Buddha Smile
Non-Physical intention
I breathe it in, I let it go
The breath is deep, release is slow
I feel the calm, I start with ease
A Buddha smile, a great release
I’m breathing in and letting go
Awareness spins, I’m in the flow
My heart is sure, I am at peace
The Buddha smile, the great release
Dream it into Life
Intention into action
Open wide, deep inside
Spark new light, dream it into life
From within, start again
Spark new light, dream it into life
Life becoming love creating worlds
Dream about it
Riding the Light
The exhilaration of incarnation
Heyeah! Riding the light!
Oh yes… it’s quite the flight…
A new beginning is here, step in time, I’m on the road again
I know there is nothing to fear, and I feel exhilaration
The game is on, I move along
I’m on my way, make my day
No turning back, stay on the track
Or blaze a trail… hey!
I hear the melody call and I love to sing along
The rhythm showing the way, invitation to the song
I breathe it in, exhale it out
I’m having fun, twist and shout!
Awareness spins, I’m in the flow
Reach for the sky and make it so
Heyeah! Riding the light!
Learning Curve
The necessity of discernment
Out here on my own, I can feel alone
The moment’s got a lot of nerve
Waiting for the pitch, don’t wanna swing and miss
But life can throw a learning curve
Making contact – put the ball into play
Make it real – bringing the dream into being
Up to bat again, a fast one at my chin
Make me want to run and hide
I pick myself up, time to get tough
I’m gonna take ya for a ride
Making contact – see the ball off the wall
Make it real – bringing the dream into being
Reflections
The experience of loss
A moment, a time gone by
A story, a wonder why
Reflections that mirror insight
A journey, a stepping stone
A learning, a lonely zone
A silent prayer, an empty stare
A time is gone, a moving on
A story with high and low
The blessings still overflow
A grateful prayer, I am aware
The gift unfurls, a string of life with pearls
A moment, eternity, a story, a mystery
Reflections, a mirror, a grateful prayer, I am aware
The gift unfurls… a string of life with pearls
Nightmare – Dawn
In the wake of loss can be emotional nightmare.
Still, in time, the dark night gives way
to the light of new day.
I can have a bad dream like anybody else can
Running in the darkness, running from myself
Wake up baby, snap out of it!
Wake up baby, shake it off
Get up baby, snap out of it!
Wake up baby, right now
It’s a nightmare… dawn is coming…
Sneaking up behind me, making funny noises
Nothing really there, but still I hear the voices
It’s a nightmare… I’ve been dreaming….
Dawn is here… Look! The sun.
Magic
With deliberate caution and new awareness,
we step back into the life flow.
Out on the trail and looking around
Head in the sky and feet on the ground
Paying attention to this new day
Walking the talk and making my way
Spring in the air and spring in my feet
Feel the tempo, the rhythm is sweet
Paying attention to all I hear
Reading the signs and my vision is clear
Make a magnet with a circle of love
Make the magic magnetic
Be a magnet in the circle of love
Be the magic magnetic
Be the one that you’ve been dreaming of
You’re the one that you’ve been dreaming of
Make the magic in a circle of love
I’ve got the love of the family and a lot of good friends
It’s the loving that feeds me and the love that I send
Keeping it with me wherever I go
It’s the faith that I feel and the love that I know
The Love
The thrill of incarnation is renewed,
with deepened appreciation
I see the world go by, as I’m driving down the road
There’s something coming alive… in my heart, it’s what I know
Heyeah! Riding the light!
