SHINE SOME LOVE RIGHT NOW
Jim Cleveland 3-25-08
If there is a time for magic,
Please, let’s make it now.
If there’s room for a miracle,
How about bringing it ‘round.
The world’s on fire with hurting
All our visions they’re subverting
If there’s love we’re asserting
Let’s do it now.
If there’s time to make for giving
Let’s make it now.
If there’s any place that needs love,
Seems it’s everywhere around.
The world is ripe to know some.
It’s time for us to grow some.
And to share that fruit with others,
Let’s share it now.
If there’s confusion in your mind,
Go to Stillness now.
If there are questions that confound you,
Ask the Father why and how.
Then new in spirit, you will find
Sustaining faith in God sublime
When you feel the guiding presence
Feel it now.
When you look around, you’ll see the ground
Where greed has run unbound.
We can wash this ground, let love abound.
The time is urgent, now.
Then wherever you go, you’ll magnetize
With love’s great inner glow
Make love your face, show all some grace
They’re hungry for it now.
Show some love right now.

About the Book
Songs and Celestial Sources
In Celestial Songbook 2, we continue the stream of consciousness, perhaps super-consciousness, that creates songs. Here is another collection that ranges beyond the spiritual into wider human issues, slices of experience and attitude that define our beings, heart-rending romantic experiences that stir our emotions.
Part one includes a myriad of expressions from talking blues satire to cowboy and gunfighter stories. Part two collects poignant and often emotional rhymes about our love lives. Part three returns to familiar spiritual passions, with bold exposures of our follies, and love-lined appeals for higher spiritual values to save our troubled world.
In the first Celestial Songbook, I related how lyrics can apparently flow from celestial sources. I was never a songwriter or poet, but I have been an avid and open-minded explorer of spiritual phenomenon and a transmitter of supernal teachers for many years. This is a sharing of what I consider co-creativity with a ministering wave of celestial teachers and artisans who are helping humankind develop a higher spiritual consciousness and to discover, beyond human dogma, a personal relationship with God, our Father, through daily Stillness time.
All that said, I am not unique or anyone special. Many humans have discovered this, and millions more will. Songwriters and poets know of the mysterious Muse and have their own ideas about it. Melody writers pluck tunes out of some special air. Words come into the minds of those who seek to express them. Who could explain all this? Not me. I simply enjoy the co-creative path that’s open. I’m pleased to share these lyrics and poetry, while encouraging you to find your own co-creativity in the quest for truth, beauty and goodness, and much will come forth.
Love and Light,
Jim Cleveland
