Voices in the Wind

Once honor ruled while necessity and obedience made it a common courtesy
Slowly like sand in an hourglass time flowed while life was lived
Death celebrated and memories stored
Tepid breezes emboldened by a perfect sun caressed the planet
Then like a thief in the night tempest dredged from the bowels of hell
Beseeched the planet and the voice in the wind was silenced
Turmoil ruled the planet and war became the glorified hero assessing his power over all living tribes
Under the yoke of dread the people labored the strong grew wicked and disagreeable
Not only life but nature turned her back upon such disrespect
Brazen disregard and poor judgment had altered the gift of the onetime perfect plan
Foul air and water, the oceans emptied of its bountiful creatures
Warfare became a daily pitch, greed, terror, bombs and death
Answered was only the trumpet's call for destruction
Heed the voice in the Wind for time is short to heal the wounds
In the end nothing will matter
When nourishment flows from your breast mother instill love, not hate, compassion not neglect
Neither Jew nor Arab, black or white, rich or poor has preference in the terrestrial realm
Most wonderful is the beauty of a morning meadow in the sunrise compared to barren rubble strewn over the land
It has been said before, how many years counted by the hundreds have to pass like sand through the hourglass
Before we all realize that all is nothing and nothing is all.

From The Void To Overjoyed

In the beginning the Lord created a great deep,
So deep that no eye saw anything but obscurity.
This deep we now by name call the heavens,
Accompanied by the creation of great vacancy
A formless void that is uninterrupted by shapes.
It is the undefinable foundation for that yet to form,
A place we now think of as the planet earth,
Which passed the tests of the primeval, perfect storm.

Now with this creation comes the beginning of time,
And for measurement a transparent hourglass,
With an exact amount of sand enclosed within,
Which has until this moment been at an impasse.
Not a grain has been able to pass the constriction,
Until the Creator has commanded it to go.
As the primal beauty comes into existence,
Change enacts sand to fall in the chamber below.

With the passage of time within the hourglass
The Lord’s creation enlarges and expands;
It becomes the abode for another creation
The harvest of the Lord’s desires becomes Man.
To Man the hourglass is a no longer fashionable,
And it may even seem to be ruling his day.
So he looks to the Lord for a savior
For someone who-win or lose-will want to play.

The solution from the LORD is Woman,
A helpmate fashioned of Man’s own bone.
His dream has become his reward,
And She seems even better than homegrown.
Her figure is the perfect hourglass,
And her countenance is a bonny display.
Plainly It seems Man never saw the lady coming,
Since his plain morning bird became his bird of prey.

Planet Of Dreams

Nothing on smoke today
Nothing dies on the wing
Wings been losing time
An anarchy born in pain
Pain that comes and goes
It goes against all you see
You see I got gables eyes
And eisenhower blames the poor
The poor huddled on the curb
Gotta get back in shape
Were backing up a major plan
Were treading on ? ? ? ? lights
Were walking under golden sun
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet of dreams
Were living in a planet

Hourglass Sand

Through the hourglass
watching
grains of sand falling.
I see time slipping by.

To myself I wonder.
Do we pass with such ease
through the hourglass of life?
Like tiny grains of sand cascading?

When that sand has gone.
Does that mean time has stopped
until I turn the glass over?
And the sand again begins to fall.

Through our hourglass
as we pass like grains of sand.
How many frowns can we turn to smiles?
How much good can we make from bad?

When our sand has run out.
Has our time stopped as well?
Who will turn over our hourglass?
Restart our time renew our opportunities?

So Many Look Up To The Wealthy

Why so many respect oil barons and mining magnates
Is something I could never understand
When these people only take from Mother Nature
They foul her oceans and pollute her land.

Because of them marine and land life becoming rarer
And species becoming extinct every day
For interfering with the environment
There has to be a price as such to pay.

So many wildborn creatures near extinction
And animals and birds becoming rare
Due to deforestation and mining and oil drilling
And far too few for Nature seem to care.

So many look up to the wealthy tycoons
But somehow they do not seem to realize
That they rob Mother Nature of her beauty
Pollute the land and seas and smog the skies.

