MY BROTHER'S KEEPER

I met you in the alley way,  your hood pulled low. 

I’m a different kind of cat.... my coat of rainbow hue.

I am of the sunlight... my body indigo.

I am keeper of the single flame,  the one who sent for you.

You told me all your secrets... so now I know.

You’re the painter of empty skies, a seer lost at sea.

You sit within your silence, in your isolation hole.

I am not the keeper of your prison. I hold the slender key.

Am I my brother’s keeper?

Black sheep, Black sheep.... three bags full.

There’s a love that pours in deeper.

Am I my brother’s keeper?

I saw you in the darkness.... I cooled your fevered brow. 

We drank the Merlot of our Saviour, offered free & clear,

My brother of the lonely... the never never now.

I am keeper of our solemn promise, & fear, I have no fear....

GUIDED & PROTECTED

Tragedy besets us. Our mother Gaia bows breathless & inundated. The Children of Man have lost their way. Cultures of great beauty & wisdom... the Tibetans... the Celts... the Sioux...   eradicated by avarice & concupiscence. Smoke & foul grime befoul the green fields & blue waters. 
Hope seems extinguished & all that remains is the weeping & gnashing of teeth in the outer darkness.  At the moment of deepest despair... Remember.... Please remember... You are being guided & protected. As John Lennon said... "All you need is Love". "It's going to be alright.... alright." At all times you are being guided & protected.... guided & protected.

FORGIVE ME

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

'Cause - 'cause - 'cause I remember when a we used to sit
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites - yeah! -
Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost
Along the way, yeah!
In this great future, you can't forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh. Yeah!

Said - said - said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown, yeah!
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
I seh, logwood burnin' through the nights, yeah!
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, say,
Of which I'll share with you, yeah!
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through.
Oh, while I'm gone,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, yeah!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So no, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
I seh, O little - O little darlin', don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry, eh.

NO WOMAN NO CRY

Bereft. Bereaved. We enter into that  sadness. The sadness of the woman who has had it all taken away. We live in the Garden. This is the Garden. See the image of the little blue globe seen beyond the rings of Saturn from the back looking probe that goes beyond in to the oblivion. Our island home in the vastness of the cold & black. Earth. Terra. We need only accept. To ease back into the serenity & bounty of this beauteous place we have been given as our birthright. What is it we seek? More than enough. The abundance is plainly all around us. No woman… no cry… my prophet said it best. No woman… no cry…..lift your hands to the Grace that abides…. No woman… no cry…. more than enough…. no woman… no cry….
