The Way of Love

On days like this I need you near me
On days like this I need your help
I ask for courage. I ask for strength
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

Amidst my angst, I need a friend
Amidst my turmoil I need peace
Chaos surrounds me. I’ve lost my way.
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

In times like these I need a partner.
In times like this I need support.
My vision is clouded. I need clarity.
I ask you to walk beside me hand in hand.

To show me the way of love, the way of trust,
the way of acceptance with compassion.
Show me the way of grace.
Show me the way.

With you beside me my view expands
With you beside me I see what’s real
I sink into my heart
and always live from love.

When you walk beside me hand in hand
I know the way of love, I live in trust,
I live in acceptance with compassion,
I know the way of grace.
I know the way.

When you walk beside me hand in hand
I know the way of Love,
I know Love.

Illusions

Illusions,
oh those illusions

Fear in its many forms
threatens our safety
harbors our anger
and alters our minds

Doubt stops us in our tracks
blankets our brilliance
veils our beauty
and stifles creation

Guilt overtakes us
fills us with sorrow
suffers us wounds
and closes our hearts.

Worry bleeds us dry
limits our options
smolders our passion
and steals our joy.

Illusions, oh those illusions
Why do we believe them?
Suffering pain
Closing our hearts
Giving up joy

Where lies our freedom
from all these illusions?

By opening our hearts
to find our wisdom and joy
Only then can we see clearly
through the illusions.

Illusions, silly illusions
Illusions, they’re simply illusions.
