousand ways to make us pay
For ever drawing breath.

I've seen it in every walk of life
I've seen it in my own
I've seen it my friends and family
I've seen it in my home.

Cancer eats and cancer knaws
And cancer lives to kill
Cancer takes our joy away
With a deadly perverse thrill.

Cancer thrives on things we love
It grows on what is bad
It takes the sunshine from our days
And replaces it with sad.

I've never known a human being
That's escaped that deadly touch
No one's immune from that hellish tune
That dirge I hate so much.

From hell it came to bring us pain
And steal our joy in life
To eat away both night and day
With it's hopeless heartless strife.

If cancer had one name alone
It's as it's always been
The worst from hell has come to dwell
That one name would be Sin.

Eating at God's Paradise
Eating at our tables
Eating at our very souls
We continue and enable.

So many kinds of cancer
So many kinds of ill
So many ways to shut out life
So many ways to kill.

The physical, the spiritual
The emotional, the soul
It has a way of grinding up
The things we see as gold.

And if there's a remedy for this
This cancer I speak of
To stop the spread before we're all dead
That remedy is Love.
