"Beauty to Find"

By L-M Owens

Among the ruins of this world, there is beauty to find. Among all the decadence and delinquency, with the decline of everything right and good spiraling desperately out of control, there is still beauty for these eyes to see and this heart to feel.

In the cold grayness of a snowless foggy winter, most see ugliness, yet these eyes find beauty in the black and white tones of the season. The blackened bark of the trees, with their naked branches sprawling eerily against a grey December sky is hauntingly beautiful to these eyes.

A man and woman in love, intertwined in each others heart and mind, so rare in these times of despair. Oh how beautiful to this heart they are. A child's laugh, a single rose, a firefly aglow. A birds song, a crickets chirp, the smile on an elderly persons face. A coyote with her pups, the rain on the roof, a helping hand. The embrace of an old friend, the hands of a new baby and the sound of a far away loved ones voice. Yes there is beauty to find, if only you would stop, look with your eyes, listen with your soul and feel with your heart.

Of all the beauty to find, the most beautiful is hope. As long as we find hope we have something this degenerate world cannot take away. Hope. Hope for all things good and right in life. Hope and happiness will follow. Hope is beauty found.

"Umbrella Man"

By Little Wing Owens

2/13/07

We stand under the shelter of the umbrella man.

Looking downward with tear stained faces,

suffering our sorrows alone.

While the umbrella man stands with face skyward

listening to the rain

as each raindrop falls they are the tears of all the

wounded souls of the earth.

His heart bleeds for them.

While we stand under the shelter of the umbrella man.

Looking downward with tear stained faces,

suffering our sorrows alone.

Thinking us protected all around,

the umbrella man forgot to look down,

where with tear stained faces,

we suffer our sorrows alone.©

"Forsaken"

By L-MO

1/22/01

I've been forsaken, yeah I've been taken for a ride straight to hell. Yeah straight to hell I slide

I see the demons dance before me, like lost sheep to slaughter the demons lead me.

Faster faster I plummet, fallen from grace on a high summit.

Down down I fall, I'm straining to hear your voice but you don't call.

How I love you, how I need you, doesn't seem to matter much to you.

Here in hell the demons laugh because I love you and I fell.

I reach out to you but you wont take it, I'm lost in hells fiery pit.

You wont help me out, I have to find my way alone. Why the hell did you lead me here, what's that all about?

I've been forsaken, yeah I've been taken for a ride straight to hell, yeah straight to hell I slide. ©

"A Mothers Love"

From the moment of conception, a mothers love is strong and fierce, to dote, teach and forever provide protection.

Her babies, a gift from God above, a loan of sorts

for her to make and mold into good souls, she knows they are more then just objects of love.

Folding tiny socks, picking up Barbies, trucks and building blocks.

Mediating sibling fights, comforting through scary nights. A mothers work is never done, never, not for her daughter, and not for her son.

Waiting up half the night, when her teen is late fear grips her heart.

When they come in the door, her fear takes flight.

Thinking its no big deal, her children just don't understand the

emotions a mothers love can make her feel.

Her precious gifts now faced with so many life choices.

She hopes and prays they make the right ones,

and her opinions and advice she voices.

Upon deaf ears they fall and out the door towards independence each one runs.

Bitter sweet mixes of disappointment and pride,

she misses her little ones at her side. A time gone by,

when she knew where she stood. But alas she lets go,

as she knows she should.

A mothers love is always there.

Watching from afar, always

feeling her children's happiness, sorrow or despair.

A mothers love is a piece of her heart,

given to each of her children upon their birth.

so no matter what you think, from your mother you are never apart

no matter where you are emotionally or upon this earth.

No matter how old or how young, no matter what is or isn't expected,

A mothers love will always try to keep her children protected.

Feeling alone, or wanting to share your joy,

your mother is there for you.

You see, her babies aren't the only gift from God above,

so is a mothers love. ©

"Is There Faith In Me?"

By

Little Wing Owens

04-11-06

My heart is lame

My flesh I want to mame

This rage I cannot tame

The fear in me

An all consuming sea

From its grip just set me free

Slicing to the bone

Feeling so alone

Blood flowing I hear me moan

Come watch me bleed

was you that planted the seed

Was you that ignored my every need

Bleeding out

Rationale has no clout

Darkness engulfs me all about

The rope is tight

Life takes flight

I think I might see a ray of light

He watched me bleed

He said "follow My lead"

He wants to fullfill my every need

Do I dare believe?

Can I possibally concieve?

My soul He wants to retrieve

A Ray of Light

Fear take flight

Hope hold tight ©

"Captive Soul"

By L-M Owens

Of thou soul thee speak,

Deep into mine I let thee peek.

Mine own soul longest for thee,

Of this thee knowest it be.

Thine very self hast been etched into mine heart,

and thou hast held mine soul from the very start.

Mine desires are real.

Alas, I knowest not how thee feel.

Art I just a play thing?

a vessel of pleasure to thee I bring?

Have thou played mine heart in jest?

I beseach thee put mine fears to rest.

If thou feelings for me art true

I knowest thee will come through.

"HEAVEN"

By L-M Owens

Theres a place I wish to be.

I long to feel the warmth that be there. A safe place with the familiar scent of earthy oils. A place alive with soft pounding and rythmic air.

A place were my soul can be free from the mundane restraints of life which hold it captive.

A soft place to lay my head, yet strong and protective.

A place where I can feel the love and desire that surrounds me. A place I am free to touch the reality of my imagination.

A place where I lay silently smiling as rose petals whisper softly in my ear.

A place far from me, surrounded by myth and legend, yet so close I can almost feel it.

A place I am free to be me and reveal my very being without fear. A place where my surroundings will know the truth of my heart without a word ever leaving my lips.

Lyrics by L-M Owens

"Now I Know"

written Jan. 12, 2007

To be sung in the style of "Disturbed"

I lived your lie, you werent who you seemed to be

you claimed to love me

but you just relied on me

to believe in your lies

ah ah ah

You kept me in need

you made my heart bleed, the real you I couldn't read

I followed your lead

right into your lies

You pretended to be the love of my life

ah ah

I remember when my world came crashing down

all because of your lies

ah ah ah

Youre out of my life

don't even try to get back in

youre a pathetic excuse for life, you and all your lies

Stay away from me! Take your lies and go far away

away from me!

ah ah ah

I cant stand you

You make me sick

you make me feel hate like I never knew

all because of your lies

ah ah ah ©

"Empty Nest"

By L-M Owens

© 7/3/08

I burst with pride at seeing you go

but I hide from you my loneliness and secretly scream 'please don't go

One little word has caused me so much pain

I watched with silent cries as you walked away from our goodbyes.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, God I hate that word.

I try to be strong for you, so you wont change your mind about doing what you have to do

but it hurts so bad without you and I just want you to come back home.

(Chorus)

My heart is breaking and I cant stop weeping

I lay awake when I should be sleeping

Too many goodbyes for me to swallow

Letting go of so much fills me with such grief and sorrow

I took our time together for granted. I guess I thought goodbye would never come,

or maybe I just couldn't face that fear.

My heart has been broken a million times before but I never thought it would be broken by you.

I knew I had to let go so you could grow into a more beautiful you.

But I had no idea how bad it would hurt to see you stretch your wings and fly away.

I feel so empty and lonely inside, yet Im filled to the brim with pride.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, God I hate that word.

(Repeat Chorus)

Fly on my sweet, fly on. I will be here when you come home. I will hide my pain just for you, for you to make it through what you have to do.

Fly on my sweet, fly on and know that I love you.
