soft sounds

The whispering wind
answers my call
revealing the truth
the beauty in all
I see the bright light
shining out of your chest
you are the troph of the wave
and you are the crest,
one after another
you come flowing to me
in this rhythm of life
I dance and I'm free
The love all around us
and inside of us too
filling the sky
with visions of you

Sun in the sky

Lost for words
until we realize
they've all been said.
Searching for answers
in an unending sky
which has already spoken
but we did not listen.
Wandering in the dark
too afraid to open our eyes,
we stumble and blame others
for something they did not do.
We see ourselves spoiled
before we've expired
Giving up before we've begun.

I have been given the choice
to see or to sleep, to love or fear
I open my heart to the sun
and a forest grows in my mind
Rich and diverse, full of life
I think and I feel
I imagine everyone roaming wild
in this jungle inside me
behind my smiling face
Where love is all around us
where peace rains down
and nourishes the earth
growing enough food
to feed the world.
In my world there is plenty
There is no body
who will ruin your day

Oil Spill

Contrasting images
past clashing with present
Angry words rain down
poisoning the earth
No hope of growth
in this dead land.
People flying over head
hundreds of people
above as you reach
Up, hoping someone
will see you there
so far below
where the fires burn
Struggle defining decades
childhood lost for generations
Blood spilling uncontrolled
this puncture in humanity
spewing hate into the ocean
of the living, wave after wave
we are drowning in fear
with no one rushing
to mend this tear,
to cap this infected opening
we call war.
