Forever Sunshine Day leo genereux 27Sep2017
Recall a day of calm and stillness, embrace it lovingly
The voice inside now whispers
Forever sunshine day.
Fading are all forms of pain, grim demons disappear
Angels hover near;
On this sunshine day
.
Needing but forgive myself for nightmare fantasies.
Beyond the game of 'me'
Awaits the sunshine day
Sunshine day.
Forever, forever sunshine day
Forever, forever sunshine day.
The gloom that seemed so real is gone, all sadness falls away
The laughing children safely play
On this sunshine day.
Long lost sons have finally come to claim their legacy;
A cloudless sky eternally
Forever sunshine day
Forever sunshine day.
Forever, forever sunshine day
Forever, forever sunshine day. (2X)
Dreadful was the shadow zone, behind dark clouds alone
Shrouds of fear are passing
I am coming home.
How comforting is Reality, a soft remembering
A soothing Voice is singing;
Forever sunshine day
Sunshine day.
Forever, forever sunshine day
Forever, forever sunshine day. (2X)
Where has all the sorrow gone; the wars of history?
The tears of time dry quickly
On a sunshine day.
Forever is the Son that's shining within my heart He stays
A dark phase could not replace
Forever sunshine day
Forever sunshine day.
Forever, forever sunshine day
Forever, forever sunshine day. (4X)

Gold leo genereux 02April2016
The Voice that whispers from beyond my fears
Tells me of a gentleness so dear.
The touch that heals the world of misery
The kindness that sets all my brothers free.
Freedom from the nemesis of time
Forever safe within the timeless Mind
In the greatest story ever told
Self-forgiveness is our only role.
More than gold, more than gold
Forgiveness is more valuable than gold
Gold, forgiveness is more valuable than gold.
The world of form is but my phony thing
Imagined by desire to be king
How costly is this fake identity
For fear devours everything I see.
More than gold, more than gold
Forgiveness is more valuable than gold
Gold, forgiveness is more valuable than gold.
Mistaken to believe that I could play
The game of god and make the world my way
The curse of death appears to prove indeed
That I replaced Love's truth with my dark creed.
Deep within my mind
There's a place that isn't changed by time
Where every brother still remains
Beyond the dream of loss and pain.
Apart from Heaven, no life's to be found
The kingdom of a fool is barren ground
Self-condemned for fits of fantasy
We're the dreamers of our damned identities.
Sin and guilt are memes without substance
For innocence is our inheritance
We are the Son of God all joined as one
Forgiven for what never has been done.
More than gold, more than gold
Forgiveness is more valuable than gold
Gold, forgiveness is more valuable than gold.
The Voice that whispers sweet things to my soul
Of a joyous outcome I am told
Beyond my woes Love waits patiently
For my choice to set my true Self free.
More than gold, more than gold
Forgiveness is more valuable than gold
Gold, forgiveness is more valuable than gold.
Forgiveness is more valuable than gold.

My Gift To Me leo genereux 20Feb2015
Today I learn
The law of Love
The law of Love I learn today
That what I give to my brother
Is my gift to me
Whatever I choose that to be?
When I choose anger
It's my gift to me
If I give bitterness
It's my gift to me
When I cast judgment
It's my gift to me
Holding on to grievances
It's my gift to me.
My gift to me.
Today I learn
The law of Love
The law of Love I learn today
That what I give to my brother
Is my gift to me
What will my giving be?
When I give kindness
It's my gift to me
If I trust my brother
It's my gift to me
When I am gentle
It's my gift to me
When I am forgiving
It's my gift to me
My gift to me.
My gift to me
What do I choose that to be?
My gift to me
My gift to you is my gift to me
My gift to you is my gift to me
My gift to you is my gift to me
My gift to you is my gift to me.

Remembering leo genereux 20dec2016
Beside the sea that glistens on a sunny day
Upon the beach a little child began
With eager hands he toiled with only pail and spade
To make a world out of moist sand.
Within a time that seemed to pass so quickly
Enchanted boy would smile at what he made
His tiny world complete with wall and towers
And a moat to keep dragons away.
But the ocean so grand and frightful
Slowly rises the tide
Approaching quickly the child's delightful,
Tiny world with callous pride.
Soon the castle of sand has melted
All its glory destroyed
Cruel and careless, the sea has broken
The heart of a little boy.
With tears in eyes the child runs to his father
His father smiles and gently tells his son;
"Enjoy the play of building lovely castles
But remember, son, they are made of sand
Remember, son, they are made of sand.
La la la la la la la la la la la. (2X)
So busy building our walls and fences
Defending our own little space
Calculating all consequences
Driven by the dreams that we chase.
But place and time are just our illusions
Where we play in our magical land
Little children beside the ocean
Carving castles out of sand.
The little boy has grown to be a father
He takes his son each weekend to the sea
With spade and pail the little boy keeps busy
Building kingdoms tirelessly.
And as the waves approach the castle
The son smiles and holds his father's hand
Peacefully they watch the towers tumbling
Remembering they are made of sand
Remembering they are made of sand.
La la la la la la la la la la la. (2X)
Peacefully watch the dreams unravel
Remembering they are made of sand.
Remembering that all is made of sand. (8X)

