And So Found Dawn

it was in doubt
that i found faith.
it was in forgiveness
that i found forgiveness.
it was in loss
that i found passion.
it was in suffering
that i found understanding.
it was in letting go
that i found freedom.
it was in the mirror
that i found prayer.
it was in darkness
that i found light.
it was in jail
that i found dignity.
it was in addiction
that i found determination.
it was in giving
that i found love.
it was in fighting
that i found reason.
it was in reason
that i found dissatifaction.
it was in questioning
that i found truth.
it was in truth
that i found the need for silence.
it was in silence
that i found kindness.
it was in working
that i found respect.
it was in respect
that i found acceptance.
it was in living
that i found god.
it was in god
that i found the need to touch.
it was in caring.
that i got dirty...
and so found dawn...

The Perfect Father

The Perfect Father
who accepts you
the perfect father
who protects you

The perfect father
what will you do?
but believe in him
and accept Him too

The perfect Father
who gave His life
The perfect Father
is found in Jesus Christ

The perfect Father
who knows your name
The perfect father
who will remain

The perfect Father
who lovingly guides
who wants to lead you
like a shepherd
and walk
by your side

The perfect Father
who listens and holds
The perfect Father
who gently consoles

The perfect Father
who changes you
by his Love and his kindness
and acceptance too

The perfect Father
who understands
This perfect Father
became a man

So that you could come
to personally know Him
and know there is a Father
who is out there my friend

There is a Father
who exist, your not dreaming

He's looking for you
while your searching for Him

He's found in Jesus Christ

Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life
no one comes to the father except through me'
(The Holy Bible) John 14: 6

Where Do Fireflies Go To Die?

My tears used to wake me from a delay unduly prolonged
Your smiles used to hurt me for their beauty my heart dethroned
This love had locked me up and threw away the key
And mile upon mile of wishful thinking pushed you further away from me
I looked into the mirror and found the devil I danced with was me
And the fireflies that once lit our canopy are also no longer free

Dead Memory

Your memory no longer lingers through my life.
You were there once and now your gone.
Your memory has died like a rose when it is cut from the rest of the world.
Your torns no longer cut my heart.
My voice no longer whispers you name,
I no longer look for you in other people in other faces.
I no longer dream of you or wish that I see you once again.
My heart no longer cries or bleeds for you, not no more.
You no longer haunt my dreams or my memories.
I finally found someone that keeps me warm at night,
I finally found someone who has helped me erase your memory.
I no longer fall and stumble but I now walk tall.
Your memory was a weight that I carried through out time
that now I am free.
I can say that I no longer love you, for you are a dead memory

Safe In Mind (Chris Gross Remix)

Don't you go to turn around
i know the moon hands tied us
Can you find where hides the love
Breathing down your neck...
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
Someone's found a way
I see the moon, the moon sees
All that i do is twist in the unreal
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
Someone's found a way
To break into my mind
(Someone's found a way...)
....To break into my mind....
Aaaahhh...
Aaaahhhh...
live's a gun that's always pointing
live's a gun that's pointing in my face
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
Aaaahhh...
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
Aaaahhhh...
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
(Someone's found a way...)
Aaaahhh...
Someone's found a way...
Someone's found a way...
Aaaahhh...
Someone's found a way...
Someone's found a way...
(To break into my mind...)
(To break into my mind...)
I like...
The street, the smells
The sense of the underworld
Sometimes you come face to face with yourself

Lost To Your Love

When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the deep moonlight ocean
That I found in his eyes

When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pale pink rose
That I found resting upon his cheek

When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the light brown bark of a tree
That I found on his skin

When we first met, I was lost
Lost in the pearls
That I found just underneath those perfect lips
When he left, I was lost
Lost in a whole new way

No more deep blue eyes
No more pink roses
No more perfect pearls

And when he left, I was lost
Lost in the sorrow
That I found in my heart

A Perfect World

In a perfect world,
Death would never be.
Life would be forever
And last eternally.

In a perfect world
You'd still be by our side,
Lighting up our happy lives.
You never would have died.

In a perfect world,
Sadness would not be found.
Love and life, and happiness
Forever would abound.

We Believe that perfect world
Awaits us when we die.
A world where eternal bliss
Is found in Heaven's sky.

We'll cling to faith and hope,
For God is a God of love.
And then in time we'll join you
In that perfect world above.

We Are Thrown Together

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile
We are lost we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand
Lets go
I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile
The cage is found
Fools gold inside
Is there a key to the
Bars of the mind
We are lost we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
You look for love
You just get skin
You turn around
And the changes begin
We are lost we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
Takes a second for your world to change
Satisfactions what you give away
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Picks you up and drives you down again
Takes a second for your world to change
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Throws you down and picks you up again
Satisfactions what you give away
Takes a second for your world to change
Satisfactions what you give away
We are lost we are found
We are thrown together
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

End Of A Rainbow

I have found a rainbow
And the end is in sight
I have found the bottom
Of a giant rainbow
Many colors spray all around
I go through the mist
Feeling what a rainbow
Actually feels like
The colors are in order
A perfect array of them
I’m so pleased and honored
To have found such a rainbow
I look around for the pot
Where the gold is supposed to be
But it’s nowhere to be seen
Ah, the tale isn’t true
But I did find something exquisite
Something very very rare
I found the end of a rainbow
A place so elegant and special

