The Heart’s Open Door

When the crickets sing their ballad,

And the stars come fill the sky,

It can set a man’s heart soaring,

And never wondering why,

Because the mysteries of the mind,

Are fully known to the heart,

When passion joins these two as one,

Magic gets its start.

The clouds of doubt fall away,

When you look at me,

Without a word between us said,

Our hearts are set free,

A moment and a lifetime,

Become one and the same,

Time stops and forever comes,

Like a gentle summer rain.

From the streams down to the ocean,

Through the air up to the sky,

Falling down like life rain,

Or the teardrops from my eyes,

The energy of love,

Just comes around again,

Through the heart’s open door,

The secret of God’s plan.

Tears will come as they must,

Which is just life’s way,

To use our pain and sorrows,

For strength another day,

To lift another life up,

That is met along the way,

For God did not leave us,

To struggle on our own,

Every smile we see does say,

We were never left alone.

On this night together,

Beneath the same old stars,

There is never space between us,

You are never truly far,

And if faith is just the knowledge,

Of things we can not see,

Just shut your eyes and see inside,

Yours I will always be.

From the streams down to the ocean,

Through the air up to the sky,

Falling down like life rain,

Or the teardrops from my eyes,

The energy of love,

Just comes around again,

Through the heart’s open door,

The secret of God’s plan.

The Cost of Joy

 The scope of love is endless, 

 As is the human heart.

 There can be no true ending, 

 When one cannot find the start. 

 Yet free will is present, 

 Which makes love require a choice.

 No heart can be conquered,

 When the actions match the voice. 

  There is a key to happiness,
 No secret to employ.
Investing into other hearts,
 Is the cost of joy. 

 Joy is not entitled, 

 There are decisions and hard work. 

 The sweat of focused effort, 

 Behind every smile lurks.

 Because happiness can’t happen, 

 Unless it is desired. 

 For happiness is fueled, 

 From the heat of passion’s fire. 

  There is a key to happiness,
 No secret to employ.
Investing into other hearts,
 Is the cost of joy. 

 This is not a condition, 

 This is a way of life. 

 This is the bond of fire, 

 Between a man and wife.

 This is the gentle healing, 

 That cures each hurt and pain. 

 This is the way of life, 

 Which never leaves one the same. 

  There is a key to happiness,
 No secret to employ.
Investing into other hearts,
 Is the cost of joy.

 The path bears all the imprints, 

 Of legendary hearts. 

 All the nameless and the named, 

 To whom love did impart. 

 The meaning and the joys, 

 Of the endless song of living,

 The great effort towards this joy, 

Is to never stop giving.

  There is a key to happiness,
 No secret to employ.
Investing into other hearts,
 Is the cost of joy. 

Song of Silence

 Imagine a silence, 

 No waves of distraction, 

 Where colors become music, 

 Images become thought, 

 Thought becomes reality, 

 Forged by fires of inspiration, 

 Adding to the picture,

 Seen by other souls, 

 As they look upon reality, 

 With vision of the heart.

This forms the tapestry,
Where one life affects many,
Sepearate journeys intertwine,
Magic comes thorough courage,
 For no challenge is unshared,
  A hand will reach through the darkness,
 To guide the weary traveler,
 Who does not see the trail,
 Though he hears the silent song,
 Upon the winds of faith.

  The eyes may see new lands,
While the senses taste new joys,
 Broadening the mind,
 The only the heart can truly see,
 Beyond the chatters of distraction,
 The mystery of life,
 Shows in clues behind the eyes,
And markings on the stones,
Along with wonders in the sky,
Which words could never share.

When a dog is looking peacefully
Up into your eyes,
How much does he feel,
Of what most will never see?
It is upon this silent river,
Which souls forever sail,
Where souls impart their image,
Upon the hearts of all they meet,
Pushing back the boundaries,
Of Eternity.

Celebration

What is life?
 The sweet undefinable,
 Energy of love,
 Measured in breath.
 Souls upon a tapestry,
 Like clouds in the sky,
 With lightning between them,
 No beginning or end.

A door may open,
 A loved one steps through,
 When the door is closed,
 Becomes hidden from sight.
 Yet through vision of the heart,
 We can see that he is well,
 With joy in the garden,
 Standing in the light.

 The pain of our loss,
 Is from the tether of love,
 Tied to our hearts,
 From a soul unseen.
 Recognizing this truth,
 Is the proof of life eternal,
 Transforming our pain,
 To peace most serene.

 All of his words,
 All of the kindness,
 All of the actions,
  In us cause creation.
 Shining through our hearts,
 Into other lives,
 So that the magic continues,
Is cause for celebration.

Chemistry

.

Upon our Anniversary, for you.


Magic is a simple thing,
  Wonders from combining flavors,
 Rain clouds from combining elements
  Love from combining hearts.
 This is simply chemistry,
 Bringing life rains from the sky,
 Bringing food from the earth,
 Bringing meaning to my heart.

 Life began to have meaning,
 When your heart joined with mine,
 With your hand in my hand,
 Your laughter filling my soul.

 Knowing what to say,
 Your words bring inspiration,
 Your touch a sweet sensation,
 Your eyes light up my soul.

 Always by my side
 In you forever young,
 Our song daily sung,
 For music never ends.

 Each lifetime is a moment,
 Each moment never ends,
 And when two lives become one,
 All boundaries disappear.

 We are surrounded by life stories,
 In the continuum of time,
 Chemistry of fire between us,
As the stars look down in wonder.

Ride The Wind

In the wild and the wind,

The sky has no boundaries,

A reflection of imagination,

Open and unlimited,

Painted by the rolling hills,

Thoughts separated by oceans,

Rearranged by storms of doubt,

And pierced with the sunlight of faith.

  Among the creatures of the earth,
 This truth is well known,
 They have no words to express,
 What cannot be expressed in words,
 Felt  beneath the wings below the clouds,
 Amidst the wonderous reefs of the oceans,
 Or within the clefts of the mountains,
 From which vision has no limits,
 And what cannot be expressed in words,
Is clearly seen through the eyes.

 Hear the heart is the only guide, 

 To fly free without restriction, 

 To swim deep without dimensions, 

 To know what words cannot speak of, 

 A song heard in the voice of the spirit, 

 Where feeling is the wisdom of truth, 

 Faith becomes the energy of life, 

 Souls join as one within the song, 

 For it is with your hand in mine, 

That I ride upon the wind.

Hall of Lights

 In the hall of lights, 

 Our souls convene, 

 Hearts collide in color, 

 Colors are the children of light, 

  A song of dance for the eyes, 

 Painted on the world by the heart, 

 Painted on each heart by others. 

 Words scratch the surface, 

 The deepest meaning is wordless,

 For the heart sings loud in silence,  

 In cultures on the river of time, 

 In unions where two souls become one, 

 For magic is a realm with no bounds, 

  Opened by the key of the heart. 

The luster of diamonds and gold, 

 Just symbols in the earth of treasure, 

 The warmth of gold  just a shadow, 

 Of the heat transferred between hearts, 

 The brilliance of diamonds just symbols, 

 Of light from each soul in the dark,

Shining against the backdrop of forever.

 In the ocean of life, 

 We are sailors on a journey, 

 Our differences made one by the ship, 

Different roles keep the ship on course,

Storms rearranging the sky,

Our hearts keep our hands strong,

On our course to the Promised Land.
