Storm

Day 21 Month 7 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

storm

water on the ocean splash
water on me walking dash
water on the trees drip drip
water falls so life can sip

water from the sky it drops
on city streets and mountain tops
water pooling flowing down
from all the rooftops in the town

last night a storm came rolling in
thunder clapped 'twas such a din
awake from sleep before the dawn
lightning bolts in sky were born

water from the ocean far
away from shore where we all are
evaporation's unseen mist
has blown to here now earth is kissed

nature's love is all around
splitter splatter raindrops' sound
churgling gurgling streams flow by
filled with water from the sky

Sun on ocean's bringing back
the magic potion we all lack
water water we love you
we are grateful happy too

your return and your soft touch
is what we need so very much

Daughters of Elysium

Day 20 Month 7 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

daughters of Elysium

the daughters of Elysium
shimmer in the light
in waves of heat now rising
Sun shining oh so bright

fields of reeds caressed by winds
blowing on to shore
ocean deep with sky above
to where the mountains soar -

you are on my mind again
you are in my heart
joined we are forever more
even when apart -

it's paradise on Earth when you
sparkle into view
just a touch inside the hush
colours red to blue -

you are in the sky, the sea
the earth all dressed in green
you are in my thoughts, I'm free
awake I'm in a dream -

rippling waters sparkling splash
through the forests rush
the daughters of Elysium
dance in nature lush -

in fields of reeds caressed by winds
blowing on to shore
you are on my mind again
in forever more -

Unattached

Day 19 Month 7 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

unattached

crystal shattered rainbows flee
no haloed Sun in sky to see
clouds arrive in slow parades
grey-blue streaked with greyer shades

this muted summer mood still gleams
in air and sea on earth life teems
where young grow old and old become
young again 'cos we're all one -

morning at the dawn of time
changing egos changing minds
exchanging atoms when we breathe
with all around until we leave

slipping off the bonds which bind
us to the earth in body's rhyme
we rise up and float away
in spectral beams of light we play -

morning at the start of day
by the ocean where we stay
when we wake from last night's dreams
captured by today's thought streams

all around in minds abuzz
meaning blurring vision's fuzz
on the edge of who we are
plasma beings like each star -

crystalizing like new snow
sparkling beauty as we grow
as we tumble from the sky
back to where we fall and lie

'til we're roused by fingers warm
sunlight's touch and we're reborn
cycles which go on and on
'til the day when ego's gone -

we're plasma beings like the Sun
we visit Earth where we become
entangled in it's webs and mire
attached to every small desire

'til we remember to let go
to float along as visions grow
when attached we must return
letting go is how we learn -

morning at the dawn of time
changing egos changing minds
exchanging atoms when we breathe
with all around until we leave

slipping off the bonds which bind
us to the earth in body's rhyme
we rise up and float away
in spectral beams of light we play -

Dancing with Angels

Day 17 Month 7 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

dancing with angels

around around around we go
I love you love me we know
more than who we are, these lives
love is always what survives

every morning, seasons, years
I think of you with welling tears
I feel you deep inside, your power
your beauty more than any flower

your sweet sensations I can feel
apart unseen you're still so real
Sun and Moon and all the stars
passion flowing red like Mars

you are perfection in a dream
I touch you touch me we seem
to dance with angels' flowing mind
every thought we feel, we find

time means little, lifetimes too
we are one when I feel you
feeling me in thoughts you hold
day by day as we grow old

as we breathe in and out at last
into the future from the past
standing still we're joined in heart
in soul too, to end from start

of every morning, evening too
I love you love me we're who
we are and who'll we'll be
and who we were when happily

coming back to Earth once more
with its distractions, constant roar
around around around we go
I love you love me we know

more than who we are, these lives
love is always what survives
every morning, seasons, years
I think of you with welling tears

I feel you deep inside, your power
touching me in every hour
your sweet sensations I can feel
apart unseen you're still so real
