~~~ The Wind and The Dove ~~~

Sweet is the prey that is high on the wind,
Sweeter than time has forgot.
Who is it that, comes with the wind,
Is it not you is it not?

It is I said the dove who is high on the wind,
It is I said the dove it is I.
Is it you said the wind that I toss all about,
It is you said the wind that is high?

Why do you come when you're not wanted here,
Time my sweet dove time to fly.
There are dangers up here my dove said the wind,
There are dangers up high in the sky.

So! Fly you must fly said the wind to the dove,
It is you that is prey while you are here.
You must fly away quickly my dove you must fly,
For, it is you that is prey that I fear.

Fear not! Said the dove to the wind as it blew,
Fear not, for I am wanted here.
I've travelled so far to find my sweet love,
And it is her that is prey that I fear.

I've come for my love that's fallen from high,
If she has, fallen all broken and spent.
I've come to be with her in time of her need,
Till the last of her spirit is sent.

Then, come with my blessings the wind told the dove,
My blessings are all I can give.
I cannot protect you, from what flies above,
It is you that must fly, so to live.

High from the sky the eagle swoops downs
To grasp that sweet prey from the sky.
And the dove it dripped blood on it mate far below,
As his spirit it started to die.

The wind it blew stronger than ever before,
Till the eagle lost hold of its prey.
Then, the wind took that dove gently down to the ground,
To where that doves mate, she did lay.

They lay there together united again,
Together at last in their death.
Then the wind it blew past, back to the sky,
As that dove drew, the last of his breath.

~~~ Windows ~~~

Your eyes they are the windows, the windows to your soul,
No matter if they're green or blue, or they are as black as coal.
They are the only pathway, the only pathway known to man,
They lead you to your destiny no matter what your plan.

Some people close their windows; they pull their shutters down,
To hide the way they feel inside, behind a half worn frown.
They hide behind their fears, that came from days gone by,
Days when they had, lost all their hope, and their eyes could only cry.

We need to keep our windows free, free from dust and grime,
We need to keep them open every second of our time.
Our eyes should lead us forward; they should never lead us back,
They should never take us to the past, but keep us on our track.

That track we take is destiny that leads us to our fate,
So open up your windows before it is too late.
They are our pathways taken, into our very soul
To take us to our destiny, to our life long goal.

~~~ Eyes and Hands and Soul ~~~

If my eyes they were to see, those eyes that you behold,
Would you think, that I was, too forward and too bold.
And if I were to touch your hand, that hand that you control,
Then would you let me hold it till, your heart began to roll?

And would your heart send messages, to your holding hand,
And let me know that touching mine might make you feel so grand.
Or would you let it go real quick just like a burning coal,
And let your heart stay all locked up, with, no key to fit the hole.

And, would your eyes look to the ground to hide your inner-self,
To fill your heart with emptiness, then, hide high upon a shelf.
I'd love to see within your eyes to seek your lonely soul,
And see what makes you fear yourself that hides your aureole.

And, I'd like to hold your hand until; you know just what you feel,
To let you know that in this world, sometimes that love is real.
Love is not a thing of hope nor tis a useless ploy,
It is a thing that one does hold, a thing of pure joy.

Your soul is very much the same, but guard it very well,
And only let it go to those, of whom that you can tell.
Can tell that they are just the ones to share your common goal,
And that is when you know that you, can open up your soul.

That is what a soul mate is, and close and loving friend,
Someone whose love will stay with you until the very end.
Someone to share your heart and soul, your hands and loving eyes,
Until the day this world it ends, and all we know then dies.

