I’M INVISIBLE

I’m invisible to others it seems
Drifting along as though in a dream
A dream where others can’t see me
But I can see them through the screen

Wandering about here and there
No one seeing me or seeming to care
Wondering if there is more to this in life
Like a puzzle piece not fitting quite right

Feeling at times like the Unicorn that missed the Ark
Never finding that missing puzzle part
Trying to fit in but not being heard
Eventually giving up and not saying a word

My voice is in a frequency no one can hear
Along with my body in a time warped mirror
So putting my Invisible Cloak on for another day
Going out in the world to try to find my way

I whisper into the silence to see if anyone is there
While the moon casts a calm reflection I wonder what I will hear
The voices of timid strangers roaming through the night
Invited by the darkness convincing them that its alright
And not to fear the sleeping giants nor their deep aphotic dreams
Embrace your somber phantoms they will help you find the light you seek
Then I stared far beyond the horizon into the great abyss of emptiness
At that moment all of my hell stood still and I know why I exist
Although my body is bound by gravity my soul is a billion light years away
Im still no closer to forever, but heaven is on my way

Here we are again on the date site
Maybe we will find our mate tonight
Excitement and anticipation building
We flip through profiles and find it discouraging

You want the woman who is the perfect weight
She has to be perfect to be your mate
Love to travel, camp, snuggle and sexy kisser
And oh she has to be a great fisher

It’s enough to make a girl feel discouraged and a failure
To go on looking everyday takes more and more courage
All she wants is for someone to love her as she is
Not a super model with lipstick that can’t be kissed

So be careful guys for what you ask for
Less maybe best instead of more and more
Yes the chemistry must be there
But we are not all blondes and perfect – so be fair

Do you want someone whose hair cannot be messed
Or someone who loves you and thinks you’re the best
Someone who ends up a nightmare instead of a dream
Or a best friend who could help and play on your team

Another night and again we girls look with hope in our heart
That the one guy right for us will see how wonderful we are
That he will look for the true person behind the face
Not just all sugar, spice and lace

My Love where have you gone
You have left me all alone
I’ve waited year after year
Waiting and waiting to hear

Are you far over the ocean and seas
Where gulls swiftly fly merrily
Or at the peak of a mountain top
Where the clouds fly by non-stop

My heart wishes to hear from you
It craves to see only one view
For it sees only with feelings
Desiring for the love that is healing

My dear where are you now
My love for you abounds
Wherever you are would be home
Please no longer leave me alone

visions through misty streams of fog
sometimes espied then in a blink gone
what was it that briefly appeared
was it even ever really there?

a shifting shape a puzzling glimpse
do my eyes deceive me as I peer
trying to see if its real or not
my eyes oft do perceive an illusion

for such creatures can't really exist
they are the things of legends
yet my soul says they are really there
which should I believe I ask myself?

of all the things that come to us
in dreams or awake are they just hocus pocus

Drifting between Heaven and Earth
Images come of the first rebirth
Floating in serenity with eyes closed
Hanging on a sleep cliff slightly poised

Pictures passing through the mind
Of landscaped horizons so sublime
Mountains and forest in shades of gray
Shift and change scenes like in a play

Suddenly a forest of silhouetted black trees
Gradually disappearing all but one that I could see
One big familiar tree made my heart soar
The shaped leaves and branches I’d seen before

The Tree of Life appeared before my closed eyes
Transforming into another shape against the sky
One by one the branches faded slowly away
Leaving a glowing Cross as the only part to stay

Like a curtain in a play lowering it faded away
Separating consciousness from Heavens stage
Slowly drifting back to the earthly realm of life
Trying to absorb what had seen with closed eyes

The Tree of Life whose fruit imparts eternal life
Was the one fruit by God to man was denied
By partaking of the fruit man became mortal
Entrance to Eternity became a closed portal

The Cross brought us mercy and grace from this fall
For Christ became the new Tree of life for us all
Partaking of the fruit is no longer forbidden
For He paved a way for us to Eternal Heaven

Casting a falling shadow over every thought I can recollect
Sailing beyond the horizons far from the dreams I yet neglect
Then I will say goodbye to everything that I've left behind
They were once a part of me until I sneezed those apples from my eyes
And I say hello to the stinging wasp and spiders inside my head
Consuming the very heart of me crawling from my flesh
Then I inhale the darkness and I disappear into ecliptic space
Admiring it of its passion for wanting to lay me down to waste
As it resonates through my insides filling up my lungs
Changing the topography of the world I once thought of
As the land of milk and honey is nothing but a sphere of lies
I was wrong to believe that my faith could ever change this dismal life
Heaven is no closer to me although it shines real bright from hell
As I turn the pages of my existence I wonder what the next numbered page will tell
Lord has my heart become so hardened and desensitized to every touch
Have my eyes become so darkened that I will never see Your love
Yet hope in finding You still holds my interest, but in time will that too be erased
A stranger in a strange land searching for a light without a face

Lost and trying to find my way
In a daze not knowing what day
Nothing making sense anymore
Desperately seeking the right door

But every place I turn is the wrong way
Not trusting and not easily persuade
Not knowing what evil awaits ahead
Must use my heart instead of my head

Hunger and thirst a constant companion
Life stretching out before me like a deep canyon
Then suddenly I knew and picked the right door
For behind I knew I would find my Lord

Not lost - my thirst quenched and hunger fed
No longer lost but using my heart - not my head

Can do!!
As I arise to face a new day
The governments in foul play.
Taxation is a total drain
Crime is a money gain
Pollution clouds my, cell brain
Healthcare is a crying shame
Love is a constant pain
Hatred may never end.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to
We can't get away from it
Life is basically, what it is
I can only pursue, my own
Happiness.

Blaming, fighting, fear & pain.
We all know it, there's nothing to gain.
No sense in crying establishment blues
Hunger, disease, poverty, love, hate nothing new.
It only feeds the anger, we fuel
It's human nature, win or lose
Chose not to be like them
Love unconditionally that's your tool.

You ask me what I can do,
I measure life as you do to.
There's only so much, one can do.
When time to give,
gift with a open heart.
A peaceful demeanor,
is a pure start....

With the determination of an eagle I stand upon the highest cliff
Feeling the wind beneath my wings as I await for thermal lift
My eyes are focussed on the world below, a gentle breeze against my face
As the morning sun consumes the dark I claim this day and all its grace
At the speed of light I freely fall miles above the earth
With my faith flying above the clouds and like a jet my engines burst
My spirit breaks the barriers of sound over shadowed decades of pain
Above empires of decadence I reign through greener fields and grassy plains
Beneath the dirt the coals of hell are rising to burn me from the sky
I may never leave this world behind, but I'm still learning how to fly
