~TO BE HUMAN~

HAVE YOU EVER MET SOMEONE AND
TAKEN AN INSTANT LIKING TO THEM?
OR SHAKEN HANDS WITH A PERSON AND
HAD FEELINGS OF MISTRUST?
THIS IS YOUR INTUITION IT COMES FROM
DEEP WITHIN, WE ALL HAVE THIS AMAZING ABILITY
SOME CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT, OTHERS CALL IT A
GUT FEELING OR A SIXTH SENSE

IF ONLY PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD WOULD
USE THIS ABILITY TO SEE EACH OTHER,
INSTEAD OF THE COLOUR OF SKIN, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
OR MONITARY STANDING...
I BELIEVE THINGS WOULD CHANGE.
TO SEE EACH AND EVERY HUMAN BEING FOR WHO THEY ARE NOT
WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED TO SEE
AFTER ALL, WE ALL ORIGINATED FROM THE SAME SOURCE.

~THE FORCE~

Can you feel it?
the life force that is all around you,
everything is connected, everything.
Did you know that this life force picks up on
the vibrations that you send out into this amazing world.
It also bounces back those very vibrations to you,
 but many times stronger.
So spew forth your hatred it will return ten fold.
But if you send out vibrations of love, peace and respect towards others
this is what you will receive in return.
so be careful what you think, be careful what you say and only do
to others what you would have done to you.

~MAN~

MAN THE MOST INTELLIGENT BEING ON EARTH THEY SAY
SO WHY DOES HE SEEK TO DESTROY?
MANKIND IS KILLING THE VERY WORLD THAT HE DEPENDS ON TO SURVIVE
POLLUTING, LAKES RIVERS  AND OCEANS AND THE VERY AIR HE BREATHS
HE KILLS OTHERS THAT DO NOT AGREE WITH THE WAY HE THINKS
SLAUGHTERS ANIMALS THAT  HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LIVE ON THIS EARTH IN PEACE
MANY CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MAN CONTINUES ON THIS PATH
THAT HE HAS CHOSEN
WHAT IS GOING TO BE LEFT FOR OUR CHILDREN ?
WHAT WILL THEY FACE  50 YEARS FROM NOW
NOTHING !
 A WORLD OF NOTHING,
 BECAUSE THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT MAY NO LONGER EXIST.

LOOK PAST THE HATRED
AND THE WARS

I WISH FOR LOVE
FEEL THE STRENGTH
FROM ALL AROUND

WISH FOR GOOD TO SURROUND US
WE NEED THIS MESSAGE TO GET THROUGH
NO MORE WARS NO MORE HATRED
LOVE AND PEACE WILL CURE ALL

~DEAR MOTHER NATURE~

DEAR MOTHER NATURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE MAD
YOU HAVE SHOWN US YOUR WRATH SO MANY LIVES LOST IT'S SAD
FROM THE TSUNAMI LAST YEAR TO THE STORMS OF THIS SUMMER
THIS IS A YEAR THAT WE WILL ALL REMEMBER
ALL THE LOST SOULS OF MANY CULTURES AND RACES
LOVED ONES WILL REMEMBER ALL OF THIER LOVING FACES
FROM THOSE LEFT TO SURVIVE WITH ONLY HOPE TO LIVE
AND ALL THAT OPENED THIER HEARTS TO GIVE
YOU HAVE SHOWN US THAT YOU HAVE THE ULTIMATE POWER
TO GIVE AND TO TAKE AT YOUR DESIRE
YOU HAVE NOW SHAKEN AND LEFT MANY DEAD AND HOMELESS
WINTER IS UPON THEM AND IT ALL SEEMS SO HOPELESS
MANY MORE WILL PERISH IN THE SNOW AND THE COLD
WHAT MORE OF THIS STORY IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD
CAN MANKIND START TO CHANGE, AND BEGIN TO CARE
WHETHER WE ARE BREATHING POLLUTED OR FRESH AIR
IT WILL TAKE ALL NATIONS WITH A COMMON CAUSE
TO BRING BACK THE WORLD TO THE STATE SHE WAS
WILL THIS HAPPEN IN OUR LIFETIME, PROBABLY NOT
BUT MANY WILL TRY TO GIVE ALL THAT THEY'VE GOT

