The Patient Heart

 In  the ocean of spirits, 

 We found a heart. 

 In the sea of life, 

  We found a soul. 

 Following the wind, 

 We followed the calling. 

 For only when exploring, 

 Can you find home. 

 In speaking of science, 

 In speaking of living, 

 In speaking of loving, 

 We spoke the truth. 

 In the bonds of laughter, 

 In the bonds of friendship, 

  In the bonds of faith, 

 Finding freedom of youth. 

 Time took a backseat, 

 Because Earth is the stage, 

 Where we might add, 

 Good things to Heaven.

 For each soul is endless, 

 But the heart sees forever, 

 Then the moment stood still, 

 For time is illusion. 

 We watched as she listened, 

 We listened as she spoke,

 Each chance to gain more, 

 Being nothing but joy, 

 What is to long for, 

 What is to live for, 

What is to love for,

 We are faith is employed.

 Kindred spirits,

 Who found soulmates, 

 From each other, 

 Will not depart, 

 It all begins, 

 From choosing joy, 

 This is the wisdom, 

 Of the patient heart. 

The Light of the Eye

In the light of the eye,

Lies the mystery of the soul,

Volumes of word without voice,

Feelings without words,

Pictures without canvas,

Paint an image of the soul.

In the light of the eye,

Lies the beauty of a woman,

The butterfly dance of emotion,

Strength which never fails a family,

A heart that only will can fail,

Within a delicate vessel.

In the light of the eye,

Is found the truths of a man,

His confidence will burn forth,

With the strength of his faith,

As his heart lifts other lives,

Above value of his own.

In the light of the eye,

You can know the traveler of time,

A soul across the ages,

From whom nothing is hidden,

He knows the eyes are weak,

And sees forth with the heart.

In the light of the eye,

Find your faith in God,

Seeing the flame of souls,

Which no human can create,

A fire flowing from Heaven,

Speaking proof of the beyond.

In the light of the eye,

Know the meaning of life,

A song of truth without words,

As your loved ones see through you,

Find your place within the dance,

As your light shines forth.
