Magic Bean

I got this friend whose got some problems with some junk
Her life's a trial and weighs her down or so she's thunk
A magic bean is what she needs to change her luck
Or solitary understanding of the muck

The bean would grow into a vine into the sky
To empty out those piles of junk and say "bye bye"
But so the same is true for me and all I play
Is sort the piles and break them down from day to day

One day at a time.

Lunar Awareness

The new moon rises in the distant horizon

Unseen, unheard, and alone in the darkness

Unaware of the lighted world

Behind it's face.

The moon rises in the distant horizon
Realizing more each turn of the journey
Towards full illumination, leaving night
Behind it's face.

The full moon rises in the distant horizon
Fully seen, still unheard, still alone in the darkness
Unaware of the shadowed world
Behind it's face.

The Greatest Love of All

Sometimes when we look within ourselves
We find treasure beyond our wildest imagination
And before we know what we have found
Before we find our gratitude to allow it to endure
Before we find our humility to give it space to grow
Before we find our understanding is precious and true
Before we find our courage to have it forever
Before we find our discovery is a beauty of no compare
Before we find our realization of the greatest love of all

It is gone.

Sometimes when we look within ourselves
We find treasure beyond our wildest imagination
And before we know what we have found
Before we realize our gratitude is what brought it to us
Before we realize our humility is what cultivated it
Before we realize our understanding is precious and true
Before we realize our courage is forever fearless
Before we realize our discovery is a beauty among beauties
Before we know the greatest love of all

It is gone.

Sometimes when we look within ourselves
We find treasure beyond our wildest imagination
And before we know what we have found
Before we know our own gratitude we must seek it, realize it
Before we know our own humility we must seek it, realize it
Before we know our own understanding we must seek it, realize it
Before we know our own courage we must seek it, realize it
Before we know our own beauty we must seek it, realize it
Before we know the greatest love of all

We must seek it and realize it

Or it's gone.

Sometimes when I look outside myself
I find treasure beyond my wildest imagination
And I know what I have found
I know I have found gratitude in others
I know I have found humility in others
I know I have found understanding in others
I know I have found courage in others
I know I have discovered the wondrous beauty of others

I know the greatest love of all

Is the love I find within others
Is the love I realize within others
Is the love I know within others

I know the greatest love of all

Is the love I find within my own being
Is the love I realize within my own being
Is the love I know within my own being

I know the greatest love of all

Is the love that is never gone.
