Chalice of Love

I offer love to you
from the chalice of the heart
doesn’t matter who you are
man or woman, rich or poor
black or white, young or old
I offer this chalice of love to you.

My heart spills over
with the joy of life
and fills the chalice
with wine so rich
join me in sipping
from this cup
getting drunk
on the ecstasies of love.

It’s the great mystery
how love heals all
but it’s true
I tell you now
with a drop of love
wounds can mend
with understanding
wars can end.

Accept this gift
graciously given
there’s no payment
this cup is free
all that I ask of you
is to receive it
and when you’re ready
please pass it on.

Pass this cup of sweet, sweet wine
from your hand to another
as we all drink from this chalice of love
One people, One heart.

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.

Reborn by the Sea


Gently she beckons, come unto me
Lovingly she offers, step into the sea
Purify your heart with me, purify you mind,
Float in my ocean, oblivious to time.

Gently she bids me, shed all your tears
Peacefully she offers, give me all your fears.
She wraps her self around me, rocks me to her breast
Floating in her ocean I’m peaceful and at rest.

Gently she whispers, look and see what’s real
Tenderly she offers, you’ve nothing to conceal
She washes away my doubts, Caressing me with love
Floating in her ocean, I’m One with all therof.

Joyfully she laughs, I reflect your child
Gleefully she offers, Let’s dance and be wild
She skims across the waves taking hold of my hand
Dancing in her ocean, I’m free to expand.

Gently she beckoned, come unto me
Lovingly she offered step into the sea
I purified my heart with her and purified my mind.
I floated in her ocean, reborn by the sea.
Reborn by the sea.

Passages

 

Passages of time, passages of words
Passages of people, pass by you and I.

Passages of doubt, passages of tears,
Passages of pain, they too pass us by.
All these passages move us through our lives.

Passages of trust, passages of strength,
Passages of courage, support you and I.

Passages of love, passages of peace,
Passages of solace, woven through our lives.
All these passages the fabric of our lives.

Passages of wonder, passages of dreams,
Passages of magic, enliven you and I.

Passages of laughter, passages of song,
Passages of joy spiral through our days.

Passages, all these passages.
All these passages are the splendor of life.
