AUSTRALIA DAY
There is a day .. A special day
A day thats ours alone~
A day for all Australians
For our country..Our states .. our home~
A day to think of all the things
That Australia has to give~
All the reasons why Australia
Is the best place on earth to live~
A day for all to remember
The men and women that made each state~
All they are to this very day
The ones that made them great~
There is a day .. A special day
A day thats ours alone~
A special day for all Australians
For our country .. Our states .. Our home~.

  ( To date nobody wanted to sing it .. Still don't )
I wrote this sover long ago of my thought
re how it may all well have been .. Man making
the same mistakes and expecting a different
outcome ..

Back before man actually lived upon this planet
He lived on one much the same as he does now~
He started on it as he did upon this one to
And he eventually destroyed it as only man knows how~
He had forgotten a lot of what he had ever learned
But he remembered greed and other negative emotions~
When he eventually came from destruction to life
To this beautiful planet with all the oceans~
It was back then that the forward thinking people
were those who got to leave before that blast~
They took the ones who thought as they did then
In a bid to help they felt man kind last~
So they then shot this group to planet earth
A planet then in reach so very lush and green~
A planet that thought they could live upon
In a way then that man then had never seen~
Men later in books to be termed then as Adam
Women was then to be termed as Eve its true~
And they first lived in a cleared area upon earth
And all started yet again life as a new~
They called were they landed by the name of Eden
For the fruit was ever so plenty there~
Crystal clear water flowed in babbling brooks
And as well mountain fresh pure was the air~
They'd found that some animal life was mountain height
And they were were savage to say the least~
The ape life then lived in deepest caves
As for them as well not to become a feast~
Man did eventually do the same , moved into caves
In areas they were not threatened by this tallest foe~
And man later killed the apes for meat and fur
And all men then moving into the apes home he'd go~
Man later as usual then fought among man as well
As breeding took up lots of then precious room~
He still had not forgotten ****** greed and hatred
And even then still better living again became the boom~
Living in caves had man eventually change his shape
And eating now in a different way as apes did as well~
And they only came out in the safety of night
To hunt for food and fruit near where they dwell~
Man was back then not the sight then as we now know
Not even before when he came to earth~
But what he'd become due to coming here
Was even then becoming debatable worth~
He had known before he came here
Of God in their special way
But those that worshiped God before
Never left with them upon that day
They knew of God creating all things
As he had done way before our time
But man after all said and done
Often sees other things as being divine
They look back today and call man then the cave man
And from there we now have humans as we know man~
With all their extreme and far out ideas of
How it all was and how here on earth we all began~
Those away back then this time wrote Gods book over time
And even Jesus taught us best he back then could
But since then his book has been rewritten many times
No longer in ancient Hebrew it says what it really should
Man this time here will likely do the same thing again
How I wished in the name of God all I say is so wrong~
And it's written already in nature and in the winds of time
And its as well written in mans own very souls song~
Man generally speaking sorry to say the most destructive thing
That we have upon this God given beautiful earth~
And weighing up against this planets entire values
Man on earth mostly sorry to say has little worth~
But with this planet now having been re stocked again
After another natural natures brush wiping of the slate-
They away back before this time came from ever far away to earth
And to once more began to as man did learn to live and create-
We were only here one feels created by God
But not really in the way here that think and we find-
For his creations would be greater than all we could imagine
And his abilities above our comprehension,our being so divine-
And history they say repeats its self
Well at least they got that true~
Here there are those who love and those that destroy
But mans ways are hereditary back from a planet or two~
History will repeat its self again I feel
As it's done so before often longer than time~
And we feel that if we cant understand it, it doesn't exist
That's why history will do it all again,and in its perfect rhyme~

MAGIC MOMENTS
IT  WAS  GOING  TO  BE  ONE  OF  THOSE  DAYS

Nobody home myself all alone cleaned home
And I hate sport on T V all day long
Was looking for a documentry to watch
Then a knock on door gentle but strong

I opened the door and there you were
Dressed like a real time living dream
Forgot about the documentries right away
Invited you in both big smiles in extreme

You told me all of yours were for day away
I told you same here but thats not all bad
You sat on lounge threw bra away smiling
Thats good news she said happiness not sad

Mind if I take a shower I'd love a wine
I replied I've a few you'd love them too
Came out all steamy and covered in smiles
Dressed in a large towel a shower for you

Think I will enjoy the wine relax back soon
Like kids alone now at home but not alone
Came back she was spread on lounge sublime
Saying I just took the hook of the phone

Well who needs documenties anyways made one
And by the time the moon shone ever so bright
It had been a day I'll never forget in my life
And I whisped time now to bring on a magic night

Magic moments are made from surprisers they say
They really are created to solve lifes lows
That weekend was all of magic moments arrows
taking advantage of magic moments are the bows

STARLIGHT CRYSTALS
( From Children's poetry I have written )

Starlight crystals .. Moonbeams bright
How you shine within my night~
Higher than thought are you there
Shining silently beyond compare~
Going in time , turning so
As in your space time and light years you go ~
How you came to be so far back in time
Sublime creation within my mind~
Lasting forever,having been all of my days
As you shine so you show me the way ~
Should I ever dream of more than your light
I would still always admire you within the night~
Far more about you , how I wish I could know
But for now I will watch you , As upon earth I grow~.

