Inspirations
Sometimes inspirations
come from humble things,
things that many people
don’t take the time to see.
They go on life’s journey
ignoring everything around,
the sweet sound of nature
that all around us are found.
They ignore the life giving air
that is tempered by the breeze.
They only see what they want,
ignoring all they have.
Then a writer comes along
his mind ready to explore
all the beauty and all the sounds
and writes them down.
They call it inspiration
and everywhere it can be found.

Sweet Inspiration
Lyrics and music by dan penn and spooner oldham
I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just dont go my way
A woman in love
Needs sweet inspiration
Yeah, and honey thats all I ask, thats all I ask from you
Ive gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just aint no tellin what a satisfied woman might do
The way you call me baby, baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin, darlin
Sets my heart to skating
And if Im out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Oh, what a power
And Ive got the power
Every hour of the day
I need your inspiration
To go on, to go on living
To keep on giving this way
I need your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
I need, sweet inspiration

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

The Beggar Of The Spiritual
my body is telling me something
i ignore it
it screams on the street
i am not affected
people who hear and say something about
a complaining body
do not influence me
i am telling my body that i hear it completely
and by saying so
i assure it that i am not ignoring it
and it demands
that i do something about a neglect
but i am not into this anymore
i am not in the mood for a physical cure
that realm of the epidermal
sphere
i am into something more
the parallel divine sphere
that i have not spoken to
for years
as it is ignoring me
like i have the leprosy of the spirit
i am begging and kneeling
before it
it is getting even
it is still ignoring me
but i am not stopping
i am
and will always be unhappy
if i cannot have
it finally
when the door is opened
and then
i am in
at the end

If I Should Die Tomorrow Say Only This Of Me
If I should die tomorrow say only this of me
In Nature's marvellous creations great beauty he did see
He found some joy in writing reams of stuff he did write
Though none of it is memorable or worthy to recite
The Reaper has claimed the life from him and if his name we should recall
We can say of him that he loved Nature the most important one of all
For Nature is the greatest the one not destined to die
Immortality for human beings has been based on a lie
If I should die tomorrow and today is my last day
I will return to Nature for that is Nature's way
Of dealing with her life forms on all living things a use by date
Nature's Reaper claims the life from every life form she create
If I should die tomorrow leave me to rest in peace
From life's many cares and worries I will have found release

Running
Here in the world
feel it flowing
river of life
on a human journey
dont be afraid
of becoming the sea
don't worry yourself
many stories will
be left untold
but understand
everything must go
Slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh livin' is a journey
walking believing running
for shelter now
slow slow lover
rub you down
we don't want no one
hurting don't make a sound
oh living is a journey
walking believing running
What's that you do
you're running around
there's people that need you
and you're letting down
and when it's time to care
you always leave town
don't hurry yourself
there's some wildness
there and mercy
it's the emptiness we
love touching
Chorus
Give thanks and praise
for good things you found
humble people
not ashames nor proud
and always try to keep
your feet on the ground
and love yourself

The Beauty We Ignore
I am the beauty
The beauty in the summer *the heat*
We ignore it
.
I am the beauty
The beauty in the winter *frozen cold*
We ignore it
.
I am the beauty
The beauty in the fall *dying life*
We ignore it
.
I am the beauty
The beauty in the spring *birth of nature*
We ignore it
.
I am earth
I bare all seasons
And you ignore me

Third Party Views
You may see it now on your visit.
With a wish to claim it for yourself to get.
But you chose to get away to run.
Making no investment,
In overcoming struggles done.
And in the midst of my loneliness,
You were among the missing.
Dismissing my needs.
And ignoring my pleas.
And you gave no time of any kind
To find if love could be blind.
I found,
In time...
Love found is blind.
Leaving you and your views,
Behind.
No time for third party views,
In my mind!
And you gave no time of any kind
To find if love could be blind.
I found,
In time...
A love that I found is mine.
But you chose to get away to run.
Making no investment,
In overcoming struggles done.
And in the midst of my loneliness,
You were among the missing.
Dismissing my needs.
And ignoring my pleas.
And you gave no time of any kind
To find if love could be blind.
I found,
In time...
A love that I found is mine.
And I found,
In time...
A love that I found is mine.
And I found,
In time...
Third party views undermine.

