Keep The Fire...

There's a river in the
Evening's ember glow,
And you're wishing you could see
How far it flows.

Rolling on to an endless sea
You'd be well on your way,
If you could only set sail.

But dreams can drift away
And sails can fill with doubt,
Where's your vision
If the embers flicker out?

Don't let it slip from view
The horizons are waiting,
Your river is fading...

So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight,
Don't take forever,
Take it through the night.

And believe the sun
Will rise with the dawn,
That's all you need to go on
But for tonight,
Just keep the fire burning bright.

I will never need to ask
What have I done?
Comes a moment when it's clear
There's only one.

Oh, whatever you need of me
I've made up my mind,
I'll give you more than you asked for.

And there are those who can foresee
Where we will go,
All the future
I don't really want to know;

Only that you'll be here with me
While the embers still glow,
We'll be safe until tomorrow..

So keep the fire burning tonight
See just what comes into sight,
Don't take forever,
Just take it through the night.

And believe the sun 
Will rise with the dawn,
That's all you need to go on,
But for tonight,
Just keep the fire burning bright.

Who are you?
Where are you?
You're not alone, 
it's so wonderful...

Who are you?
Where are you?
You're not alone,
It's so wonder-full.

In gratitude,

So very, very blessed!!
Wonderful news to Share!

Friends,
I am so very pleased and proud to share that my little book
"Interpretations - Poetic Visions of the Tao the Ching"
is now on the shelves, and available at Banyen Books
effective today!
More than a dream come true, and to share the same shelves
as my late great mentor Dr Wayne Dyer, and so many other
famous spiritual writers, (well), it all just feels a bit overwhelming.
It is authored under my first two given names "Raymond Paul"
and the best part about all of this is that my proceeds from the sales
of my book all go directly to Canuck Place Children's Hospice.
My sincerest thanks to Banyen Books for all of their support,
and for taking a chance on me.
Barney Books is located at 3608 West 4th Ave. (or) online at

So very, very blessed!!