BEACH COMBING
How I love that earliest morning walk
When ever I get the chance to go-
Down to the smooth undisturbed sand
Upon a beach I both love and know-
A special kind of morning meditation
With natural gifts given by the sea-
All there within the oceans cleanest air
Nobody else about but me-
My foot prints alone within the sand
As I wonder so far up and back again-
Collecting this and maybe that as well
A little drift wood to make a special frame-
Time to think and time to reflect as well
Upon what ever comes to mind-
Strolling slowly as I go along
Surprising sometimes what one can find-
Early morning beach meditation
In the very earliest time of day-
When all is washed and all is new
And the high tide has slowly gone away-
Beach combing .. Love beach combing
Upon the smoothest ever undisturbed sand-
Within the oceans cleanest breezes there
A moment taken ever so loved and grand-

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
If ever you are not with me here
You will always be near~
I will always love you
Never have any fear~
You are every where I am
Always in my heart and mind~
I will always love you
Our love is forever you will find~
Every room holds your memory
Every mirror holds your face~
I will always love you
I will always feel your embrace~
Never for a single second
Will I not feel that your with me~
I will always love you
Together we will always be~
Together or when we are apart
We will always be as one~
I will always love you
Just I have since we begun~
Our hearts they are the same heart
Our love forever true~
Forever and till eternity
I will always love you~

Man on earth has way more to learn
Though sadly he has no respect for life
Hes killed more than any can imagine
Hes the reason for all todays strife

If hes so all knowing on our earth
Why did God give him a woman true
Without one he is rendered useless
Alone he'd never make it through

Created with an ego larger than earth
He wrote bibles on that as well alone
With him being as hes always been
His heart unknowingly created of stone

Not all are like him thank goodness
But those of endless ego rule the earth
He simply cannot see for the life of me
Realize compare to woman hes little worth

When the garbage hits the fan one day
Man has another lesson thus to learn
Woman will be the last of the human race
To survive on earth his ego thus to burn

LEAVING SOME FOR YOURSELF
Poetry and the writing of same has always
Been a beautiful way to have so many know..
What you were about deeply within over time
Ever so long after the time we eventually go..
What you write now is what in the future
People will read and feel they know you true..
Your deepest thoughts if of sincerity in time
Will remain in many always so much of you..
One day your thoughts might just help so many
One day simply make it through another day..
With common sense and also wisdoms learned
In our reality here and now not just to pray..
Basic sensible caring loving considerate advice
Things that helped you in life and time get by..
Many lessons learned here on the very ground
Preventions and solutions help so many not to cry..
We all live but one life here and now this time
So many find it ever so hard to make ends meet..
Not too many can ever say they know the answers
But often learned the hard way to remain on ones feet..
In this day and age not even the bibles so many
And religions even more so many are they too..
All written of and by the thinking of those long ago
But this is a very different world we all live in true..
An ever not in too many ways at all a perfect world
Although so many do feel that they alone all know..
However we all are simply trying to do the same things
Being to find real happiness and true love before we go..
But what you write now may fill a void within a heart
And one day have an earth bound soul enjoy a day..
If one writes of the needed sincerity so many lack
And maybe help a faint heart simply find a way..

TO THE TUNE OF .....
TO  THE  MUSIC  OF …..

Long ago its all so true
I just wanted to be like you
Now I'm older right through
My songs poetry as well too

After all of my life still do
Share my words with all of you
Wishing I'd have met you too
All to read here red white and blue

This song I adore ….
https://youtu.be/1o4s1KVJaVA


Guess I'll write till my pen runs
out of ink
Then they'll flush me down the sink
Smile have a drink and give a wink
But my poetry and songs forever I think

THE RAIN COAT
She worked on a property that I did too
And she lived in the main homestead~
I lived in a bunkhouse where I had my gear
And where I slept in a bunkhouse bed~
I never wanted to get to know her
As I really needed to not get the sack~
But she kept on being way too nice
And she kept on coming back~
She wore a raincoat on that rainy night
That she knocked upon my bunkhouse door~
And asked if I could spare a cup of coffee
As she sat down on my rug near by the fire on my floor~
I said take off your raincoat why don't you
She then said as if she was singing a song~
Well you did asked me once to drop around
When I had nothen on~
What the hell are you smiling about I said
Then she stood and removed that coat~
My eyes almost left their sockets
And there was no way I could clear my throat~
Next morning she donned that coat again
And slowly walked out of my door~
Looking over her shoulder and said
Coffees good .. I'll be back for more~
Never have I loved raincoats so much
Can't wait to see that one again~
And now I go into a coughing fit
Whenever the boss says , God I'd **** for rain ~

