The Sheltering Tree
Battle life’s storms to face or to flee
The path revealed ‘neath the sheltering tree
Together we conquer tempest on our knees
Learn to stride in the wind supported and freeWorries and troubles shared and foreseen
Burdens lightened ‘neath the sheltering tree
Underwritten problems lose their might
Darkness defeated together through the nightAround the table enduring friends we find
Seasoned companions worlds intertwined
Conversations flows our masks set free
Friendship thrives ‘neath their sheltering treeSpeaking with passion they don’t have to agree
Never offended ‘neath the sheltering tree
They hold up a mirror showing your heart
Better than any poet or any work of artNo need to explain no apologies to please
Judgment absent ‘neath the sheltering tree
They’re all we have as we strive
Our only hope to see in the afterlifeAround the table enduring friends we find
Seasoned companions worlds intertwined
Conversations flows our masks set free
Friendship thrives ‘neath their sheltering treeThere is no duty no reason or decree
No claims of necessity ‘neath the sheltering tree
With no apparent value yet they’re vital
They bring everything a reason for survivalAround the table enduring friends we find
Seasoned companions worlds intertwined
Conversations flows our masks set free
Friendship thrives ‘neath their sheltering treeSheltering tree

The Voice
Maybe inside there’s a trace of divine
Hidden whispers the words they call me
Her code to attract bleeds riddle with fact
The secrets she keeps they call meAnd I hear as I read the verbs from my dreams
Their intent to guide me towards her
When she speaks from the heart the seas they will part
And the voice will call me towards her
And the voice will call me towards herMetaphors meanings obscuring teasing
Timbre translates visions narrateAnd the rasp that I hear inciting me near
Is her grace that draws me towards her
As she waits in her bed with the words in her head
The voice will call me towards her
The voice will call me towards herSyllables released alluring relief
Adjectives charming beguiling calmingI’ve dreamt this moment so many times
Heard your script poems and rhymes
Seen your views made them mine
Found your soul your heart your mindThe voice will call me towards her

Take Me Over
Take me over, darkening despair
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, mourning prayer
Take me home, anywhereLead me from despair
Take me over, wounding care
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, bleeding prayer
Take me home, anywhereLead me to your care
Take me over, suffering unfair
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, weeping prayer
Take me home, anywhereLead me from unfair
Take me over, shaken scared
Take me hold me, there
Take me over, frightened prayer
Take me home, anywhereLead me from the scared
Take me over, being there
Take me home, anywhere -
Sing
Your courage isn’t a roar
It’s a quiet voice saying much more
As the day fades to an end
It whispers ‘tomorrow I’ll try again’In those days of disregard
With no song in your heart
It’s a strength to look within
Find a voice dig deep and singAnd sing
It’s not your hair it’s not your skin
It’s your souls voice hidden withinIt cannot kill love or shatter dreams
Nor conquer the spirit with its cursed schemes
It can’t break your will or reduce to your knees
It doesn’t define you the dividing diseaseIn the storms rage and pain
Learn it’s rhythm dance in the rain
Find your light shine it bright
War the dark with all your mightIn those times endeavor needs
Share your fears worries freed
Friends give heart beat the way
They comfort tears in cadence playAnd Play
It’s not your hair it’s not your skin
It’s your souls voice hidden withinIt cannot kill love or shatter dreams
Nor conquer the spirit with its cursed schemes
It can’t break your will or reduce to your knees
It doesn’t define you the dividing diseaseTomorrow I’ll try again
Tomorrow I’ll try again

Signs
Life offers signs, whispers in our minds
A gentle voice, true and kindWithin the words, our wisdom and heart
Navigates our choices, guiding every part
Secrets of who to love, whom to hold dear
Those to set free, and those to draw nearLife offers signs, windows to our minds
A hidden sight, subtle yet defined
Revealing what’s true, and what to pursue
Illuminates the path, your souls point of viewSo embrace the call, be bold and true
Surrender to the voice, you always knew
Listen closely, to the warning chimes
And the dreams that weave, there enchanting, rhymesDon’t be stubborn, face the moment
Whether adversaries, or an exponent
Chase your desires, chose your way
It’s time to follow, not time to strayRecognize the truth, when the moments right
Find the courage within, follow your light
Embrace your choices, unbound and pure
Trust your instincts, let the signs endureSo embrace the call, be bold and true
Surrender to the voice, you always knew
Listen closely, to the warning chimes
And the dreams that weave, there enchanting, rhymesLife offers signs, whispers in our minds
Surrender to the voice, true, and kind -
Eternal
There’s something amiss
A splinter out of sight
The persistent unease
That the worlds not rightAll those reminders
Stirring thoughts of you
Echoes of changes
A recurring deja vuDreams twist and turn
Only the enduring last
Brighter days slip away
Lost to the pastA tangle of sadness
Entwined in fear’s grip
Erased from memories
The hearts still eclipsedI’m not a concept, you need to survive
Nor will I complete you, or take you alive
I’m just a fusion, a crazy combined
Seeking my solace, my own peace of, mindHappiness discovered, now we’re realigned
All pains forgotten, loves gaze now blind
The Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resignedAdrift in uncertainty,
So lost and so scared
It’s though I’m fading,
In the shadows of despairIt just wasn’t our time
The reason we couldn’t be
Is there another tide
A chance for you and meHappiness discovered, now we’re realigned
All pains forgotten, loves gaze now blind
The Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resignedThe Eternal clarity, of a pristine mind
Every desire acknowledged, every plea, resignedI’m just a fusion, a crazy combined
Seeking my solace, my own peace of, mind -
She Plays
She plays in colour, with an open heart
Perfectly measured, her rubato startShe plays in harmony, lost in the aria
No strings attached, her key to euphoriaShe plays in vibrance, the record resonates
Echoes of lessons, her melodies createShe plays in the flame, a pitch to attract
Finding her cadence, her songs scaled backShe plays in the heavens, content with refrain
Asking for nothing, her life can’t sustainShe plays in the movement, intonation implies
Renaissance bars, her bridges of sighsAnd she plays, she plays, and she plays
She plays for us all, and to escape thereof
With broken chains, and nothing but love -
