My Father; was standing by the ocean,
just looking at the black Horizon
He stood there, alone for a long Time
I walked up and stood beside Him
I grabbed the fingers, of his Hand
Together,
we watched the light, of the Rising Sun
He knelt down and looked into my eyes
and said, will you walk with me down the Beach?
Son, I have many things,
I must tell you about this wonderful Life
I have traveled the great Oceans, to learn,
the important Truths of Nature
As he walked,
he looked down at the wet sand and said,
My Father told me, as a young Boy;
“that every Footstep, is really a poem of your Life
and each Poem, is your footprint in the Sands of Antiquity”
We stopped and turned, to look behind us,
at our footprints
but,
I could only see, my little Footprints
As we walked,
he just stared at the red sun, it was a beautiful new Day
He loved the waves, as they splashed against his Legs
Then, a big wave, knocked me Over
He picked me up and put me on top,
of his Shoulders
I could see, as far, out to into the Ocean,
as my Father . . . . .
Father said, can you hear the ancient voice of the Ocean
the silence of the Roar, is calling your. . . . . Name??
We will walk together, forever my Son
but, there is little time left, this Day
So, I leave You with my Poems, from a Life of joy, my Son
because,
I must soon leave, and go away . . . . .

A young Student......Dylan asked his Mentor,
how can I,
become a Wiseman
The Master replied, a Man’s signature, is his measure of Respect
Forgetfulness is the testimony of life, do you have a Plan
Corruption, is moral reasoning, without Regret
In a dungeon of time, we search for our own Completion
The sun shines through our eyes, where could you Hide
How can you transform a Man’s Destiny, without a Lifelong Mission?
The accumulation of experience, is the magnitude of your Pride
The “Book of Genesis,” examines, what really makes us Happy
Intelligence is the manifestation of a Man’s Wisdom, into his Spirit
Why do we look into the flames of creation and stare Blindly
As the reflection on your face shows your Skill and Merit
A Teacher, plants the seeds of curiosity, just like an ancient Farmer
The accumulation of knowledge, has unlocked many Mysteries
How long will it take you, to find, the Originality in your Honor
Your Genius, will astound the world, for many Centuries
“theTruthfulness” in your Voice,” is the history of your Journey
As you reach the end of your life, your circle has become Whole
With your smile and our love of music, you are no Phony
The work you leave behind,
personifies
“the Depth of your Soul”

“I am a beautiful White Tiger, walking across
a Mountain ridge
with
“theWind” of Time,
blowing my majestic fur
to give my feet direction upon “thePath.”
YOU,
are standing on a nearby Mountain,
watching through a Cosmic Telescope,
as I move,
so, very gracefully
from each rugged ledge to the TOP,
the summit of the Mountain, where I will roar,
my Destiny of “theTruth”
at “theWind” in boldness,
as
I find “theWay,”
Never, looking down at the distant Clouds and Mist below,
which, are under my feet, but always knowing
in my eternal Soul, they wished,
they were I . . . . .