I Think I Found Myself

(eric carmen)
Its been a long time comin
But I think Ive got it figured out
Sometimes the easiest things are still
The hardest ones to learn about
Well I was strugglin so hard for my freedom
And it was there all the time
But I just couldnt see it
I think I found myself
I think I found what Im lookin for
I think I found myself
(dont you know)
I think I found what Im lookin for
Well I got sidetracked somewhere
Though I really cant recall just when
I lost my inspiration
And I couldnt get it back again
(no)
I trusted everyone else so completely
Well I was deaf, dumb and blind
But Ill be damned if Ill let em defeat me
I think I found myself
(dont you know)
I think I found what Im lookin for
I think I found myself
(dont you know)
I think I found what Im lookin for
Im tired of tricks and politics
And futures burning bright
Im on the line and out of time
For once in my life
Im gonna do what I think is right
I think I found myself
(dont you know)
I think I found what Im lookin for
I think I found myself
I think I found what Im lookin for

Once Found Boring

Once found boring!
Now so adored.
Those we accused,
Of hanging up...
Their dancing shoes.
To choose a life,
Free of partying...
Night after night.
Instead of sleeping and getting,
Their rest.
Eating right.
As they carefully watched,
Their appetites.

Free of partying...
Night after night.

Eating right.
As they carefully watched,
Their appetites.

And now they are the ones...
Alone home sitting,
Wishing to rid from...
Those aches and pains to them have come.
While those once found boring,
Seem to do whatever they choose.

Perfect Pair

Beneath the perfect warm sunshine,
Beneath the perfect sky...
The lion and his Valentine
Both shared the perfect sigh...
Love is both precious and perfect,
The maximum, the best...
The strongest love that could be checked
Could pass each trial and test...

The perfect breeze had calmed the air...
They rested, so serene...
And everyone was quite aware
The king had found his queen.
There was no doubt their love would last
The years until life's end...
For each had found how quick time passed
When with the perfect friend.

They gazed into each other's smile...
Like perfect lovers do...
The perfect pair stayed there a while...
Content, for love was new...
I envy them with all my heart,
For all the joy they've known...
You see, I live my life apart...
Unloved and all alone...

The poem is based on the magnificent painting
by Stephen Gayford called 'Perfect Pair'.

Archive

In my archive
some pages are never found;
some are rarely found
and some are found.

The found are never found by me.

They find me.

In The Love Garden

In the garden where Love

Could be found

I found a beautiful Princess

Whose Love I share.

Inside the garden where Roses

Could be found

I found a mighty Angel

Whose Love is mine

Within the garden where Love

Could be found

I found a white Flower

Whose beauty is that of a bride

Between the garden where Love

Could be found

I found a mighty princess Diana

Whose heart I share

Underneath the garden where Love

Could be found

I found a charming Diamond

Whose charm is that of my Love

And

Outside the garden where Love

Could be found

I found me a Lover

Whose heart is mine!

And

Inside the garden where Love

Could be found

I found me a pen

And write this lovely ballad for my babe!

The Location of Love

Love can be found in Pompeii
But not in Rome

Love can be found in the sewers of Paris
But not in the Eifel tower

Love can be found floating down the Nile
But not within the Pyramids

Love can be found in a lower east side apartment
But not the Hearst Castle

Love can be found in a junkyard
But not in a factory

Love can be found in front of a Chinese tank
But not at the United Nations

Love can be found deep in a dream
And still be there when you awake

My Angel

I found a friend
Who always knows something's wrong before I do
I found a friend
Who has listened to everything I say
I found a friend
Who is beautiful and doesn't know it
I found a friend
Who is kind, and caring, and funny
I found a friend
Who loves me for being me

I found a friend
Who tries to understand me
I found a friend
Who loves to give me compliments
I found a friend
Who keeps the guys from annoying me
I found a friend
Who loves being around me even though people talk
I found a friend
Who is kind, and mature, and amazing

These two friends
I'm lucky to have
These two friends
I will always have
These two friends
Help me in different ways

These two friends were sent to me from above...

I Lost and Found

Her love that I loss.
Her skin that is soft.
A girl like her, I will never come across.
But I found another treasure.
That is beautiful as a exotic creature.
She is beautiful as nature.
I found a cur to my heart.
She shines like light.
But never dark.
I found a new world.
That took me out of hell.
I found heaven.
Where angels flies through air.
I found a halo of good not bad.
I found a real woman that I am glad.

What is beauty if...

What is beauty
If it is not found in a child by its mother?
What is beauty
If it is not found in women by men?
What is beauty
If it is not found in what you have created?
What is beauty
If it is not found in sacrifices you make?
What is beauty
If it is not found in foot prints you left?
Be it found
Before it is too late for you to do

Thirteen Mile Goodbye

(gary burr/gerry house)
The sign said synonara in the japanese restaurant
The billboard said theres no tomorrow in the christ church parking lot
The laundry mat said, youre all washed up
How can I disagree?
And the street sign
Did everyone know but me?
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Dont know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye
Now this cant be paranoia
Its just coincidence
At the palace theatre on the corners playing
Gone with the wind
And theres one more grim reminder
Every twenty feet
How come I never noticed
This is a dead end street?
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Dont know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye
I see the y in the ymca
Ive been asking myself that all day
She put a closed sign on every door
Just to proved the point if I wasnt sure
She must have gone
To a lot of trouble
I got the truth
Right betweent he eyes
Dont know how she found the time
But between her door and mine
Was a thirteen mile goodbye

On Contemplation

I tried to understand you

In order to understand myself

The prayer being the 'mirror'

For my contemplation

I excavated my 'idea of you'

Shaped always by my own carefully honed thoughts

My perfect ideology was never found

Neither satisfied or filled with discontent

I found myself a perfect shell

Whose 'echo' was devoid of argument
