but sometimes can be seen
what is not there, yet could be
when heart can peer through mists
with eyes closed, and mind seeks
what is seen may not be what
will happen, or even what
could - but still the image
remains from eternity to then
to see the image, believe it true
is to have a kind of faith
so strong it can keep your feet on the path
to give the devotion to walk
this is how people have hope
that strength from nothing but
your own dreams and those
lights life hides under shadows
it may come from nothing seen
but no one can walk without
it - even if it cannot be seen
it can be felt - by heart, by soul
be encouraged by what you can see
and what you cannot see
have faith and be stronger
dream hard and reach higher.
Anger's destroyed a thousand friends
A thousand sins has made
When pain grows greater
frustration too strong
anger will begin-
Burn the darkness with the light
bring a kindred heart's sword against anger-
let the love guide your way past
and your path will shine forever
Because my mind
is filled with joys
is filled with fool's gold
dreams of a future
not possible to me
And my world seems like a cramped room
Where only the mundane is seen
And even when I lift the darkness
from the corners
there is nothing but blankness under
I fear that I may have to lie here
And go to sleep someday
I fear to close my eyes
I fear to fall and die.
but when the tide of the wishing has past
only the true dreams remain
A dream bring light,
a dream brings strength
A solid ray made of hope and choice
When steps falter
when all strength fails
Borrow wings from dreams.
I wish for happiness
I wish for success
I would wish for another heart to hold and to love
but when I dream
I dream for strength
to walk in the way my Father would want
to struggle against pain and win
to end my days with a word of praise
And to see my Father's face again.
And some are too high
too black, too fearful
A person alone cannot climb
Than how did so many climb it
I wonder
As I stand on the road
And my feet burn with heat
Another pilgrim
came up to me
asked for help
I hestitated
I thought perhaps
at least he could pass
helped him over
He did not go
called my name
pulled me up
crouching on the top
Where I stood
and looked at the road before us
and the silver doorway at the end
and made a pact
with the pilgrim
to be companions
from now until there
perhaps further.
The world looks darker
Than I remember
The faces I see
seem twisted in feelings
of invisible hate
The sun beats down
upon the ground
I wonder why
it does so
I cannot see
my eyes are dim
I feel a pain
within my mind
or is it my heart
and my soul
that cry?
a Father loves us, knows of our needs
and he gave us a way to walk with
he gave us a Word to learn how to walk
he gave us a Spirit to learn how to try
he sent us a Son to show us the word
to save us from sin, to steal away hearts
to plant seeds of faith in wandering souls
he knows we only in him brave our trials
he knows we need him, and because he is love
he holds us and gifts us with that we do need
he brought us his way
he brought us his love.
The form of pain takes these words
and leaves a empty heart behind
My cry, my plea, I wish to thee
I wonder at my fate-
why hearts of all loves
are closed to me
the key I never will see
Empty life - pain of strife
task of standing up again
after pain.
He conquered death's grasp
and had come to help us all
all this
because of love
that was
stronger than the darkness
stronger than the pain
stronger than any dark sin
He destroyed the bonds of sorrow and law
So that we all might be free
Pray you gain the faith that the ones
he led had
Pray you that you might recieve
the teachings and wisdom
About Man's sorrowful needs
And of the Lord's harmony
Fight against Man's dark disbelief
Show them the light that you received
And many shall walk in the Light of the Lord
Light from the hearts who believed
And when the journey ends a home you will have
Where the builder of all waits for you at the end
And the builder of the home and of your own heart
Will gladly recieve souls with a nail-scarred hand
I carry a light that not I wrought
A light that was given to me, not bought
I walk with friends, with the Father of all
My strength, my spirit, my life's only Lord
My soul lighted by a torch of love
Where world's light dims, its glow renews
Sadness part of my heart deep inside
But joy is what breaks the heart in me
I walk a way through the grey dark fog
I walk a way lit by love
I walk the path that only some have walked
But many and One walk with me.
He nevers looks for purity
He seeks not the righteous
He has no need for men
with self-reliance and strength
But he seeks
for the people
whose hearts ever ache
He seeks
for the ones
who would love him with faith
He seeks for men
Who would walk the path
He seeks for men
Who would pray for the strength
He looks for the people
Who can cry when they fall
He reaches for all
Who love Him over all
No need to shine your own soul to clearness
No need to have the strength that you have
All he needs for you to do
is trust and obey him
And pray for the strength
and seek Him the way he seeked you.
He is beautiful
as he slides over the surface
his legs dancing
his movements jerky
reflexive grace
I wonder what he would think
If he could see the world
he was in
from a person's view of him
for a single moment
to see the infinite sky above
and know what was below his grounds
he would know life
if he could.
