Is Infinity



~

Is infinity

Just a moment of beauty

Within all to see

~

For

~

Beauty lives and dies

In the moment of an eye

Then we sit and cry

~

But

~

Eternity stands

Where infinity expands

In the eye and hand

Waiting for Immortality.

Waiting for Immortality.
~

I was just too late

And you were far too early

Now I sit and paint

The Infinity of Time


Is the reality of time?

A concept of the human mind

Just like the measurement of rhyme

For you create the world you find

Where upon grows the living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

If you could travel back in time

The one thing you would never find

Would be your life with the same old rhyme

But something of a different kind

Where upon grows the living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

Because every moment in time

Of every church bell that chimes

Of every grain of sand so fine

Is a whole universe Divine

At one with the immortal vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

Each opportunity you see

Of endless possibilities

Is because each moment is free

In it's own cosmos that you see

Part of an endless living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

Faith creates it's own reality

And hate it's own depravity

And depression it's own poverty

And love creates it's own beauty

All part of the one living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

In everything you say and do

You create the cosmos anew

With life of all possible forms

Will have a place to be the norm

To be with one the living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

For everything it must be true

Even the early morning dew

Will see the light of it's own dawn

Upon a never ending lawn

That falls upon the living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine

~

For if the cosmos was not so

Nature would not diverse and grow

Distant stars would not burn and glow

Human hearts would not yearn to know

The secret of the living vine

That overflows with mortal wine

~

And the cosmos would not expand

And man would not hold in his hand

A chance to try and understand

That it's within God's mind we stand

Just grapes upon the living vine

And therefore flows the mortal wine.

Such a lonely cloud.




Such a lonely cloud

Gray sunlit, lovely and proud

But only a should

~

Beyond right or wrong

On the breeze like a sad song

Then forever gone

~

But for that moment

All of creation was spent

And all beauty sent

~

So life could expand

Within the eye and the hand

For their infinity and

Eternity stands,

~

It's own centre vowed

Within the light of a cloud

All life is endowed.

To wish upon a star

To wish upon a star
That is so very far
Is not so very mad
Whether happy or sad
In all faith you will find
Something gentle and kind,
Just like the sun and rain
Or even joy and pain.
We were made in the stars
And we have come so far
To look back in the night
On reflection of light
That is part of the whole
Of every living soul.
A never ending flow
That makes the Cosmos glow
With the light of the stars
And the life that is ours.

As the sunsets on a thousand regrets.

As the sunsets
On a thousand regrets
In a veil of golden red
For the things I never said
~
Like tears without a trace
Or a man without a race
My heart begins to pace
Just to look upon her face
~
I never seen her part
Or heard her footsteps in the dark
And I never said good-bye
But I will love her till I die
~
And as the shadows grow
Upon my weary soul
I guess, I will never know
Why I loved her so.
~
In the early morning twilight
When the stars fade out of sight
Before the sun begins its flight
Across the sky so bright.
~
I will say a prayer for you
For the little girl I knew
And I will not be blue
For the day will begin anew.
~
A classical pastel drawing.

Did we recognize the Son

For he, he did come
But did we recognize the Son
In the starving mob
And in the aborted blob
~
In the dying child
And in the mother's cries, wild
In the enemy's face
Or the anemone's grace
~
In the wild flowers
And the wide open bowers.
All life comes about
Out of nature's lack of doubt
~
For the sun does rise
On the ignorant and wise
On the great mountains
And the descending fountains.
~
But will the sunset
On knowledge without regret,
If we never come
To see everything as one.
~