ITS ALL NOW A JOKE
ITS ALL NOW A JOKE

No such thing as privacy on internet
Not anymore in any shape or form
Plus every con trying to get it on
From sunrise untill the next new dawn

You bought and paid for your computer
You bought and paid for Windows ten
Its still against the law as ever before
To sell something and use it too since when

Oh just download me I'm completely free
But incorporated in all is endless crime
I even covered over my computer camera
As they can turn on your computer fine

The only way is pull out all the plugs
That connect electricity on the wall
And as well dislocate your battery too
But they all hire more hackers as to call

Clear data it says on google well do that
I mean everything you've on computer have got
From sign in again to cookies all there is
Clear it all to hopefully stuff up their lot

If they keep thinking you are an idiot born
Windows goes all together as theres others
Who don't hire the best of hackers on staff
Most of them are a bunch of real deal mothers

Store all your info on an external drive
Then pull that out too each and every time
Data is worth more than you'd make in life
The internet anything but wonderfully divine

Early yet I wondered in morning sunlight
Down along the garden stone created way
Naturally and beautiful delights they grew
Welcoming this gentle early garden way

Then I saw an exotic bloom I'd forgotten
I'd given up on it performing some time ago
Facing myself from within a protected spot
As if  saying softly  life's not all that bad its so

Life goes on as if a gentle song if only all to sing
Theres always heartbreak pain to find in life
Almost all of  it could be decided over a table
Sadly  many get kicks out of causing others strife

Theres never an end to destroying others lives
Be it religions politics or I'm king of castle game
With as much positive effort the end result of it
Might allow  blooms like this one sun and rain

Simply and naturally it bloomed undisturbed
Giving what comes naturally be it day or night
Allowing other blooms to do likewise peacefully
With love as it was meant to be without any plight

To think such wisdom comes from an exotic bloom
Distpite what endless others think it should be
Bring love peace of mind and such sublime beauty  
Giving credit to all things positive and naturally

NATURES NATURAL RESPECT
Way down in a shadey spot
Where I've a plant hospital there~
In old buckets and tins
Where I can doctor them and care~
Up on a long thin hanging branch
I saw an amazing sight that day~
Natures natural respect
As two catapillers crawled upon their way~
There was I watching these two little grubs
Crawling towards each other on this limb~
Only room enough for one to go
The chance of passing it was slim~
But when they got together
Head to head right there~
They spent a good half hour
Trying to pass each other and be fair~
One end up hanging half off
So the other could get by~
And as soon as the other got on its way
To get back again how the hanging grub did try~
The one that past it waited there
Till the hanging grub got back~
And then it went slowly upon its way
To where it was headed down the track~
I thought how conciderate
Two little grubs could be~
And I wondered if  was a grub
Would it do that for me~
I thought about how people
Bump into others every day~
When so many are out shopping
It's just get out of my way~
There was not any hurry
As these two did what they were there to do~
And they were but two little grubs
And showed such concideration it is true~
If people could all be the same
Or from their book just take a page~
Planetarial concideration
Might just one day be the latest rage~

I saw a little bunny , It looked so funny
As it hopped around in the morn~
The grass was wet , I got as close as I could get
So very early in the dawn~
It was only a baby , All alone and maybe
It could have lost its way~
I wished there all alone I could take it home
It looked so all alone that day~
I then stood where I sat and it saw my hat
And hopped further and further away~
No more was the bunny that looked so funny
No more did the funny bunny play~
Its eyes were big , Its ears were long
Its tail a little ball of fluff~
It had cute little feet so short and so neat
And its coat was as furry as a buff~
It hopped all around without a sound
As it played there in the early morn~
The grass was so wet , I got as close as I could get
So very early in the dawn~
A rather fat little bunny that looked so funny
Oh , I never will forget~
The very way I saw it play
How Id love one for a pet~

A STUDENT ASKED ME
Away out in a bush camp once
Sitting around the fire
Girls and boys and a few helpers
Singing country songs like a quire

One young guy asked if I knew the answer
Due to something just then said
Are boys born smarter than girls he asked
I smiled and shook my head

Well if I was to tell you son
I do not think you'd believe me anyway
He said yes I would as he played with wood
So tell me anyway

Well I said .. The truth is a little damaging
To guys who do not know
But the real truth is I just wish they knew
Life would be easier on any day

If you get a girl and a boy of both twenty years
You will it is true always find it's true
The guy is twenty going on seventeen
The girl twenty going on thirty two

Girls know where boys are coming from
Long before they even get off the but it's so
And that's the way boys and girls are born
So son you asked so now you know.

