How can I make

My inner-light

Shine as bright as you?

If it's just love

Then I know how

Is always Loved!

Asahi by C.J.
|
|
--------------
|
|
(asahi [ausa-he] is japanese; asa-morning, hi-fire)
|
|
|
|
Asahi, the morning fire,
|
|
rise oh body, for my soul to spire.
|
|
Gyrations of another day,
|
|
never ending, always flowing,
|
|
the dance we call creation.
|
|
Centered is the one who seeks,
|
|
for intution is always knowing,
|
|
so I call upon the "Asahi"
|
|
to keep the sparkle glowing.
|
|
Asahi, morning fire,
|
|
Creator of new life,
|
|
balancing the course of nature,
|
|
oh heal me of my strike.
|
|
Warrior, flow through me,
|
|
for it is strength that I desire.
|
|
Walk with me, this troubled day,
|
|
so that with peace,
|
|
I may retire.

"Marry me under a garland of stars,
|

Conifers silent witness
|

To night wind's echoed vows.
|

Bearing our promises upward
|

Through universal whiteness
|
|
To the sepulchre of God.
|

Touch me once for all time,
|
|
All lives that are to be...
|
|
Our love enshrined.

|
Marry me under the gaze of stars.

Celestial concourse, bless our joy

Now and forevermore..."

THE WIND IS SIGHING by Nyko
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The wind is sighing thru the trees
|
|
And Night has drawn her velvet cloak
|
|
Jove's heaven sparkles high above
|
|
And Juno sails her lovely boat
|
|
|
|
I am here and all is now
|
|
The candle patiently awaits the flame
|
|
All thoughts are stilled, all tensions
|
|
gone
|
|
|
|
No cares for this life's hectic game
|
|
|
|
A part of all that is I am
|
|
A spark within the light divine
|
|
All that I need I have within
|
|
I carry with me all the time
|
|
|
|
Bright Lord and Lady of abundance
|
|
Spread your protection round this place
|
|
As I weave my magic, gently, softly
|
|
Smile upon this private space.
