Spirit
 
My spirit is soaring like the owl at night, silent, searching and watching me from above.
Protecting me, guiding me.  I feel my spirit rise and fall with the wind.
Silent strength, sharp talons and a hunger that won't be denied is testimony to hes wisdom.
Without wisdom, life would end, without strength, famine would prevail.
Without sight predation would occur, without silense all would be detected and destroyed.
Without spirit, all would be dead.
Befriend the spirit and learn the lessons, feel the omnipotence and grandeur of living.
Test the endurance of the body, listen to the silence for the whisper of life.
See the beauty of the land and living.
Seek the wisdom of experience.
Soar with the spirit, run with it, swim in its oceans and sleep in its cradles above the land and under the sky.
Taste of the earth and the salt of the seas.
Breathe of the sweet nectar of life and return to life the spirits taken so more will be here tomorrow.
Take only the old, sick, slow and injured leaving the strong, fast and healthy to survive.
Release all the spirits so they may return and replenish.
These are the laws humans should live by to insure tomorrow.
Love the Light,
Humma Waquesi

Life is a Lesson
by Gloria J. Acord
 
Life is a lesson
A lesson of how to see the sunshine
When it seems darkness will not fade
 
A lesson in how to see that tiny bit of good
In things which seem to be all bad
 
A lesson in letting love wash over all
That hurts and maims
 
A lesson in how to find hope
Even when everything has been taken away
 
A lesson in reaching out a helping hand
When there seems to be nothing left to give
 
A lesson of seeing rainbows
When there seems to be no color left
 
A lesson in smiling
When there is no smile to be found
 
A lesson in finding brightness
In everything, no matter how small
 
A lesson in giving love
Just for the sake of offering it
Life is a lesson
 
footnote:  these two poems were written after an event which cost jobs for people.

The Aftermath
by
Gloria J. Acord
 
Teardrops have fallen
Smoke is clearing
Ashes sifted through
And slowly lifeforces
Are stirring slightly
Hope dances on the horizon
But it sparkles in the distance
As hearts and minds
Move toward the glimmer
Promising sweet relief
From the depths of shock
And sadness
Recapturing the zest
Which faded with the force
Of untrue actions
Laying low the spirits of many
In the waste lack of compassion
For those left in the aftermath
Of the betrayed
Under the guise of friendship
Torn asunder with the departure
Of all that is never done in love
But in the hearts which hurt
And cramp within
The broken confines of the human form
Stirring in the ashes
Is a sadness for those
Who will never know the warmth
Of a friends love wrapping
Around their spirits and soothing
All that befalls and wounds
As life takes its tolls with those
Who know not how to love.
But those laid so low
Will still bear the pain
Of hurting for the betrayers
Who live in the coldness
Barren of knowledge
Which makes the sun shine bright
And warms the hearts
Of those who still see hope
In all things and reap the rewards
Given because there is no condemnation
In Love.

I Despair
 
So Cain killed Abel
 And so it begun
Now some men take the right
To kill another mans son
 
When will this end
When will they learn
Will they accept their sons death
When it comes to their turn
 
All men have the right to die
For what they believe
But not the right to kill
And make another man grieve
 
If you want to die for a cause
To show that you care
Then die like the boy
Under the tank in Tienanmen Square
 
Don't kill a mans child
And expect him to forgive
Because he'd lay down his life
To allow them to live
 
So where does it get them
All this blood and the hate
It gets their sons killed
As in our grief we retaliate
 
And so the circle whole
It never does end
As they kill and we die
And we war without end
 
They wave their fine flags
Their gods and their hate
And the innocent die
Because such is their fate
 
Woman or man
Girl or boy
When will they see
A life isn't a toy
 
I grieve and I weep
In the depths of despair
How can they kill
Without even a care
 
You murder our sons
Leaving just weeping mothers
Isn't it time that you learned
That all men are brothers

In The Beginning
By
Phoenix
(copyright 1/24/2003)
 
What awesome sight to fill the sky,
 
What blinding light did meet the eye;
 
When from nothing came all to be,
 
When from darkness, light to see;
 
Where timeless ages humbly bowed,
 
Where forever became here and now;
 
How empty silence awoke to sound,
 
How lifeless, sprung with life abound;
 
Why from nothing did all come to be,
 
Why do we question and cannot see.

A Phoenix rising from the flames
A gentle breeze called Winds of Change
Together now and none shall part
Two now one a beating heart
 
The word a feeling a pledge a vow
The answer yes, the question Do thou
This day a day for happiness
That two friends are to be so blessed
 
In spirit your friends we will be there
For the two of you we do care
We hope for you a path of bliss
Sealed when he says you may kiss
 
The bride a beauty
The groom so smart
Together now and so you start
A life of marriage your feelings shared
Partners now forever paired
 
 
Too the pair of you,
                                 I know I do not know you well but I do wish the both of you as much happiness as you can stand and then a bit more, and I am sure, no positive that I speak for all the members of this group when I say that. I know that we all would have loved to be with you and shared your special day, but failing that we will be there in spirit and wish you the best of everything.
 
