Sunday Morning - II

Why should she give her bounty to the dead?
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?
Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,
In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else
In any balm or beauty of the earth,
Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?
Divinity must live within herself:
Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;
Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued
Elations when the forest blooms; gusty
Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;
All pleasures and all pains, remembering
The bough of summer and the winter branch.
These are the measures destined for her soul.

Precognition

A vision of things to come
Born out of the sub-mind
Denied to be true by some
For others, future divined

God Why?

God why do people die?
God why did you make pain?
God why weren’t you there the day my grandfather died?
God why are there earthquakes?
God why do hearts break?
God why are people on there own?
God why do you make people get hurt?
God why is there fear?
God why are there storms?
God why are people all alone?
God why are there drugs?
God why do people committee suicide?
God why aren’t you stopping global warming?
God why do I have nightmares?
God why is there no peace in this place?
God why did Jesus really die?
God why did you make sin?
God why do people hurt?
God why do children get kidnapped?
God why does love hurt so much?

Slender: I'll ne'er be drunk whilst I live again, but in honest, civil, godly company, for this trick: if I be drunk, I'll be drunk with those that have the fear of God, and not with drunken knaves.

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.

Heaven Only Knows

(heaven only knows...)
Oh, I know its strange
But I think that its about to change
So Ill take the chance
To get back into the straight again
Chorus:
Heaven only knows (Im really on the level)
Heaven only knows (Im trying to find a way)
Heaven only knows (Im walking down the straight & lonely road today)
(again...)
(heaven only knows...)
Now the sun will shine
And Im gonna work it out this time
And before the light
All I gotta take is one more night.
Repeat chorus
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows
Heaven only knows, heaven only knows

Thus Be It Heaven Heavenly

In our Bible, the dream of Samuel is death,
As the clouds consume his form and bare him to Heaven--
The song from colored birds so lyric and sweet
We feel ourselves no more, and pray:
'Thus be it Heaven Heavenly. '

The tales of Christ and Moses feel sacred through their Godly power
Of beauty, angels in their discipline kept
Where the clouds are not on view; we pray:
'Thus be it Heaven Heavenly! '

Brainwashed

Brainwashed in our childhood
Brainwashed by the school
Brainwashed by our teachers
and brainwashed by their rules
Brainwashed by our leaders
By our Kings and Queens
Brainwashed in the open and brainwashed
behind the scenes
God God God
A voice cried in the wilderness
God God God
it was on the longest night
God God God
An eternity of darkness
God God God
Someone turned out the spiritual light
Brainwashed by the Nikkei
Brainwashed by Dow Jones
Brainwashed by the FTSE
Nasdaq and secure loans

Love justifies the presence of divinity in all that life means, giving it Eternity as an ageless season. You recognize yourself in this eternity as the existence of the other.

God Shakes the Universe

God shakes the peoples of the earth;
God shakes the nations of the world;
God makes / unseats leaders and kings;
God makes / abates Nature’s furies;
God takes our burdens on Himself;
God shakes the universe!

God loves the righteous souls He made;
God sows the seeds of harmony;
God knows our problems and travail;
God rows life’s boat to land’s safety;
God tows soul’s ship to divine ports.

God leads the upright souls as guide;
God consoles us in affliction;
God pries into our secret sins;
God heals the wounds of hearts and minds;
God cares for us with love untold.

God wears no mask like Evil One;

I Wish U Heaven

Doubts of our conviction
Follow where we go
And when the worlds compassion
Ceases still I know
4 your every touch i
Thank u so much
4 your every kiss i...

If I see 11

Still I wish u heaven
I wish u love
I wish u heaven
I wish u heaven
La la la la la, do do do do do
La la la la la, do do do do do
La la la la la

If the secret of being a bore is to tell all, the secret of pleasing is to say just enough to be - not understood, but divined.