I'M HERE TO LEARN
I know what I have yet to learn here and now
And I guess at all somewhat to date I fale
If this life is University life I have mu doubts
If when I leave I cab boast to them of Yale

More Patience .....More  Humility ....More diversity
But then this is just a class in life I guess for me
Seems my soul has done so already this time
Like taking to kindagarton pure trigonometry

But always been a good soul to the letter
However as this life's candles all burn
Within the now vehicle my soul travels in
Knows so well .. So much more I have to learn

NATURE DOES AS NATURE WILL
Nature does as nature will
And always has done before~
Doing just the same as it always has
In our future for evermore~
Regardless of the importance of man on earth
Nature simply does not care~
And before we came and after we've gone
Nature on earth will still be there~
Volcanic,weather,earths continual recreation
It's still going on as always back in time~
As it always will forever and until
Despite all of yours and mine~
We are only a small percent upon earth
Of all life upon earth this day~
Humans,animals,plant life and birds
And as well as all else simply come what may~
But nature does as nature will
We've only to keep changing with it to walk along~
Rolling along with what it dishes out
And best we can sing natures song~
God giveth and God takes away
Not many know all of the meaning of his word
To think we can understand all of God
As humans it's absurd~
Earths recreating every single day
It has it's ongoing seasons and as it sees fit~
We have no option but to simply go along
And work the best we can with it~
Nothing much that we can do
To have a say in how it's always been~
And how it will forever be
Nature to earth is both it's own king and queen ~
We only can look as far ahead
With consideration in looking back~
And if we can see far enough ahead
We could all be safe and well up the track~
For all that know how to look ahead
And know nature it does not simply care~
And if we keep in mind that we are all in all
Way up the track we might just still be there~
But nature does as nature will
It's always been just the same~
Nature simply pleases it's self
And plays it's own seasonal long term game ~
The entire earth destroyed six times to date
The last meteorites ever large wiped it clean ~
As it re-newed cooled millions of years later
Climate change was born again to be seen~

Don't 'cha just love gentle rain on the roof
I too love the smell of rain on dry soil~
love listening to the kettle on the stove
When the waters almost on the boil~
love the taste of outback billy tea
Love the fragrance of the flowering gums~
And I love the feeling of getting back home
After a hard days work is done~
I really love the summer evening breezes
And the sight of the fullest Yellow moon~
I love listening to my true love sing
Whilst cooking and humming a little tune~
I love that twinkle in her eye
When I throw her a passing kiss~
I love all lifes little things
Its they that make life simply bliss~

SOME LITTLE BOYS
He never knew just what he had it's true
When he had all a man could want in life~
Angels that loved him , depended upon him
A good christian and loving wife~
But some little boys just never grow up
When it comes to being mature~
They keep searching for yet better love
When they have love that always will endure~
But you havent got to be real smart
To figure out what happened to him~
He ended up with another no way as good
And her chances of being so were slim~
His little angels how they cried for him
Their mother blamed herself for it all~
Because the one she loved had told her so
It all almost drove her right up the wall~
Destroyed a lot of her confidence
And it all set her back aways~
Some little boys will always be little boys
Searching for more love still their latest craze~
Some little boys will always be little boys
Some simply never grow to be men~
By the time they have found they have lost it all
Way too late to go back once ag'en~

SANDS OF TIME
Maybe some have not concidered this
The poets of life would know for sure
All the important stories are on a beach
Have always been will be forever more

Every single different size of the sand
Eevery different size of stone and shell
Have all the stories of life there within
And still so many more untold yet to tell

No matter what size each grain of sand
They all make up the beaches that there be
All so God given and needed in life always
From the smallest and largest there by the sea

Much one could say like every soul on earth today
The richest poorest important and the smallest soul
They all make up what we refer to as life upon earth
And all play in their way the most important role

Like the most prolific poets and those that just began
Like the smallest ever flower and those so large in size
All are a part of what lifes all about upon earth
Without them all life upon earth as we know it dies

So many stories and wisdoms of life all upon a beach
That are all there to tell of all we need to know
Next time you are walking upon a beach just ask
Open your mind and allow the beach to whisper low

The most insignificant to the most concidered greatest
All are different sizes of sand within the sands of time
All make up the beach of life working as one always
And all are blessed by God above with all his love divine.

WITHIN HER EYES
I could never understand or comprehend
Mans egotisticle opinion since time begun
The need to hold a woman down in life
Under his importance in all time of Sun

As if a woman was always a threat to him
Of his need to feel within as if number one
As if a woman was in anyway better than he
Feeling that she was his mother he the son

This time upon earth the male human species
Feeling that he was the stronger *** that be
Almost admitting by doing so he was sp wrong
Blaming woman for his woe his very sexuality

Inventing the garden of Eden and Eve as well
Where his very weakness as man gave birth
Any truth to such a fantasy was thus proving
He could not survive without woman on earth

If ever I wished to gaze at all life upon earth
Without the slightest hint of endless lies
All I'd ever have to do and its so true
Is to with all honesty gaze within her eyes

The male ego used as a ladder to even climb
To where his opinions of woman lived free
But thats the curse and much more worse
Is where man has placed himself always to be

Fairies,Elves and Little people
That all come out after dark~
To work and play and visit all their friends
And do all they do at night like the evening lark~
They say they all have little jobs to do
And things to take care of~
Things most of us humans take for granted
Little chores they all perform with love~
Its said the leprechauns look after the trees
And that the elves take care of the flowers too~
Fairies look after sleeping children
There would be one that watches over you~
During the dark wee hours of the day
All those little people zipping around here and there~
Doing all that they do so well
Their love for life and nature beyond compare~

