souls in dreams

Day 7 Month 5 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

Souls in Dreams

the wind is blowing but not down here
in fog enshrouded shoreline we're
mist-ified, been in a haze
of water drops for days and days

the Sun is shining on the hills
above where fog has crept and spills
into how we feel in early morn
with lighter grey the only dawn

where souls in dreams, souls to be born
whispered last night they'll be torn
from paradise to Earth it's clear
they're coming back again they're near -

mothers, sons, grandchildren too
altogether to get through
the rest of life and through today
'cos this is where we come to play

this is where we come to feel
that all is one and we are real
'though mystified, 'though in a haze
'though sky is just a blend of greys

the wind is blowing but not down here
in fog enshrouded shoreline we're
mist-ified,  been in a haze
of water drops for days and days

the Sun is shining on the hills
above where fog has crept and spills
into how we feel in early morn
with lighter grey the only dawn

where souls in dreams, souls to be born
whispered last night they'll be torn
from paradise to Earth it's clear
they're coming back again they're near -

delusion's high priests

Day 3 Month 5 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

delusion's high priests

Sedna, Xena*, Titan too
mysterious world's like Neptune's blue
Martian whirlwinds, lunar light
the Great Red Spot on Jupiter might

be where Venus recently born
upset Mars whose air was torn
with lightning bolts on cosmic scale
raining stones on Earth like hail

plasma tails, magnetic heat
space not empty full of sweet
electricity's whizzing pops
always spinning nothing stops

Mercury's ice in Sun's hot fire
Pluto/Charon never tire
locked in place they rise and fall
up and down like bouncing balls

Comets Halley and Hale/Bopp
not icy balls but spinning tops
x-ray sources, gamma rays
plasma pinches which amaze

gravity holding theories down
old time science still is found
in black holes and in big bangs
eternity's something they don't understand

once they believed the world was flat
now they believe from numbers we're at
the centre just like before
Galileo showed there's very much more

scientific believers now fill the unknown
with monsters invented in minds and then thrown
all about us as if really real
no beginning nor end just doesn't appeal

to mathematicians, delusion's high priests
redshift's not distance, quasars are pieces
of galaxies ejected at birth
just like the truth here on the Earth...

Warm Glowing Ember

Day 2 Month 5 - 13 Moon Calendar

Audio/Video

Warm Glowing Ember

the sea in November
the rain, rain, rain
makes me remember
the same, same, same

warm glowing ember
again and again
which I felt in September
no pain, pain, pain

no dark days no gloomy
emotional tides
because you could see through me
there was nowhere to hide

electric spark feelings
kept flowing between
our inner beings
as if in a dream

summer was ending
still lingering around
while we were both sending
words without sound

from your world to my world
from my world to yours
the love we were sharing
kept opening doors

exposing expanding
feelings within
as if we were standing
in heaven deep in

a tropical garden
with flowers so bright
nothing was marred in
love's bright shining light

now it's November
and the rain, rain, rain
makes me remember
again and again

what I felt in September
the same, same, same
warm, glowing ember
no pain, pain, pain
