It Waits for You
Is an Angel flashing at me again?
My senses glow with an awakening
Running through my heart,
Like waves of Spring spreading across
The forest floors before the leaves.
Calling me again through
Eyes so sweet and clear,
Drawing me with shimmering,
Discovering holy songs
Fill the world’s airways.
The choir’s celestial song flows
Through my veins today
Sounding my depths
Like a mermaid seeking life,
Or is it just a dream?
A flash that merges the chanting
Voices into a single tone so silent
That God can be heard calling,
Or is it the natural shining
Reaching out from the infinite
Naturally creating life each moment?
An opening to the waves of light,
A joy that dances like sun
On edges of the waves of time,
Or flower fairies dancing
In circles in the moonlight,
Who really knows?
But I cannot resist,
I am drawn towards this heaven
Like a child coming home,
I see it in everyone’s eyes
Glowing behind their masks
Waiting to be released
From deep shadows.

It comes suddenly from unknown streets. A miss directed shot of vengeance strikes The child at play and shatters a family's peace. A raging madman hurling his hatred At a helpless victim in a darkened alley Ends a lifetime... Read more...

As well as being a poet Paul David Walker has been coaching the leaders of Fortune 500 and mid-size companies for over twenty-five years. In this uniquely poetic book about the secrets of great leaders, Paul reveals some of the deeper principles behind creating new realities, which Paul believes is the job of a leader. He takes you on a journey into the heart and mystery of leadership forming a foundation for any leader to become truly great.
The stream of poetry in this special book flows back over four decades of Paul's life journey. These beautiful and timeless poems reflect his uncanny ability to see the beauty in everyone and everything, as well as the deeply felt concern for the human condition. His words will at times strike a gentle cord, and at other times strike like lightning.
In this beautiful collection of poems, Paul takes us on a journey of his "glimpses" into the creative intelligence behind the universe through his own eyes and heart. He captures with deep simplicity our experience as human beings on this planet as we seek to transcend our self, and collective, limitations. It has been said that awareness comes in the gaps between the thoughts of our way-too-busy minds. Paul inspires us and encourages us to pay attention to the glimpses found in those gaps. Enjoy the journey!
