The Wisdom Of The Golden Leaf
For this my children / Is why you are blessed / With the ability to change the scenes / Within the dream / Of life.
Lurking Emotions
Put a lid on such ploys / And throw them into the abyss / With the dream-stealers / That lurks in the dark corners / Of the mind
Misplaced Blame
Such are the thieves / Of the night: / The darkness of their days, / That robs them

COWERING IN THE CORNER
In fear of rejection / Criticism and despair / Yearning for genuine love that seemed rarely there / In memories of yesterdays gone by
ROMANTIC LOVE GONE WRONG
Resounding through the darkness / Like a knife in the heart / Certainly not the words he used at the start
You Hold The Key
Unaware of the commitment / And responsibility / Needed to grow
The Narcissistic Viewer
So I took it in my stance / In a calmed trance / Knowing it were you / Seeing yourself through me
YOUR LOT
But two masters / You cannot follow / For that would surely start / A rend of the heart / By contending emotions / Leading to being hollow
Life – An Eternal Journey
At each new opening door / Depends upon / What you did in life before

He is the one who keeps me strong / To face life’s trials and tribulations / Though not always easy / With Him I feel I belong
BELIEF
I am a night worker / The moon my sun of day / And this way I’ll always stay
Destruction
The times to stop / To take a look / You’re living a dream / That is your book / In this life’s brook / Of which you float upon
You Give Me Such Sweet Wine
You have given me / Such sweet wine* / Over time / That grows on the vine / Upon the tree of life
GOD’s GIFT TO HIS CREATION – NEW MILLENNIUM…
And faith without question / Belief without reason / Will be your rock / As to your life you will be flocked / And frocked within your raim…
Life … Is But A Dream
Wandering over an earth so fair / Beauty for the soul to soar / Casting off the illusions / Wanting to be seen / As realities / By false em…
THE DARK SECRET
Amid the oceans of blue / The same colour reflected / From me to you
ON THE JOURNEY HOME
Psychological pain / Running rampant / Through the soul / Little things from the past / Needing to let go / Like dreams / With unknown endi…
LIES, STORIES AND DECEPTIONS
Oh you silly, silly man / Living by deceptions / Trying to take command / Who thinks I believe / The lies he tells / This man who does not …
CROSSROADS
You learn how to fly / Standing at the crossroads / Wondering which way to go
DRIVING FORCE
You set the course / Of where to go / Heading the wheels
Spare The Rod; Spoil The Child
By nipping his belittling words in the butt / I gained a higher education of not much use / He became perplexed as a spoilt man-child / I b…

ASCENSION
Ashes to ashes / Dust to dust / Fire and wind / Bring in change –
THE BUTTERFLY’S JOURNEY
No more poverty, wars or battles came into the play / And he saw all mental illness of dominators drop away
Stop, Look, Listen & Learn
LOOK at where you are in YOUR beliefs / LISTEN to what YOUR spirit says from within / you with clean mind …
LOVE IS AN ENERGY WAVE
When you take a moonbeam / And you hold it in your hand / When you touch the moon / You will understand
UNSALEABLE LOVE
The innocence / Of the animal kingdom / As human minds / Closed their eye
THE ROAD OF ETERNITY
But an all imposing energy / That gave a reflection back to me / It felt my nature of which to be / In human form it took its shape / An in…
NEW BEGINNING
For as my eyes see outward / My mind’s eye sees within - / The chambers of my heart / Is the place to start
Be Careful What You Wish For
That all in life is what you create / That comes into illusion / You cannot blame another / For your own confusion
Now Is My Reality
My here and now is my reality / My yesterdays are the memories of past / My tomorrows are the visions of how life could be. / © C J Lewis, …
An Oberservant One
Then get caught on the stern / Riding in another’s boat / And fall into the mote of submission: / A trifling fault
I BELIEVE WITH FAITH
I am neither / Protestant or Catholic / Jewish or Muslim / Buddhism or Hindu / And yet / I am not an atheist / For I am one / Who believes…

For good is in you / Whether rich or poor / It does not matter / If you have more / And it does not matter / If you have less

Don’t Shut Yourself In
We will find the pearl / And penetrate in / Towards its shine / And then we will find / The diamond of time
HYPNOGOGIC STATE OF BEING
No heart pumping / Inside this personal cell / But came back to life / So I could tell
Waiting – Hoping
With the flow of the heart’s tide / Will improve

For without love where would we be / But animals in this world’s menagerie.
Why All The Rebellion
That some call God / And some call Allah / And many other names / That may be chosen

STUCK IN A TIME WARP
Cracking that self-made whip / Placing you under its spell / Every time one sits and dwells
KNOWLEDGE
To find the peace / Of which has been fleeced / From this the earth / Of which we lease
Observations
For his hand I would not kiss / Then suddenly he grabbed my shoulders / And planted me with a kiss / Upon the cheeks in true French fashion…
DREAM II
And as I slept that night I saw / In flight in the sky / The wings of the eagle
ODE TO WOMEN
And a mother should not interfere / In the life of a husband and his wife

Gone mad with each new egoic desire / To see and hear another play / Of how their emotions rule them
