Bridges and skyscrapers
Neon lights to a setting Sun
A million lives,lost or found
Everybody for everyone
Cars they come and go,
Planes fly,ships flow
Some swear by their coffee
Some bagels and Ginger ale to go
Find yourself in another
Or lose yourself to the Moon
Reading lines you wish to have written
The next season follows soon
The city it’s awake
Seeking and strong
It’s lush in the neighbourhoods
City,find your belong.

Vast, it’s so vast in here
Melt,vaporise,disappear
An unhindered flight
Faultless sight
We hear,a goddess we hear.

If this ocean should have an end
One step farther is my mind’s intent
If this sky should hit a wall
Melt, vaporise, disappear I call.

Free,we are finally free
It’s filled with love
No you and me
The walls they are lifted,there is no end
Swim this infinity,deeper it deepens

Vast, it’s so vast in here.

Strive and strive

Far away are my kin

Glimpses I find of Absolute Truth

My arms and legs are thin

Suppress my hunger,punish my body

Chafed are my heels from walking

Like a mirage,I lose what I find

My father should know me the king

I see no one as I find visions

Of how it all unfolds

I am frail now, on the verge of death

My destiny,flustering and cold

My skin love my bones

And my heart it softly quakes

I am an utter failure now

When an insight awakes.

What ecstasy!What delight!

Wide awake in repose,

Emanating aeonic light!

Godhead pose.

What bliss!What tamed fire!

Penetrating focus Mind,

Slain desire!

Joyous daily Grind!

Heart crimson!Soul supreme!

Cull serpentine attachment,

Arc of life,

Absolute fulfillment!

All embrace!

Flow of prana!

State of Grace,

Nirvana!

The lake’s water reflected the night sky
Silhouette of the tree that met every eye
The twilight bathe every creature
Mother nature Mother nurture

The air tasted like love
And the Moonlit stars they strode
You fall for it like an apple from a tree
Hearts that never broke

It is where we find our sense of rhyme
Nighttime.
As pure to reflect what shines
On our minds

A wise owl sits on the tree
Aiming to be finally free
The night sky it shines on the lake
The lake that’s infinity.

Free me of my shortcomings
For honor is the final truth
Free me of my belongings
For they all belong to you
Take away my fear of death
Cause Life can be more fearful
Lay in rest my final breath
Cause I resolve to you
Take away the pain of all
Cause suffering ain’t the end
Let us know that life is just
So we never do pretend.

The city lights are a pretty sight
It’s simple June and I’m out of might
I see belles and beaus, the balloon clown
The old lady knows it‘s heavy,in this one story town
I was a mindful father to my son
Not anymore,I lay down my gun.

Of the numerous stories on these lands
It’s closing in on me,the water on sands
My eyes they are open but I don’t see nothing
Her lips they touch mine but I don’t feel nothing
I ain’t no quitter,In many I’m one
Not anymore,I lay down my gun.

It’s fragile, and things do change
It is a cliche now that people are strange
I prayed for everyone,God knows I did
I‘d help a blind man, when I did see
I‘d pray for conscience to bless everyone
Not anymore,I lay down my gun.

It was a man he had killed
A certain foe, fighter Joe
Battlefield.

He belonged to the other side
Picture of wife and girl at his stride
Fierce as an arrow, had left his bow
It was a man he had killed.

Us and them
Legions of men
Ought to do what is right
‘Death before dishonour’
Hour that tests what we stand for
Conscientious to fight.
It was a man he had killed.

Now the image won’t leave his mind
Time flies in plaintive roving
There is a price you pay, he cried.
But the image don’t leave his mind
Tried to forgive,Tried to forget
He tried.
But the image…

Sit down thinking the rights and wrongs of war
If we found romance in torn limbs and claws
Should human nature find solace in peace?
Fight but we must,right what our mind sees?

Sunshine
Dont you leave us no more
Sunshine
Perennial as the soul

It’s all getting clearer
Breathe life to the bearer
The creek it is glutting through the woods
The robin sings in exaltation moods

Sunshine
Warm embrace to our worlds
Sunshine
Hard on ice on our hearts

It is time for us to read
What tenebrosity didn’t reveal
Azure skies and green waters
Densest forests and human quarters

Sunshine
Heal, influence and grow
Sunshine
Hello.

A charm in our yesterdays keeps us moving
Green was the soul, Free was the living
Wild as our nature, Unknown curvature
Joy in our beings,sedulously nurture

A faith in our tomorrow keeps us going
Life is beauty unbounded in our beings
The unwanted parts of self chip and fall
We find ourselves higher than heavens and all

We are here and now
Wow!
We find ourselves present in our most appropriate homes
We are nowhere else but never alone.
