Dreams

Dreams of an individual
Can break his soul
If he is unable
To understand them

The words that he hears
The colors that he sees
Are filled with mystery
Because he is unable to perceive

He searches his mind
The unconscious world
There are too many sides
Vast deserts far and wide

Why does he search?
What is the need?
Is it an infatuation?
Or, is it greed?

A glutton for knowledge
Knowledge of the unknown
Knowledge found through dreams
But, with open eyes, soon forgotten

Why is it so?
Shouldn't he see?
The words and sounds
That we never perceive

The Lord says, "No!
Don't look for such things,
For if you see it
You won't be among the living."

He says, "I still want to see,
For I am blind with open eyes,
But I will be awake
Dreaming with my eyes closed."

The Lord allows him to live the dream
Seeing the heavenly colors
Hearing the blissful music
Never having to open his eyes

"Are you satisfied?" asks the Lord
"Yes!" the man answers
"But, please let me sleep."
"Don't cast me out of this eternal Dream."

Sing To Me

I am in misery I want you to sing to me In your songs I find ecstasy Your voice I hear in my dreams Like the morning birds Singing in harmony You give me bliss With your melodies Your every motion beckons me When your lips move, I can't breathe Its your presence that I always feel Like the moon, your face glows on me I'll give you everything you seek Just don't stop singing to me I will die of the pain I'll feel If you ever let go of me Your words to me are heavenly With you lies my destiny Tell me this is not a dream Promise me you'll never leave Don't talk to me about reality I find peace in fantasy Where the world is staged aesthetically Where we all live blissfully Where there's no death, no misery Where we all live peacefully Where there is no insanity Where the world is void of calamities Tell me you'll always sing for me So that I can find that land of dreams No more living in fantasy From dreams we'll create reality Give me that opportunity ...

Time

Years have passed away And I await the coming days The years were only a few days ago The next days will only be a few hours away I remember those hours of yesterday When I was young and carefree Sometimes I have to stop and wonder Where my next hours will take me People have come and gone Leaving memories to last a lifetime some have left a hole in my heart Others have left a light that will forever shine If time stood still, what would I see? If I could go back, what would I do differently? If I could change the future, where would I be? In this existence that we call life, these thoughts lead to insanity. What is insanity? Is it being a prisoner from the grasps of normality? Is it an escape from reality? Maybe it's escapism from leading a life of mediocrity No matter how I try to justify life, time will keep passing by Every minute Man enters this world, piercing us with His birth cry His life will be less than a speck of sand, considering the vastnes...

Divinity in Motion

Grass waving with the summer breeze Trees dancing with the wind Ocean waves hitting the rocks You wouldn't tell them to stop because Its divinity in motion A kiss from your mother Even one from your lover You would not want to miss Because its bliss Its divinity in motion The way a woman's hips sway as she walks The way her lips move as she talks The way she nurses her child Its all with a divine composure and smile Its divinity in motion Babies being born through a couple's love Growing up with the help of The One above Facing hurdles and breaking barriers Its the same qualities we all share Its divinity in motion When children grow Their aspirations show That their potentials are great The goals they set Its divinity in motion When the fighters fight When the singers sing When the fire lights When the bells ring Its divinity in motion Dancers dancing to the beat Soldiers marching through the street Swimmers swinging their feet When they all meet Its divinity in motion Whe...
