Praise Song

Praise Song

Hallel

From the deepest bowels of hell
I scream
my release
"born, born, born again 
thank God I'm born again"...
forged from fire
born of water and the spirit
and the blood...
My tears 
fall away like scales
Thank God
I am no longer for sale
no longer a slave!
From my mouth
a spring well of sage
sayings.

Sifa.

see how far you are
if the voice you carry
carries thunder and fire
to ignite and inspire
the dead to rise again.
bow low
but stand tall
when you hear the call
the call to worship.

I am planted deep
and deep
I come from
now
always...

You Cannot Stop Me

You Cannot Stop Me

I have a vision 
I have the power
I can see through you
you cannot stop me.

Write the vision
and make it plain
read the vision
and run with it.

Whatever it is
I will grab it quick.
I'll speak what I see
and seee what I say
and pick gems
along the way.

I will write myself
into the harvest
so I can reap
when God says it's best.

So do what you must 
but get out my way
unless you are uplifiting
you have nothing to say

Because without the vision
the people perish.

No More

No More

I know we say
it's for the best
that it is love expressed
by sacrifice
That's the test!
But enough!
No more!
If fear
is the centre of our world
it will crumble
with no true love returned.
Let us stop 
painting fairytales
that create too many scales
that hide the ugly truth.
Let's give over to loss
carried and tossed 
by the misfortunes of reality.
No more
let us cling to a dream
that destroys Selfesteem
nor be a slave 
to a misfortune gained
in infantile candour.

Being Ambitious

Being Ambitious

On being ambitious
I must say
it aint all that!
They say you need it
for The Plan
 (if you have one)
and woe to you
if you have none!
So what?
Shall we start another episode
when the curtain falls
and you have achieved all
you had on that list
Or do we throw in the towel?

Maybe we'll just sit on the towel
for a while.

Lasting a Lifetime

Lasting a Lifetime

My companion
always 
inside,
deep down inside.
Daily Healing wakes up
and get's to work:
She says "honey you've been hurt
deeply."
She speaks so sweetly,
that the pain becomes
a dull throb
that soothes
the silent sobs that hurt gleefuly brings.

It lasts a lifetime,
inside of me,
deep, deep down
inside of me,
and daily,
I must heal.

New Self-Concept

New Self-Concept

Do you know
the image you hold
of you
can change?

Do you know 
the story you've been told of you
may not be the true?

When you remove all the cobwebs
in your head
You can think
without the kinks
to turn, bend and grow.

Oh no!
Do not go
down the torutruing tunel of self doubt
because someone refuses to let you out
of the prison built just for you.
Let go of those strings
that keeps you in
the Grimes fairytale. 

Stop thinking
if you just dig in
you can solve the puzzle of you
to start living.
Dig in to the here and now
and nurture all the seeds
that make you grow and don't.

If you are there
pull back from the brink
of rigidity that sinks,
grab hold and cling
to the life you get to live
So broken pieces can be whole.
