Mangroves I Behold You As Child Miracles
mangroves I behold you as child miracles
finger nail of life growing at sea margins
saline coastal sediments hostile habitats
tropics subtropics as medium height trees
or shrubs life roots rise up in harsh muds
brackish water intolerable deals no death
pure death salt seawater is your life drink
water concentrated by evaporation twice
thrice salinity of ocean seawater you sip
sedately 30 to 90 ppt distill measure thirst
saline woodland saline shrubland habitats
miracle life blossoms as treasured forests
mangrove swamp mud shelter miracle lives
mangrove forest or mangal environments
protected from high-energy wave actions
areas of depositional coastal fine sediments
high organic content safe embrace shelters
tidal areas washed hold life harsh secrets
mangrove estuaries line marine shorelines
are finger nail life intertidal miracle shelters

Miracle Of Life
Hold on to the miracle of life...
Sacred lives emotions been washed away like mud.
You dont want my devotion;
Youd rather be washed in blood.
Can we turn away from this open anger?
Can it all betray?
Cant you feel the danger to the miracle of life.
Sing when open hearts are calling,
Shout with open eyes (to the miracle of life)
Far below the deepest treasure
To the miracle of life
Living in times of luster, waiting for the flood.
We dont agree with your concepts;
Youd rather be washed in blood.
Is it any wonder? (in my lifetime)
Cold depth of blue water...
Is it any wonder? (in my lifetime)
Rising tide to slaughter...
Sing when open hearts are calling,
Shout with open eyes (to the miracle of life)
Far below your deepest pleasure
To the miracle of life

And I feel fine
Come watch the sun light the sky
And sip a coffee you and i

Whats just another day to one man

Oh well hello sweet sanity

And thats a miracle to me

Now good morning love
And how are you

A bit too chearful to be true
Excuse me if I shed a little tear joyfully
But when your hands in my hand
Yeah when a woman really loves a man

Our Miracles
OUR MIRACLES
it is a miracle
when we wake up in the morning
with a smile to greet the morning sunrise
no matter our worries
and can end the day with a ray of hope
to bid goodbye to sunset
knowing that you have a great Provider
it is the miracle of life
you are not alone
you have the miracle of friendship,
love and working together
this is the greatest miracle
the miracle we take for granted
people who are humble,
who listen and forgive
looking at things and taking a fresh perspective
these are our miracles
the miracle of reconciliation
miracles happen everyday
you'll meet them everywhere
just look at the brighter side of life
and know that God is on your side
these are our miracles
the miracle of God's boundless and selfless love

Miracle
Many roads Ive travelled
And faces Ive seen
Each tells a story
Of what might have been
A missed golden moment
But life still remains
A search for the innocence
Somehow we lost on the way
And we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle is you
Now the silence that follows
The last curtain call
I dont know anyone
Who has come through it all
You gave me direction
A part in your cast
No longer make believe
Now that I know it will last
Cos we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle
And I believe my miracle
I believe my miracle
Yes I believe my miracle is you

Water Scarcity
Can't go swimming?
Less water to drink.
Try to store up,
And gear up.
No power supply,
Because there's no water.
Water is so meagre,
Try to use it acceptably.
Make a water check in all dams,
And compare.
Water is present everywhere,
Sadly, it's all saline.
Rain drops are guests to our earth,
But we don't summon them properly.
Earth is globally warmed,
So glaciers turn to saline.
Store up the paltry water,
Use it suitably and precisely,
And conserve it for next use.

Miracle Fair
Commonplace miracle:
that so many commonplace miracles happen.
An ordinary miracle:
in the dead of night
the barking of invisible dogs.
One miracle out of many:
a small, airy cloud
yet it can block a large and heavy moon.
Several miracles in one:
an alder tree reflected in the water,
and that it's backwards left to right
and that it grows there, crown down
and never reaches the bottom,
even though the water is shallow.
An everyday miracle:
winds weak to moderate
turning gusty in storms.
First among equal miracles:
cows are cows.
Second to none:
just this orchard
from just that seed.
A miracle without a cape and top hat:
scattering white doves.
A miracle, for what else could you call it:
today the sun rose at three-fourteen
and will set at eight-o-one.
A miracle, less surprising than it should be:
even though the hand has fewer than six fingers,
it still has more than four.
A miracle, just take a look around:
the world is everywhere.
An additional miracle, as everything is additional:
the unthinkable
is thinkable.

