in a silent night
I saw a glimpse of light
I hope it is alright
for me to reach this bright
shining light tonight

Star
it’s a dream, in a way, you know,
no matter what may be going on around you,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
in the top floor of a high rise,
through window bars of a basement,
in the middle of cemetery,
or amongst ocean of people at a party,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
it’s okay if you lose the ground
it’s okay if the tower falls down.
keep staring at the star
and make a wish upon it from your heart.

Weaving
threads of our insights
woven together
shine the night sky bright
wondrous moment, I wonder
silent serendipity of delight
the world of serene divinity, forever.

Star
at night, in my front porch,
I close my eyes
and stare up at the sky
and try to recall all the night skies
I have seen through my journey
I listen and gently reach for the memory
when I open my eyes
I realize
there’s glow in my heart
stars of precious moments
wishing me well as I take step forward

Nighty Night
a day is too short to enjoy it all
when the night falls
why do I need to go to bed
for the work will return again
let us enjoy this moment a little longer
for excitement is what we hunger

Scene 11
it was late at night in a quiet parking lot
near a hotel where friends cheered victories
Walking into the dark to cool my head a little
the coldness of night sobered my head
or rather soaked my head in a strange thing
I walked a tight yellow rope between
falling in a deathly cold pit of loneliness
or falling head over hills into the unknown
When I opened my eyes again
as gracious morning sun shown upon me
as piercing pain squeezed my head
I knew what I had to do.
I took the step into the unknown.

Scene 4
I was at church in darkness in the middle of night
I held a cup of hot black coffee in my hand
staring into white circular stained glass
shining high above the cross
I wondered what I could say at this holy site
but only the solemn silence heard my plight
I remember the silence that meant more than most words.

Sparks
translucent golden liquid
swirls in a thin slim glass
dimmed glow,
sparkling city lights,
marvel in the eyes,
sparks light up in silence

Alright
It’s alright,
It’s a bit of a bumpy ride,
But we’re going to make it right.
Would y’a smile a bit tonight?
The goal is at sight
Keep going all night.

Star
through the dark sky,
though it burns and rains,
I stretch my arms
I catch my glimpse
one day I’d be there
yes, we’ll be there
let it begin,
our journey to the star
