Light of the Land

What is heaven to you?

When you close your eyes?

What do you see?

I see peace in colors

I feel the breeze

I know God is speaking

Like the old Gold Coast

Nomads settled

In tribal beads

Future unknown

Yet praises touching the sky

Underneath, earth awakened early

Far from carnality

Technology in trees and birds

The sun telling time

Huts forming circle

Fire only a tool

Seeds sowing

Children harvesting

A heaven always close to my heart

 

 

A Beep to God

Turn back the times

To when I was young and mild

Joy always crowded on my face

Far back, past future bills and letter heads

Then, when a cry came back with an answer

Blessed by love’s early mercy

A circle cut shut by the devil’s false hope

To live and think of innocence never given

Survival scars forced onto one’s hands

scribbling away life’s birth marks

Crunched,

held,

walked

Then pushed

Some place far into oblivion

I, still out here

Searching for my father’s house

Beyond Star lights and Destiny Fields

Murder, murder

Slaughter for the keeps

Sheep in wolves clothing

Casting shadows amongst the rest

Wisdom drank only after the demise

Too long to bring peace past destruction

Give and take

Life first

Although, now the other

inter-changed

always swapping

Lesson scribbled,

somehow showing balance

 

Murder, murder

Burn them all down

Cows fed milk

Humans fed by prices

Numbers showing souls

Phones bending spines

Spirits being snapped out

 

Breathe now

To live longer and fulfill,

beyond star lights and destiny fields

 

And the Brown Lament

As the sun sets,

liquor drank hard

goes down tumbling

breaking through bricks and rocks

hiding shadows deep within evening lanterns

Night Caller

Awakened into life

Space boundless

Jupiter Dancing

Saturn raising red dust

Stars all clapping wishes

Burning of full energy

Reeking of vibrant peace

Distance attained

Differences only a memory

Views from a different world

Roaming plants only allowed

Far out, onto the yellow brick road

Wide awakened, still

Intact with the high plains

Down seems further beyond

Here, here

Only on these clouds

will I sing and jubilate

Nothing holding

So I must confess

Of joy and love

Yeah, nothing holding me

So I must confess

Of joy and endless love

Sand, Shells and Red Corals

Clusters of distant souls

All bright shinning

Star light years ahead

Retelling existence

Origins beyond books

Crystal bells ringing

Adding to the hue

of sparkling red

Blue waters, mesmerizing 

Ancient tales told in energy

Sang by the angels of Osanouba

Holders of the beginning 

Creators of the ends of time

Changing Seasons

Miracles bound by hands of hope

The gathering of seasoned hearts

Lacking any form of hostility 

Prayers reaching sky high

Their voices filling empty seas

For they seek things standing above

Nations come causing confusion

Yet, they remain

Unity, kindred

passed down from generations

Of their mothers and fathers spirits

Good intentions replicating

through changing seasons 

five days of peace

out of control

out of mind

don’t matter

high in spirit

less with secrets

got my sleeves rolled

scars and blunts

scattered

paper all through the streets

got my head right

focused like a deer

head light, never missing

always stretching

forward

traits of a winner

always polished, flying

even without kiwi wings

black against the sun

one with all

 

Been a while

Caution me

For, I might wander off a bit

Nothing strong in hand

Just corona for guidance

Liston’s summer nights behind

 

Been a while

I mershed ink

Digital or not

Took a minute to come back

Had to chase round my thoughts

Distractions in different shapes

Started a trend

a love never passing September

 

been a while

my heart melted

forming,

turning,

crying,

waxed

into words

my spirit

somehow

out in the night

of sky time

wandering

amongst letters and stars