Africa with Magic and Miracle
The magic of africa is in africa
magic shine only in your heart
while miracle shine all around

magic cann't save life
than death yet some come every

looting stealing
our magic with happiness
unknowing to them that

miracle is full of joyfulness
africans remain joyfull because
of the greatness in miracle
miracle cann't be stolen
miracle is not a property

africans rejoice

but miracle remain miracle
magic is happiness while
miracle is joyfulness
Africa africa africa
joyfulness is better
than happiness.

Miracles
I am a miracle.
Didn't you know?
But when you look from the outside,
One wouldn't think so.
Look into my heart
And you will find him there;
The one with the secrets.
I am a miracle.
Haven't you heard?
The man of great dreams
First told me the word;
Miracles! Miracles!
Never expected!
From the scars in his hands
Set free! Protected!
You can be a miracle.
Haven't they told?
Become born again
And beside him grow old.
Look into your heart.
Search for him there.
And speak to the man with the secrets.
A World Of Love
I was so lonely before you my love.
I had forty years of loneliness drowning my soul.
Forty years of loneliness from tears never cried.
Tears collected from forty years of bitter salt life.
Tears uncried formed an ocean of bitter salt tears.
Bitter salt tears can drown or pickle a weaker soul.
I have waited for you for forty years my love.
The first miracle was the miracle of my first meeting you.
When angels stood among us; during the miracle; of dancing with you.
Since then I have beheld; an incredible transformation; miracle my love.
Since then you have turned; tsunami divided an ocean; of bitter salt tears.
Transfiguration brine sea; into the sweetest of chilled; summer red wine.
Through the miracle of love; the world will be drunk; on spiritual love.
Who would have ever thought; that a flood of love; would come to rein.
A second flood that would save; wash clean an entire world.
A flood of love that would wash; clean all sins of earth world.
Washed clean slowly over gospel time; suddenly as waters of life
gather turn barren wastes; parched deserts into fertile lands of love.

Water of life
Crystal drops falling from the sky
Bringing life to the dry
Growing plants reach for the sky as they start growing on high
It cures your thirst and cleans the dirt
Water does not choose who is rich or poor, hate or love
It comes from the heavens above sent to us from God with love…
Water in a glass, water in your bath, shower, water in the sea, water in a dam, water in a river and even water in a mother’s womb.
The realization that water is important becomes disrespected
Everyone goes on with everyday life while the water is being infected.
Water may bring life but it can also cut through cities and towns like a knife.
Tsunamis, floods it does not choose who to struck but when it comes you know your...
Take a moment and think to yourself
What water means to your health
Say thank you and stand up for what you believe in as this is one of the only sources of life that cannot be taken away.

Waiting For A Miracle
Baby, I've been waiting...
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time...
and I waited half my life away.
There were lots of invitations,
and I know you sent me some...
but I was waiting...
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
I know you really loved me,
but, you see, my hands were tied.
I know it must have hurt you,
it must have hurt your pride...
to have to stand beneath my window
with your bugle and your drum,
and me I'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come
Ah I don't believe you'd like it,
You wouldn't like it here.
There ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
The Maestro says it's Mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Waiting for the miracle

I Never Thought I'd See The Day
you shed a shadow on my life
shed a shadow on a love
took the shelter out of my life
took the shelter of a lie
i could see it in your restless eyes
the truth i was hiding
the truth you could not disguise
but i never thought i'd see the day
i knew i'd need a miracle to make you stay
i knew
i needed
a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day
you put a shadow on a love
took a shelter of a lie
took the shelter out of my life
i wish you could shelter me
shelter me now
i need a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day

I Need A Miracle
I need a woman bout twice my age
A lady of nobility, gentility and rage
Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw
Well go right through the book and break each and every law.
I got a feeling and it wont go away, oh no
Just one thing then Ill be ok
I need a miracle every day.
I need a woman bout twice my height
Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night.
Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue
Well consult the spirits maybe theyll know what to do.
And its real and it wont go away, oh no
I cant get around and I cant run away
I need a miracle every day.
I need a woman bout twice my weight
A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her freight
Find her in a sideshow leave her in l.a.
Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave.
And its real, believe what I say, yeah
Just one thing I got to say
I need a miracle every day.
It takes dynamite to get me up
Too much of everything is just enough
One more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day, (got to be the only way)
I need a miracle