Lifes A Journey
I say life’s a journey, because life’s something we have once and everything we do and say is something we can’t go back and change. So I look at life as a journey. That I have to live full out, with no regrets. I don’t have time to live in the past or think about all the bad things. Almost all human being takes life for granted, and I don’t want to be one of those people. So I promised my self to never ever live with regrets, so I try to do whatever my heart tells me. And I try to stand up for all my believes, and I can’t do that if I live in the past or with regrets. It’s a waist of time,
Because life’s a journey.
I usually say if you got a dream go for it, because giving up on a dream is like giving up on life and giving up on life is like sitting and asking god to die. I know it’s hard to go for your dream when people tell you, that you won’t make it. So I just tell my self, whenever I fall I get back up, because I won’t give up without a fight.
Because life’s a journey.
What you’ve got if you don’t have faith, I know it’s hard to hold on to, when we live in a world like this. But I always hold on to my faith and my hopes.
My believes is what often keeps me going,
Because life’s a journey.
Life is hard, we all know it isn’t fair but I say stop worrying about what you/we don’t have and appreciate what you/we have. Because whenever you/we have a bad day someone else has a worse day and in worse case someone might be dying,
Because life’s a journey.
This world need some love, I know it’s easier to hate than love but at least could we try to respect each other. We would get so much more out of this journey then, I really believe that. Maybe sometimes we should just start to think about our self’s than everybody else. Because if we keep hate on each other, we will soon see world war 3, and I don’t think any one wants that to happen. I wish we could all respect each other, black and white, blue and yellow, bigger and smaller. Because at the end of the day we all human being on a journey that can end any time. It’s sad but it’s true,
Because life’s a journey.
Life’s a journey till the day it ends and when it ends there is no looking back or taking back. We had our changes only doomsday will show us if we wasted our time on our journey or if we enjoyed the journey and appreciated what we had. When we are at the end of our journey that’s when we have to face death. Many people forget we have to die because they might be afraid, but I’m not because it’s a part of life.
Life’s a journey till it ends.

Ignoring Many Hints Of Trouble
Remember when the truth was spoken,
And...
The people who spoke it dismissed.
Remember when the truth was spoken,
And...
The people who spoke it dismissed.
Ignoring many hints of trouble,
Only makes those troubles double up!
With a change of leadership,
It is believed by many a return to greed and prosperity...
Is within their reach to have it repeated.
However...
It is not the current leadership,
That drove their lives into the pits.
Or purchased their persuasions with investments made...
In monopolized businesses.
No!
That monkey sits on the wrong shoulders.
Those known in positions of leadership,
Are just pawns used regurgitating rhetoric.
With hopes to keep following sheep distracted.
Remember when the truth was spoken,
And...
The people who spoke it dismissed.
Remember when the truth was spoken,
And...
The people who spoke it dismissed.
Ignoring many hints of trouble,
Only makes those troubles double up!
Remember when the truth was spoken,
And...
The people who spoke it dismissed.
Remember it?
Remember it?
Ignoring many hints of trouble,
Only makes those troubles double up!
Ignoring many hints will double troubles.
Ignoring many hints will double troubles, up!
Ignoring many hints will double troubles.
Ignoring many hints will double troubles, up!
Ignoring many hints will double troubles, up!
Ignoring many hints will double troubles.

Sonnet- The World Today(6)
Are people sure of what they tend to do?
And why they do and how they do all things?
Their moral values are fast ebbing too,
They don’t care what evil effects it brings.
What risky feats yet worthless, they perform!
What stupid games for lucre’s sake, they play!
Ignoring risks to body, mind, life’s harm;
They do those things which give them better pay.
The multitude is equally to blame;
This world rewards and lauds such worthless men;
The average things they do are things of shame;
For money-making men, the world’s haven.
And people play on people’s passions much,
For that’s the money spinning magic touch.

Unbury my Inspiration
Where has my inspiration gone?
Where is it hiding?
It seems lost in my world
of thought and life.
Where Oh where could it be?
Is it hiding somewhere in this
palette called life? Or is it lost
in the translation of life?
It seems to have disappeared
without a trace and left me with
a mind as blank as the paper one
writes on. It seems I have lost my
inspiration amongst the things of
life. Now all I have to do is unbury it.
If It Had Not Been For Chemistry
I have never been here before.
To explore such views,
With anyone quite like you...
Full adventure and unafraid to explore.
Never before have I felt the student,
To allow myself to be taught...
By someone who brings,
A different insight to things.
If you had gone on another path,
I would have sat unchallenged.
And taken too much time,
To eventually let doubt have its way.
I can say today,
I am happy you found me sitting.
And owe meeting you to patience,
Somehow you knew for you it stayed.
I have never been here before.
To explore such views,
With anyone quite like you...
Full adventure and unafraid to explore.
'If it had not been for chemistry,
You and I would have only been here to see...
Just another someone else to forget and ignore,
As we continued on our separate journeys.'

Comfortable Complacency
And I've found myself in this comfortable complacency. Never fear what might be, or what could be, nor shall I commit to how it should be. I live my life like a eagle's feather in the wind.
I simply let the force of nature slip stream right through my already delicate broken life. The freedom to wander and be anything I want. You can't tie me down, for what good will one feather do. If I fall upon your nest, I can barely keep you warm, because there is only one of me. I'm enough for the moment, but the moment quickly comes to an end.
The breeze of life lifts me up higher and far away. You look into the sky wondering if I was ever even there. Not a trace can be found of me, yet you still remember how safe and secure you felt in the moment with me. You and I found our security and comfort within my complacency.

