On the Edge

Day 5 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

on the edge

again and again
and again and again
over and over
and over now's when

it's time to awaken
let go and return
knowing within
is where we all learn -

the Earth is a planet
obscure, on the edge
always we find
ourselves on the ledge

ready to leap into space
and to fly
beyond beyond
beyond the sky -

once more once more
once more once more
we enter this world
we pass through the door

becoming becoming
becoming someone
a part of all else
we leave and we come

just like the air
we share with each breath
from life's first moment
until its warm death -

again and again
and again and again
over and over
and over now's when

it's time to awaken
let go and return
knowing within
is where we all learn -

the Earth is a planet
obscure, on the edge
always we find
ourselves on the ledge

ready to leap into space
and to fly
beyond beyond
beyond the sky -

Days and Days

Day 3 Month 4 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

days and days

waves of waves of waves of waves
the tide rolls in and out for days
and weeks and weeks and months and years
happy times and those with tears -

clouds with rain and snow when cold
all is new, there's nothing old
molecules of water, air
the lives we lead, our souls laid bare

interwoven 'though unseen
awake, asleep it's all a dream -

I wish, you wish, we come to be
we chose the ways in which we see
the universe, the all around
the music in each natural sound

the rhythm of the ocean's rise
and its fall, its liquid ties
to the rhythm of our minds
all is one and bound by time -

waves of waves of waves of waves
the tide rolls in and out for days
and weeks and weeks and months and years
happy times and those with tears -

clouds with rain and snow when cold
all is new, there's nothing old
molecules of water, air
the lives we lead, our souls laid bare

interwoven 'though unseen
awake, asleep it's all a dream -

Looking Up

Day 1 Month 3 - 13 Moon Calendar

audio/video

looking up

looking down on Earth to find
so many people lost in mind
so many people looking down
while up above and all around

angels, eagles, devas fly
in sunlit night-time veil of sky
and in between the planets spin
looking up is looking in -

in between each thought's a space
to escape the bitter taste
the politics of creed on Earth
believing leaves with renewed birth -

beyond the Earth, beyond the Moon
beyond Saturn and Neptune
beyond the solar system's reach
currents flow through all and each

molecule and atom too
proton, neutron, me and you
plasma currents' twisted streams
propel us in their astral beams -

looking down on Earth to find
so many people lost in mind
so many people looking down
while up above and all around

angels, eagles, devas fly
in sunlit night-time veil of sky
and in between the planets spin
looking up is looking in -