STEPP'EN BACK
( A song I wrote a good while ago
  written as sang )

We all look back on days gone by
Precious memories~
Times we knew ..Songs we loved
That special walk among the trees~
That someone .. We loved so much
Now long since gone away~
And how we always think of them
When we hear an old song play~
Way back in our good old days
We all so often say~
Going back into the times we knew
Steppen back .. Still the latest craze~
Steppen back .. Steppen back
go'en back to when~
There was a time .. memories fine
Times we ll never know agen~
Like a picture on the wall
We all were younger then~
That old tune would often play
In days gone by back when~
When we last looked into those eyes
Seen the love so true~
And when we hear a certain song
We feel in a way we still do~
Steppen back..Just steppen back
go'en back to when~
There was a time .. memories fine
Times we ll never know agen ~

IN THE PINES
When at times I had worries in life
Of a night I'd take a tent blanket too
And go sleep the night in the forest pine
As the pine breezes sang a lullaby or two

I'd sleep like as if nature was my carer
With nature singing my very woes away
Night birds watching over me with love
And not wake until the early dawn of day

My becoming as all  that nature ever created
And I'd dream that I rode the winds on high
Waking no way I could remember my worries
Sung to sleep as natures symphonies would sigh

Sometimes I took my old pet dog along with me
It would curl up beside me among the pines high
The fragrance of the pine telling me all was fine
And next day all was well a new day ever so divine

WE NEVER WEAR OUT
We go from sky diving to bunji jumps
We climb mountains swim the ocean blue
Work our entire lives away not a chance
Anything wears out till that call your through

We can make love to strangers from some bar
Give birth to babies maybe more than a few
But as long as you are enjoying your oxygen
Live each day as if its the last one for you

You can pray your very knees off  if you like
But don't hold your breath its so very true
Because Gods still looking for the Titanic
Or an air line some place under the ocean blue

You can play basket ball football beach ball too
Come home simply worn out but after a wine
Your as good as ten years ago endless energy
Proved simply so often anything less in the mind

Go to disco shopping all day a shower good as new
Eat well excersize sexasize have a drink or two
Age is all in the mind of those that know not
In time to come not far away you'll know **** true

We never wear out in any shape or form at all
life is a ball a dance and an education too
Every beautiful flower in the garden one day dies
But in the mean time its all very up to you

OLD COWBOYS MEDITATION
A lone camp site by a slowly flowing river
Situated under large and shady tree~
A bed roll in a soft protected spot
An old much loved dog for company~
The quart *** can upon the fire simmering
Coffee hot again real soon~
A starlit night almost upon him
And again that largest yellow moon~
A mouth ***** to play old tunes upon
To bring back a memory of back aways~
His horse and pack horse in makeshift yard
He had come here before in earlier days~
A place to simply meditate about his life
To spend some time alone~
And get back to being just himself
All upon his own~
Old *** n fry pan for cooking
Supplies he has along~
An old cowboys meditation
Just like in an old time song~
Life has had him slightly up a creek
As if up there without a paddle~
All an old cow poke only needs most of all
Is his boots his horse and saddle~
Sleeping with his old hat over eyes
Rolling a smoke every now and then~
A few days away from the daily grind
He does this every now and agen~
Gives him time to think about
How times have changed so much it seems~
An old cowboys meditation
To reconsider a few old dreams~

THE LONELY BIRD
Oh look there's a beautiful bird up there
But it's flying all upon it's own
Could be looking for company
And might just well be heading home

But that bird is not at all lonely
It has the sunshine clouds and breeze
It has it's very own destiny in life
And if it needs a home it has the trees

Beats me why most think everyone needs
Others in life all of the while
Like the bird it only needs it's self  to fly
Doing things it's own way has it smile

It's as free as we all in life would like to be
As it flies viweing all of whats far below
And knowing none ofwhats  down there
Will weight it down unable to fly it's so

Now it's seen as a wise and knowing bird
Away up there with it's own peace of mind
Looked at in admiration instead not lonely
With endless beautiful natural places to find

A REAL LIFE TRUE STORY

I was back when once seems long ago down so very low
And Lower than in life than I had ever before been
As well of no at all in life real fault of my very own
As back then life over time dealt me such woe supreme
Only when I was at my very ever lowest ever point
I asked sincerely what else could life have in store
After always doing things everything everybody else's way
If ever at all the way I myself would have done for sure
It was mostly for children I'd never thought only of self
As those in life ever so in life successful as they all do
And only when I had simply no more to give any of them
It was only then in life sincerely a higher power I turned to
It was then just saying my piece and hoping all would cease
I sincerely ever so slowly went then about my very then way
And it was it seemed over a short time those above so divine
They all had heard at that time I was so low what I had to say
Not with any real doing of my earthly soul at all it's true
Out of the blue an answer strangely how it ever gently came
And a new way of life completely free from worldly strife
The answer was with a gift of life no way at all the same
The past life that I lived was at all times my so trying
To then reach a life that all so successful lived so fine
In a their world where financial stability it only ever reined
And while serving their ideals one would never make a dime
The very way my answer came and to have my soul travel
Was a very way in life I'd never considered in life before
To a place upon earth with priceless love and worth
And later married to an angel that in life I do adore
I all over my life had been going about all so very wrong
But then as they'd when in Rome do as the Romans do
And now after all this time I live a life of love divine
Where without stress ever again I can live my life through
And so with real experience of this I can honesty say
Until within sincerely heart,soul mind one trusts powers that be
And only then when you are completely in their hands alone
When you break away from the illusions and then onlyare you free

