Surely Shirley

She has angel’s dancing in her eyes

With  their silver wings in her hair.

She smiles and listens

Squeals with delight

When some fresh fruit or berries

Come into sight.

She wants to give me coin of the realm

She has given me more than gold.

She lets me listen to her as she tells

about some stories untold.

While I watch with no surprise

As angels dance in her eyes.

She sits in quiet contemplation

Thor0ughout a busy day

She waves to me  across the room with a nod of  her chin

I am so blessed this gracious lady has invited me in.

Your name echoes in the Valley of my heart

Listening to the Master's Voice

As clear as the sound of the train

on the trestle

as it goes across

the coulees in the rain.

Your name echoes in the Valley of my heart.

I hear It in the wind.

It fills  the thunder.

The sound of your Voice

removes all the pain.

In days of ages past

It comforted me

Taught me sweet surrender.

Guided me to the banyan tree.

Your name echoes in the Valley of my heart.

I hear It in the wind…..


Darling Angel Man for Darcie Zackowski

“There is an angel in my life.”

She told them.

No one believed her.

“He held me when I died”

They said she lied.

She always knew he was there.


Always loving,

always caring,

always singing

Soul`s sweet song.


I know he is real.

I have seen him.

I have heard him.

He held me and I was healed.


Always loving,

always caring

always singing

Soul`s sweet song.


Then one night

in the pouring rain

Her heart cried out

to see him again.


Always loving,

always caring

always singing

Soul`s sweet song.



His Voice


Enjoying  the solitude

of  the unconditional love

Coming from Within

She had no doubt

His voice

was the  one

she would never forget.

It played a symphony

down her spine.

Embraced her

in laughter

As  he sang

his songs to her heart.

His smile

resonated her Soul.

His loneliness was

Matched by her patience.

Beloved friend

There is no hurry

With Inner harmonics.

Divine love  is  the tuning fork.

Friendship is timeless.







Always knowing…never searching

Always knowing

Never searching

She Knew

He was  her friend.

Never searching

Always knowing

With life  she could contend.

Always knowing

Never searching

She dreamed him in the night.

He was waiting

Never searching

Always knowing

She’d be on the distant shore

He’d stop searching

He’d be knowing

She’d  be beside him

for evermore.

He dreamed her in to sight.

She was waiting

Never searching

Always knowing

The Joy

that was meant to be

Never searching

Always knowing

They had shared

the cosmic sea.

Always knowing

Never searching

For music was the bond

That guided them along.

Always knowing

Never searching

They sang each others song.



Soul Singer

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.

In dreams

she rubbed his shoulders

Caressing with compassion

with love honouring

the  memories

of  the

One

who had gone before.

His laughter cuddled her

Encouraged her in the night.

His talent gave strength to her Mission.

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.

She had known one day

He would find her

How blessed that he came along.

In the dawn of the morning

Without any warning

Her spirit sang Its

Gratitude in laughter

In memories of the never after.

Now was all that mattered

She had seen his loving face.

Spirit would take Its own pace.

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.

The Wizard`s Voice

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.

In dreams

she rubbed his shoulders

Caressing with compassion

with love honouring

the  memories

of  the

One

who had gone before.

His laughter cuddled her

Encouraged her in the night.

His talent gave strength to her Mission.

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.

She had known one day

He would find her

How blessed that he came along.

In the dawn of the morning

Her spirit sang Its

Gratitude in laughter

In memories of the never after.

Now was all that mattered

She had seen his loving face.

Spirit would take Its own pace.

He brightened her pathway with song.

His voice painted rainbows.

It gathered moonbeams to share

With the hungry throng.




Just one of SUGMAD’s kids

My life is full of song

It is the HU

You can sing along.

I was not always

in this frame of mind

I have been blessed

to leave worrying behind

My life is full of song

It is the HU

You can sing along.

When I forget the gratitude

I can sing the HU

To adjust my attitude.

My life is full of song

It is the HU

You can sing along.

Basking in the Sunlight of Spirit at Sunset

Counting my blessings

There is no second guessing

as sunset burrows inside me.

It fills up my senses.

Removed all my fences.

Letting the wonderous glow in.

It cleanses my spirit

I can almost hear

Telling me I am so loved.

As the evening closes

The scent of roses

Caresses the  beams as they shine.

My life is so full of blessings

As sit and embrace Thee divine.
