Into the Mountains

 video

 sky above an ultra blue
cloudless dome with Sun
shining like a being who
is glad that we have come

into the mountains far away
from where we were before
taking time to come and play
escaping from the war

of who we think we are and who
we think that we must be
designating me and you
within society...

under heaven on the Earth
paradise surrounds
all of life here giving birth
to all the living sounds

streams that babble, gush and rush
wind among the trees
in the forest's mystic hush
peaceful falling leaves

sloping trails which disappear
beyond where we can see
feeling that we're very near
blissful you and me...

The Sound

 video

 It's not the words that we say It's the sound
vibrating airwaves surround
Touching ears to then rebound
It's not the words in which we are found

Resonating somewhere inside
In places where sometimes we hide
Elevating, opening wide
To bliss on a rising tide

Of consciousness flowing within
Between atoms as they spin
In spaces seeming devoid
Of anything of which we're annoyed...

it's not the thoughts that we think it's the link
when together and feeling in sync
oscillating as one as we phase
clarity instead of a haze

like an early morning mist
obscured, by water kissed
dissipating with the Sun's rays
oscillating as we now phase

rhythmically we are in tune
like the Sun and too like the Moon
like the galaxy spinning around
it's not the words that we say, it's the sound...