Sweet Little Bluebird leo genereux 03Mar2017
Sweet little bluebird sing me a love song
Send me to Heaven with your gentle melody
As the morning glistens, I'm ready to listen
This very moment is my ancient destiny.
The sweet little bluebird is the joy that's within me
Awaiting to wake from my choice not to hear
And by sharing his love song the world smiles to greet me
Everyone's breathing the same breath of fresh air.
Remind me each time my spirit declines
Of unspeakable beauty that can fill me with joy
I need but remember your sublime singing
And the embers rekindle, my faith is restored.
The sweet little bluebird remains in my right mind
The choice to be willing to encompass awe.
That sweet little bluebird is endlessly singing
I need but to listen to it's glorious call.
Dark was my forest, where shadows would haunt
Howling night winds, the storms and the strife
But then came the morning, the gold, glowing morning
Bringing the light that restored me to life,
Life.
Sweet little bluebird sing me your love song
My brothers and sisters are waiting to hear
Freedom is given to all with that love song
And all but our joyous Love disappears.
No gap remains between our beings
Totally immersed in the love song you sing
Joined in the instant, joined for forever
Sharing the sound that heals everything.
Sweet little bluebird, sing us a love song
Sweet little bluebird, sing us a love song
Sweet little bluebird, sing us a love song
Sweet little bluebird, sing us a love song.

The Choice Is Mine leo genereux 7Jul2016
The choice is mine, the choice is mine
A gentle Voice reminds me
To choose between the fear of flying
Or soaring high above.
I was wasting time, believing in my fears
Dark moods keeping love from coming near
But choosing light I leave the night behind
The golden glow of dawn begins to shine.
Ahhh......the choice is mine
Ahhh......the choice is mine.
A shabby substitute indeed,
This thing that I called me;
Self-loathing, frail, always in need
And bound to misery.
Imitations not deserving strife
Are the limitations that I placed on life
When choosing love there's nothing that I miss
All the joy I feel is limitless.
Ahhh......the choice is mine
Ahhh......the choice is mine.
Judgment is but a loser's game
Because we're all the same
A sad mistake this world we made
But we can choose again.
Darkness disappearing with the light
That emanates from deep within so bright
Healing all the pain this dreamer feels
Sad little self believing it was real.
Ahhh......the choice is mine
Ahhh......the choice is mine.
The limited cannot exist
For love created all
The ego dreams up differences;
The battleground of forms.
Wasting time believing in its fear
Kept my love from ever coming near
When vision is my choice, vision is mine
And everything I see is redefined
Choosing to erase the curse of night
By remembering my spirit is the light.
Ahhh......the choice is mine
Ahhh......the choice is mine.
The choice is mine, the choice is mine
Always the choice is mine
A gentle voice softly reminds me
Right now the choice is mine. (2X)

Through These Eyes leo genereux 26May2016
Through these eyes
Distortions through tears left uncried
Motives hide, knowingly unknown
Feeding fears felt alone.
Through these eyes
Images of suffering, pain, and demise
Clawing at the fabric of my dream
Threadbare, and unraveling.
This world I see
With all its heartbreaking catastrophes
Tossed by the waves of cruel and raging seas,
Is this survivor really me?
Is this reality
Or am I seeing just what I choose to see?
And what I value makes my world seem real,
So what do my eyes reveal?
An absentee
Who I really am is missing from the 'me'
The way I perceive was conceived to conceal
My true Identity.
As my eyes scan
Littleness tries to make nothingness grand
And the payoff I get for playing these crazy games
Is the pain my ego demands.
Beyond the world I see
There is a world free of tragedy
I choose to see that world instead of this
Through my self-forgiveness.
Through these eyes
I get to view but what I chose to see
And what I perceive always lets me know
Who I believe I am.
Through these eyes
With holiness from within as my only Guide
All that I behold is safe and innocent;
A miracle seen through these eyes.
A miracle seen through these eyes
A miracle seen through these eyes.

