WHAT DOES THE SKY SEE
From up so high looking down upon,
Does the sky see me as I look back.
On the hills' the wind blows' through the
Trees, And swims does the ocean,
Is this what the sky sees If only It had eyes.
Can It see the birds' fly,
Or the squirrels' climb the trees In the
Morning light.
What does the sky see,
Possibly only what your Imagination dreams'.

THY HEALING BREATH
THY HEALING BREATH
With a heart so pure, filled with love,
He does heal,
Pain and suffering taken away, a gift given,
A miracle.
With energy so strong and a powerful feeling
For life,
From within his being, coming out Is a healing
Touch.
The hurt and agony Is felt by this man, In his
Heart and mind,
This misery and fear, he'll take from you Into
His own body.
With his breath he'll Inhale the sadness and
Death from you,
The cancer and ugliness of the world, he'll
Exhale and blow out.
Into the wind, away from the good that lies within.
Thought to be bad but In reality a good man judged
Badly,
Who he Is, you could not understand, thy healing
Breath, lies in this man.

UNIVERSE
UNIVERSE
Created within me Is the answer to the
Beginning of time,
Is there a start or finish, an end or
Beginning to what's mine?
In many a direction I must be,
Everything travels' through my darkness,
Who knows What there is to see.
Older than anything, how long have I really
Existed,
Where do I come from, Is the answer a mystery
Never to be discovered.
All things' that live within my space,
Rotating forever, will they always be In
This place?
I am the universe, not knowing what I really
Am,
With no air or much light, not a visitor
From your land.
I'll stay here, who can say just how long,
Perhaps till an end comes to my time.

TO CATCH THE WIND
TO CATCH THE WIND
Out there free In the early morning light
From the sky,
A shadowy figure stands motionless as the wind
Blows across the land.
Feeling the fresh air swirling around this
Powerful spirit,
It raises Its' head to the rising sun.
Miles and miles to the North, South, East,
And west,
This great beast can run under the wide open sky.
This miracle of nature, a magnificent creation
From heaven,
With speed and quickness, gallops to everywhere.
Such a gentle friend which stands up tall,
Fast, Oh! so fast he may run, and run to catch
the wind.

TRAIN RIDE
TRAIN RIDE
Awaiting Its' arrival as here It comes to
Take me away,
Sounds like thunder rumbling down the track,
Whistling.
Puffing black smoke up Into the air, Its'
Headlight shining,
This monster of steel Is here, time for me to
Climb aboard.
Listen to the hissing from this steam engine,
Hear it!
We take off heading through the hills' with much
To see.
From out of the window stare do I as we pass
Through,
Darkness from within a mountain carved out a
Passage.
Tons of rock and dirt hanging above us as we
Travel,
Moving through this tunnel Into the light, sun
Going down.
I listen to the sound of the power of this
Traveling train,
Out of the window Is a clear sky as the light
From the full moon
Shines down, guiding our way across the land.

“TWO”
TWO
One and one create a two, In the afternoon
A time of two,
In the dark of night, early morning strikes
The clock at two.
In the park walk a man and woman, hand In hand
They are two,
Feet In the sand, once a girl I knew, we were
One but we were two.
I've loved only once as I've shared my life with
Few, only two,
Now It Is that this man walks alone, he has
Wandering feet of two.
In a world seen In time, time lost, the passing
Of time, years of two,
Time to understand why there Is no longer us,
The way we were two.
Remember the love, a day when we were something,
Thoughts of two,
I remember yesterday was today, I think of you
And the passing years of two.

TRIALS OF A MAN
TRIALS' OF A MAN
Once a child, a small boy from many seasons'
Past,
In this time and place destined to be a man.
Through many battles I've had to persevere,
Like heading Into a strong neverending wind.
I'm learning to move away from the confrontation,
Choosing a new direction, energy not wasted.
Struggling to do everything right as I walk forward,
Positive lessons' to take ahead, I've learned from
My past.
At one time I put away my faith, put It high on
A shelf,
Keep living, keep moving along, and try always.
I've had losses and love lost but this won't end me,
In this, things gained simultaneously.
I still seek some of what's been lost, still within
Reach,
Some gone forever, forever a memory.

TREASURES OF THE LORD
TREASURES OF THE LORD
Into the darkness I stepped, wandering
Down a road,
Left behind the trust and care for those
Whom hurt my soul.
Alone I've stood on a hill so high, at the
Edge of the mountain,
There was nothing for me to see, blinded by
What is humanity.
Is this place I am in a creation of my own anger
And non-believing,
Does darkness fade as the sun appears again
For a blind man?
I've opened these eyes and learned to see
His masterpiece,
The hills that are alive that rest beneath God's
Wide-open sky.
The wind that sings as It blows through the
Ever so high trees,
Rain that falls below Is a gift to us so that
We may watch life grow.
From the sea to all that we need to be Is for
Us because he,
Only he had a thought, the power to Imagine
That which we see.
Treasures of the lord were placed down upon
From heaven,
Only the greed of a man has stolen that which
To him belongs not.
Every time I open my eyes the treasures of the
lord are seen,
These are a gift, a reality that even the blind
May see.

THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES
THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES
There we are together standing, as the sun
Disappears,
Only a lonely tree keeps' us company, we are
Alive!
Many colors' rest In the open sky as day turns'
To night,
We stand together yet apart with our own vision
Of life.
Through different eyes do we see the same things',
As only our thoughts' create a separate way of
Seeing them.
We are two souls' occupying the same earth,
Dreaming, wondering,
Watching the world In two directions', seeing a
Different way, imagine.
Keith Garrett
FROM HEAVEN, CARE YOU HEAR ME?
FROM HEAVEN,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
I look to the sky, can you see me through
The clouds,
I'm standing here Lord, what shall I do to
Make it today?
From my eyes there are many tears that flow
To no end,
In this body It Is my heart that cries for your
Help to ease my sorrow.
Stand by me when my loneliness Is much more
Than I care bare,
Take away this pain and anger that live In my
Soul as I move forward.
Take from me these nightmares that visit when
I sleep oh! please,
Let me rest as my body feels' so very tired
From this plight.
From heaven, can you hear me, do you know who
I am,
Will you listen as I ask for your guiding hand?