Some have become billionaires out of stealing from Mother Nature
And a most luxurious lifestyle they enjoy
Still because of them the Planet all the poorer
They pollute the land and sea and smog the sky.

Those who look up to those who defile Nature
Perhaps somehow don't seem to understand
That because of them Planet Earth all the poorer
Since they pollute the ocean and the land.

Save The Oceans And Save The Seas

Oil and water do not mix,
this oil slick has no quick fix.
The dark black goo not only affects me and you,
but SEA LIFE in our OCEANS too.

We must STAND UP for all LIFE under the SEA,
or there won’t be any left in our ECOLOGY.

Save the OCEANS and save the SEAS,
or the SEA CREATURES have no DESTINY.

This oil mess was made by greed,
we must take the LEAD
in cleaning up the GULFSTREAM.

We must STAND TOGETHER all of as ONE,
as one people UNITED under the SUN.

This is our PLANET that we all SHARE,
with other LIVING creatures
WHO need our LOVE and CARE.

We must pray for the sea’s mammals, fishes and BIRDS too.
We must all PRAY TOGETHER me and YOU.

Save the OCEANS and save the SEAS,
for the SEA CREATURES to have a DESTINY.

For Human Greed

We may as well try to find another Planet to live on
Since people they cannot live on the Moon
And Mother Earth the Planet that sustains us
We in our fits of madness choose to ruin.

And perhaps there's not another Planet out there
For human beings to live on and destroy
'Twould seem indeed that the price of human progress
Comes at a cost and the cost seems far too high.

Each day more creatures of extinction endangered
When the land they live on we choose to invade
And extinction sad to say it is forever
For human greed the price has to be paid.

We are paving the way to our own extinction
Where humans live pollution becomes rife
The World will not end with the death of the last human
And Nature will do nicely without human life.

We had better find another Planet to live on
Or become extinct as a species that's our choice
As we are making the Planet we live on for us quite unlivable
For human greed that seems too high a price.

Heal The Waters…

In light of the recent Gulf of Mexico disaster we know,
recklessness has humankind at the brink of extinction.

We must now come together in prayer and meditation,
to heal the great waters of all the oceans in the world.

It is time to recognize the true power of human beings,
and know that dis-ease is healed through positive intention.

Take time each day to express gratitude for the living waters,
within and around you.

ROTMS

Offer this prayer;

“I am grateful for Water, the water I use in my daily life,
the water within my body & the water on our planet.
I send my Gratitude now through this Song into the Living Waters of our Planet.
I intend that all water is healed, clear of any disharmony
and vibrating at the highest frequency of Peace and Oneness.

I honor our sisters and brothers who live within the waters
and remember that they are part of our Earth family, our global tribe.

I am grateful that all Humans awaken to
the interconnectedness of all of life and now act from a place of honoring all life.

This day I offer my Voice as a resonating prayer of Peace and Healing.
As I sing the One Song, I fill myself with Peace and Gratitude and
send this vibration and intention through the Song into the waters,
into the oceans and to all of life on our Living Planet.

I remember that I am a creator and
I choose this day to create Peace and Healing within the Water.

I Breathe in Peace, I Breathe out Peace,
I breathe Conscious Breaths filled with my intentions of Peace.

I am grateful that there is now Peace in the Water.”

Unimportant

We live on a planet that teems with life
and while we enjoy our lives
we give no second thoughts to the lives we destroy
and the destruction of their homes.
Half the time we think them unimportant
within the natural scheme of things.
Each creature on this planet
has its role to play.
We only share this planet
and we should take care of it,
not only for ourselves,
but also for everything that lives on it.
Sitting in my garden,
I can observe many things
from the plants to the insects.
Although we may not realize
they are just as important
to our survival as we are to theirs.
We should take heed to this warning
where ever we may live
and always look before we leap
for one day all the beauty our eyes behold
may one day disappear before us
and then only a barren landscape
is all we will behold.

PRECIOUS EARTH AND PRECIOUS SUN

We praise you sister Sun and mother Earth,

for being there at the time of our birth.

for giving us flowers to smell, and birds and insects

To hear as well.

We praise Precious Sun you for all of your warmth

you bring to us every day,

We praise you Mother Earth when we holds our hands together to pray

Along with all the creatures you brought here to play.