X leo genereux 30Sept2017
Without the beat the heart would not survive
Without the breath the form would surely die
Protection from extremes, shelter and clothing
Essentials to maintain the body dream.
The body needs its food to stay alive
Without water it would mummify
The sun to help it grow, the moon to let it know
A special one is waiting by and by.
And when the wind blows cold and uncaring
So many feeble forms get blown away
The throes of sorrows, the dark tomorrows
The hidden dreads each dreamer holds
Behind each dying day.
We played the dream of needs so carefully
We tried to fill each gap with sanity
Together we sustained our many trying games
Scrambling to maintain identities.
How real seemed the feelings that we felt
The bittersweetness now begins to melt
We may at last resign, how fortunate the time
Together spent in our reluctant dream.
Was a bumpy ride to our destination
The long and dusty road led us here
We both can smile in affirmation
This time around, my friend, we finally learned to share.
Without the beat the heart would not survive
without the breath the form would surely die
But what seems to sadly fade, is what illusions made
The truth of Love need never say goodbye.
What seems to sadly fade, are just the games we played
The truth of Love was never really far,
'X' always marks the spot right where we are.
Song inspired by principles of A Course in Miracles, dedicated to my partner, Sue.
C'est Parfait leo genereux 04Apr2016
Everything I did, ever since I was a kid
Trying to get all the bits and pieces to fit.
Now I'm surprised to realize,
That right before my very eyes
Everything is perfect just the way it is.
Every game I'd play always ended up the same
Some other kid wouldn't play like I did and I'd complain.
Sure enough I'd quit, be grumpy and loud about it,
Spit the dummy at my mom and have a fit.
But she'd say:
Perfect, perfect, everything is perfect,
Perfect.
Just the way it is, just the way it is
It's perfect just the way it is.
Later on in school I would enforce all the rules
Dub in the grubs who wouldn't scrub up the washtub.
I was the teacher's pet, but finally though he got sick of it
Drove him berserk with my non-stop over-the-top quirk.
Feeling quite depressed, I finally did confess
My anal wedge was pushing me closer to the edge
Remembering the tune, my dearest mom would croon
I finally did get to loosen up, and sing a bit:
It's perfect, perfect, everything is perfect
Perfect.
Just the way it is, just the way it is
Perfect just the way it is.
It's perfect, c'est parfait
Perfect, c'est parfait
Everything I did, ever since I was a kid
Tryin' to get all the bits and pieces to fit.
My mom gave me a nudge, but til now I never budged
It is just perfect just the way it is!
No matter how I play it, no matter how I say it
So long as I choose to cruise with the way it is
Because it's the way it is.
Now I finally get it, just how my wise mom said it;
May as well choose to lose the blues
'Cause that's the way it is,
Lyrics inspired by my mother, and the teachings in A Course in Miracles.
The I leo genereux 27Apr2016
Before the fall into the deep sleep of misguided dreams
The feeling of eternal love filled all of God's children.
Beyond a world conceived by fear, a timeless place within
The battle's din is muted here the angels gently sing.
To them I bring my guilt and pain I imagined were my friends
So that they may be exchanged for a glimpse of Heaven.
The choice to be enslaved within my fear and misery
Dissolving with a joyful tear from the I that sees.
I, I
Dissolving with a joyful tear
From the I that sees.
I, I
All my sorrows disappear
Through the I that sees.
I can hear the quiet Word above the battleground.
Hate that spans a million years healed by a whispered sound.
All the pain that ever was could never really be
For this timeless place erases all our painful fantasies.
Being enslaved within my fear and misery,
Dissolving with a joyful tear from the I that sees.
I, I
All my sorrows disappear
Through the I that sees.
I, I
Vision brings the end of fear
Through the I that sees.
Beyond the choice to see a world made of misguided dreams
The feeling of eternal love is forever in God's children.
I, I
All my sorrows disappear
Through the I that sees.
I, I
All my brothers joined with me.
Through the I that sees.

Sail Away leo genereux 08/07/2020
Sail away in the moonlight
The sea is calm and the wind is right
Sail away, we need no ship, or sea, or sails
Just hover with our spirit we are lovers
And a song can sail us.
Sail away from our sadness
A gentle breeze will show us how
Sail away, from all the madness of the world we made
No longer anchored to our cares
Allowing our imagined fears be over.
Sail away with me, let us sail away
Sail away with me, let us sail away.
Ooo, the wonder of everlasting love
Every one alive can't refrain from living
Every one in love can't refrain from giving
Give it all.
Sparkle light, make the darkness go
Dispel the loneliness and the yearning
Welcome the peace of God returning
Feel it all.
And let it flow uncontrolled, and send us sailing
Let if flow uncontrolled, free and sailing,
Sailing
Sailing.
Sail away from our longing
Escape the ache of our mistakes
Sail away, bear not the heaviness another day
This instant is our destiny, together we are free
To sail forever.
Sail away from sad tomorrows
The sea is our love, the wind is our song
Sail away, the rays of golden light herald the day
How glorious the dawn, the night has gone
As we sail forever.
Sail away with me let us sail away
Sail away
Sail away with me let us sail away
Sail away
Sail away with me let us sail away
Sail away
Sail away with me let us sail away
Sail away
Sail away.
