Gaia - held mebodies springingborn from mud, oceans, and treesreturning always unto the creases in her
welcoming arms
blessed have I traveled farfor so long walked upon youdanced with youhow I will remember you alwaysmother Gaia even sweeter than Venus in my dreams
drumming my footsteps in your soft nightlike a wild buffalo roaming your plainsseeing the stars and wild driving lightsnone hold like you
my heart has torn too many timesof what has been done to you and your childrenthough I can still hear you laugh at me like your little boyas if you could not purge to cleanse anytime
this is my sweet songdreaming into your breastmother of all life here with me
I knew I was not of youbut built from your body I have sharedenough to call you Mother
aye this childlike warm Taurus bulllet me lie upon you one more timeit will never be forgottenhow you have held me

escaping the master
of masters and leadersmost know not the difference
cowering on the mountain ledgesencased in small closed dwellings
no they could not see the sunbut only by faith could believe in itno they could not see the dark things belowbut only by faith could believe in it
most sit scared without even knowing they are afraidfollowing the world from which they partakefew have shaken the walls of their cavebeginning to life's opening to peace
the doorway though fear is that to peacefor it leaves us bare of what we are nothow willing would we beto seek it
the master of our own mind seeksnot to be led but to be told
what lands we may walkwhat we may eatwho we may marryand what mountains we may buy
it bows to the more powerfuland rules over life it sees inferior
we seek the leader within and withoutwho would enslave nothingbut joyously sing with us upon
the quest through the once the cold wallsunto the mountain
may peace be our guidesomeday we may speak of thingstoday we know not offor now may peace

be our gaugeand fear beour opening
no longer do we care what the neighbors say
nor judge our own hearts from the programof the master within
for it is that very masterwe are escapingand accept not our right or placeto judge
no we see with eyes beyond theseopened by the door of peace
only fear once held usno longer do we shiver alone
Amen

dreaming lifewords poundedfrom the breast of creation itselfbefore even
voice makes soundsor fingers scrape letters
words etched from nothinginto what we call form
no they were a dreamthen a thoughtthe form always trails
in the mind of all potentialall has occurred
will occur, and occurs foreverlet us take this small seat in the theaterand watch this show
how did the dream become usthe maddened attempt to be and forgetand when the shell is lifted
what a strange and differentland we see
fully aware we do not know anymorewhat we are capable ofor what rests within the possibilityof an aspect of God
in peace let us smile againstillness and safety always in Youand may we always rememberour home as we dream
8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 9

the road of many
we have walked the roadslaid before our feet
and with many have we traveled
we have sought the dreamson billboards and promisesfor many miles we have walked
yet around so manyhow we felt aloneand when our legs were failinghow frightened did we rest
one thing we all have knownis the coldest loneliest ditchin which we have fallenlooking up while in paincrying out in our anger
we have all knownthe rising againdreaming again to reachthe next dream alongthe road of many
how many timeshow many times
will we get back uphow many times
would we be shattered againby the hard pavementof these roads
one day would we stumblenot upon the path of manybut into the woods
one day would we walkinto our own dreamour own steps
8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 9
8/21
now followed
still may we walk the road of manyyet bound to its path we are not
within the soft streams do we drinkand in the high mountainsdo we restheld by the earth and life itselfno longer the cold lonely road

hidden knowledgebooks and moviesspeaking of what and howa grail, chalice, or piece was missing
from what was handed down
speaking of what we lostneeds no bookfor it breathes through and around usand is walked upon in all places
yes they gave us words of the Fatherin different degrees of correct interpretationbut even these formed into beliefsmeant once to be a premise for seeking
yes they hid the words from our Motherthe earth itselfand her way is law in this form
all we steal not meant for uswill too be stolen from usall we hate in our very minds
will create hate unto us
the Mother is exact and loves us as her own childrenshe does not punish only has a lawyet arms open wide for our return
if we want to see correctlythrough polluted lenses and bodies carried in conflictour journey will be difficult
here she beckons usas does the Sun, Light, and Spirit
see them bothwhat they offer could never be lost
Amen

tendinglike a cell tendingto the bloodand an organ tending
to the body
that a body can tendto the earthas a bird
would so perfectlybe as it is
and like the smallest atomwould be the earthboth orbiting arounda system greater in size
and on and onthese little eyes look out
in amazement and wonder
for now let me be this bodylet me breath this airand let me sow my life.I was never left without what I was
teach me and hold mebe with meand may I sing as best I canon these steps until
what is next
Amen

Earthlet me belet me be as I amas we are
all creatures stemming from the bellyof our mother
as caretakersnot infestations
where true healing is in and of the earth
for our own healing withincomes only from the source that renews
may my hands not faltermay my peace not stumble
to live in an indentured worldwhere all is owed not to the earthbut to man
when the towers crumbleShe will still be smilingand would the few that could rememberof where they were from
feet planted firmlynot to be undone
free does the bird flyfor it is a bird
free does the singer singfor it too is a bird
the last days were the first andthe first were the last
loops could not be ended forthey could not begin

but seeing a loop as other thanwhat it is
rests a dream of what is nottime can be misunderstood
purpose can be misunderstoodour very soul can be shrouded
if we seek where it rests not
true Freedom speaks to the only thingthat cannot be imprisonedconsciousness
once this is remembered may we return to sing
in the crazy loop of a crazy dream
soon my friendsoon my brothernow
alternative would be the dream of peacewhen fear grasps the throats of menwho are afraid to losewhat they believe they can hold
our two natures combineholding hands
we push on hereand carry the stone as best we canbut not to lose sight of whatrests inside
past timebeyond the world
all worldsall thingsall kinds of lifeand all that is not forever
peace be with us
Amen

