I Run to Comfort the Trees

I feel inside a need I must trust.
I wish to ignore those disturbed,
With urges to decrease signs of peace.
This disease I wish from them released.

I see outside a quietness.
When I arise to welcome Sun.
And before anyone comes with conflict to offer...
I run to comfort the trees.
Knowing they hear and see...
With few appreciating their tolerance.

Inside Is My Mecca

Inside is my mecca.
A peace that is complete!
Released is all conflict.
My mind is at ease.

Inside I find rainbows.
And cloudless blue sky.
I feel Sun rays beaming upon me.
I walk tall with pride,
Without surprise.

Inside is my love hold.
With strength that increases.
I show bliss reflected.
I am blessed to receive it.

Inside me are spirits.
Ancestors who live.
I am this gift given.
And treasured this is!

Inside I keep faith,
As a jewel I caress.
I nourish it to flourish.
And make each step...
Better placed,
Than the best steps I left!

Inside is my mecca.
A peace that is complete!
Released is all conflict.
My mind is at ease.

And as calm as a fresh breeze,
I am blessed to receive to breathe...
Before it leaves.

Not Knowing

Not knowing is worse...
Where to run to...
to have no one to hold you tightly and console is this not a curse?
but as for me who
do i have and whom may i turn to? whom may i trust
so many i wish to but my friendship turns to lust
my feelings melt into love
yearning for my more... when i should desire nothing...deserve no dove
deserve no one pure, for i am dirty...unclean
in this darkness my troubles teem
i drag myself deeper in to try to get to you...not knowing is worse
its a curse
not knowing if one is being ignored not knowing if what you turn to
is something that is real...not just real to you
Can you hear my voice im yelling now
i have been condemned by what i allow
sinking deeper just to have someone that i can touch
having something to turn to not being enough something to clutch
why can't i trust what saved me from the monster inside
why do i hide from Him and run to you
why do you ignore me and why do i feel ignored
why does my life not feel restored
I want to know who i am.. i want to know you too
tell me the reason we are distinct and so distant
but who can show me why i cannot trust the one who saved me, for this is not consistent

These Moments Seldom Arrive

There is no trust felt for someone,
The heart does not provide.
There is no convincing to be done.
This feeling does not hide.

There is not a word spoken that can be said,
To peel away or shed...
What the mind to the heart,
Shares and says.

If a comfort is missing...
Produced by a 'vibe' that dismisses it.
Do not insist with a persistence,
For something else that is wished.

A peace that is disturbed by an uneasy feeling...
Does not merit a welcome visit.
And being aware and conscious of it...
Saves one from despair.

And avoidance is the key!
Be it not with,
Or without...
An apology one needs.

These moments seldom arrive...
To offer a multiple choice.
It is what it is or isn't...
That's it!

Within

The comfort of one's place,
Does not come from the outside.
It is the comfort one has inside that reflects.
And that is kept rejuvenated from one's perception.

A development of one's peace of mind,
Over time is constructed.
And not determined by anyone's agenda.
The comfort kept that comes to one deserving is within.

'Any happiness I have is not based upon your decision.
I know this is traumatic.
And the more I stay away from that which isn't me...
I feel a peace increase I wish I could sell.'

Do You Want To Be Disturbed?

Do you want to be disturbed?
By your family
By your friend
By your relation
By unknown people

Do you want to be disturbed?
With their problem
With their need
With their worry
With their temptation

Do you want to be disturbed?
In inconvenient place
In unexpected moment
In weary condition
In mixed emotion

Do you want to be disturbed?
And will you be glad
And will you grumble
And will you ignore
And will you be generous

Do you want to be disturbed?
And still give your ears
And still give your hands
And still give your smile
And still give your hour

What Is the Wind For?

What is the wind for?
If it's not for songs in trees;
What is the wind for?
I feel a song inside of me.
Every day the wind blows,
I think of thoughts from my heart.
Wind melodies come and they go,
Without me knowing where they start.
What is the wind for?
If not for songs like these.
What is the wind for?
If not for songs in trees.
I have been going through life,
Both with comfort and pain.
I have been going through life,
Both with effect and in vain.
But still I hear wind songs,
As they steadily grow;
With melodies chanting,
That no one really knows.