Just to explain any contradictions .. There is a place we all
go to after all said and done BUT the reality is ..
That place is above mans comprehention ... Its another
domention and no man or soul knows any more about it than
I do .. Having been there and told to come back Not My Time ..
When I saw my own father . Any of religion is all the greatest
none tax paying pile of manure on earth .. Written in their man created bibles .. GOD IS ALL THINGS ..He is .. Mountains Oceans Oxygen .. It goes on .. Their God is LIFE ..

IF THIS ISN'T HEAVEN
This Must Be Heaven

( ANOTHER OF THE MANY SONGS I'VE WRITTEN )

This must be heaven
Hope I can still tell~
Cause if this isn't heaven
Then send me to hell~
Been so long since I've been there
Lifetimes ago~
God I hope this is heaven
Please tell me its so~
I've been so lonely
And I've been so blue~
Known ages of pain
And heartaches its true~
If you aren't my angel
And I'm not in heaven as well~
If you aren't my true love
Then send me to hell~
I've waited so long now
For a true love of my own~
My heart has lived lifetimes
Searching for a home~
My heart thrives only on true love
And true love I need so~
If this isn't heaven
Then send me below~
If this isn't heaven
And your not my own love~
If this is just a dream
And not heaven above~
Then my love sight is clouded
And I can no longer tell~
Sweetheart if this isn't heaven
Then just send me to hell~
If you aren't my darl'en
And this dreams not true~
Then send me to hell love
That's what you can do~
I love you so dearly
With all my heart it is true~
I need you so badly
Cant live without you~
Tell me your my angel
Tell me your the one~
to be my one true love
Till our time is done~
Cause if this isn't heaven
And I can no longer tell~
Then take pity on me
And send me to hell~

LET US BE LET IT BE
Tonight is the moment that we
Both wanted so to know every way
We are within all we dreamed of
Opening  our souls doors and play

Tonight we'er all we can be and more
Tonight we are allowed to be one
No thoughts of anything else exists
We'er every full moon every morning sun

We'er both within each other stars above
Wondering how we existed without such love
Giving more wanting more being more
As we become as lifes hand in glove

Outside the world does not exist in any way
This is our heaven plus an ounce of hell
Perfect rhythum timing moving moments
Only within each other does our being dwell

Our hearts are of one heart our very souls one
With all we are could ever be in all sincerity
Finding energies we never knew we had
Within our attic we are locked as one completely

Live not your life to others rules
Your heart mind and soul will tell
Never lock out moments that thrill so
Your inner wisdom it rings that bell

Take adavantage of momements grand
Theres no rule you have to of them true
If within short times comes magic rhymes
They were made avalable for just you

Life has its lower woes that always play
And when a door opens to thrill your heart
Enjoy them keep them to yourself alone
Love them they'er yours all and every part

You were'nt placed on earth with its worth
To tell all with none in theirs to say
Live not your life to others rules
They'er made available for you each day

If You see a magic moment sent to you
To heart mind soul make it your own
When it does appear take it hold it near
Give it that moment all take it home

MELISSA
Written and dedicated to one of my daughters ..
Of whom I am ever so proud ..

Earth has always had it's earthbound angels
I've always known that they were around~
But one has to just be so very lucky in life
To actually find a real one on the ground~
A beautiful soul with so much charisma
Eyes that would steal away ones heart~
A personality ever so magnetic and sublime
A dear friend to all right from the start~
Her very smile one could never forget
A heart of pure gold~
An absolute true earth bound angel
Once only found in days of old~
How she radiates love and values
Has integrity beyond compare~
A true friend to last a lifetime
And such wisdom is always there-
One feels warmth when she appears
Within her eyes one could surely drown~
Always wearing a magnetic smile
An earth bound angel on the ground~
Sincerity simply at its finest
To fault her one could never dare~
Life for her has not been at all easy
Her woes she's so often reluctant to declare-
There's an ability to look within a soul
But she is as humble as a soul can be-
Intellect and knowing lives within her
As silently she tackles all diversity-
This beautiful soul is named Melissa
A mother,a friend to all ever so very caring-
Seldom does she receive what it is she gives
Within her dear heart of love and sharing-

