Between the dove and the eagle,
there is a challenge for humanity.
Between the storm and the rainbow,
there is a gentle spring shower.
...
death is not the setting sun
the sun will rise again
it is not the silence of midnight
for dreams are never silent
...
the morning was so long ago
it has grown old before its time
it creeps along like old men do
...
The grandest garden is the Universe.
The stars above are like flowers,
and here on earth the breath of life
counts bloom and stars and showers.
...
the cloud has covered up the blue
the gray has banished all our hope
and everything we thought we knew
to rob from us the will to cope
...
Peace cannot come to a world
where wild eyed generals feed
the commerce of endless war.
...
upon a mountaintop in Spain
I pondered on a mystery
for I had never sailed the sea
how could this mountain come to be
...
everything makes a difference
every rising storm
every falling leaf
every word we speak
...
listening to the Universe
there isn't much for me to say
there are no answers from above
the stars are mute in disarray
...
the teapot toker
with the chromium smoker
keeps serving lavender cake
we paid him our money
