Drifting Off to Sleep & One In a Million

Drifting Off to Sleep

video 

 drifting off to sleep
to wake again then keep
drifting off to sleep
with dreams which somehow seep

into when wide awake
believing we can shake
our dreams away before
waking then once more

be drifting off to sleep
as in our minds we leap
from all we think we know
as we begin to go

somewhere deep within
out again then in
while drifting off to sleep
to wake again and keep

drifting off to sleep
consciousness oblique
drifting off to sleep
relaxed and in a heap

dreams about to peak
drifting off to sleep
to wake again and keep
drifting off to sleep...

One In a Million

video

 
there she was just walking by
ten thousand before had not caught my eye
one in a million, a trillion maybe
someone I fell for instantly

our eyes met, then she was gone
for something inside me she was the gong
waking me up and letting me know
to do what I'm doing in order to grow

in the universe all around
and inside where I am found
there's no one else who I can be
than who I am now, presently -

there she was and now I know
maybe I'll see her again in the flow
of people passing before my eyes...
expectations beginning to rise

she's one in a million, a trillion maybe
she's someone I fell for instantly
ten thousand before had not caught my eye
then there she was just walking by

Far Away (Log Entry)

 video

far away from Earth we went
to what seemed a heaven sent
warm and lush green paradise
a world without the curse of ice

no inclination so each day
was just as long as yesterday...
tomorrow promised equal light
for just as long as every night

with stars we knew when on the Earth
except the one that gave us birth
here shining in the sky at night
so far away yet very bright...

by a lake where mountains dipped
in water pure for all to sip
from a stream with just a hint
of shimmer sparkling in each glint...

electricity from the sun
free for all and everyone
electricity for our ship
to power the returning trip