The blowing wind can be so good to feel
As it blows gently through your hair~
And it can create the most lonesome sound
Blowing through a roof that needs repair~
It can ever so hauntingly
Rushing past the oldest building at night~
As it rattles the doors and windows too
And has you almost curl up in fright~
But without the wind we would be in trouble
For it brings many good things too~
We would really miss it ever so
If the wind it never blew~
In the wind we see the leaves all dance
As it cleans and sweeps the earth~
It works so closely with the rain
The wind has so much worth~
It can generate electricity
It carries the wild flower seeds and grain~
It makes our sail boats fly along
Up the lake and back again~
The wind is our friend in lots of ways
And we can use its power too~
To fly our kites within itself
Away up in the sky so blue~
Love the wind but keep in mind
It can course much damage it is true ~
When it blows too hard and way too fast
We have seen what it can do~
But like all things in nature
If we work with it we will find~
It can be our friend and much use to us
Through day and night and all the time~

THE WORK SHOP
Oh sir you told me you'd show me your workshop
This is the bedroom if I'm right
Yes this is where I do my best work dear one
And I mostly do my work at night

Its here I get my best creations of perfection
Your willing to assist me at any time
Over there is where I do all my photography
Over there my desk to perfect words of rhyme

Over there not too far my relaxation bar
With large T V upon the wall up high
The bed's all of seven feet wide as you can see
With silk curtains to have a hard man sigh

Over there my art area for oils and waters too
To paint my master pieces when feeling good
And draws of interesting toys to use at will
For when a guest is feeling bold knock on wood

Lights that dim and change colorssuiting the mood
And a wine where the best is out of sight
Stheres s much to do in the work shop true
More still if a guest decides to stay the night

Theres a great big chest pieces of silk the best
That a guest well might decide to wear
A refridgerate full of chockolate andthings nice
And all things to have an angel swear

A largest shower to take advantage of anytime
Shelves of softestd beautiful towels to use
A work shop I call it for many reasons why
With a work shop like this nothing left to lose

OH UNENDING TRAVELING SOUL
Oh soul of all you have traveled so
Since a time of no need to explain..
Ever since the many forms of time
To gather knowing again still again..

You have sent your representatives
Over all of time upon earth that be..
To live a life each time of learning
As you travel on to divine eternity..

To every aspect of life on earth
From the time that time its self begun..
Endless lives you represented over time
As a web of knowing is being spun..

Your many beings as experience gather's
Each time within a life to seek to find..
As much as is possible each and every time
Filling yourself with knowing on to divine..

Your existence so above your beings awareness
Has so many of them believing that they know..
But you soul are above their very comprehension
As through all of a timeless eternity you go..

You soul are one soul belonging to an over self
As you pass all to that one all knowing soul above..
Knowing that the only entire way to move on at all
Can be no other but to experience all forms of love..

THE FENCE
When ever I had a problem
That to me did not make sense~
And I wanted to be away from it
In my mind I imagined a fence~
When I decided I wanted to put it behind me
I then climbed that fence in my mind~
And then the further I walked away from it
The further the problem and the fence was behind~
The further away from the problem and the fence was I
The more confident I then became
Then the more I had made up my mind
Never to return again~
I kept that fence handy in my mind
To separate things that were not best for me~
And it always remained there within my mind
To have myself from these things free ~

THE TREES HAVE GROWN

THE TREES HAVE GROWN

I lived my life via good times and strife
But still I searched for real true love-
The kind that is in story books of same
The kind blessed by God himself above-
I stood one day down by an open bay
And their I prayed asking him and all I knew-
Who were up there with him by his very side
Hoping that they could guide me true-
It was not long after those winds blew strong
That day down by that open sea side bay-
When I met my angel soul mate in life
A one  real true love back on the day-
We both have traveled this world over time
Across all those oceans blue-
And still we are so very igood friends
Like the soul mates I dreamed of true-
We went one day back to that open bay
And there two trees they had grown-
In such a very short while it's so
Where the strongest winds had blown-
Like both of us as always in life
Regardless of any of life's diversity-
We two remain as always the same
As both those strongest sea side trees-

POPPIES HAT ( Children )
There are many things in life
That mean so very much to me~
Special sentimental things
That my heart will not set free~
But there's one thing Ive got at home
And it's way more special than the lot~
It's the hat my poppy used to wear
It's the most special thing Ive got~
When I look at it then I can see
My poppy standing there~
Oh how I know he loved me so
And the way he'd stroke my hair~
but God needed him to lend a hand
So my poppy went away~
But I have not got the slightest doubt
I'll see my poppy again one day~

It’s so much a joy to be alive and to know
The feeling’s many that real love does provide
Always there to remind one ever so they exist
As their as if electronic vibrations refuse to hide
No need to turn around within a room to see
Who has silently entered a room then and there
One feels it within one’s very soul so deeply
As vibrations fill your space beyond compare
It’s such a wonder how this comes to be in life
But it only arrives when two are so much as one
Along with speaking eye’s that tell it all so well
Seldom using spoken words gently as the setting sun
So much contentment peace of mind hearts at home
No place upon the earth the other would ever wish to be
Two surrounded with loving electronic vibrations of love
Remaining one forever more and until the end of eternity.

