Whispering Words
Chattering Muse
Drifting through Oceans
Seasonal Hues
Life’s colors
Painted visions of you
Laughter, brings your light into view
Hearing you speak
Soft and discreet
Sounds only we hear
Gently we meet
Gliding on the waves
Surrender!
In a moment’s notice
Dance of Secret Language
And chance…

(It's Just) Talk
07:01

Listen closely to Heaven
Look around
Feel the sound waves
On and on
Stories of Nature
Tune in to all the Love
Clear your mind of that chatter
Talking Heads
Does it matter?
Wondering what they’re really saying
Never still
Unfulfilled
Everywhere hear the playful sounds
Beckoning you in to a dream
They’re swirling around in your head
Words left unsaid
Listen instead
Give it some time
You want to quiet your mind
It’s just talk
Free to build your own castles
Diggin’ deep from inside you
Find a light
Hiding in the shadows
Baby, you know it’s talk
Live for today
Like it’s play
Come what may
Use your eagerness to fulfill
Everything you instill
Sharing in the secrets…… of Life
Hey, free your mind
Now’s the time
Feel sublime
Let this dance of Life carry you
Anywhere you want it to
Walkin’ in the Rhythm…. Of Life!
Yea…. Just unwind
You won’t mind
Leave your worries behind
Be Kind

If We Could Change

Have a seat, just for a time. Tell me what’s on your mind
I’ll tell you what’s on mine, too
Bring us to a thoughtful place, a kind of soft embrace
A step toward the light . . . If We Could Change . . .
I no we’re sailing blue, why don’t we give it up for true?
(Maybe we could) set it down tonight
I know you feel it’s true. Woman I turn it back to you
I know we can get there when we try . . . If We Could Change . . .
And if we could change just a thing or two
There’d be a photograph in a frame by the window
Of Me and You
So stay just a little while, talk it through
take a snapshot of our dreams . . .
Slip into a dream or two. Show me how our world is new
Arriving in time and place
Teach me things we never knew. A sublime breakthrough
On a secret path… If We Could Change
Sharing a portrait of our lives. Can we live in new surprise
(Maybe we could) set it down tonight
Our likeness set in two. The decision’s up to you.
I know we can get there when we try… If We Could Change

Every night
Lying down to close my eyes
Letting go to softly
Enter new surprise
Visions of colorful invitation
A portal opens wide:
Destination!
Now I’m flying, running in the open air
But everywhere I’m running to
Leads to a stair (despair??)
Upwards is downwards
And I’m turned around
Slip into a window
All without a sound
Thought I saw a rainbow-colored butterfly
Walk into the room
Before he said goodbye
Everything around me
Started falling down
Then magically I’m lifted high above the ground
Turning, tumbling
Tryin’ to keep me from stumbling
Entrance/Exit
All topsy-turvy
What’s next?!
(a)Waken/Broken
Spellbound
Visions are all spoken
All I can do is try to find my way home
Promises keeping
Silences weeping
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground
When I’m waking
I’m dreaming
Under the spell
Lucid recalling
Hypnotic farewell
And it’s all I can do to try to find my way….
Waking and dreaming
Silences weeping
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground
When I’m waking
I’m broken
Visions are spoken
Lucid recalling
I’m not yet home
When I’m turning
I’m tumbling
Dreams begin crumbling
Flying too high
I can’t touch the ground
When I’m waking
I’m dreaming
Under the spell
Lucid recalling
Hypnotic farewell
And it’s all I can do to try to find my way….

Wherever You Are

Lying here with all these memories
Facing where I saw you last
Standing in the fallen forest
Loving you is all I ask
Trusting in the joy of sorrow
Asking for the hand of grace
Joining you in all tomorrows
Giving in to find your face
… And fall into a world where we’re riding on the
Wings of dreams and shadows from above
Free-falling in our cast of love
… Here I find you …
Knowing I will never leave you
Seeing you on every path
Nothing ever can forsake you
Walk with me till our last breath…
Your light shines brightly every day
I know you’re never far away….
The ocean sings of living
It’s nothing less than everything
I ever wanted to embrace….
Knowing I will never leave you
Seeing you on every path
Nothing ever can forsake you
Walk with me till our last breath…
Your light shines brightly every day
I know you’re never far away…
Turn around and face me now
And view a world apart, that’s how
I’m here
Wherever you are…
Trusting in the joy of sorrow
Asking for the hand of grace
Joining you in all tomorrows
Giving in to find your face
… And fall into a world where we’re riding on the
Wings of dreams and shadows from above
Free-falling in our cast of love
… Here I find you …
Lying here with all these memories
Facing where you saw me last
Standing in the fallen forest
Loving you is all I ask
