Let Us Begin
To Search From Within

In each and every lifetime, we search for joy and truth…
We search our souls for wisdom…We search our souls for youth…
The memory that was made still lingers in our mind…
So we search our hearts for the feelings that will carry us thru time…
Thru endless mazes of darkness, we keep the flame alive…
We keep the chain intact in order to survive…
Thru lonely hours of heartache and happy times of pleasure…
We continue the search for the memories that will last us to forever…
Forever seeking truth…forever seeking beauty…
Forever searching life to find our goal and duty…
And then, at last, we find our goal…
We climb up the ladder and escape from the hole…
We reach the top and look around….
But where is the happiness They said would be found…
What They didn’t tell Us was to search from within…
For this is where it lies…
This is how we win…
When we find the happiness we knew in our youth…
It is then we climb the ladder…
And TOGETHER we find the truth.

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF REALITY?


What is the essence of reality?
We can peer outside our windows and take in the sights
But through the windows of our eyes…
We behold only a fragment of the world
We look to the sea and behold the horizon
But what lies beyond?

Many cultures, many lands, many people, many places
But we only experience a fraction of the feelings that lies beneath the faces
Many say that they know all of what is real
But still many seek the heart that will help them mend and heal
If the heart is healed and the feelings are real…
We can travel above, thru the skies of love
Love has the power to alter reality and visualize truth
Love has the power to bring us back to our youth

As we travel the world and experience its gifts and joys…
We can see thru the eyes of girls and boys
We can look at ourselves and travel within
We can experience reality and learn again to begin
We can alter reality and help ourselves win
If we can win the hearts of the children of the earth
We can live a life of peace and experience a rebirth
If we look in the eyes of a lover and a friend…
The feelings that we feel will never have an end
Love can lift us higher, higher than ever could we be
If we never found a love to help us see

Yes, reality is altered thru the eyes of love
This magical feeling that comes from above
It starts from the heart and rises to the soul
It affects us in the eyes, it gives us our role
The spark of love that ignites the flame…
Lies deep down inside and will always remain
The eyes are like a mirror, they reflect the soul
The soul effects reality, it may make us spin and roll
Our heads may spin, our minds may wonder…
Is this love we’re feeling? It makes us ponder

Many things in life are uncertain and untrue
But love is for real…it’s for me..it’s for you
The mind may see visions and think them to be real
But if the feeling dosen’t affect affect the heart…
The feeling you’ll never feel

Many eyes think they have found a love
But this feeling they seek comes not from above
If a love is real, if a love is true…
The love will affect the heart and carry you thru
You will know in your heart that the feeling has come
You may not know where or how, but you’ll know who from
So if you keep to your faith and pursue this love…
Your mind and your soul will soar like the dove

Birds are so lovely, birds are so free
Birds spread their wings and fly across the sea
Love is so precious, love is so free
In the rapture of love, he becomes she and she becomes he

Yes love brings us together…we become as one
As it was at the beginning of time, so it must be done
If Eve came from Adam and Adam came from earth…
Then love is the power that gives us our rebirth
The children of the world are the reason we exist
They are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
So why must we resist?
If we keep on this path of subjugating the meek…
How are we to grow if we never even seek?
If we seek to find the truth from within…
A truth that God gave his children to help us begin…
Then maybe we can live a life of peace and joys
And we can ask the advice of children…of girls and boys
But if we continue to follow the path of old
And not give the youth a chance to be bold
Then the feelings we feel will be borrowed and sold

Yes, true love and happiness you can’t buy with money
For the true feeling of love is like the taste of honey
It’s sweet and it’s precious and it lets us see
It may sting you at first, like that of a bee
But after the fear and the pain is gone and past…
The sweetness of the honey will make the feeling last
The pleasure of love will continue to grow
The vision in the eyes will let it show
The feeling from the heart will rise and flow

The soul will carry this feeling…
Above the sea and beyond the stars
It will lead us out of the darkness, out of the bars
Out of the loneliness, out of the greed
It will lead us to grow the flowers, to plant the seed
And when the seeds have been planted to bring forth fruit that is good
All men and all countries will live with peace and brotherhood
All of us are brothers and sisters on this earth
We just need to set our souls free, to experience a birth
When we experience a birth and a child is born…
We can let their love flow and cast out our scorn
When we learn from our children and listen to their truth
We will again feel young…we will remember our youth