As a candle will burn longer
It's worth way less all of the time~
And as we to go through our daily lives
Our candle of life burns so ever fine~
As our time on earth it slips slowly away
The value of life to many becomes cheaper~
Burning life up as if a candle
And the way back it becomes ever so steeper~
The value of life was once worth far more
Today not many care about values fine and free~
So many they feel they'll live forever more
Not thinking at all of our final destiny~
These days it's all computers it seems
Nobody works that hard any more much at all~
Running through life as does the wind
Feeling they'll ever have to climb life's final wall~
Once there was needed so little to be happy
Now more and more we seem to need to even live~
When not all that long ago we had it all
And we then still had so very much to freely give~
But along came those with an eye for a buck
And almost robbed this planet dry~
And among our most respected wealthy
Not hardly a tear they'll ever cry~
Very few will ever realize what they've done
And they'll never miss what it is they've never known~
But with just a little more human and planet consideration
Instead of burning up our candle it could have grown~
We all arrive with nothing when first born
And at end of day we leave ever so much the same-
Many souls upon earth not appeciating lifes gift
But so much still needless woe , struggle and pain-

WHAT GOES AROUND
What goes around comes around
You've heard it said many a time
Sure build the wall to last not fall
That sides yours this side is mine

We'll spend time making our home
On this side  butfrom now keep in mind
No USA comes over here same rules
From this on in your doing none of mine

At the entry gate from now no debate
Be legal here as well our new rules
Build the wall strong thick and tall
Illegal entries on this side for fools

What goes around more-so comes around
From here on in let it all simply be it's so
Your side USA and our side all ours
Legal only allowed here in Mexico

Oh little boat ******* out on the water
To a big pile just out there a way~
How many things you'd do and see
As you float a little out upon the bay~
How your many stories never realized
As you alone simply float out there~
Bobbing up and down within the tide
Within the ocean breeze and salty air~
Many seagulls how they visit daily
Fishes shade and swim there under you~
Planes daily fly so highly over
As you rock back and forth within the blue~
Swimmers often swimming out and back
Resting upon you there for awhile~
Waves wash you so within the storms
Upon you the sunshine dries and smiles~
The rain it falls and cleans you so
Breezes turn you towards a different view~
Your motions portray the rock of ages
And so much you could speak of it is true~
Almost unnoticed noticed you go through every day
As day dies and night it falls~
Many stories you could tell
As favorite sea gull stop and calls~
Passing boats must smile at you
As they pass by within the foam~
******* to a big old pile you might well be
But out there you never are alone~

Old man driving flat out down highway in new car
A policeman there stopped him along the way
Look I'm going home early give me a reason why
Your in such an almighty hurry better be good I say

Well the old guy said to policeman it's like this mate
My wife ran off with a policeman last week true
And I thought you were bringing her back
What else was I really  supposed to  **** well  do

She can't be all that bad can she the policeman said
The old guy pleaded breaking down in tears
Married to her I  ought to know I'm telling you
For deliberate ****** a bloke only gets ten years

Well if I see her I'll pull her aside for questions a few
The old guy said better call for back up it's true
She'd take care of one policeman in an hour or two
And you'll not have a home after work to go to

UPON A CARPETS OF GOLDEN LEAVES

Ever deep upon the ground among the trees
Turning over within a gentle autumn breeze
Some dancing upon the way to the ground
Children playing and them laughing with ease

River near by as its finding its gentle way
Slowly to the ocean upon this ever sublime day
Birds they in the trees how they sing away
Wild flowers growing with such natural display

A picnic in a most beautiful river side place
On a carpet of golden leaves with natures grace
Such face lit smiles upon every single face
Only natural peace on mind in this natural space

Bluest skies and a high cloud or two looking down
At all nature has provided all naturally true
No noise to be heard just natural music the sound
Upon a carpet of goldren leaves under skies of blue

This is a song that I see as a world wide National Anthum
But any who does not like the word Bull ...Sh...t its a NO
However if the leaders of this planet listenened to it
It'd be a better world to live in and that a fact and so

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS IF THE WORD BULL-SH..T
IS NOT APPRECIATED IN THIS INSTANCE
AND OFFENDS ..

THE SIMSON DESERT
A big old tree as naked
As a big old tree can be~
Standing in the red sand
Away out where everything is free~
Tumble weeds they lay about
And everything is still~
The sky all the same shade of blue
And only a slight breeze it moves at will~
But life out here does exist
The lizards and the likes~
Nothing moves much during the day
They all come out at night~
The nights they are as cold as sin
And the days are as hot as hell~
And the desert sands change all the time
Away out here where white man couldn't dwell~
Only the Aboriginee can survive
In a place that's often as hot as boiling fat~
For only they know how to live
In a land that could burn your hat~
Away out here in this arid land
Where water is as good as nil~
Little food and little shelter here
Where a man can soon lose his will~
The Australian Simpson Desert
A land that knows no care at all~
Not a place to be alone and unprepared
Many have died here trying not to fall~