gentler thingsmasked with wolves teethand bearded gruff we sittie and coat shiny
even red for what we call authority
masked with amulets of identity holding powerof what we perceive
we move into this placewhere one could still believeit could be given
deep in the woodsdeep in the cities
we still see the eyesof those dressed in the clothes of manyet would harm us not
for bread and a roof we have tradedas the game would make us dogladly we tradeand fed are our children for today
gentler things lie inside too manythat would harm no creatureand steal from no otherbut would givethat which most would calltheir life
take us to the eyes we seekfor we seek our own and they are many
whispering in-between barks and growlswe can be heard if you listen
we would harm you not.so many have survived in the forestas the forest demandedand still the body yells to be fedno judgmentof what it isfor to have life in the way we know

is alwaysto take another
let me bowsweet and soft for only one moment
in-between packs of my own kindripping flesh for what they do not know
let me askanother day of beauty where the sun risesand i run along the gentle plainsof the soft snow and sunlightthe wolf now following not afraid anymore
let me sing
Amento the gentle ones.

building
lego upon legothe child would call it a castlecell upon celluntil we see that of a bodyatom and atom untilthe elementand planet circling the sununto a solar system.as far as we may seeas small as we may see
all things of formcombine, dancing
and leave againonly to rejoin new buildingsin the endas in the beginningnothing was gainednor could be lost
only time beyond time can seenin what we call the beginningand the end
only eyes beyond eyescan we wonderat the incomprehensible vastness of buildingsconsciousness may create
our small lives so beautifuldancing under, above, and besidemay we remember
when the buildings become so vast
our thoughts are coveredas is our visioneven through the earth does It come
the remembrance of thatwhich breathes lifebeyond words
8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 9

may we listenmay we smile at the greatest gift of alllife blessed
past the buildings
and in-between timewe stand with the Onefrom which gave us all we ever needednothing could be lostnothing could be gainedfully loving and wholemay we smile through and through
Amen

my childrenone day my body will be gonethis would be factthis poem is to my children
as my father left when I was too young to understand
his last words in my head were "i love you"but I really could not make them out
this poem is to a five and seven year oldI see being conditioned by a societyso they can learn to fit in and thinklike we all were once taught
my father passed and I missed his story
I have always vowed you will know mine if you wantthough now you would not understand
his did not sit on pageslet mine rest for you todayso tomorrow you can smile at the words of the man you knewas your papa
little ones,this is to you and I am looking in your eyes as I write
though no one who has ever loved a child would be forgottenin these small words
little ones,no matter how much I loved you that could not be enoughfor it is you who must shine on someday on your ownshine on my children
do not let the cold corners and bookends trap you for too longdo not believe killing and war is justnor believe those in power care more than they do
see the eyes behind the eyes unto truthyou and I and all little onesshare the same Father
I care about you and can only leave you thisI can only leave you these wordsso badly do I hope someday we can sit and read these words together
8/10/2019 Songs From a Quest to Peace Volume 9
18/21
but we may not and so I write this
the quest to peace is your heart explodingit is the tears of happiness that you would be free and alivethat no one could ever take
if you seek it someday I will not leave you everit would only take a small twist of visionfrom the eyes of the world
now the night is late and even your papa gets tiredbut know how I hold you in my hearteven when I know you are you as I am Iand I see no difference in your eyes than mineother than a few long years
let us laughand join againin this quest to life
your papa

shine on beautiful childwe disperse from the centerinto the angles of the worldsthe tangents, the merging, and the game of life
some have been gone for so longthe center is all but forgottenthe quiet placethat has no place other than the remembrance
the whirlwinds of my dreamsthe storms of my emotionsboth beat me and carry melet me return
if the ticking days counting downto the end are what we fear
we have only forgottenwhere the center is
may we return again unto peacestillness and that home
where we are loved and lovefreely
knowing not the count of days or dollarsit cares not for these thingsthe center only smiles immune to all factorsshine beautiful child shine on
and what would i giveand what would we givefearless and unafraid for it is not our place to judgeour worthfor that is of the light from which we are drivenstanding beyond judgment
It who calls for us to shineonly what it would have us giveall we areall we have ever knownin the center when the world was tired and afraidshine beautiful child, shine on

love's blockadelove has already arrivedunlike the eyeslight is needed not
for it stands at the door to meetour own heart always
love givesfor it cannot but giveit does not need to travelas everywhere it standsand forever it lasted and will last
what then would be its blockfor anything of this magnitude
could have no fear of an enemy
love wars not with darknesspeace hides not from mistruth
let us look at the block to that whichmelts us into peace and lovefor love cannot be taughthowever the bindings to its opening can be pointed
into form let us travellet me zip up this human suit and plug in these eyesthere now let us look
the greatest fear I always believed that you were deep downmy enemy in the dark of nightseparate and differentstalking me in the woods waiting to takemy possessions and my very lifeto drain it onto the leaves
this is a horrid tale I do not know how manycan find in the depths of their plug in brain
but the real obstacle to peace was whenmy fear of my brother
was seen as it was.

I was the killer just the same as heI was justified in my thinking only because I knewof his guilt, and mine too
thus the human trap continues
the trap of body and painstopping freedom's flight
most of all blocking the entrance oflove
it would only require a mirrorand the willingness to see and forgive
Amen
