Where We Played

Day 14 Month 1 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

where we played

now you've gone
 you've slipped away
from the seashore
 where we played
I'm still here
 by ocean blue
I still dream
 I am with you -
imagination
seems so real
 imagining the day
when we'll
be together
 share a touch
I love you
so very much -
all around
 I feel you near
hear you, see you
 taste you, we're
coming closer
 although apart
because we are one
 in our hearts -
we're transformed
 we are renewed
cells and atoms
 feelings too
you are ocean
 deep deep blue
I am sky
 we're one, not two -
now you've gone
 you've slipped away
from the seashore
 where we played
I'm still here
 by ocean blue
I still dream
 I am with you -

The One

Day 13 Month 1 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video
the one

molecules of atmosphere
smell so sweet now you are near
diamond glints of light rebound
from your eyes to all around
aura shining gold and blue
sparkling 'round the edge of you
scintillating thoughts reach deep
mesmerizing wake from sleep
from the darkness from before
yesterday now seems so poor
Ali Baba's treasure cave
is nothing next to what you gave
when you came into my world
wrapped in rainbows colour swirled
angels sang through birds above
and all around I felt your love
electric green air tasted fresh
you in me we're all enmeshed
butterflies and flowers bright
twinkling stars and Moon at night
mountains soaring up to sky
where clouds drift by and eagles fly
oceans deep where rivers rush
through canyons deep in forests lush
breathing just like you and me
in and out so naturally
visions stream when I see you
looking at me you are who
shimmers in the morning Sun
all day too you are the one

No One Else

Day 11 Month 1 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video


you're no one else


moment to moment
breath by breath
you're no one else
from birth to death
from waking from dreaming
to falling asleep
to dreaming you're waking
to waking in deep
understanding
relax in the flow
there's nowhere else
for you to go -
moment to moment
breath by breath
you're no one else
from birth to death 
alone you were never
apart from the one
all manifest in
the always, become
we who we are here
because it's the place
we manifest in
this infinite space -
moment to moment
breath to breath
you're no one else
from birth to death
each thought, all thinking
ideas as they race
the place where you're living
this place you must face
moment to moment
breath to breath
you're no one else
from birth to death -

The Owl and the Pussycat

Day 9 Month 1 - 13 Moon Calendar



The Owl and the Pussy-cat

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'

Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Written by Edward Lear (1812-1888)
