Acknowledgements

I first must give all Gratitude to The One . . .

. . . from where ALL things Come and thus Return.

Besides my beautiful and Colorful Landscape of Friends, Family

Humanity, i wish to take this time to acknowledge that which

sustains us all . . . The Mother Spirit of Life . . . Earth.

The Mother of all Life provides us with the Water, the Food, The

Air . . . all the essential Manifestations and Character of Her

Existence. She is the Life Force for the Body and the Spirit of

who we are. She herself resides in the Spirit of the One . . the

Creator. It matters not by which name we call our God(s), but

more importantly that we learn to adopt the reverence for Life

and the significance of the Beauty of Balance and the Rules by

which we are allowed to coexist here.

My Journey has taken me through many Delusions, Illusions and

Collusions, but yet i still stay on this path seeking Truth and the

WHY. So at this time i wish to acknowledge all those wonderful

forces of life found in all forms of life that have assisted me in

Seeing and Feeling the Song that Life sings !

. . . a Wise Old Tree

i spoke to a Wise Old Tree

and this is what he had to say

that even a Wise Old Tree

does not always get his way

he said sometimes theres stormsthat strips all my leaves

and sometimes we dance

to the soft ticklish breeze

and each and every day

the Sun again does rise

and i follow its light warmthacross the painted skies

sometimes i am a home

for the homeless birds

and within my embrace

they chirp to me Gods words

but i plant my roots

firmly in the soiland i hold on to life

as each day i toil

but thats not important

as we cling to this life

for one endures and lives

through all of ones strife

for life breeds characterthrough its ups and downs

imparting smiles of wisdom

where there once was frowns

so dont ever succumb

nor ever give in

sow seeds of new life and love

and live again and again

2008 : William S. Peters, Sr.

. . . so may i

i am beautifully endowed

for i have cloaked myself

with the raiment of the word of life . . .

Love

as the Trees without fail

spread their limbs

to embrace the nurturing Light of Thy love

. . . so may i

as their root reaches down

in the dark Mother Earth with constancyto drink of Thy Spiritual Water of Life

. . . so may i

as they bring forth and bud

and Blossom that they may

yield their Fruit to all that hunger

. . . so may i

as they flow with the Winds

and yield to the Storms

while groaning and clapping and whispering

to the Song of Life

. . . so may i

may i faithfully as a Treereach out to the Heavens

to embrace Life, your Lovewithout fail

. . . so may i
