Tunnel

Will I ever see the light at the end of the tunnel?
All I see now is the darkest dark.
The candle light is swallowed by the darkness-
Just a flame, nothing is illuminated by it.
I have forgotten what my own hands look like,
I wonder if I am in a tunnel or really a cave.

I'll keep moving along, hoping for the faintest light
The faintest clue that I am somewhere near
Close to getting out of this dark dark darkness
and back to where the sun shines and the rain falls.

Back to where warmth and cold are felt to the full,
Back to where colors and scents flourish,
Back to where the night and day are separate-
Back to where there are faces of many kinds,
Back to life- where I truly belong.

I'll keep travelling, guided only by hope and faith,
And wondering if I am progressing to the light
Of the tunnel's end or the dark bottom of the cave.
Only time will tell. Does time pass in the dark?

Wind

Which way will the wind blow?
We're like the wind, to and fro.
Does it make sense for us
To wait and see which way we'll fall?

I'm here tied to the ship's mast,
Awaiting the end of this craziness,
The wind blows this way,
and I think we may be okay-
Then it takes a turn for the worst...

Why am I waiting to see which way
Which way the wind will blow?
The wind always changes directions.
It will never be good, though there is good,
And it's not all bad, but the bad comes up.

The question is, if I get untied from this mast,
Will I be able to go inside, sheltered
and get relief from this terrible wind???

Here I am tied to the ship's mast,
awaiting the end of this craziness,
But the winds never stop blowing,
You never know where it comes from
and you never know which way it's going.

So the questions is, what am I waiting for
And what's the final determining factor???
I can't make a move, I'm tied to the mast,
Awaiting the end to this craziness...
Waiting and waiting for the end...

The Sacred Divine

God, Divine, who ever You are,
You are a sacred mystery.
Way over human kind,
Beyond our understanding,
Legends and myths were created
To explain Your greatness...
Are all of them true, or none?

Are all the gods of all the lands
Actually perceptions of You?
The Bible, the Torah, the Q'uran,
All say "God is One".
Ancient discoveries say that You
Were seen as female at one time.
More recently it's said You are male.

I believe You are Only God!
I believe You are Holy Creator.
I believe You are neither female or male,
You have attributes of both,
But You are Spirit, and You are Love
How ever each one should interpret Your Holiness,
May thier worship honor You without persecution.

God is a mystery, right before our eyes.
Revealed in nature, just take a look
At all the variety, all the wonders...
Listen to music, taste some food,
Feel the comfort of a hot shower,
Be thankful for medicines and remedies,
Look at the ones you love,

And know that there is God-
The God of the Bible, Q'uran, Torah,
The God represented in statues,
The God seen as spirits in the desert,
Seen as different gods, persecuted...
Are all worship of the One True God
The God of Love who created all of this.
