shades into shades she weeps
tears which the darkness keeps
til through longest night we sweep
awakening bones of the earth from sleep

Thunder Birds approach on the horizon...
just before the rain -
four-legged's tapping and banging on this old house
and its skeletal windowpanes...
rain dancing across the tin roof
barely touching the gutter,
the thunder growls,
and south winds howl...
earth, bones and walls begin to shudder.
The Owl perched above the loft sits frozen..
yet always keeping his even and steady scowl.
The Ancient Ones spoke of these harbingers...
These Thunder Birds,
and how they would foretell of the Storms to come,
They come now...
in my dreams...
in my Vision..
before the thunder clouds,
in a crash...
in a whisper.
The clear reflection in this still pool
mirrors my perceptions now...
as before...
but soon reflections obscured,
Choked by the red clay that swirls within its depths.
My friend, the dark bird...
lost in the ever turbulent streams above the clouds,
will soon find its roost...
...and the Grandfather will bring us the Holy Light,
born from the heart of the eastern mountains.

Gregory Sexton

we laughed, we fought, we made up
that's what we did and more
we learned many a things, did we not?
we discovered so much about this world

we drank our tears, we swallowed our pride
oh what a journey, we dug into the past
one glitz and it vanished, our focus got distracted
now we are separated, our friendship ended

but such is life, mysterious as the pyramids
we might have a little knowledge of what was and ifs
but the truth is, we're so weak and flawed
in our quest we'd never succeed

I am thinking, what a waste of my efforts and my hopes
if only words don't hurt, I'd be a glorious walk
tonight I might dream, it's all an illusion
might as well be for I am ready for the new morn

but what if....that's only a question

Not planned
Simply happened
Unexpected
But felt
Continued on
Surprising
But growing

Relationship?
YES
Love?
YES

WONDERFUL!

Two clocks keeping separate times
One I hear everyday
The other I can’t hear its too far away
And how would I know so much
If it wasn’t for knowing you

I can only dream the same way
Perhaps having lost my way
I journey lonely in my dreams
Where distance doesn’t mean
We will always be far away

In both our dreams are awoken
The words that are left unspoken
That distance measured in miles
No matter will still create smiles
This bond remains unbroken

And only when chance is taken
And out of our dreams awaken
The two clocks will synchronize
Our dreams will then materialize
For all time is in the making

Rejoice being loved and adored
Be gentle with each other
Seek and you shall find answers
Slow down from the busy race
Distractions coming everywhere
Find some shelter and rest
Listen when you are calm and quiet
Only you can create lasting peace
Not by some half-baked plans
True wisdom accepts tranquility
Nobody is more deserving than you
Time may be either lost or found
Like love either hidden or exposed
Being lost in time is natures gift
Being lost in love is being found
Make what cannot be seen felt
Make what cannot be understood
Known to others who cannot feel
Love is like finding a lost coin

I traverse the path, groping in darkness,
In search of salvation;
I lose my way now and then;
My head bumps against the stony walls;
I return to the prison
Where all sense is lost.

I want sunlight and the open sky,
I want the touch of affection of the wind,
I want to travel from galaxy to galaxy,
But I lose my way and am compelled
To return to my dark cell of vanity.

So the beauty of the life remains unseen,
The sky remains unknown,
The sunligh and the smell of the wind
Remain beyond reach,
I am sorrounded by endless darkness
Of futile vanity.

And crabs
out on the flats
gazing, dipping, flittering under the gathering stars
water coils
laughter from the shore

I am one alone
Drifting in the breeze
Going wherever I please
A rising sun beshone
On wings make me soar
Lighter than before
Lifting each hollow bone
Arisen from the grave
Escaping each gravity wave
Such monotony drones
Far, far below as it grows
Artificial light that glows
Such a stone once thrown
Nevermore to return
Exactly where I was born
All my origins unknown
I am one alone

Serene is the heart that yearns not for reward,
Divine is the soul dedicated to the service of mankind,
Music is sweetest when it comes from the depth of the heart,
And tears the gloom of the mind apart,
And diffuses the ecstasy that permeates heaven and earth;
So let us sing, let us all sing in holy mirth.
