Death

There is something in the air tonight
Or was it there before and I failed to see
There is a silent music playing
Though I can't hear, I feel the vibration
How could I have missed it, how can that be?

I see the trees sway side to side to the silent music
I try hard to hear the sweet tune
I ask Mother Nature to let me in on the secret
She tells me its hidden in the darkness of space
Harder to decipher than the most ancient rune

Why should it be hidden, I ask
Ask The Lord, she softly answers
I put up my hands in frustration
Why should this be such a mystery
Am I not known to you, or am I one of the strangers?

The strangers are those who are left in the dark
They are never to step into the light
They are blind though they are able to see
Such a difficult burden to bear
Only The Lord can curse them with such a plight

I demand The Lord to let me in
He refuses to answer my plea
I try to sneak past his mighty barrier
He laughs at my amateurish attempt
He says, My son, you're already free

What is it you wish to see
For seeing will only make you blind
What is the you wish to hear
For what you hear may be only for your own ears
Not to be shared with the rest of your kind

I say, I do not seek anything to be shared with others
Only do I want it for my own satisfaction
I know this is a sign of my selfishness
But, you created me so, a mortal man who thinks of self
Swift to act, not thinking of your reaction

I feel a cool touch on my neck
I turn around and see nothing there
Fear sets into the deepest corners of my heart
Have I displeased The Lord thorough my questioning
Will he set Death to follow me with his dark glare

I suddenly realize the night has gone to sleep
The day was glad to come sprinting this way
The shadows under my eyes were left as a sign
A sign of what I know has been no nightmare
Only too real, I am only a pawn in The Lord's play

I step into the sunlight and feel the kiss of the sun
Then I feel the air tickle me with her breath
I feel the cool tears of the clouds and the roar of thunder
I take off on a run
I try to fly away from Death

I am no bird, wings are not a part of me
The fear has made me a fool
Why did I dare to question The One who knows best
Have I stepped out of his mercy
I plead to you Lord, Don't be so cruel

Foolish you are my little one
Answers the Lord sternly, but softly
You knew not what you asked for
Through Death you'll find your answers
I give you what you want, so face him boldly

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...