Your friend Pete, Oh and the rest as well, LOL
 
I hope that Pete does not mind that I am sharing this poem with all of you that he wrote for me and Phoenix on railfans site for our marriage.  Thank you so much Pete.  You write wonderful poems.     Winds of Change

Seek to Fly
 
This is it
I have seen
I have known
I am free
This is life
This is love
This is soul
Fly with me
 
Many times I sought to be
What oft alluded me.
Wanted to be something
 other than just me
And I found there was naught
in what others seemed to see
Yet I felt there was something
that I was supposed to be
 
The light shone upon me
His hand touched my soul
The wisdom of ages
Has made me quite whole
 
You are as you are
You are precious to He
Your gifts are unique
And your soul must be free
 
Seek within
Be so still
Be calm and be peaceful
Allow yourself fill
 
Then fly gentle soul
Spread your wings to the sky
Let your love shine forever
An Angel's sweet sigh
 
Rise with joy
Sing with love
Find your place
Seek to fly

Our Park Hill
 
Memories on us of days gone by,
sitting on our park hill,
gazing upon the wonderous blue sky.
Our eyes amazed at what beauty so high.
 
From wings of the birds,
a refreshing breeze
 slipping so softly thru the grass & the trees.
 
In silence you and I,
knowing all that we've shared,
our Glorious Creator,
who loves us,
put it all there.
 
So find us a park hill as beautiful as the other,
and I'll meet you one day,
in our home of forever.

                                     CAT
 
A jumping juggernaut a jesting jab
A troubling troubadour a tarty little tab
A slipping sliding smashing duff
A floundering feline of furry fluff
A nip a nap a nudging budge
A hip hopping hissing grudge
A crazy quickness of quizziling quest
A zigging zag of zany zest
A clump of cleanlyness a clamping claw
A puffing pounding of padded paw
A blazing bluntness of a bored bad boy
A triumphant traverse a tasty tiny toy
A leaping lazyhead a lovely little licker
A dazzling delinquent a double daring dicker
When God created you he laughed and sat
For you took a lot to create you naughty little cat

DREAMS OF THE NIGHT

Darkness of the night our dreams come

We have our freedom as we enter the dream realm

We have guides that begin to help us as we enter the dream realm

The messages we receive when in the dreams we have in the night will stay with those

Part of the dream realm is plesant

Part of it is a nightmare

The dream realm will exist forever

Can you fathom the fact that dreams are real just another realm

Who can say we r here when the body sleeps

We will be together as we are guided through our dreams of the night

The dream realm we have complete freedom to go in any direction in the dream realm

We should have empathy for those that head into the nightmare part of the dream realm

There are so many lovely places to go

Why would anyone want enter the darkest words in the dream realm?

Dreams of the night is the most wonderful places to go

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

<DIR>

There is an eclipse coming

Has a bold look

Everyone can experience eclipses

The wind blows

Over the sun moves towards the moon

Time flies like the wind

Alas the eclipse is gone

Love gets eclipsed

Eventually the eclipse will come again

Clap the thunder comes

Last long the eclipse of the heart

In the heart the eclipse goes

Peace comes to the eclipsed hearts

The sunrays beat in the heart

Enjoy the eclipsed heart

On the of an eclipse hope and love spring eternal

Fall in love with the eclipse

Then u will see what I mean by the total eclipse of the heart

Hand and hand the lovers walk

Eventually lovers will join

Hearts of lovers beat in unison

Enjoy the total eclipse one and all

As lovers enjoy their love and the total eclipse of the heart

Ring in the love from the eclipse of the heart

True love is seen

Until We Meet Again
 
Dad, Forever gone from thy sight
but never from thy heart.
 
 
Travel ye through eternity
until we meet again.
 
 
Our hearts and lives forever entwined,
My love and hopes are with thee until we meet again.
 
 
Rest in peace and happiness
For we shall meet again.
 
 
With all my Love,
 
Danny

The Fabric of Unity
 
Silken threads
Woven in time
 
Colours of love
Fibres of strength
 
Set deep within
The heart and the soul
 
Eyes that reflect
Hands that touch gently
 
The unity of knowing
The beauty within
 
How wondrous this fabric
Humanity's cloth
 
Intricate meldings
The lace of our lives.

The Dance of Life
 
A composition of creation
This precious gift of life
Wondrous to observe
Faltering steps
Become a symphony in motion
 
The finding of 'Self'
Merging into the  harmony of 'Together'
Reaching out to hold close
The unity of the human state
 
Through eyes of love and respect
See the splendour of the dance
Together
Apart
Embraced
Enfolded
magnificence in motion and rhythm
 
Sometimes a wild turbulent celebration
And in a moment a graceful waltz
Sometimes a joyous leap of faith
And then a slow descent flowing to earth
On gentle waves of harmonic resonance
A relection of the pulse of mankind
 
Then the brilliantr uplifting dance of the Soul
Flowing ever upward
Towards Eternal Light
Free as we have never been
Connected through each heart
Touched by love
We become as one
And share this dance of life
