I have always looked around never knowing how still my heart could be.

There in the day, night nearing so close.
Why have I come to see this peace within me??

The majesty, the nobleness of day.
In my speaking, I will tell you all within.

Standing quietly, listening to the world around.

A baby cries, wind blowing by, in my eyes the clouds moving, the gentleness of day.

The quiet of night.
The children so yearning.

~~~~~~~~~ What follows was written after September the 11th. Part 2, so to speak. The entire piece was written RE: the Dharma.

Time passes, months slip by.

The beauty of your words, even now cannot take away the pain inside.

Evil destruction, ruins lay in a City of Miss. Liberty.

Senseless dying, crys of hope.

See the smoke so blinding, yet inside a peace conquers me.

It is the knowing that I am not afraid.

So very hard to understand, don't ever try.

Some Men are merely beasts.

Still I cry in sadness, in disbelief.

My eyes show me the truth.

My heart mirrors yet the goodness of our souls, the hundreds of Martyrs who have come to call.

Life seems to stop- as we know.

Only asking us to look deeper within to get to know.

There is a stillness, a quiet place I can go.

It's now with me everywhere I go.

It's gentle and loving, would not want to hurt a soul.

So I share with you my friends this love within.

I am not afraid, it does not matter for I have inner peace.

Questions of Faith come and go, but strength, clarity and peace always let me know.

We see through the same eyes.

We mourn, we cry, we go on to inspire hope and what is just in an unjust world.

Little by little everyday I am closer to you.

In spirit, in soul, in vision, in breath, in sleep, upon eating, when running, when walking.

I call on you, but know you are here within me.

No need to look any farther.

The winds may blow and the world will have to see, that peace must come from each of us individually.

We look to blame others, when the problems lie within.

Until we see clearly, no peace can we live.

I join you in giving, in understanding-in trying to comfort these many souls.

If only a smile, a hug to let everyone know.

It is the essense of your existence that has touched us so.

Man should look at a child, a flower and bow down so.

All this anger must go.

We all share this world and yet most are too unwilling to understand, that peace comes from within.

I call on everyone at this hour of need,
to be gentle with your neighbors.

Do not be quick to anger, but compassionate.

Treasure this Life we are living.

Each day is a blessing and even the slightest life has value.

Appreciate eachother and give of yourself.

Never stop giving.

Through Love and Caring we may learn to see the brightest light and see beyond the smoke which has filled our skys today.

This very Freedom which we have been given, need not be taken away.

Each individual has a right to be.

It is my hope that this peace, this love, this joy inside, someday may fill your hearts.

I am thankful for seeing all that you have shown me and in knowing, I have found my way.

Silently, slowly reaching for you
Silently, slowly reaching

Gazing into your eyes
Lingering, softly along your sides

Thoughts transparent, though trapped inside

I'm quietly reaching
Quietly reaching

Memories, lost- gone bye
Times of laughter said goodbye

I'm reaching, reaching
Lips parted in gesture
Quietly speaking

Your eyes have told me so, while lingering slowly
Your eyes have told me so

Deeply moving in spirit with you
Deeply moving

Touching you slowly
Touching you slowly

Hope VOV was great fun and that the California sun gave you much brightness and warmth. Wanted to tell you how very much I miss you.

Find the way,
Love always.
Getting back into the groove. Dig it?

Today is a very special day. I just brought my Baby home from the guitar store and she's all tuned and ready to go.

Well, here's to me and the music.
And to you.

I'll let you figure it out.

How are you Duncan? I'm sure quite busy. Hope you are well, at much peace and that your creativity is at an all time peak.

Much love,
Will see you soon. Michele

Never knew the Sun
Never knew the Moon
Till I looked in your eyes

Never knew the day
Never knew the night
Till I looked at you

The eyes of a child
The love in our hearts
Makes each day worth while

Today you stand so proud
Your day of days

I love you my Son

Take the time to laugh
and see my love

Do not run through your life

Take your time so you will know
All I may have missed

I love you so
I love you so

Oh yes, good evening to you.

Into my life
You walked in
Lit up the day
With your mind

Petals of Love
Falling gently
Enveloping me
Across the stairs I stare
Watching every move
The shape of you
Slowly moves

How mysterious
How velvet
How liquidy bliss
This is the Distance from here to There.

Cross Section to my heart
Inner lines with you
Running cross this town
I'm there with you
How smooth, so near, My Man

Gentle winds blow,
The Distance from here to There.

Now watching you and other great guitarists, I notice that you do not always strum over the soundhole. It's quite cool to just let her rip.

I was thinking early this morning how very nice it's been to see you seven times. It's so very cool knowing you.

Dark stranger, venturing souls
Unveil to me, the innermost
Traveling through time
To touch you so

Evening magic, clearly seen
Touch my hand till it burns

Layers of tranquility
Evening misted sky
Wondering moonlight beams aglow....
Entangled thoughts of you
Peaceful river flowing, currents, moving flow
Still, your presence captures me so

Darkest stranger, amidst the moon
Looking in my soul, out the other side

I reach out
I touch your heart
I'm capturing you so

Layers of tranquility
Evening misted sky
Wondering moonlight beams aglow.....
Entangled thoughts of you
Peaceful river flowing, currents, moving flow
Still, your presence captures me so.
It captures me so.

How things going?

I went out this afternoon to buy a couple of accessories for my rather new acoustic guitar. I ended up buying myself an electric guitar. It's very Cool I originally was looking at this really nice Fender 60's Stratisfyer or (something like that). She was a real Beauty in mauvy pink. I ended up buying a lower end starter made with excellent craftsmanship. So,needless to say, I am very, very happy right now.
Hopefully, this will enhance my learning and growth. I'm going to practice on both, keep up the writing and singing. My studies will be on break for about one month. This should give me much time to work on my music.

Looking in the mirror, what do I see??
I see the eyes of Love
The hearts of gold
I see the lonely, the dirty

Riding on this ship of time
Drifting,Slowly,
Falling, Falling,
How old am I?

I'm wondering, wonder why,
Your not close,so far, so far
I see the eyes of love
The hearts of gold,
I see the lonely, The dirty

Riding on this ship of time,
Drifting, Slowly,
Falling, Falling,
Where am I??

Questioning the closeness, too close
Just too close, so close
I'm wondering why, wondering why

I guess it's because I reflect upon things a great deal.

I need someone to love me
I need someone to touch me
as I've never been touched before
Don't care if it's a man or a woman
So the touch gentle
Let the heart be true

Empty this world
Nothing much left
A person or two
Don't think I'll be missed

There must be so many others
Doesn't seem fair

So dark the night
Will I ever see the day

Questions of the years of life
Covers keep me warm
Invisible husband
The Ghosts of dreams
A star shines
Can't make out what it's saying
I'm trying
It's outside

Just a touch to let me know
you care
No words are needed
Your smile
Your tears
A reason for me to hold on

Blue this dark night
Cold the winter

There must be so many others
Empty my heart
So little light

Looking for a reason
For one more day
Another night
A dream unborn
waiting to be awakened