All of us on the planet praise you Precious Earth and Precious Sun.

Nature Defends

Disasters aplenty, run-rampant today
Why? You may ask with look of dismay

What causes natural disasters you naively inquire
Mother earth fights for herself with water and fire

Defending with great winds and terrible quakes
Polar icecaps melting and pandemic outbreaks

She’s taken mankind’s abuse for hundreds of years
Exploited by amoral and depraved profiteers

She’s had more than enough, her patience grew thin
The wicked against her fight a war they won’t win

“I will burn them, flood them and shake them to bits”
Till the will of mankind bends and submits”

Mother Earth, made perfect by Gods Loving Hands
Created azure skies, blue waters, bountiful lands

Seeding water, land with life great and small
Providing bounteous food for one and for all

Why has mankind taken more than his God-Given share
Despoiled Earth Mother’s water, soil and polluted her air

The answer’s complex, not easy to voice
Only one word comes close, that word is “choice”

Poor choices, judgment in what mankind has done
Defiling their home with cruel aberration

So what must man do to set things right
He must love Mother Earth, stop causing such blight

Banish internal darkness, take in God’s Light
Reclaim his saneness, clear his eyesight

Restore duty-bound stewardship, regain command
Of oceans, skies and all expanses of land

No alternatives exist to these actions, as time has run out
Of this...
Earth Mother is certain with no exception or doubt

We're Still Here The Humans Have Died

The animals on Earth have decided to meet,
Almost every life form will have a seat,
The Human Race have not been invited,
The reason is we have been indicted.

For mass destruction you stand accused,
The world's resources you have abused,
It has to be said at all others expense,
For neglect of duty there is no defence.

Rainforests decimated, oceans polluted,
All over the planet your destruction's commuted,
In the name of God you continue to destroy,
That '' superior'' intelligence you refuse to deploy.

As the planet warms extinctions grow faster,
You refuse to believe because you are the master,
Master of destruction should be your title,
Vast wealth over health to you is more vital.

While you hunted for diamonds and precious metals,
You failed to notice all the dying petals,
Due to greed and corruption there is nothing left,
Of common sense you are all bereft.

As the food ran out your minds were elsewhere,
So long as you were rich you just didn't care,
The water evaporated until there was none,
Caused by your negligence and the warming sun.

Then came the day you all started to cry,
Our planets oil had finally run dry,
Suddenly humankind had run out of hope,
Without their black gold they could no longer cope.

Their lives were in turmoil so they started to fight,
Although killing each other will never be right,
We just sat back and watched the destruction,
You're all fully versed in causing a ruction.

After a nuclear holocaust the fighting ended,
With you all gone now the Earth could be mended,
Extinctions are now a thing of the past,
Your cruelty and neglect left us all aghast.

We did you no harm yet it's us you deprived,
If you'd heeded the warnings all life could have thrived,
But our summit is over we've been vilified,

‘' We're still Here The Humans Have Died ‘'

Time Stands Still

Twelve months of the year
Concern us when we have the life.
There is a black sea on all of our eyes,
Inside our eyes colours flow for all-mankind.
This time is perfect for legal thoughts
That travel when visits to clocks are made.
My issue is with the world as a planet,
And the planet as annexation;
My maids travelled here before this time
To scare us with beauty.

My time for glory awaits me
Like some wounded soldier of the stars,
The soldier called Time.
I back away from him,
As I am scared.

take the test and do your best
watch you burn you life away

everybody's teaching you
trying to tell you what to do
if you listen you will find
that you can open up your mind
you can open up your mind

and I just can't wait for another day
and I can't sleep cause I'm to afraid
and I don't know where I'm gawn end up next

Flyng At Night

five billion years away
a planet turns,
turning a million years
this side of the planet
and my heart beats
each beats
a million years
the other side of another planet
the distance that shortens
the years
as we watch a foreign body
five billion years away
a billion years passed
a universe caught in time
an eagle flaps its wing
each flag
a million years pass
that side of the planet
time is where you are
it walks away from you
as you walk away from it

inspired by

Flying at Night
Above us, stars. Beneath us, constellations.
Five billion miles away, a galaxy dies
like a snowflake falling on water. Below us,
some farmer, feeling the chill of that distant death,
snaps on his yard light, drawing his sheds and barn
back into the little system of his care.
All night, the cities, like shimmering novas,
tug with bright streets at lonely lights like his.