~POISON~

POISON, POISON
ARSNIC, NICOTINE, HYDROCHLORIC ACID
TOBACCO'S EFFECT IS TO ALWAYS DESTROY LIFE
CARBON MONOXIDE FROM OUR CARS
INHALED DAILY AT STAGGERING DOSES
POISON ALL AROUND US CAN WE SURVIVE
MOTHER NATURE CHOKING UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR WONDROUS PLANET
GREENHOUSE GASES EFFECTING THE OZONE
POLAR REGIONS MELTING WITH THE WARMING CLIMATE

CAN WE SAVE THE PLANET
HOPE IT'S NOT TOO LATE
CAN WE SAVE OUR FUTURE
POISON
NOW FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN
SAVE IT FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN

~BOX OF SECRETS~


FOR MANY YEARS I KEPT MY SECRETS
WHEN I TOLD  WAS  RIDICULED
MUM AND DAD DIDN'T BELIEVE ME
NOR DID MY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL

I PUT MY SECRETS IN A BOX
ALL THE THINGS I HAD SEEN AND HEARD
HOPING ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE
THAT MY STORIES WOULD  BE TOLD

WHEREVER I WAS THEY WOULD FIND ME
WHISPER THINGS THAT I COULD HEAR
SENSE THIER CLOSENESS RIGHT BEHIND ME
LETTING ME KNOW THEY WERE THERE

NOW TODAY IT IS ACCEPTED
EVEN CALLING IT A GIFT
SENSING OTHERS FROM BEYOND
FINDING PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE
FINDING OTHERS THAT BELIEVE

~AFTER DARKNESS~

AFTER THE DARKNESS,WHEN ALL IS STILL
I THINK OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE ILL
SUCH EMOTIONS FLOOD IN MY BRAIN
LOVE AND HATE,AND NOW THE PAIN
WE LOVED EACH OTHER WITH ALL OUR HEARTS
WE SWORE TOGETHER WE WOULD NEVER PART
YOU KISSED ME SWEETLY AND HELD ME NEAR
YOU WISPERED SOFTLY IN MY EAR

I LOVE YOU BABY ALWAYS BE MINE
FOREVER AND ALWAYS
UNTIL THE END OF TIME
BABY, BABY
CAN YOU HEAR ME
BABY, BABY,
SEE MY TEARS
FOREVER AND ALWAYS
 
AFTER THE DARKNESS YOU CAN HEAR ME CRY
I LOOK UP AT THE STARS AND HAVE TO ASK WHY
YOU WERE SO YOUNG IT'S JUST NOT FAIR
I 'M SO LONELY WITHOUT YOU HERE
AFTER THE DARKNESS WHEN ALL IS STILL
IT COMES OVER ME AND I LOOSE MY WILL
TO CARRY ON FROM DAY TO DAY
I MISS YOU SO MUCH IN EVERY WAY

sending out love

find it in your heart


SALVATION

the foundation of spirit is beyond the light
it can be seen even in the darkness of night
feel it in your heart and see it in your soul
salvation of love is the only goal
angels may appear to you in a moment of distress
the beating heart holds all the truthfulness
remember lies are deceit  and torment is pain
thunder is lightning and snow is rain
merging together and falling apart
the soul separates again from the heart
dearly departed into the skies above
all fear vanishes into final love
prayers may go unheeded or so you think
for what is a chain without a link
smiles are forthcoming to all the sad faces on earth
as time is at hand for the rebirth

By Larry Graves




Stop and Smell the Roses

My journey over the past four years, has been a a roller coaster that I will never want to exit.
Waves of emotions, love, harmony, gratitude, joy.
 A peacefulness that I had not known possible had filled my life.
A life now filled with laughter, smiles, harmony and hugs.
A selection of wonderful new friends who are all like minded on a path with spirit.

Sychronicities now seem to be a daily occurance, but not overlooked and are appreciated deeply.
 Noticing even the simplest of things,
 at other times in my life, I would not have even given a second thought.
As a butterfly lands delicately on a flower right before you,
 displaying it's beauty for your senses to delight.
 Bringing your attention to the smell of the blooms.
 noticing the array of colours set before you.
 As you study the scene you notice
 the sounds of the crickets and sicadeas that fill the air
 A light breeze that ruffles you hair as it passes.
 You reach down to touch the velvety bloom before you
 so soft and delicate, drinking in the amazing aroma.
 No wonder butterflies, insects and birds find them irresistible.

Simple moments like this can lift your spirit to heights that you have never known before.
So stop, smell the roses and take time to appreciate the beauty
 and give thanks to our Mother Earth for her blessings.
