Never Give In

You arrived to be alive

And live a life that conquers strife

To make a mark before you depart

create legacy from your destiny

But sometime you feel like you can't endure, 

Like you're insignificant, you're insecure

But passing thoughts aren't always real

Sometimes they come to rob and steal

They confuse the mind and leave you torn

But through conflict, see, opportunity's born

So honor yourself and the spirit within

 Strive to be your best and never give in

The Mirror

The mirror is a great tool

for when I'm acting like a fool

And judging someone else's journey

the reflections says that I should learn me

It teaches comfort in my skin

and where the agitation begins

 The image reflected does its part

To reveal the heaviness of my heart

Or when my minds the enemy

I see the physiognomy

That shapes my face and creates the mood

You know that funky ass attitude 

which does me more harm than good

that before I never understood

Yes, meditation, when its deep

Becomes the the mirror of which I speak

I Left My Cell Phone Home, Today

I left my cell phone at home, today

and after 10 min. of  tripping

I thought, "Hey!"

The stars didn't fall from the sky to the earth

Not checking it during a conversation didn't decrease my worth

I didn't feel lonely walking down the street

I wasn't out of touch cause I couldn't send a tweet

I notice my surrounding in great detail
My pocket wasn't vibrating every 5 min. with an email

I actually said, "thank you" when a lady held a door
I didn't ignore the cashier as she rang me up at the store

I daydreamed and relaxed as I drank tea
I was perfectly alright just hanging out with me

I noticed all this and more
and I just have to say

It's all because
I left my cell phone home, today

Lets Get Together

(adapted from Tim Clark's "The Force Of Sound")

Lets get together and create a groove

invite some folks over and they can move

To rhythm that's shared, in the air

under our feet, and everywhere

Created in our hearts to stimulates minds
Sounds of passion moving in time

and space, and measures and notes
from keys

The universal language from sea,
to sea

Yeah, lets get together and create a
groove

The bands ready
What about you?

Rain, Rain Go Away

Rain pouring down

 all

around

 me

soaking into my skin

watering the earth 

and then

helping the 

flower's

grow

 the rivers

and lakes flow

into the ocean

where the motion

entertains us by 

land or sea

Rain fall free

As we dance with you

all around

As we make love

 to your rhythmic

sounds

As you continue to

cleanse mother earth

I hope some day we're realize your worth

and how you compliment

  sunny days

Yet we curse you

and selfishly say

Rain, rain go away

But since you help

me sleep, tonight,

for a while, 

you may

 stay

Have A Great Life

Every breath becomes seconds
on the clock

Seconds add up to
minutes with
every tick and tock

The minutes become
hours that
we use to strive

to reach the goals
that fill
 the days of our lives

The days are absorbed
by weeks that go by
so fast

And by the time we
look up
months have passed

Months create years
where wisdom is born

Years to decades
and things may become worn

Not worn out but worn well
if we do it just right

So make the most of your 
time and have a great 
life

Life Is Precious

When we can accept the cloudy skies

And stop judging the splinter in others eyes

We will be open to find 

The beauty of life in time

and space 

on this place

We call Mother Earth

Yes, open to the majesty and worth

of every precious breath

The gifts we can receive before our death

We would see the forest beyond the trees

The droplets of rain that created all the seas

And know all of these

and more

are manifesting before

our eyes

in these lives

That are flying by

but we wouldn't fret or cry

We would just live

(really live)

before we die