Indignations
My Lord and I decided...
That we were so divided
And He took me aside
And told me to boost my pride!
I told Him I was weakened,
By everyday life...
And 'tripping' people sneaking.
I wanted to hold on,
But something in my life was gone.
I was wrong.
And He whispered..
Don't let what other people say or see.
If they knew about Me
They would send a pray My way.
But they wont listen to a word in peace.
And I am not about that,
Get yourself right back on track.
Don't let this go or fade away.
Devoted loyalty to Him I need to keep,
But it's tempting to pretend
That the Lord is not listening to me.
Then He sent me a miracle.
I saw myself alone.
Without God in my home.
Then He sent me a miracle.
I saw my every step...
Without God there protecting me.
Yes He sent me a miracle
That showed my journey blocked,
Without My Savior or my faith
There to shock and stop these deeds!
He sent me a miracle...
That showed me
Without God,
I wouldn't be!
This is the miracle God made me see!
Without this miracle there would be no us,
To call we!
Or self-righteous indignations shared.

The New Cemetery Land
That is the Wide New Cemetery Land
The people still to make smooth on the land
Extracted from cassava trees
Cleaned from grassland
To stick out, protrude over the borders
Barbed wire fence
I stand and saw spread around
Wide spread eyes could a glance
Along to the south
On the brown land and sand
Fenced marsh
Wild large frog, spinach
Mangrove
To appear from low tide
Mixed with the ocean water
I went out
Through the gate
Till I catch the pure consciousness
On to the real life
Wake up from dream
Ah, it is still at five o’clock
I wrote down and to muse
Through ink which I scoop out
From the deep of feeling
From trough of my hearth
When the morning air flow
Felt fresh and joy
Also the death shadow
I have to pick up
With joy, without sorrow
Like the earth who never
To moan of death rattle
Always receive the whole
Death all of us

The Sea So Deep
the sea so deep
it never sleeps
by day or night
it lives on the fight
against the rocky coast
which is its host
rushing ramming
against its side
then it (wave water) does
a quick fast dive.
down below
its calmer there
for no waves roll
way down here
ocean surge
current swell
foaming water
tales to tell
marine life dwells
in tidal margins
lunar pull water turns
undercurrents chargin

The dark night of the soul
Not death - no poem's yet been writ
on that - but that dark door and passage
where everything, all that one knows of life
must be surrendered, in the service
of a brighter light, a brighter life...
Only those who apprehend the soul
in all her glory, must submit
when time calls time, and there descends
that total darkness of the mind
which wipes out any thought of things
created; any sense of former life;
any creature that might say
I’ve done my best, so take me, God…
no, there’s nothing left, when hope
is as it never were; or ever named;
truth no longer means a thing beyond
this total darkness, which could not be more true;
eternity, pure timeless state of nothingness,
nightmare without movement, frozen heart..
how can those with nothing to hold on to,
no hands to hold, no reason to hold on…
what can they do, but curl up in a ball
like nature’s creatures faced with stranger, death,
that never spoke its name to them?
One thing only, mercy then will grant:
you will survive… pale, humbled, weak,
wondering what is left, to try to build
a pale approximation to a life
which now, you have no taste for…
and in the coming days, as if
you tasted water for the first time in your life..
you sense a strange new cleanliness..
there’s some new life awaiting, there,
wherever ‘there’ is.. to be lived…
perhaps a new created world
may come of soul’s dark void..
Who can understand, prepare themselves for,
this strangest blessing from the gods?
But that’s the package: unpreparedness is all..
Imagine, now you’re high and dry,
gasping above the sandy waterline, a shivering wretch –
imagine all the glories of a summer’s day;
all the stirring of the blood in Spring;
all the miracles that burst from earth…
an equal miracle, it must be,
the miracle of winter, stealing from us, leaf by leaf,
all we never owned…
this winter’s tale, the heart must kneel and praise;
as marvel; wonder; see as holiest whole -
this timeless, darkest, hopelost, night of soul.

Its A Miracle
It must have happened sometime in the night,
No one saw the stone be rolled away.
When the grave saw morning light,
The skeptics and friends all had to say,
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle happened today.
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
My soul is like a tomb in constant night;
Till one day the stone was rolled away.
Then my heart saw morning light,
And no one alive can explain it away.
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle happened today.
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
Now, now wont you see,
What Im trying to say?
If you believe, it could happen today!
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle,
Its a miracle happened today.
Its a miracle,
What a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
Its a miracle,
What a miracle,
Its a miracle happened today.
Its a miracle,
What a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
(its a miracle,) you know its really a miracle,
A miracle, a miracle,
(its a miracle,) you know its really a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
(its a miracle,) you know its really a miracle,
A miracle, a miracle,
(its a miracle,) you know its really a miracle,
He took the stone, and he rolled it away.