I hear voices of fear – I feel the love that is everywhere
I see pictures of pain – I feel the love in everything
I’ve known days of despair – I feel the love that is everywhere
I still trust in my heart… I have from the start
We’re never apart… the love that you are…
The love that’s coming from you… you know who you are…
The love behind the infinite endless myriad animation
Moonlight
A pause of appreciation,
in the timeless magic of the moonlight
Moonlight, the meadow shining so bright
Shimmering and dancing a magical dream
A vision so enchanting
reminding that the darkness is more than it seems
Moonlight, shine upon a dark night
Illuminate the shadows around every turn
You’re coming and you’re going…
There’s comfort in the knowing you’ll always return
So shine…
Moonlight, rise on the horizon
Opening my eyes to a new way of seeing
Shine across a big sky
Opening my heart to a new way of being
Feeling… compassionate loving…
Reaching… hoping… knowing
Patience
When life is a grind, patience is the shortest road
To reach for the vision sometimes is a grind
Looking for a change one step at a time
It takes patience, it takes faith in the path that’s shown
Gotta stay with it with nothing to show
I wanna leave, with nowhere to go
It takes patience, it takes peace in the great unknown
It takes patience, it takes faith in the path that’s shown
I’m just fine – time is on my side
Lift that sail, the wind is gonna blow
Quietly I smile inside, ‘cause I know
Patience is the shortest road
Life Knows
The discovery of faith is the recognition that somehow,
life always knows what it’s doing
Wishing for a halo to wrap around the world
I feel the confusion and pain
Dreaming of an answer to make it all OK, and then…
I remember what I know, Life always knows the way
Myriad expressions, we will come and go
We flicker in and out of this field
It can be overwhelming to take the story in, but then…
A deeper truth reveals the heart that we conceal
Dreams in the night, haunting my faith
Reaching beyond… still, I pray…
Life will show the way
I wonder ‘bout a savior, I wonder ‘bout a saving grace
The suffering is breaking my heart
I feel the compassion that wraps around the world
And I say, as I’m standing here today,
“Life always finds a way.”
Life knows the way.
Brotherly Love
Birthdays… life markers for all of us in many ways.
Here’s a song to celebrate my brother Charlie’s birthday.
A birthday is upon you, another time around
Gaze into reflections for diamonds to be found
Your wealth is your discernment, your gift is what you share
Your light is your becoming, the world is your mirror
Release into your power, yours is a heart of gold
The love that is your essence is the story being told
You’re my beloved brother, you are the eagle scout
You come into your center, the heart beyond your doubt
Relax into your guidance, become your inner light
Then follow inspiration to horizons of insight
Release into your power, yours is a heart of gold
The love that is your essence is the story being told
… is the journey that unfolds… take a ride now
My beloved brother, we celebrate your love
Raise your glass and drink a toast
Rock on! Live long! Happy birthday
The Rapture
Even the most ordinary moments can be doorways to extraordinary awareness.
Now, heading into town, step into the hustle and the bustle all around
Flitter here and there, weaving in and out of other people
and their fantasy myopia… sounds like me…
Move – moving with the beat
Flowing with the motion emotion within and around me
Yes, it’s just a game… still, I love to play it just the same
We are co-creating a moment abundant with energy
Then the rapture comes, and I am amazed
My eyes are open, my heart ablaze
Everything is the same, and everything has changed
In the spark of a moment, I awake again
It’s all a movement of awareness
It’s an expansion of awareness
Yeah – well all that’s well and good
But still I got a list of all the things I gotta do
Time is moving fast…
Don’t know where I’m going,
don’t know how long this will last
Then the rapture comes….
Sunset
Another pause to appreciate
the amazing beauty of this life experience
Gazing at the sunset, another day gone by
Smiles of remembrance paint across the sky
A gratitude within me for all that comes my way
And I say, “thank you for this day.”
The clouds are changing colors, a grand finale fade
A quiet is upon me, as light gives way to shade
A deep appreciation with Spirit is conveyed
And I say, “thank you for this day.”
Turn Around
The richness of life, with myriad experience,
still is but a blink…
Take a turn here and a season goes by
Take a spin there and a year is behind
See a life pass in a blink of an eye, yeah but
Life is longer than time
Turn around, ride with a kid on a slide
Turn again, rock in a city of light
Now a rainbow in a garden delight
There is no ending in sight
Life is brighter than light
The world is passing me by, as I’m passing by the world
I’m still doing just fine with my kitties and my girl
I breathe it in, exhale it out
I’m having fun, twist and shout!
Awareness spins, I’m in the flow
Reach for the sky and make it so!
Heyeah! Riding the light!
The Center
Reflections on a light well lived,
and appreciation for moments still to come
What a life it has been, what a dream we’ve become
Looking back and I smile… and we’re still not done!
When the call comes in, and it’s time to move on
Going back to The Center, where I’ve been all along
Life becoming love creating worlds
What a ride it has been… hey… you wanna ride again?
Let’s ride!
Another Buddha Smile
The ending is the beginning…
I breathe it in, I let it go
The breath is deep, release is slow
I feel the calm, I am at peace
The Buddha smile, the great release
