Alright, I'll post the words to a song I wrote a couple of years ago

The Song of the Hills

The great green hills sing an olden song
To all who will listen with hearts open wide
Mother Earth is reaching up to the skies
Sharing her wonders, her breast swelled with pride

An endless river runs through the woods
Forever bringing new life to the land
A mystical world where time has no meaning
Where old trees have fallen and new ones now stand

And each day brings a fresh sense of hope
As the flowers awaken to a new morning's light
And as the dusk sets in I can still hear a song
Looking out o'er these hills
The most beautiful sight

There is ancient wisdom alive in these hills
And the old time tales are still being told
The shades of green stir forgotten memories
It's clear to me now what the future will hold

For even in the darkest night
We are taught that the light never leaves us for long
By the Heavens blessed with a thousand stars
And the waters that keep on singing their song

And each day brings a fresh sense of hope
As the flowers awaken to a new morning's light
And as the dusk sets in I can still hear a song
Looking out o'er these hills
The most beautiful sight

Lead me again to the heart of the hills
Your gentle hand is all the faith I need
Human voices join the planet in song
In endless embrace our hearts will be freed

And each day brings a fresh sense of hope
As the flowers awaken to a new morning's light
And as the dusk sets in I can still hear a song
Looking out o'er these hills
The most beautiful sight

Looking out o'er these hills
I know all is right


Now, how do I get Hayley to record this song? i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

At Peace

Sitting on my window ledge
I feel a gentle breeze
Life is so beautiful

Birds are flying through the trees
Squirrels scurry about
Gathering nuts for the winter's rest

All the world is at peace
Soon the earth will sleep

Dusk is falling fast
Sending brilliant hues of color
In the great sky above
Pinks, Blues all appear
So brillianty it leads my heart
To fly and to soar

Soon I will give into sleep
Peaceful dreams will be mine tonight
Because all the world is at Peace

We've got some really talented people here at HWI !

This is the latest poem I wrote.

Circle

Life and love are pulling us in a circle.
A circle of endless bounds
but different distances
where looking back is moving forward
and looking ahead is stepping back.
Time knows no space
and all that's felt is energy.
Energy of time, space and love.
The hum of dreams propells us
and the lyrics of life stir us.
Slowly rocking forward and backward
upon the ebb and flow
We close our eyes, take a deep breath
and exist in the circle of love and life where
We are surrounded by the gentle swaying of
energies. And the caressing arms of love
follow us wherever we go among the pulling
circle of love and life...

<3 Caitlin

Lord I hear you calling me
Beckoning to me to listen
You're telling me you love me
That I mean so much to you
Lord I can hear you
My heart fills with joy

Thank you for loving me
And creating me
To look just like you

Hi...here are 2 HAIKU...

Sail the cloudless sky

Weave your way atop the waves

Reach for heaven's stars


The splendid sun glows

Setting my spirit on fire

This heart burns with love


Love, Marianne

Angel of Song

A heavenly angel sang a lullaby,
Alighting amongst us unnoticed ...

Gently she touched our trembling hearts:
Smoothest silk caressed our souls ...
Tenderly songs and hearts entwined,
Weaving tentative, fleeting forevers ...

Mesmerised stars embraced the sun,
As something wonderful quietly grew ...
Dark, dismal, clouds of doubt dissolved,
Shimmering to crystals of sparkling light ...

Perhaps the author attended her/his first Hayley Concert?

Marianne wrote this yesterday & read it out to me.

I loved it so (with her permission) I'm posting it here.

Subject: poem

Jesus Christ
Promised Messiah
Lord of Lords
King of Kings
Incarnate Saviour
The Lamb of God
Born into humanity
At the appointed time
Angels voice his praise
Love manifests his essence
Grace reveals his majesty
Humility his crown
Obedience his cross

Jeered
Spat on
Mocked
Punished with stripes
Crucified with criminals
Forgiveness his last words
Risen gloriously
Exalted in heaven
Salvation secured

Graeme.....for Marianne

Dark December

My dark days of December
I still, clearly remember
Wishing, hoping & praying for a miracle

Darkness filled the rooms
And darkness filled our hearts

Pain, tears & no more laughter
No happy end, or ever after

In the dark end of December
A little light came in one room
Just for you, just for you

Nobody saw, nobody heard
You left the room so quietly
You did not say, one single word

And on that dark December morning
Daddy woke me up, saying;
Mommy’s gone my love


A Promise

I kept a promise in my heart
Only for you, only for you

I kept a memory in my mind
Of you, of you

I kept your picture in my room
For myself, just myself

I talk within myself, at least once a day
But also to you, to you dear mom

A little chill, a little breeze.
Feeling fine, feeling home
And certainly, not alone

I kept a promise, a promise which came true
The only one who knows, is you…

[comet]

I was moved and saddened by your words.
You have my sympathy for your loss.

I still talk to an old friend of mine, he is gone quite a while now.
I kept some simple things that had belonged to him, a paintbrush and a pencil,
I still use them occassionaly and think of the fun we had working together when I use them...............

[sharon]

Thank you comet!

And i'm sorry for your loss as well.
Only think of the good times you had with him, I do too, and it helps!

Sharon
