Intent

I left a blank space waiting
To be filled at a future date
A space just white and calling
Like a clean and empty plate

I've now a twisted sense to share
Of motions gone awry
Of intent and fate ensnared
Leaving a coiled and knotted lie

Reflecting on later

We're all headed to the great beyond
Once we accomplish what we set out to learn
We'll seek a return to our truest home
The place where angels and spirits dwell
The place we still know and love so well

Love/Life

How can we harness the energy
That is made up of you and even me?
The vibrations that echo from age to age
Witnessing lifetimes of happiness and rage?
From the ether we have come down
To learn to live or sink and drown
Now with the thought that we are love
We can return to our homes above

Morning voices

In the early morning hours
When all the world's asleep
That's when you hear the calling
Of all who've preceded you to the deep

That brilliant mysterious place
To which we all will go
When we've completed every lesson
And been taught all we came to know

But for now the far off voices
Are only those inside my head
Telling me to live with joy
As we'll all soon join the dead

Remembering tomorrow

If dreaming was reality
Then waking up would be a dream
In many ways that's what we live
When looking around at what we give

This haze of thought in which we dwell
Is far from those golden shores above
Where each day is brighter than any summer
And the bluest sky is matched only by the river

From what people remember and mystics glimpse
We can surely understand
That we're here to learn about our souls
To accomplish our own very personal goals

Choices before

Finding out now how cloistered we are
Living a harsher reality only from far
Thanking our blessings that we don't have to fear
Of living in dread and risking our tears
Maybe we couldn't bear to withstand
The rigors of having a bitter, mean hand
No matter the reason we're grateful we're spared
That we're loved and accepted even though we didn't dare
