Simple Beauty

Day 7 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

Simple Beauty

the sky is clear, no clouds no mist
the sea is blue from Sun's warm kiss
the air is filled with morning sounds
simple beauty all surrounds -

my heart beats fast, I feel your touch
though far away it means so much
I smell the sea I think of you
because we're joined just out of view -

above the air, the atmosphere
electric space is always near
we spin we turn from time to time
we live we learn there's more to find -

becoming new with each breath
which we inhale from birth to death
we disappear as we awake
rising up once more we shake

off the darkness of old thought
what we believed, what we were taught
it's not the way we're meant to be
living life, both you and me -

the sky is clear, no clouds no mist
the sea is blue from Sun's warm kiss
the air is filled with morning sounds
simple beauty all surrounds -

So Sweet

Day 6 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

so sweet

every moment which we share
minutes, lifetimes fill the air
fill the ether's magic touch
step by step I feel so much

anticipation, vibrating
visions in my mind, waiting
for the moment when we meet
in the morning, it's so sweet

all is more than you and me
although we both act carefully
I know you know I love you
you know I feel the way I do

my heart singing oh so lightly
looking forward, dreaming nightly
in the morning when we meet
there is no moment quite so sweet

Death at Sea

Day 3 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

Death at Sea

while drifting on the ocean
while floating on the sea
moved by the gentle motion
as waves roll under me

the air, its soft caresses
the Sun, its warm embrace
my pain becoming less as
the smell of sea I taste -

on the distant shoreline
mountains rising to the sky
from my heart and from my mind
now I begin to fly

above the ocean's endless
heaving breathing deep
between white clouds I wend as
I rise as if from sleep -

from a world of shadows
into universal light
what I believed I had so
close and held so very tight

evaporates like mist at dawn
when Sun climbs into sky
away from Earth again reborn...
what it's like to die

while drifting on the ocean
while floating on the sea
moved by the gentle motion
waves rolling under me...

No Big Bang

Day 2 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

No Big Bang

Siberia's a state of mind
filled with all the things we find
when the vastness of the land
dwarfs us like small grains of sand

like poplar seeds blown in the wind
who we thought we were we've been
and in this moment we become
greater than we thought, we're one

with this haze of air near ground
with un-heard noise, electric sound
unseen fingers from afar
filling space between each star

in twisted coils the currents flow
from beyond the dark halo
galactic ghosts there dwell unseen
ultra-violet x-ray steam

on and on there is no end
no big bang, no beginning when
time began with no before
the priests of science and religion's law

evaporates like morning dew
in never ending me and you
when the vastness of the land
dwarfs us like small grains of sand

like poplar seeds blown in the wind
who we thought we were we've been
and in this moment we become
greater than we thought, we're one...
