Grandmother

November 4, 2009 by Easy

Your pain is over, and me left here alone
But I’m just not ready, not to let you go
I will be strong, don’t give up on me
And as you oh so often told me
We’ll meet again when my chores are done

I can’t tell you how long I’ll be
But I would not think to let you down
Just rest yourself and watch and see
And until that time we’re together again
I’ll be loving you, as I know you’re loving me

And until that time we’re together again
I’ll be loving you, as I know you’re loving me…

The sounds of a newborn crying for its mother
A sip of fresh water after early spring rains
Smells of heavenly scented flowers wafting on the winds
This is the blank slate waiting for you to fill it
In gratitude and wonder, how could we ask for more?
Life runs freely in our world

Apologies

What would you have me be?
I offer sincere apologies for all I lack
This path I walk locked in through my life
What would you have me say?
I offer all apologies for my misunderstanding
Unawareness caught up in ego and self
What else would you have me write?
Truths springing from thought and care
I offer all apologies for I don't have the right
What would you have me be?
All I have are these apologies

Walking out into this sun lit day
Would but to feed my soul on the wonders of the universe
Warm of the light, inspiring, allowing me to create
In this sun, this light, love and care filling this journey
And with you, together, one, union
Yet happiness eludes
Why?

I would wish to be more like you
So easily amused, dancing my way through each day
Love filled moments leading to laughter and joy
Within me I find my nest of blame, everything is my fault
Choices I made causing pain to those I love
Essence of who I am leaving no real choice at all
I take on all the dark, all the pain, burning in shame
Freezing in the sun, choking on the ashes of mistake
Alone is all I am
All I manage to be
Why?

What would you have me be?
All I have are these apologies…

To Carry On

This new day
I awoke and I knew
You were really gone
Drab new day, no new way,
Eyes blinded to see the dawn.
You gone your own way, I left to go mine
How do I now carry on?

The clear sky above, stars filling the night
Will I ever have cried enough?
How will the sun ever shine again?
This empty darkness hast come into my world
I need rejoice, what other choice?
I must carry on

Fables and visions of loves now long gone
Memories of us together, singing our songs of love
All bear witness to the quickness of the end
These petty differences that drove us apart
How did we allow so little to become so much
I now sing not but the blues, dues we paid lost to the past
Tell me how do I carry on

Where are you gone now my love?
Where gone our happiness, our tomorrows?
Do you too think of the bliss we could have had?
Do you too live now with the sorrow of what we lost?
Questions of a thousand dreams, plans of tomorrow
What do you now see?
Lover, can you not walk again with me?

Again on my own, empty heart yearning once more
I would chase you down, yet what was it made you run?
I try my best just to get around, move on with my life
Still the questions of a thousand dreams
What do you now see?
Lover, can you not walk again with me?

Can you not walk again with me?...

Living

Live your life to the fullest, embracing each day
Let not the fear of death enter your heart
Trouble no one about their religion
Respect others in their own views,
But demand that they respect yours

Love your life, perfect your life,
Make everything in your life a thing of beauty,
Seek to make your life long and full,
And devote its purpose to the service of your people

Prepare your music in your heart and perfect it each day
Ever ready for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word and smile when passing a friend or stranger
And show respect to all people but grovel to none

When you arise in the morning give thanks for your blessings,
For the food, the air, and the sheer joy of living,
And if you see no reason for giving thanks,
The fault lies only in within yourself

Abuse and mistreat no one and no thing, never giving in to anger
For abuse turns a wise man into a fool, and robs your spirit of all vision,
And learn well the lesson of violence,
For no matter what the cause, or how just, violence only brings the same

When it comes your time to die, accept it as a part of life
Be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death,
Those that weep and pray for more time to live their lives in a different way,
Instead sing loud your life music and rejoice in your return home…

Yesterdays and Tomorrows

Would you have me live in yesterdays
Holding to the what ifs, the might have beens,
I’m repentant my love, but I must live for today,
For I would have our tomorrow begin fresh and new.

All the yesterdays you hold are dead
Long gone, they will see the suns light no more,
Our tomorrow rests just ahead
And with each step forward we write a brighter future

So we can dwell no more on what was,
It can't be changed, so kick it loose and let it fall
Come walk with me and open up our future
We can make it so rich and true,
If only you believe, in the strength of us...

Four Steps

I look into the pool and see my reflection.
I become aware of my sense of self, the core of me.
But the pool does not mirror back the whole of my being.

Thus begins my First Great Awakening.
Lessons acquired by my quiet listening within
Simply learning I am more than what I see.

I have learned that death is but a transitional phase of life.
Dying may end my physical existence, but I continue
Beyond my physical state is my true spirit, my part of the one
Closing my eyes I hear someone call my name,
I know the voice, recognize them from my past
And I see them once again, come to walk by my side.

Thus begins my Second Great Awakening
To know I exist beyond any physical limitation
And time itself is no barrier to my soul.

Before me is a bridge of light, my connection here with the greater
Spirit strong, wrapped in the love of my friends, I step forward
And together we dance within all the colors of the universe
As we cross, awareness comes, I learn more of my part of the one
I step beyond my physical being, break free of time,
Imagined boundaries and linear existence fading away.

Thus begins my Third Great Awakening
Rejoining the all of what I am
And remembering my true self once more.

I now well know the lessons of the wheel
The Serpent in the south, the place of the beginning,
Where I came to address the wounds of my life
How I shed my past the way the serpent sheds its skin,
And in so doing I no longer had to relive old pain and history.

Jaguar in the west, the place of the death,
Where I came to address my fear of change and the dark shadow.
My emotions showed me how death can become my ally
Teaching me to be impeccable in all aspects of my life.
Once I conquered my fears, I was able to act decisively
Moving ever forward into a brighter future.

Hummingbird in the north, where I learned to drink from the well of knowledge,
Just as hummingbirds drink only from the sweetest flowers, I drank from light
I learned to hear the voice of wisdom, not allowing the old critical voices
Those that would insist I could not be who I was really becoming.

Eagle in the East, representing the power of vision
This is where I learned to push myself beyond my limited knowledge,
To search and find the surprising ideas that can bring about creative change
Embracing opportunities for a better future, for both myself and all mankind.
And gaining the courage to stand by my conviction, ever striving to aid


Thus begins my Fourth Great Awakening
Making peace with the journey now behind me
Reaching forgiveness and acceptance of my past
Know that failure is but the smallest part of trying.

For I have looked into the pool and seen my reflection.
And it allowed me to become aware of my sense of self, the core of me.
And knowing now that the pool does not mirror back the whole of my being

For I am so much more…

Tell Me of Love

The way you are, a vision divine
Any man would die to simply see your face
What are you doing with a fool like me
What did I do for you to share your life with me?

So this night I ask for answer to my plea
How did I ever win your love, warm your heart?
What did I do, what did I say, what did you see?
What made you turn your love my way?

Well, I'm the guy bound never to advance,
No fancy car, big house with picket fence
The plain simple life is all I can offer you,
What a miserable waste for such a vision of the stars

My overwhelming fear is that when I awake,
I find it all but a dream, happiness imagined
Because my love, you’re by far the best thing,
That could ever have happened in my life

So one more thing that I just have to know,
For I fear this love does scare me so,
What is it that you saw in me?
What do you feel when we embrace?

The way you are, a vision divine
Any man would die to simply see your face
What are you doing with a fool like me
What did I do for you to share your life with me?

But, for all my questions, I do know, this is love…