Still Here
I know that I'm someone
who's been here forever
and you do…
I know that we are young
and I know I shouldn't be
but I am…
Chorus
I know what people say
but I'm ignoring them
I know what you want
and you're drifting away
But you're still here, this is still right…
Forever and ever
End chorus
I know that they're wrong
that's why I'm writing this, baby
And I know we're together
through it all…
I know what people say
but I'm ignoring them
I know what you want
and you're drifting away
But you're still here, this is still right…
Forever and ever
I know that jealousy spreads
but I'm not the one who likes it
I‘m the one on the other side
everlasting…
I know what people say
but I'm ignoring them
I know what you want
and you're drifting away
But you're still here, this is still right…
Forever and ever
“The Journey Called Life”
From where I have started to where will I end,
The journey has been long, winding and tiring.
From nothing to something… it has never been an easy adventure.
I have been tried with luck; tried with hard works;
I am tried with pains and heartaches too…
I have found love and lost it… I have found new one, I’ve tried to keep it.
I have found friends and only few remains,
I have found money, but it never really stays.
The lesson of journey is uncontainable.
I want to move on as life is moving on…
I wish to move on with it, I want to go on its flow.
To an unpredictable journey called life,
Walking alone in this path, with guts and determination.
By God’s grace and guidance.
I want to continue the journey once more…
A journey where people would remember me
As a lady who won a million smiles and conquer goodbyes.
I keep on taking my unavoidable journey in this deep blue sea with struggles and hopes.
Until one day, my journey will bring me to my destiny, that’s then that I will be home.

Groovin With You
1) life can take us down some hard roads and we know not where to turn
Then we realize that were all alone just the sound of one voice in the night
Its a way of keeping things real, real life, a way of seeing yourself from the outside in
And it keeps our hearts beating so fast to the rythms of our soul the fear of life
Bridge-
When life turns you upside down
You look for love it cant be found
And people treat you like a clown
When life turns you upside down
-- so when Im all alone, I think of these times
And then Im groovin with you, begins to ease my mind
2) let the sounds escape into your heart explore the love that you can feel
Theres no trick to being real if you turn it on then you can do no wrong
Get lost in the rhymes and youll find that you can twist and shout it out
Everyday Im writing my songs I share em with you......... I hope you will sing along
Chorus -
Gotta open on up, gotta let it all out
Gotta open your mind, mind, mind, to what were talking about
Twist and shout it out everybody twist and shout it out
--so when Im all alone I think of these times
And then Im groovin with you, begins to ease my mind
3) if your serious about your life, get serious about your love
Cause what you throw out to the world will come right back and give you what we need
Because music is revelation when your looking for a sweet sensation sensual medication makes you high
Its a groove meditation, a soul saving occupation, put your head on vacation for the night

Ammunition
I know these roads
Each ridge
And narrow bridge
Each cheveron
Enticing me on
Each warning sign
I take in my stride
I dont need more ammunition
Ive got more than I can spend
I dont dwell on things Im missing
Im just pleased
With the things Ive found
I know these roads
An old hand understands
Above all, I know whats
Expected of me now
Veering cliffwards
I dont need more ammunition
Ive got more than I can spend
I dont dwell on things Im missing
Im just pleased
With the things Ive found
With the things Ive found
With the things Ive found
Ive found
Ive been crying
It comes back on these salient days
And it stays
And it says :
Weve never really been away
I dont need more ammunition
Ive got more than I can spend
I dont think of who Im missing
Ive got no space and no time
In my life, anymore
No space or time
In my life, anymore
For revenge

My Canadian Chronicles 008
Some people live with tortured souls
for wrongs they think they’ve done.
However, most of the things
they think they’ve done
are just imaginary.
We cast doubt upon ourselves
thinking people look down on us
all because one person has planted
that seed within our mind.
No one really knows what is right or wrong
when it comes to matters of the heart.
Only we know inside what is right for us.
Some bonds grow stronger
even without a wedding ring
and it matters little what others think.
All that ever matters is what is right for us.
Therefore, we should go through life
thinking only of those words
whichever way we have found happiness
that is the main thing in our lives.
Ignore those who maybe jealous
for they have never found
what is right for them.

Hardened And Tempered
I once was forsaken
Broken and blind
I was lost in the darkness
I was lost in my mind
Hardened and tempered
Refined of all dross
Hardened and tempered
Whatever the cost
And then I found Jesus
Now forever I'll be
Bathed in your beauty
Closer to thee
Hardened and tempered
And only for thee
Hardened and tempered
To thine arms I flee

Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet sensation
You really do something special to me
And theres nothing better
Than when youre lying in my arms
So glad we got together

Until you came along
And this feelings so strong
I should be working on something
But I aint got the time
Ive got you on my mind
Sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
The thought of you gives me butterflies
And I feel so happy
Whenever you reach out for me
This is how it should be
And Ive just got to be with you
Nothing else can compare
Just as long as youre there
And Ill never desert you
Cos you fill me with pride
Baby you changed my life
Sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
When I cant think clearly
Just one kiss is all I need
Then I look in your eyes
And I know, I know, I know, Im yours
Sweet inspiration
Through the nation
With elation for your love
Inspiration, sweet sensation
Sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
Baby youre my, sweet inspiration