“theEthics” of Honorable Intelligence
a Philosophy, Poetry, and International Songbook
The title of the book and the 5-Cd Anthology are called, “theEthics” of Honorable Intelligence, a Philosophy, Poetry, and International Songbook, which is my 3rd book, but it was not the first book, I wanted to publish. Actually, it was 2nd in line, after the 4th book, “The Greedy Business of Life,” because I scripted this manuscript to be produced as a movie. I had to make a final decision, to wait and publish this poetry songbook in a couple of years, because I will write a lot more poetry and songs.
The reason for publishing this book first is the book will attract an International audience
just to find out:
what in the hell is going to happen to all these songs
that no one has ever heard,
a little intrigue for the future.
Years of research and writing in my books were dramatically changed in March and April of 2012; when I experienced and nurtured my unforgettable day-by-day international adventure to transcribe 36-original iridescent poems of songs to the music of these inexplicable musical artists. I was not surprised to learn later, that Missa Johnouchi, Shao Rong and Jia Peng Fang had played at Carnegie Hall.
The following are a few songs; I composed and demo-recorded to their own music:
9-songs to Missa Johnouchi –The Mind is a Sense, of Destiny - 35:23 min 50-verses or 200-lines dedicated to Missa Johnouchi
8-songs to Jia Peng Fang – The Quintessence of Wisdom - dedicated to Master Meng Tzu
5-Songs to Shao Rong – The Woman in the Reflection - dedicated to Shao Rong
5-songs to Naoyuki Onda – The Thief of Wisdom - dedicated to Dr. Carl Sagan
Walking in Clouds - dedicated to Dr. Michio Kaku
4-songs to Jiang Xiao-Qing - The Depth of Your Soul - dedicated to the Students & Children of the World
1-song to Jimi Hendrix - Incredible Never Before Seen - 9:58 min 25-verses or 100-lines dedicated and tribute to the Life of Jimi Hendrix
1-song to Carlos Santana – The Hidden Art of Genius - 15:34 min 37-verses or 148-lines dedicated to: The Geniuses of Humanity - Carlos Santana
1-song to Robin Trower – The Silence of Death - 7:41 min dedicated to: the Ancient Poets of Human Enlightenment
1-song to Allman Brothers – A Lonely Genius - 6:23 min dedicated to the Genius in Your Son / Daughter
1-songs to Jean-Luc Ponty – Unconditional Love - dedicated to: Princess Diana Spencer of Wales
What I have stated is true, but it's the lyrical content within each song that entices, a closer look at "theTruth" of nature and Humanity.
So, I changed all my life plans, to publish this book now, because if I started writing my next book, the world would be waiting for an eternity. I wrote the 4th book in 2004 and I demo-produced the 5-Cd’s in 2012. Together, they have been lingering for 7-years in a timeless drawer with many other literary works. I meditated for years about this conundrum of artistic sharing and painfully contemplated selling Shao’s painting on eBay, but it did not matter how much money she would sell for, it would probably not be sold to Shao.
This is the reason why I put Shao’s painting on the book cover
as a final attempt to contact the Musicians
My only intent has been to share the songs with these artists if they decided they did not want to collaborate that would be absolutely fine because I have tons of work to keep me happy. There are many things in life, money cannot purchase and this was absolutely one of those Ethical Principles of Life. If you put Shao’s painting on eBay, how much would you sell her for?
So, I decided to publish my book and keep
Shao Rong’s painting illuminating my living room.
Look into her eyes, they beckon you,
close your eyes,
as she entices you into
her world of eternal harmony
listen closely, can you hear
Shao is playing her favorite song
"True Love.”
“How to find “theWay” of God

The first step toward finding
“thePath”

and your own Self-Reflection

“theDiscovered” Enlightenment of the Heart Psyche'-4
The History of the 5-CD albums:
While sitting at my desk, I demo-recorded many of my Irridecesent Lyrical Songs composed to the music of Missa Johnouchi, Shao Rong and the Liu Hua Ensemble I called the album, “theDiscovered” Enlightenment of the Heart. I had been listening to music and writing all through college, as well as every day of my life, but when I started creating to these new albums, their ambient music filled the air with a new passionate adventure for my life. The demo-5-Cd’s are a testament to the profound unity between the music and iridescent lyrics.
I listened to this album for 8-years, many, many times, as I continued to reinforce epigrams of behavioral modifications and to write my philosophy, poems, and songs.
It was during these years that songs like “The Mind is a Sense of Destiny” which, challenged my Heart and Mind to triangulate their syzygy with my Soul, enriching the power of my iridescent-literary focus.
When I finished,
there were 50-verses or 200-lines,
the challenge was so vast,
there was never time to repeat
a single line and with a title
like this, how could I articulate
“theTruth” to "theWinds" of Time
whispering
"The Mind is another Sense, of Destiny"