So what is the essence of reality?
Perhaps we may never know
But if we can all find a love, then perhaps it will show
Yes, reality is only a perception, of mind and of time
And when reality is altered, time becomes sublime
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
So reality becomes just another word…a word that people say

I say that love is the word that gives us the ways and the means
So keep to your faith, your hope and your dreams
Because few things in life are as they seem
And if you strive to make real your dreams…
You will present yourself with the ways and means
And if you let love and children bring you joys…
You can be sure that they will bring you treasures…
Like love brought you toys
Because now you see the world thru the eyes of girls and boys

So when reality becomes altered and you ask yourself why?
Fear not the universe, but look to the sky
For the skies hold the answers and the reasons why we must try
We must all try to spread God’s gift of love
Because the gift of love has come from above
And so we must all try to attain the truth from within
Because this is where the spark lies that helps us begin

So if we can all begin to see the truth that is there
Then all mankind will prosper from our care
And together we will live and have each other to share
To share our lives, our futures and our past
AND FINALLY, we’ll have love at our side to make it last….

Thanks...Here's another

KEEPING THE FAITH

I heard the news today…
No one left to save the day…
The headlines read of lost despair…
The man in the box spoke of filth in the air…
The man in the office played games with the press…
He said, “ Look fellas, I don’t know how we got into this mess”…
But listen, in the distance, rising up from the ashes and the dust…
There was a voice of reason, a voice of hope…
A voice of justice…A voice to cope…
It said, “Let there be peace, let there be truth”…
And the voice spoke with power…
You see, the voice came from youth.

1985

WHAT IS A WOMAN?


What is a woman?
She is as sweet as a rose
She is as tender as a flower
She is like a Goddess of love when she shines her power
But she is also human…with feelings and needs
She has ambitions, desires, hopes and dreams

What is a woman?

She is the sun in the night and the moon in the day
She leads us to heaven…she shows us the way
She is the light in the tunnel
She is the star in the sky
She holds the answers when our minds question why?

What is a woman?

She is a mother at heart and a lover in soul
As the lover, she helps the man to attain his role
As the mother, she leads the boy to follow his goal

What is a woman?

She is like the eagle, she is the dove
She carries the feelings that lead us to love
She holds the emotion inside and lets it flow
She gives man her soul when it’s time to go
When a boy leaves his mother to find his mate
The woman supports the man to follow his fate
That part of fate that man couldn’t change…it will always remain
It remains in the woman, the child and the man
Through the eyes of love, he takes his stand

What is a woman?

The light of love will show
The chain of love will grow
The treasure of love will flow
When the bodies embrace to become as one
A woman is the man and a man is the son
He becomes she and she becomes he
The feeling of love will let us see
That together we grow, together we heal
Together we live, together we feel.

So What is a woman or What is a man?

The two are as one when both walk hand in hand
We just need to find our heart, our mate and our soul
And together we will grow to follow our goal….

EMOTIONS OF THE HEART

Family and friends, pets and toys…
These are the things that bring us joys…
Loving and laughter, happiness and pleasure…
These are the dreams that all of us treasure…
Emotions of the heart that take meaning thru the eyes…
These are the feelings that no one can hide…
To be caring and loving, to be gentle and true…
These are the feelings that make us feel new…
Yes, love has the power to make us be true…
To be true to ourselves, our family and our friends…
To be true to each other…
To be true to the end.

FOREVER CHILDREN


I look around and I see the world changing. I look around and I see myself changing. For tell me this, what kind of world would we live in if there was not constant change. And I mean constant change in the hearts and minds of our fellow man that will lead to a better understanding of the world we live in.

For I truly believe that we are now setting the stage for the next generation….a generation filled with children in heart and soul, mind and body. Why don’t we get rid of this terrible word we use called “adult”?

Tell me, why can’t we live our entire lives as children? For children are the reason we exist. Our eyes should light up every time we look at a child. For wasn’t this God’s gift to man? We may grow old and attain wisdom, but tell me, what good is it all if there are no children to inherit this wisdom?

