Broken Bridges
By Donnie Adams
A broken bridge in time
Signal from the heart got lost in the mind
Ever so clear, the tone of the love
That entered the heart and ventured in blood
Singing a song, up to above
But drowned out by memories
Of never met, extended hands
Expectations and made plans
Promises and honest eyes
Left in the cold ‘til forever ends
So the body’s lost
Moving to a groove that’s probably false
And filled with fear
So them bones rattle, that spine crooked
And them eyes shook on the crook of tears
This book of pain, covered in clothes
Shiny diamonds and rings of gold
Things that glow, over a darkness
Bleeding a dream and in need of soul
Forget what he knows blocking the flow
Open his eye, let the song rise,
Undivided and providing a vibe
That defines and aligns we beings alive
In all our glory, all our shine
All our stories, combined in time
Relaxing now, to that sound of love
A feeling inside, feel it inside
A broken bridge in time
Signal from the heart got lost in the mind

Reconstruction
By Donnie Adams
They said the lights was on right
Like the night was gone
Bright, like a crisp kiss delivered through this microphone
Why is it so amazing
Everyday in this fragrance
Sky, laying the pavement
I, play in my favorite
Pie, tasting the flavors
Riding through this groove
Provided by this truth
It’s cool and never new
Forever, it’s been the sound
The style wow
Maybe the proof too
Let it seduce you
Cause every time I’m in this space and see a face with a frown
I cry
A glimpse of a soul, holding the truth
Proud as now and showing it too
Forgetting a how, is what it do
Living it through, signaling you
Similar often to sun and song
Raising a poem way up
Into a home lay up
That’s what we born to do like
Given the cycle of life in this time
Spending it wise, sending the vibes
Miracles, Bringing ‘em live
‘Til the beings grow wings
And the dreams ‘ll rise
Flying inside untying the pain
Changed the whole game up
Loving the rain now
Ain’t have to move but we came up
Cause every time I’m in this space and see a face with a frown
I cry
Taking broken pieces
Mosaic of hope and leeches
Today is the open season
For waving the flag of reason
Cause even gangstas want peace in these streets
And easy breathing
Can see it deep in they eyes
That demon ready to die
Steady and high the gaze
The night sky the stars
That milky way of ours
Regarded as home scars
From losing the path are
The map to make it back
To the fact that we are gods
At-large playing are parts
Cause every time I’m in this space and see a face with a frown
I cry

Faith
Written by Donnie Adams and Arisa Safu
What’s here for me, dear pen
Spirits are ya hearing me,
Bet ya’ll get annoyed by that fear in me
Them angel numbers, all around steady cheering me
But often drowned by the sound of doubt and what appears to be
My failures, or lessons, whatever let me tell you that I’m stressing
But my guess is that you knew that
Please show me where the glue at
The shoes at, that fit my feet and keep me grounded balanced
In this rabbit hole with Alice thirsty trying to find the chalice
Have a little faith in me, there’s a fire burning true, after all that we’ve been through, we deserve something good, don’t we all
What’s that huh, it’s right here
I heard it before
Supposed to see it so much light here but I’m hurting for more
Gave me the keys and support but won’t turn to the door
Riches on the other side but addicted to poor, poor
Me, seeing opportunities fly by like a demon in dreams
So I’m hiding
Diving in a spell of hope and broken plans
Stranded in a hell that’s cloaked as open land
Have a little faith in me, there’s a fire burning true, after all that we’ve been through, we deserve something good, don’t we all
Still at the table betting on myself and faithful that the game is rigged
Aimed to give pain and take my change and split
Claim a little flame but leaving me hanging with no way to live
Basking, in all of my passion, ‘bout to cash, in, and then
A strong wind blew a memory of no particular time
But dipped in an intricate energy
With the symmetry of sun and soul, me and life
One to know, remembered to grow, remembered the rites
Have a little faith in me, there’s a fire burning true, after all that we’ve been through, we deserve something good, don’t we all
Felt the keys in my pocket again
Saw the door walked up unlocked it and then
What a shock saw myself with no blockages and
A beautiful smile
Eyes just watching the wind
Carrying love
Above me was the heavens
Below me was the heavens
Inside me was a god that brought it together blessing
Eternity and ALL the peace no longer resting
And awake to the self that we are
Free in the essence

It Shines
Written by Donnie Adams
A figure from my past life passed into the picture
Now I’m picking up the pieces of the scriptures
Long list of wrongs and the way to get back home
This weight on my backbone’s unbearable
20-ton thoughts, let me share a few
Listen close, open up your heart so we can share a view
Daring you, to try my shoes, blue but not suede
Wading in the water but not saved, Jesus
Thought I had something like Yeezus
But he got believers, sweet mother of peace
Why did you leave us
Oh it was me and my belligerent demons, should’ve
Paid to lift the curse and take the cleaning
But I’m too rehearsed in giving without receiving
Living without a reason, swimming in open seas
Regardless of the season, yeah
Some real artist shit, head harder than bricks
Fed letters to lyrics, but the sad part of it is
Wisdom comes in and bends into a rhyme
But it’s much more time ‘for it bends into my mind
Swims into my actions, bringing my heart to shine
But the sweet part is that it shines
Shines
Bringing my love
Into the light
Letting me know
That it’s alright,
It’s alright
A light so gorgeous, fight for more of this
Forward in exploring the corridors opening
A night so flawless, auroras showing all us
Called out of the fog, we saw what started all this
Stars that never fall, it’s something we called home
It’s something we all own, it’s something we all on
Gone
On a flight to right now
I smile and the tree smiles back, I write down
A love story
Between my heart and mind emotions and time
Combined with everything behind my life now
Divine mission
Tuning into transmissions
Sent to myself from myself posted in different dimensions this is
Just listening, minus the wanting more
Divided by nothing or, united forever more
You damn right it’s idealistic
Tell me why would I deal with it, if it wasn’t for better shores
Knocking on heaven’s door, saw I’m on the inside
My fear and the door disappeared
Became clear my heart beats with every inch I
Measured in experience, hearing it and appearances
Steering it into clearances, peering from where I sent my
First vibe, clutched in the surf I, touched to the Earth
Then burst into birth with my third eye
Shocked by my mind’s imagination and binds but it shines,
Shines
Bringing my love
Into the light
Letting me know
That it’s alright,
It’s alright

Whispers of You
Written by Donnie Adams
Saw your face like light up in the clouds, had me on my wow
What is that a smile, star showers shouting out
Can I get a whisper of your wisdom, promise that I listen
Eyes glisten like the truth, ooh, missing lies, you and I
Something universal like the proof of magic, poof
Rabbits out of hats, my habits fly away
My past is the path, to your passion as we fly away
They can catch us laugh, tell em save the date
Now forever and forever known
This home, this is us, this is trust, it’s a must
Plus, perfect timing and too late
Like maybe we’ll make ‘em all, take a break and recall
The greatest day of ‘em all, and crawl out of the fog
And awwwww
We going in like what’s up
The heavens that’s below us and holding this golden opus
That opens into our souls, so beautiful majestic
The essence of what we love, a blessing in every hug
O your aura or a glimpse of your empathy into me
Promise faithfully
We’ll make the centuries mention we
Ascended side by side, twin flames we rise
Unchained from time, we been here before
We’ll be back again, to open the doors
To greet ‘em all in, from crossing the shores
Into the force of being
Of being one on the course, finding the source
Of unconditional love, we are it and nothing more
