I’ve Heard Your Song

I’ve heard your song
in the early morning light 
and
in the quiet
evening twilight. 

No song
is so beautiful 
no refrain
so caring, so light 

I know
I’ll always be with you 
when I hear
your lovely song 
in the morning, noon 
or
the evening’s night.

Morning

No morning goes
No morning sees
The end of day or in-between
Success at living
Bringing life
With the sun’s rising from below
To the now emerging morning
Intro.

Easing into day
Sliding towards night
The morning rises
Bringing promise
Of good things to come
With a glorious morning
Sun.

Let The Grass Grow

Let the grass grow tall and fine
The waters flow while ivies climb.

All is well for the sun glows bright
In morning’s wondrous light.

I Know The Difference

I know the difference
Between frozen and tropical land
I know light is not dark
And dark is not light.

I know the difference
Between morning and evening light
The difference is obvious
They are not alike.

But the in-between is hazy
Not easy to read
A conundrum it seems
For not darkness nor light.

Morning Glory Surely Rides

Morning glory surely rides
On the tide of morning rise
Sleep was sound
Resting peacefully all around
Now we raise our presence
To the morning sun
Boldly moving in a direction
That will free us in
The morning glory sun.

Beauty Beautiful

 

Beauty beautiful is what I see
Spread all about, all about of me
The sun it shines, birds fly and
Mighty, fluffy clouds float by.

Yes, there’s beauty in the sky
The forest and even in my uncut lawn
To get up in the morning and see
Beauty, beauty all around of me
It is oh so beauty
Beauty, beautiful profound.

I Drink My Coffee

I drink my coffee
I sip my tea
I struggle in the morning
Just to be me.

Then in the afternoon
It all becomes clear
Salvation from questions
I have no answers to
No answers for
Those I hold dear.

As night settles in
And my heart quietly rests
I see I’ve been tested
And survived with the rest.

Morning is a Gift

Morning is a gift I should never take for granted.

Morning Rises Clear And Bright

Morning rises clear and bright
Dismissing all that plagued the night.

Optimism reigns supreme
Knowing what must be done
Here in the morning sun.

Clouds may hinder passing light
But don’t forget the morning bright.

This is new, fresh and clear
Make it right my morning dear.