~~~ When ~~~

When you're looking for someone,
whose name it comes to mind
You wonder why they're hard to seek,
and very hard to find.
It is because they don't belong
within your daily deeds,
But, somehow you find they are the one
that, sometimes you really need.
They are the one that held your heart
within that heart of theirs,
They are the one who held your soul
that one who really cares.
They are the one you trusted on
with words and other things
They are the one whose name it chimed
when all your heart bells ring.
They are the one who held you tight
when you had lost your way,
They are the one who kept you safe
to live another day.
But! We do forget just who we are
and the places we have been,
And we do forget the one who cared
and the places we have seen.
It's time to face reality
And, what comes within our lives,
And never take for granted
our partners or our wives.

~~~ How Often Do We Loose Ourselves ~~~

How often do we loose ourselves
When we don't know who we are,
And a little bit is missing
And we haven't traveled far,
And that little bit that's missing
We don't know where it went,
Because we haven't used it properly
Or, it's in the change we've spent?

How do we get, to where we're going
If we don't know where we are,
And, when will we ever get there
If we do not know how far,
Will we know it if we get there
And will we know just what to do,
And, if we do not do it properly,
Will we have to do it all a' new?

If you really go and loose yourself
What are you going to be?
Because!
If you really go and loose yourself,
You never will be free!

Go search and find that missing bit
That you've left alone,
And put it back into your heart,
Back into its home.
And you will find just where you are,
You'll find yourself again,
And you'll never have to loose your way
To suffer life's long pains.

~~ That Reason for Our Meeting ~~

We never meet by chance you know,
There's, this reason don't you see.
We meet because we're meant to meet,
To meet just you and me.

It may not come to clear at first,
Those reasons for our meeting.
But feel how good it feels inside
When we give to each our greeting.

That touch and feeling of our greeting,
Sends pleasures through our soul.
Sometimes those pleasures that we feel,
We just cannot control.

So, when we test those feelings out,
Each time we touch and greet.
We'll know for sure that reason is,
That, we were meant to meet.

~~ Be True To Yourself ~~

What of life you ask, life is to be true to yourself,
And by living life to the fullness with all your dreams, hopes and desires.
Our hopes, dreams and desires then become as one when we live our life to the fullest,
Let life become the foundation of your happiness and your joy.
When this is achieved:
Your desires will become your happiness and your joy,
Your hopes will also become your happiness and your joy,
And your dreams will then become your happiness and your joy.

So live your life to the fullest and ask of no-one,
Follow your hopes, dreams and desires,
But most of all,
BE TRUE TO YOURSELF.

~~ Leaves of Gold ~~

Leaves of gold they float about,
Across the empty sky,
They float and spin then fall to earth
To rot then slowly die.
.
Life is like those golden leaves
We return to whence we came,
Because, our life is full of love and hate,
But we all end up the same.

Is it life or is it death
That makes us understand,
That we are o' so very small
Just like a grain of sand.

We travel here and travel there
To search where we belong,
But some-times we make mistakes
Then every thing goes wrong.

We must decide what is the best
For each of us to do,
We must decide what path to take
For us to go on through.

Some accept the path they take,
They believe that path is right,
And others take the path to hell
But they try with all their mite.

There are losers and there's winners
In this place we live,
But, remember that we all lose out
If we forget to give.

~~ Days of Wine and Roses ~~

The days of wine and roses,
Suddenly have gone,
The broken hearts of lovers,
Have suddenly gone wrong.
We have lost our faith in happiness,
Lost our faith in love,
We have lost their faith in heaven,
And in the Lord above.

Death and hate is everywhere,
Everywhere we look,
We train our kids to murder,
Just like the dooms-day book.
With guns and bombs and poisons,
We kill our friends next door,
Until one-day we'll realise,
It's hate for-ever more.

But before we let this happen,
We'd best consider this,
Lets stop our kids from hating
Before things go amiss.
Teach them love and happiness
And teach them how to care
Or one-day they'll look for love,
And, there'll be no-body there.

Inner Strength

You have this inner strength you see
That keeps you strong and keeps you free,
It keeps you free for love and caring
For your self and then for sharing.

Then there is your power of love
That fits you snug just like a glove,
Your love it comes from all around
It comes from you without a sound.

Bright your aura that's surrounding
With your halo's shining ring,
You have power in your keeping
And your loves a lasting thing.

Keep your strength that is forever
To your heart your love will see,
Keep you eyes forever searching
When you give your love for free.

In your heart those bells are ringing
When you find a loving thing,
All your strength is over flowing
So let those bells forever ring.