Planet Earth

I heard a girl in a dress
Say her face was a mess
I heard theres no reason why
I heard that nows the time to buy
On planet earth
Ill probably stay
On planet earth
Its a place to live your life
Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it wont rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well I lived all my life on planet earth
I saw a girl lose all control
When she lost her new mink stole
I saw her try to catch a man
Things I couldnt understand
On planet earth
Ill probably stay
On planet earth
Its a place to live your life
Where pleasure follows pain
People go insane
Fly around in planes
Pray that it wont rain
Drive around in cars
Get drunk in local bars
Dream of being stars
Well I lived all my life on planet earth
I saw a man on a stage
Scream put me back in my cage
I saw him hang by his tie
I saw enough to make me cry
On planet earth
On planet earth
I lived all my life on planet earth
I lived all my life on planet earth
On planet earth

The Hourglass

The Hourglass
By: Adam M. Snow

The hourglass drops grains of sand;
with thy one I take in hand.
For time will soon cease and end in fear;
for they would come and disappear.

The hourglass falls at the end;
for there will be no one left to befriend.
When the last sand falls;
the writings will be shown on the walls.

The hourglass shown thy pain;
for the light will soon rain.
The hourglass drops grains of sand;
with thy one I take in hand.

Our Heav'nly Race

Just two, two choices we’ve got on this planet:

life, life and death, death;

life on earth, eternal life in heav’n above,

and death here on earth, eternal death in hell below.

But questions, questions ask we ourselves below:

‘How do we live here on this planet? ’

‘what’s our rewards aft’r death? ’

Death is inevitable gentle young man:

plants die, animals die, we too must die

and sleep in Mr. Death’s grave;

we must die in flesh, not on soul returning to God.

Isaiah holiness, let’s accept

that our death may be our sweet pillow for rest

or we due to second death eternal in hell!

To Tame A Land

He is the king of all the land
In the kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow
He rules the sandworms and the fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow
He is destined to be a king
He rules over everything
On the land called planet dune
Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet dune
Without the stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called arrakis
It is a land thats rich in spice
The sandriders and the mice
That they call the muad dib
He is the kwizatz haderach
He is born of caladan
And will take the gom jabbar
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him
To lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes
Theyll be cut down
Youll see hell be the
Best that theres been
Messiah supreme
True leader of men
And when the time
For judgements at hand
Dont fret hes strong
And hell make a stand
Against evil the fire
That spreads through the land
He has the power
To make it all end

Dunes

oh! man. remember the day when you are born, the sky that
twinkle in your eyes, as the sea breeze, in the dunes of sand,
tranquil, in the luminous pavement of water beneath your
mother's tear

you have chatter the fears of death, of which the stings of pain,
labour in the weary sweat of your father hand has come to sprout
like orchards green of graves in the blue sky in your mother
dream

a dunes, that whisper the cool olive oil in the green leaves of
summer in the meadow of oasis of desert from the storm in the,
night of the skies, waiting to capture the smiling faces of your
loved father and mother cribs

like a cheddar, full of tasted cream of cheese, in every tongue,
awaits to capture the aroma of judgment in our hearts, so
especial, that every wind calls our spirit to mingle every direction
it brings

each pieces of sand, leads us to a place, where the emptied
soul, find its meaning of being one in the darkness of uncertainty
a call for, to follow the segment of our life in the course of nature
tranquility

life is what we make it, a wind that redirect us to focus ourselves,
the dunes of where we have to follow, where the cooled wind,
will brings to the sea of life everlasting

' let the dunes be, a dunes to other in the great blue ocean of God'

Amoureuse

(sanson/osborne)
Strands of light on our bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
Im awake but this is not my home
For the first time Im not alone
Reaching out I touch anothers skin
Breathing out as hes breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same
I should have told him
That Id do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flowed
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasy will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last
I should have told him
That Id do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
