When the twilight is gone, and no songbirds are singing. When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart. And here in my heart you will stay while I pray. My prayer is to linger with you, At the end of the day, in a dream that’s divine. My prayer is a rapture in... Read More

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and... Read More

Spring was never waiting for us, dear. It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance, Between the parted pages, and were pressed in love’s hot, fevered iron, Like a striped pair of pants. MacArthur’s Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down. Someone left the cake out... Read More

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love? It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinking of. What kind of mind is this? An empty shell, A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell. What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?... Read More

Praise the Lord, my soul. Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty. The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and... Read More

To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable sorrow. To run where the brave dare not go. To right the un-rightable wrong. To love, pure and chaste from afar. To try when your arms are too weary to reach the unreachable star. This is my quest! To follow that... Read More

Dear one, the world is waiting for the sunrise! Every little rose bud is covered with dew. The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling, And my heart is calling you. – Eugene Lockhart (1891-1957), from “The World is Waiting for the Sunrise”) (1919) To watch the mainstream scientific community continue to pretend to...

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup. They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe. Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind, Possessing and caressing me. Jai guru deva, om. Nothing’s gonna change my world! Nothing’s gonna change my world! Images of broken light... Read More

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea! He alone decides who writes a symphony. He lights every star that makes the darkness bright! He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night. He still finds the time to hear a child’s first prayer. Saint or sinner calls and always finds Him... Read More