Think of a world where children inherit the knowledge of other children. What a beautiful world this would be. No one to tell us that “we shouldn’t act that way”. Why not act that way and see for yourself what happens…what feelings you feel. For if it doesn’t feel right you don’t have to do it.

If every person in this world could have a child and learn from him or her…for children make no distinction between “men and women” and the actions they should follow. They think of themselves as one. They are happy just to live life, ask each other questions, question the answers and experience the world’s gifts that were put on this earth for people to enjoy.

If only we could grow older and find the person who will keep us young…keep us as children in heart and soul, mind and body. For isn’t love God’s ultimate gift to man? If only every person could fall in love and have a child. Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful, world this would be!!

BLUE SKIES AGAIN

In the middle of the light there is blue sky
The blue sky in the eye of the child
Leads us to greener pastures in the years ahead
Through the eyes of a child lies the hearts of all men
In the eyes of love lies the fruit from the tree
In order to get to the fruit of a tree you have to go out on a limb
From the fruits of trees lie the treasures from within
In the eyes of a child, the fruit is so sweet
From the fruits of a child lies the treasure from within
In the eyes of a lover, the treasures will abound
The fruits of love lie inside
It is from the tree of knowledge love will abide
It is from the fruits of trees that love will reside
The light of love will always be found in the eyes of all mankind for all to find
The eyes of truth will always remain in the eyes of our youth
The eyes of the youth will always see how beautiful it is to be young…to be totally free
Through the eyes of youth lie the secret of truth
In the eyes of love lies the secret of above
When the eyes become one, the secret is undone
If the eyes remain apart the secret will not start
If the eyes are close together the secret will unfeather
The pyramid of life is about to begin
Through the period of life lie the treasures to be found
When the pyramid is climbed, the treasures will abound
The eye of the father lies atop of the walls
The eye of the father watches over us all
Through the eyes of youth lies the secret of truth
Through the eyes of truth lies the secret of youth
And so it must be found…for all to astound
Youth, Wisdom, Security…Love is the key for all to see
Love is the reason…..Love is the season.

A MOTHER’S LOVE

A mother’s love is so special and so true…
That wherever you may be, she will always be with you
In spirit and in soul…in body and in flesh…
You, mother, are the rose that keeps our garden fresh…
Many things in life are uncertain and untrue…
But a mother’s love is timeless…a mother’s love is new…
She gives us advice in our hour of need…
Sometimes without knowing…and sometimes without showing…
A mother’s love is forever growing…
Yes, mother, you are the fragrance of the rose and the beauty of the dove…
You’re everything to me and you’ll always have my love.

A SPIRIT IN DREAM

Thinking back on years gone past…
I search for the memories that will make these words last…
I search in my heart and I search in my mind…
I search for the feelings that will carry thru time…
When words of wisdom were spoke in my youth…
They were locked in my mind, never knowing the truth…
Can peace on earth be so far away?
It was locked in my heart but continued to stray…
And then, one day, I awoke from a dream…
Was it real?...Could it be true?...
Did I find love or did I find you?...
She reached out for love…
She reached out for truth…
She reached out for the love that would bring her her youth…
It was two women I saw, She was one woman to me…
She took hold of my soul…
She took hold of my past…
She inspired my heart…
Now the feelings will last…
They will last in my heart, my soul and my love…
Because this woman I saw contained the spirit from above

DO LEADERS CHOOSE OR CHOOSE TO LEAD?



We once became leaders and shot to the moon…
With each shot in time came reason and rhyme… fulfilling a devotion in 1969....
And then we boldly explored this place that was new, we landed in the mountains and drove inside its craters until 1972
Daring and challenging, evoking American Spirits to rise up together...
and leave behind a path of glory to the moon for future generations to follow forever

Yet sadly, as Space Shuttle Discovery may circle the Earth...
-For what it's worth-
Our forever path of glory to the moon may soon also be made in China
Without an American lunar project and a plan of our own
Those 6 American moon bases that we left behind may no longer be called home

If we choose to lead again...
We must do so with added vigor, direction and a common sense plan
For our youth desperately need a sense of purpose
and a moon called Luna may yet turn out to be their promised land.
