- Saw the Sign -

 

Feather floated from Elysium gardens,
powdered blue horizon this time
from perspective felt now
compared to before.

This silent treasure
placed itself inside my palms
and fluttered a bit
to attract attention;

while its counterpart
took to the skies
before Thank You
had a chance to be released.

Chestnut windows opened
to view contents held, Heart poured out
for Angels to take notice of me.

Serenity sought for others
also prayed for Peace myself
yet answer came back
in riddles.

I walked, followed bread crumbs
as doves watched and waited
to pick up a few.

Noticed the signs, left or right
and at times decided to go straight ahead.

Had a minute to wish, watch the star
fall from Goddesses fingers
into a chalice, I held.

When Spirit allowed Time to test,
permitted mistakes to be made
with confessions from conscious
to unlock door where skeletons slept~

then at last, Life opened Sacred opportunity
through door number three- Peace achieved
since Love with Light already acquired
after I had fallen and been picked up
many times.

Peace achieved when Love and Light
allowed to filter in...
and make itself at Home..

We must become the change we want
to see in the world...

Eric Clapton: Change The World
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whw08RmUFNg

If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world

If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

- GUITAR SOLO -

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

    what a graceful poem, my sweet sister ...
    you really know how to enchant, inspire and rejoice our souls ... you're like no other ...

    the image reminded me of a bird that often comes to me in a dream just before somebody dies ... I call it rainbow-parrot, since it is a huge parrot with rainbow-colored feathers ... he takes the souls on their last journey ... it mostly happens when birds are about to die, and it happened with one human as well ... the souls usually leave their bodies within three days of the dream ... and always peacefully ...

    Outstanding

    I could see myself on this journey with you in a walk of life in time. Realizations in discriptive views as time brings us to the ultimate news. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder that has learned by experience that love is the main ingredient to a wonderful life. It's worth the pitfalls to acheive perfection!! My dear words are not enough to discribe the warmth in this write! Loved the Music!! Always liked Eric! Sensational read! 100 stars in a 10 star rating my dear friend! Your warm & cozy Pal, Don
