Momma Loves Stars

 Momma loves stars, 

And I am the Star King,

Shine for my momma, 

She’s under a blanket of stars;

Shine for my momma, 

Let her soak in that light energy 

That lifts her up into the Universe.

And I am the Star King,

Bringing her light through the carpet

Of the night. 

Shine for my momma, 

Let her heart smile as I sing this song,

Let her heart smile forever long,

Shine for my momma,

Momma loves stars, 

Shine on, shine on.

Good Morning Momma

 

As the Dawn breaks, we stir, 

and I drift towards slumber, 

but my thoughts are of you 

and where your day may take you. 

And I hope you have a great day momma, 

finding yourself at peace, smiling because you are happy.

I love you momma.

Under the Milky Way

 

Outside, and the sky is full of stars,

I’m under the Milky Way tonight,

and all the possibilities stream throughout 

my mind, and I’m looking up at success 

as I’m thinking about you;

I feel you so deeply in my DNA, 

and I’m smiling about it.

It’s deep into the night and past the beginning 

of the morning. 

I feel your love from here even, 

I wear it as a cloak that comforts me 

and it keeps me warm deeply. 

I look up at the sky watching for the footprints 

of your sight upon the same stars. 

It has always been a thing, to look up and wonder, 

were you there with me although at some 

unknown location?

Up there I held you in my heart and mind. 

And then one day I found you, and the quest changed, 

from the ether of dreams and darkness, 

into a wider reality of something so wonderful 

that I will never forget in my entire life how grateful 

I will always be for this manifestation of such deep 

and unconditional love. 

And I pause only for a moment to reflect on how new 

and different this is in my life, and I embrace it. 

And I feel the stars smiling down on us. 

Forever Grateful

 

Today I smiled and my heart grew as I thought of you, all that you are to me…

Your unconditional love is the wind in my sails, the fuel in the engine that drives me. 

The hope of my heart soars because of your connection with me and how you love me beyond anything I have ever known. 

You are my mother, my sacred protector, the one who bore me into existence into this place.

And now know that you bring me a peacefulness as I stretch out and begin to fly, the world at my feet because of you.

And I am forever grateful because I know you’re holding in the pain caused by this flight of mine, and you let me still nest in the safety of your wings, warm in your love even this high in the sky as the winds howl.

I can accomplish anything, this was your gift to me; watch me up here and be proud because every footprint I make has stars in it like the glitter in the night sky. 

And I am forever grateful as I build this new life and succeed so much more than ever before. 

Things Never Known

As I sit in silent repose, 

I think of all I am grateful for…

the times of happiness and their experiences;

times of wisdom and right choices, 

times of gold and wine. 

And as I think back to all these times, 

I think I have never known riches 

until I found you and all my secrets unlocked 

finally. 

Family, and the bonds of blood and birthrights, 

the security I’ve found in the all encompassing 

of your love. 

These things are true riches that cannot be stolen

anymore, a stronger man has revealed himself, 

and returned. 

And I am grateful. To having found you waiting, 

like from a dream from so long ago. 

I’ve held gems, precious metals and jewelry, still, 

these things have only been transient in my quest, 

and my life, such as its been, has had a fullness now. 

A completion in your being mine and what’s mine 

being known. 

Never have I known such treasures, in all the finery the world has given up through my struggles, this is my crown, that I found you. 

Long Lost Son

Traveling this world

by land, sea, and air,

as I journeyed an epic tale

to find you waiting for me.

So, now I dance, a celebration

of reunion with my family;

the blood in me, the blood in us,

pumping to the bass line's beat.

If you feel like dancing, join us...

so long on the road, 

so long on the run,

so long, long lost son.

No more to wonder where I came from,

what's mine, where I belong,

so long, long lost son.

Mother's arms, find me, bring me in closer,

we can hardly believe this...

touch me, that I know I'm not lost again

in a dream...

The pounding of our joy fills the world

with our love; all in good time...

heart to heart we dance to a new beat.

On the raging sea, like Ulysses;

caught between immortals doing battle,

through the painful tribulations,

I defeated the evil in epic conflicts,

I knew if I could stay alive

I would prevail, and I did.

I found you all, I'm coming home,

no longer alone, the quest complete,

no longer stumbling in the dark,

no longer fumbling with my place,

the origin revealed at last, 

so long, long lost son.

Set loose, but not free, no template

to remake me.

my mind clear in purpose,

my heart pure in nature,

I broke the chains that  

tried to define me, 

tried to lessen me

as a commodity. 

With steeled nerves and single resolve,

I broke out and broke free,

inspired by how it had to be.

So, now I laugh at the past,

because the night has faded,

and we will dance...

secrets unveiled, 

secrets uncovered,

secrets revealed in the truth of blood. 

so long, long lost son.

Come to us now, take your place

at the table, be with us, (and we with you) 

as it has always been in your heart,

as it always should have been, 

it is now, come to us and receive our love.

What was stolen has returned to its source,

received, healed, and made complete, 

the great family embrace upon me,

mothers' love surrounding me,

the trials done,

so long, long lost son.

Just Because

 Thought about something darker today

the lonely times of emptiness as I grieved 

in the emptiness of a place that once held you. 

And as I remembered the hot tears streaking 

and the ocean I ran to for forgetting, 

I remembered a dream that held you

as I kept you alive in me. 

That dream that I would be held by you again, 

somehow, someway, I would keep myself pure, 

and see you in the mirror beckoning me ever closer 

as I wound my way through the jungles of Hell in my mind.

And I continued just because…

And then in joy and terror I found a way to you, 

I didn’t know if I was ready, but if not now finally, 

when? 

And I jumped at this chance, this sacred thing 

that drove me, sometimes, like you, it drove me crazy…

my mission almost completed, a leap of faith into 

the unknown, by the incomplete, to be made whole again. 

And then order began to be restored…and that ocean began to remember again:

It’s filled with life and hope under the ever shining stars.