Teach Me To Trust

Maybe because its too good to be true
Maybe because I want it so much
Maybe I fear you dont really mean it
For I feel Im never enough
But I want you more
Than I ever wanted
Anything I can recall
But something inside
Keeps saying youll hurt me
Do I dare to trust it at all
Chorus:
Teach me to trust
Darling you must
Or else Ill go out of my mind
When Im not near you
I always fear you
Have somebody else on the line
Is it a fear
Or is it a knowing
A jealousy born out of truth
cause I watch you flirt
And its how you embrace
Them with your eyes
That say I could lose
2nd chorus:
Teach me to trust
Make me feel loved
Tell me Ive no need to fear
Just make me feel safe
Whatever it takes
Tell me what I need to hear
cause I need to feel
Important and special
Your cherished and only true love
And sometimes I think
Ill die from this feeling
If you dont teach me to trust
Tag:
Cant you reach me
And teach me to trust

What It Took for Me To Get Here

Perhaps I am old fashion.
With a joy of having peace...
And surrounded by quietness,
I've discovered I love alot.
But I can not live within my home,
With rooms that are closed.
And each padlocked.
That's why I refuse to share my space,
With those who have issues.
And I trust not.

'You have enough space.
We could share as room-mates.
We can split expenses.
Doesn't that make sense? '

Perhaps I am old fashion.
With a joy of having peace...
And surrounded by quietness,
I've discovered I love alot.
But I can not live within my home,
With rooms that are closed.
And each padlocked.
That's why I refuse to share my space,
With those who have issues.
And I trust not.

'Trust?
I'm talking about saving us both a few bucks.'

Perhaps I am old fashion.
With a joy of having peace...
And surrounded by quietness,
I've discovered I love alot.
But I can not live within my home,
With rooms that are closed.
And each padlocked.
That's why I refuse to share my space,
With those who have issues.
And I trust not.

'What are you saying?
You can't use a few more dollars,
In your pocket?
Allowing you to breathe.
Economically and more freely? '

Perhaps I am old fashion.
With a joy of having peace...
And surrounded by quietness,
I've discovered I love alot.
But I can not live within my home,
With rooms that are closed.
And each padlocked.
That's why I refuse to share my space,
With those who have issues.
And I trust not.

'So you are saying you prefer to live alone?
Even though you are tight on funds? '

I wouldn't trade this for a million dollars.
Or a feast I could eat everyday,
To have my life any other way.
You have no idea,
What it took for me to get here.

I Want

(Translation To: Ich Will)

I want...

I want you to trust me
I want you to believe me
I want to feel your eyes
I want to control every heartbeat

I want to hear your voices
I want to disturb the peace
I want you to see me well
I want you to understand me

I want your fantasy
I want your energy
I want to see your hands
I want to go down in applause

Do you see me?
Do you understand me?
Do you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Can you hear me?
We hear you
Can you see me?
We see you
Can you feel me?
We feel you
I don't understand you

I want...

We want you to trust us
We want you to believe everything from us
We want to see your hands
We want to go down in applause - yeah

Can you hear me?
We hear you
Can you see me?
We see you
Can you feel me?
We feel you
I don't understand you

Can you hear us?

Can you see us?

Can you feel us?
We feel you
We don't understand you

There Is Something About Having Peace

Everywhere I have been,
To travel and/or live.
I made it my choice,
To meet and share with different people.

I've been creative all my life.
And nothing about it is a mystery.
With an experiencing of it done,
On various stages.
Under spotlight.
And alone emotionally.

And today I can say,
I would have to think hard...
To express regret.
Every breath of life I have been given,
I am thankful to feel so blessed.

For anyone to recommend,
Or to me suggest...
What it is I should do with my time,
Have no idea...
The joy I have with peace of mind.

And that peace of mind is mine to define.
With a seeking I do not do,
To anyone to explain what I have gone through...
With a welcoming of it to keep.
And prepared to defend it,
From nosey busy bodies if I have to!

I wasn't born yesterday,
With a searching for compatible companionship.
Or sharing my life in an argumentative relationship.
Trust me...
I have donated.
And my charity work has been done.
There is something about having peace...
With a quietness on a daily basis released,
That I have learned to love and appreciate.

I've Just Come Back From Having a 'Moment

When I sit and visit with nature,
In a surrounded quietness.
I've come to eliminate any hints of conflict,
Others may share...
From an environment that permits it.

Nothing is like one's solitude at times.
It energizes with such purety.
Like air free of toxins.
And a mind relaxed,
Of pressures that come.
To undo peace that's done.

