MIDSUMMER SUN
Midsummer sun
your golden light
at solstice dawn
majestic sight
Equal measure
light with dark
yet focus on
the golden spark
Exploding forth
as fire alight
creation dawns
as ever bright
Symbolic of
a brand new dawn
of life anew
the past forlorn
Forever gone
to yonder years
and with it all
our hate and fears
For love is now
the golden glow
as brotherhood
forever flows
Midsummer sun
your beauty seen
as love divine
is now supreme
O glory to
this solstice day
your golden fire
it lights the way

'TWAS JUST BEFORE SUNRISE
'Twas just before sunrise
and throughout the land
all creatures were stirring
and like a live band
The music was joyful
and made people dance
and loving and kindness
e'erwhere at a glance
The call to wake up by
the bright light of day
it caused great excitement
for now come what may
Life it's now heading
for newness so good
for living now being
as it always should
Be kind to one's brother
and sister and all
come now together
this now is the call
Breathe in the love
and the joy in the air
and smile at the wonder
at this state of affair
All creatures are waking
and beauty it glows
the wonder and awe and
all goes with the flow
For now on the brink
of a new way of life
the sunrise now daylight
and peace is now rife

DARK UNKNOWN
In the dark the sun does shine
Do you see the light?
The golden glow forever warm
Perfect form of night
Auric brilliance glistening gleam
Lighting up the way
Unknown mystery opening up
To new light of day
Golden calm serene and still
Silent beams of light
Understanding all there is
Is joyfully in flight
Freedom flies on wings of song
Tune of harp-like trill
Lightly touching on the heart
Gentle love the fill
The dark is unfurled mystery
Yet as more light is shone
Dark unknown sheds forth its love
At last it's now our own

MORNING GLORY
Morning glory, ancient story
Golden sunshine rising high
'Tis a new birth of the new earth
Wondrous splendour now is nigh
Night-time moonbeams, magic daydreams
Wakening to a life anew
Past is history, now the mystery
Living in the moment true
Freely flowing, all is glowing
Loving all in brotherhood
Ideas showering, creative flowering
Morning glory golden flood

CREATIVE FLOW
Creatively flowing with love
Within and without and above
Connection divine
No sweeter than thine
A union that fits like a glove
Flowing with love, all is beauty
Such wonder is far from a duty
Peace is prevailing
And all is plain sailing
Taste the divine - O how fruity!
Love is the perfect creation
Such tenderness in this relation
Let yourself go
And move with the flow
Be free in this awesome translation

LIGHT OF DIFFERENT SHADES
All is light of different shades
All is beauty - everglades
See the light in all you view
Even night - a wondrous hue
Brightest light in sunlight seen
Yet at night the moon doth gleam
Stars they sparkle, twinkling so
The Milky Way forever glows
On cloudy days the sun is shining
Providing clouds their silver lining
When the stormy winds do blow
There's a strength and power to know
And falling rain which floods the earth
Cleanses all to its new birth
Many different shades of light
The magic of the day and night

COME HOME TO MOTHER'S BREAST
After long, dark days of winter
We welcome back the sun
A festive time of a new birth
The darkest day is done
Happy days return again
The power of the light
The sun's bright flame is burning
Smiling golden bright
New year, new birth, begin again
Dark and light as one
Love and peace the sweet release
A joyful time begun
In darkest times the sun still shines
It's light forever glows
The moon, it's sister, shines besides
And life forever flows
Brother sun and sister moon
Together side by side
Sharingly cooperative
The ebbing of the tide
The ebb and flow of light and love
A gentle beating drum
Rhythm of the loving heart
The awesome breath of One
As nature calls the universe
To flow at last as one
No longer be resistant to
The beating of the drum
The sun and moon together light
The mystic universe
As one together being as
The song of love in verse
Rhythmic pulse it ebbs and flows
The universal breath
In and out we breathe again
Come home to Mother's breast

EBB AND FLOW
On rocky shore the ebb and flow
Of tide and ocean seen as one
The changing sense of all around
As in and out it goes and comes
Shoreline marks the edge of time
Yet moon doth draw the tidal flow
Highs and lows are variable
Depending on the pull and tow
Swimming with the flowing tide
In nakedness of skin to cold
The water salted keeps afloat
Relaxing movement of the bold
Sounds of soul at nature's call
Ordered rhythm of the flow
Wonder, power in its strength
Tidal current comes and goes
Flowing gently to the shore
In timely movement of the moon
With the coming and the going
Ebb and flow of soulful tune

HAND OF GOD
Hand of God it reaches out
To lead us home to be
Returning to remembering
The truth that sets us free
Hand of God extends to us
A love and light divine
In our heart a glowing flame
A gentle tasting wine
Hand of God embraces us
Protects us all with love
Within, without and all around
Below and from above
Hand of God it holds within
The glory of the One
The awe and wonder of all life
The victory now is won.

WAKE UP
Wake up, wake up
It's time to flow
The sun is up
It's time to go
A new life waits
So live it full
Expand your heart
It's wonder-full
A magic time
For all to be
The past is gone
Now history
So open up
Be free at last
The new life waits
'Tis in your grasp
Go forth and fly
As eagles' soar
See grander heights
Big picture more
For heaven waits
A mind at peace
Go forth and serve
A full release
O glory be
The walk is now
To yonder shores
The victory - 
In love one finds
The joy of One
The gift at last
The presence won
At last awake
Eyes open wide
An awesome view
Life sanctified
