Matthew 05:01
It's a good thing God loves all the sinners and saints Brother you were a little of both Good thing we are God's Children It gives us a little hope You had a guardian angel all these years working double-time you tempted fate on a backwoods road now I'm the one left alive with all these memories and things that I should have done As you walk this Great Divide the space between death and life the wilderness of the Spirit another for your to explore Just listen listen to this Man Trust in the love of God Listen listen to this Man Know that you'll be carried home! open to the loving light of our Creator your soul has always been whole Continue to fish and dream dream fish the lakes and pristine clear waters wish for trout unlimited in your own backyard I know that you wanted this Earth to be restored Like me you sought the respect of our father you were sharp-tongued, and loud, with a raw sense of humor a lover of mother nature and my mother's firstborn son A solid man, a wild-natured son-of-a-gun I had questions that I wanted to ask and a trip that never happened I've got questions that will never be answered except in my own heart late at night as the shadows grow after mourning will the cool night ever come? Matthew your life was not in vain there was never any race or competition you came and went on your own terms and in our eyes you have become Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Son

Freedom 04:02
I love freedom watching lovers unknown I wait softly with my daughter at home Urban gypsy dark apparition Olive skinned Pagan lady with Catholic sin Jesus loving Indian If I break down I know that I'll be reborn Love rules free men loving women 'til morn I fled from a gentle man for pleasures unknown I bagged up my sentiments and headed for home I've loved I've lived I've given my very best If you never forgive me I still consider my life to be blessed I flew on a gentle wind towards treasures unknown withdrew to the islands and weathered the storm

Me and the Earth are very close walking on her wherever I go Me and the Earth are very close she shows up as sand in my clothes Me and the Earth are very close Dust on my windows Me and the Earth are very close Relaxing my woes She bathes me she saves me She loves me she clothes me She feeds me she needs me She gave me life I'm dark like her and cut in places Bound in chains my spirit faces Wires to hold in the energy Divert it to false needs Concrete chain where drives the intellect of humanity Time to take a dirt road back to the places where children play and the trees make peaches and we eat with pleasure we don't measure yeah the days and hours they go on forever! Between the Earth and the Universe I am Loved

In the loneliest of places down in the dust of the ground In cages of desolation you were waiting to be found Through tears I saw clearly through the cracks of walls you crept In silence where the water trickles there the promises are kept Another day awakened by the night a handful of dirt and air to breathe Raise your voice for the roots that run deep Open your hands and scatter the seeds Tracing along the broken lines we find the pieces all adrift Broken earth a seizure of seas a sphere of wounds brings forth the gift Trust the voice of the deep beneath in the fruit that falls a seed is planted Your voice is yet in it's infancy for the growing mind these words are chanted! Sea grass and wildflower, herb and tree a second, a minute, an hour, a year ticking all around the spiral seer 'neath the foundations of our fear Putting down our blocks of burden collapsing pieces are all asunder putting our hands to work again, the rising voice it speaks like thunder

Reconnecting 04:19
I know I knew it all before I know I lknow it now I've walked this road many times before yet I've forgotten it somehow I find it then I lose it then I get it back again Sometimes I feel I've lost it then the light comes shining in I've been stressed and undone Can't recall the way home nor the way I've come lie in regret while my spirit awaits the rebirth the reconnecting Stressed and undone I can't find my way home by the way I've come Lying awake while I anticipate the rebirth the reconnecting I've barely begun to uncover the depths of myself I let this malaise this disease of my heart destroy my mental health now it's time to explore the world beyond my door the keys fall into my open hands as I grasp for something more Things are gonna get better my life is gonna shine brighter I will find my way out of this rut I can feel myself become lighter!