When I sit and visit with nature,
I am more aware of the leaves on trees.
I am aware of the difference between Pine and Oak.
And the array of birds sitting on their branches to chirp,
And sing.

Aware am I of the drifting clouds.
From East to West and sometimes reversed.
So aware am I when I leave this scene...
I do not thirst to hear those who habitually curse.
It unnerves my inner peace!
That peace I try to hold onto...
As I unball my fists.
That peace I try to hold onto...
As I bite my lower lip!

'Good Morning, how are you? '

*WHAT? What do you want? *

'I'm just saying good morning!
No offense.'

*I apologize. Forgive me.
I have just come back from having a 'moment'! *

Peace and Conflict

Peace is laughter ike a musical bell,
Conflict is people crying,
Peace is everything being well,
Conflit is people dieing,
Peace is a very wonderful thing,
Conflict can be used t pursue peace,
Peace is a sound that makes you sing,
Conflict is the least luxurious thing,
Peace is sought after
And sometimes found,
Confit is punishment,
Paying the price,
Peace is being on safe ground,
Conflict makes people with heart of ice,
Peace you find in your heart,
Conflict tears our minds apart,
So remember these words and you'll live well,
Peace is laughter like a musical bell...

Oranges On Apple Trees

Oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
Oranges on apple trees
Water comes and water goes
Where it ends up no one really knows
Water rises, water falls
Where it comes from no one knows for sure
It seeps from every pore
We have seen the rain before
Not like this - its flooding every shore
People come and people go
I can hear their laughter through the door
But no ones keeping score
Oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
One big happy family
Endless possibilities
(yeah and more)
Oranges and apple trees
I see your face in front of me
Cant believe what no one else could see
I feel it deep inside of me
Everything we love shall be released
And everyone will see
Oranges on apple trees (for sure)
I used to be the only one
Not now since youve come
You and I have seen the signs
Thats why the wind died
The wind died
Thats why oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
Endless possibilities (now)
Oranges on apple trees
All the things that we can see
Multi-gender wannabes
Oranges on apple trees
Birds that mate with bumblebees
One big happy family
Endless possibilities (yeah yeah yeah)
Oranges on apple trees (for sure)

Flower was a good metaphor for growth. The song is obviously about sexual responsibility, so that was the main metaphor. Also, it's like knowing who someone has been and remembering and appreciating that, but really appreciating what they are now even more.

Conditional Sanctuary

You may take some comfort here behind my hedge,
But, if you do, I must insist you rarely speak. I do
Not want to hear of what you bought today when
You were shopping, or of the disgusting products,
Churned out on assembly lines, which you decided
You should eat. I do not want to talk about
Celebrities or any of the vile doings of the faceless
Frauds who buzz in legislatures, pulled along by,
As they're pushing on the strings of our colossus,
Run amok from sea to sea. I do not want my peace
Disturbed. If you should speak, then note the
Silence of my guards, the arching trees, and say
You now can hear the birds, whose calls don't
Carry very far, and say you're fine with sitting,
Watching wind upon the grain below, and
Shadows slowly growing longer. Say, in short,
You understand why almost no one is invited
Here behind my hedge.

Have Peace

I have peace in the air this day,
The atoms of our bodies are in peace;
We stagger with uneasiness as we say,
The peaceful remains of ours are to cease.

May living carry news of peace,
May we jointly condemn the war;
Our dying contained disease to decrease,
With our own warning we are afar.

The living quality must be resumed,
By the moon we swear an allegiance
To the one who lived and is presumed
To be not dead yet, without absence.

May peace now thrive and seek new stories,
Never let it hinder your school of thought,
Never let it multiply like bacteria and abnormalities,
Justice carried peace after too much was sought.

E

E is for the comfort,
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it

More Of A Peace That Is Wished

Why is it,
There are those who can not accept...
Someone announcing a desire,
To live peacefully in a quietness...
Is actually someone who seeks attention?
And those who ignore them,
Believe what they do is noticed?
With a providing,
Of even more of a peace that is wished.

Part of the All

Why do I feel blessed,
And offer my condolences?
Well...
You can only relate to that
Which expresses
The experiences 'within' your exposed understanding...
Of a world you've been taught is centered around you!
And 'that' I have understood most of my life.
Me?
It took me a while to realize,
I was raised knowing
I am part of the all!
Leaving me free,
With the ability and comfort of knowing...
It is easier for me,
Just to be able to relate!
And that has been a whole lot less stressful.
I am not concerned about comparisons...
Or divisions.
