When I don’t understand
Direction cast askew
Let soul speak of knowing
Lord I’ll depend on You
When can’t take it no more
Weary through and through
Lifting tired bones
Lord I’ll depend on You
When ego shouts its rage
Frustration starts to brew
Turn to Spirits voice
Lord I’ll depend on You
When conflict arises
Perceptions misconstrue
Let humbleness arise
Lord I’ll depend on You
When life comes to an end
Judgment time is due
A sinner’s hope for mercy
Lord I’ll depend on You
Through all of the noise
Past thoughts in my head
Through peripheries glance
Spirit has led
A turning to prayer
The parallel way
Of life divine
In moment to stay
A pocket of silence
A soft dwelling place
The treasure is found
The answer is grace
Light of the glowing
Rebirth from within
In binding with You
A new vision begin
Sitting and watching
The sunset go
Perfect the ending
Of each day You show
As light is fading
All answer the call
To rest in the quiet
As peace covers all
Moonlight on watch now
A calming song sings
Trusting in comfort
Your providence brings
If we will partake
In gift here to see
Hear Spirit now whisper
Come share it with me
A mornings’ time
That’s spent with thee
How wonderful
For us to be
To take stock
Of blessings sent
Each moment lived
That You present
With eye of heart
Of sight to see
With ear to hear
Your sweet beauty
With sense to feel
A touch of skin
Of fragrance deep
Breath to draw in
A savors’ taste
Or sour sweet
A sixth sense
Of prayer complete
Let’s pause this day
To exercise
The senses gift
For the wise
Muscles are tight
Stress here prevailing
Surrender unto
A prayer of exhaling
Acknowledging Presence
You are always here
You know of my challenge
We’ll release it to prayer
In breath of the deep
Let Spirit now flow
Infusion of trust
Now let all go
Breath of the cleansing
Exhaling, replay
Peace of the stilling
Let love find its’ way
On knee before You
With an offered prayer
Please bless this time
In Your presence here
In power of Presence
Please now be real
Of mysteries gift
To human reveal
Cast away doubt
Spirit flow through
True faith believing
The graces of You
Open the gateway
Let us adore
Unbounded surrender
Flow though my pores
Oh mystery great
Past this world transcend
Let mind just believe
And let soul comprehend
There is nothing they want
There is nothing they need
That they don’t own
To some gift, we concede
A confection of plastic
Some junk to amuse
Electronic gadget
Are gifts that we choose
On Christmas day
A fake, thanks for that man
By the end of the 12th
They’re in the trash can
The gifts of this planet
Abused by man’s hands
Forced in the slave shops
Are fruits of gifts plans
So, make a donation
Or pen them a prayer
The gift of you
Is a great one to share
Don’t trash the planet
To tell someone you care
For all that it shows
Is that we’re not aware

On this Thanksgiving day
A different way to measure
If this was our last day
What would be our treasure?
In ways that we were blessed
Of cherished memories
Stored within the soul
Of friends and family
Grateful for the gifts
Shared abundantly
What seemed a random path
In focus now we see
Moment of transition
Now to eternity
What will make the passage
Do we have the key?
Hard truth of the knowledge
Of sinners that we be
To greatest treasure cling
Our Savior walks with thee
Colors in the water
Ripple of the flow
Something of beyond
You want the soul to know
Capturing eyes gaze
Stirring of the deep
World of the unbinding
Peace begins to seep
Time now of the heavens
Arising of the soul
Easy be this dwelling
Prayer is in control
Unspoken of word be
Soul hears message true
In this treasured moment
Awakened into You
Let thought rise above
May soul be aware
To be blessed in this moment
Right now and right here
Make the connection
Through soul offered prayer
Be blessed in this moment
Right now and right here
Good is our God
In soul always near
A blessing of moment
Right now and right here
Grace be bestowed
Of souls vision clear
Eternal blessed moment
Right now and right here
Purpose incited
Of binding to share
Be blessing of moment
Right now and right here
