WATERLINE (c) Justine Bradley
Tryin' to keep my head above the waterline
But my mind keeps overthinking
My spirit’s slowly sinking
And my feet can’t keep their hold against the undertow
Every deep division, each borderline defines
Every dark decision in a mind-
Only love conquers fear, so shine your light into the darkness
Oh humanity!
Will we remember
All of life is precious?! so shine your light into the darkness
Lust for power and privilege
Inciting hateful crimes
Consequence is never truly blind
Only love conquers fear, so shine your light into the darkness
Kindness and compassion
A quest for empathy
Will heal the disconnection
That plagues humanity
Only love conquers fear, so shine your light into the darkness

BEFORE THE DAWN (c) Justine Bradley
Shimmering darkness restores my heart
This dazzling silence prepares me for song
As I stir from my dreams, to feel the softness in the sunrise
To witness life as hope ignites every secret heart’s desire
Between these two worlds, such mystery
Reverie lingers in soft muted tones
Till the dawn turns her blush into the boldness of the sunrise
And urges life to reach into every secret heart’s desire

BACK TO THE LIGHT (c) Justine Bradley
He told me he missed me
Confessed as a younger man
He was in love with me
He sang about beauty
Straight from his open heart
Longing for freedom
Love has always been his one faithful compass
I sing to his memory
To honour connection
Never forsaken
If love is an ocean
We are all rolling waves
Breaking on separate shores
Love will always be our one faithful compass
Lingering in his legacy
Melodies on a gentle breeze
Underscored by the pulse of life and
Love will always leads us back to the light
This chasm divides us
And only in spirit now
Can I reach him
He told me he missed me
Confessed as a younger man
He was in love with me
Love will always leads us back to the light

VENUS AND THE DUCHESS (c) Justine Bradley
Waiting at the rainbow’s edge
Wishing on a shooting star
Echoes of our destinies
Reflected by the moon
Carried on an ocean breeze
Whispered by a million trees
Fragments of a boundless love
Told only by the moon
Scattered over ocean waves
Shadows playing on her face
Ever-changing dappled light
Reflections of the moon
Beating in these hearts that bring
Fathomless devotion to my life
Fragments of a boundless love
Told only to the moon
Beyond emotion we may strive to understand
Or comprehend life’s mysteries
Yet if acceptance of this moment can invite serenity
Then here I’ll be singing to the moon

WHEN PEACE HOLDS IT’S GROUND (c) Justine Bradley
Young runners take a message
To ignite their cause
With prayer and with burning love
Standing Rock is born
Hand in hand, heart to heart
To weather every storm
When greed and hate and brutal force
When fierce the blizzard bites
When faced with cruel atrocities
Met with peaceful prayers
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
The sacred fire burns
To change the course of destiny
True power will emerge
From Peace that stands it’s ground
Peace that holds its ground
The spark of love rekindling
This fire in all hearts
When seventh generations
And rainbow warriors
Join hand in hand,
Heart to heart
The message will unite
To change the course of destiny
True power will emerge
From Peace that stands it’s ground
Peace that holds its ground

Shimmering darkness restores my heart

Reverie lingers in soft muted tones
Till the dawn turns her blush into the boldness of the sunrise
And urges life to reach into every secret heart’s desire

WATER IS OUR LIFELINE (c) Justine Bradley
Prayers for the frontline
To face brutality
A call to awaken
All humanity
Protecting a river-
Cause Water is our Lifeline
How hard it snows there
They’re blanketed in white
It takes a mountain of courage
Just to make it through the night
Protecting a river-
Cause Water is our Lifeline
For all these lost to greed and fear
The messages are clear
To heal those fractured hearts
With forgiveness and love
Protecting our rivers-
Cause Water is our Lifeline
Seventh generations
And veterans align
With kindred spirits
From the four winds
Synergy entwined
Protecting a river-
Cause Water is our Lifeline
Resonance of ages,
Songs of unity
Resilient courage
And the moral compass to believe
in Protecting our rivers-
Cause Water is our Lifeline

Hurricane of Grace

HURRICANE OF GRACE (c) Justine Bradley
It started with a simple sensation
That was named an emotion
Then conjured a believable storyline
Like a hound gnawing on a bone
Couldn’t leave it alone
Before I knew it,
My state of mind was gone
then I remembered this:
I am standing in the flow
Of a hurricane of grace
Opportunities to grow
Are in the challenges I face
Lead me to explore the way to walk in grace
It is the essence of all love and creativity
It started with a fleeting thought-wave
Like a cloud ‘cross the sky
Once it had commanded my focus
Like a hound gnawing on a bone
Couldn’t leave it alone
Before I knew it,
My peace at heart was gone
then I remembered this:
I am standing in the flow
Of a hurricane of grace
Opportunities to grow
Are in the challenges I face
Lead me to explore new ways to walk in joy
It is the essence of all life and deep serenity
Do you believe your mind!?
Do you trust your emotions?
Who are you, when you have peace at heart?

Sweet Diva. (c) Justine Bradley
Fifteen years ago, life changed forever
A bundle of pure joy and innocent presence
Sweet Diva, you brought me back to life and then
Sweet Diva, you taught me how to love again
Sweet Diva, you brought love back to life
Adventurous at heart
A gentle, loving soul
You touched so many lives
In your precious lifetime
Sweet Diva, you brought me back to life and then
Sweet Diva, you taught me how to love again
Sweet Diva, you brought love back to life

SOUNDWAVES AND SILENCE (c) Justine Bradley
Where once the brightest vision
Shone a beacon to inspire
Darkness claimed a stranglehold
Upon a fragile mind
But when fracture lines appear
And courage conquers fear
The journey becomes clear
So hope can gather near
Nurtured by the wings of desire
Carried by the life force of breath
Measured in sound waves and silence- heartbeats
Should you dare contemplate
Another day to wait
May you find strength of mind
To embrace your fate
Can you take life as if comes?
Will you search until you find
One single ray of light
To pardon all your past?
You are more than this fleeting state of mind
More than lingering emotions
Measured in sound waves and silence- heartbeats
