If I was to use all the words
Of all languages
Ever used by poets
Since time began
I’d never be able to describe
That moment
If I was to collect all the masterpieces
Of all the works of art
Ever designed
By man’s imagination
I could never repaint
That moment
If I was to live
All my past, present
And future
In pain, fear, and sorrow
Absorbing the suffering
Of all humanity
Since life began
It’s a price worth paying
To experience
That moment
Thank you for giving me
A taste of paradise on earth
If only for a moment
Thank you for opening a window
In my confined heart
In the here and now
Into eternity and infinity
If only for moment
Thank you
For blessing me with
That moment
2003

Soul, O soul don’t be sad
This turmoil is but a fleeting storm
Life is born of cosmic explosions
Stardust, supernovas and black holes
They make plans and the Most Sublime plans
Out of chaos, order supreme
They destroy nothing but their very own souls
Cheer up and dry those precious tears
Run to the One Most Gracious Most Kind
Open your arms and feel the Grace
With that embrace nothing can harm

Waking up every morning to the same nightmarish reality
Throbbing thunder
Ugliness abound
Horror, excruciating pain
.
.
Waking up every morning, to the same astounding reality
Bountiful goodness august
Lovers whisper of kindness
We cherish Life, we adore
Awesome wonder
Beauty sublime
Bliss, unimaginable delight
