Shadows must and will obey
my thoughts to sink and prayers stray,
for soon they’ll stay.
They rest upon my heavy head
they lie with me upon my bed,
for soul’s decay.
Shadows must and will confuse
this love i know i’ll never loose,
and never say,
that all is bright behind these eyes
that mind is free and all these lies
are far away.
Confuse and use they must, they must
through power, greed, and lies and lust
until i’m lost.
Before they go and try their best
i’m gonna steal a little rest
from love’s old nest.
They’ll come again, this much i know,
so i put on a great big show
that I have learned long time ago.
But now my soul, she has her voice
and given any other choice
i trust the one
that shows rejoice.
She speaks and shadows dissapear
she shows the way which comes so clear.
I know the voice i hold so dear
it speaks of love, the moment  “now”
it whispers to me when and how
i can be free, and to allow
my spirit to retain the vow
it took before this life’s refinement
that some life I’ll reach enlightement
be out of body’s false confinement
And into Tao.

Hello Love,
It's sickening to begin again
But loneliness has ran its course
And left me time to think again

Hi Love,
You can come and do your best,
But of the two,
I've learned from you
That hate hurts even less.

Hopefully one day I'll see,
With apathy having befallen me,
That all this time I spent alone
Was even worse than I could see.

Hello Love,
It was you i loved the most,
But until your feeling differs from hate,
I'll be right here,
Alone.

will you lay with me
beneath the stars
will you catch each one that falls
will you hold me closer
till we each can't breath
and the world is over

will you leave when all is gone
when i ask you to run away
when i can't take any more of this
will you give me one more kiss
to place above our heads
to remember each word we say

clearly pain has stretched our minds
will we ever understand it
besides within ourselves
will you leave it all behind
will you creep in closer to me
when my tears have made me blind
will you catch the feelings
i have lost so long ago
and bring them back to me
wil you

I can sit on top of the world
Teach you everything
Teach you how to be mean
Don’t you know what I mean?

I can stand as tall as a tree
Show you many of things
Like how to feel free
Don’t you want to be free?

I can disappear like a ghost
Provide a life without me
How would that be
How would you be?

I can float above all your gods
Love you with all that I’ve got
Till the sun decides to drop
Till our hearts suddenly stop

I will be the stars in your sky
Faintly show you the way
Faintly lead you to day
So what do you say?

What connects galaxies, planets,stars,and the moon,
It is light and you'll see this soon,
Light gives life,
Even the fire you might fear,
This is the reason we're all even here,
Without light there would be a dark nothing fast,
Like sand draining from an hour glass,
Let the light guide ur path,
Do this with pride,
The light will give you one heck of a ride,
Even when looking through some fancy machine,
It must have light for it to be seen,
Love and light to you my friends,
For if not we'll meet our dark end.

May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind gently nudge
the hair from your eyes
and the weight from your grudge.
Should the earth die
a touch to make times stay,
a soft voice waiting, looking,
room for a kiss.

We stand at a great door
the moon's arms our friend,
our bed running beauty,
believing we're at sea.

O happy morning!
To help us understand,
this last night's song,
when men lay staring at stars.

This, a touch will do.

Here come Jupiter child,
You can hear the flowers crying as they plead for her to stay a while,
She just collided with and intergalactic asteroid,
But things were only created never destroyed,
In the dark cool tunnels she found some pretty moon shrooms,
sheltering growing seahorses wrapped in loose water droplet cocoons,
Now towards earth you hear her come,
Within the clouds she beats her tribal drums,
The ocean sways and swells to the time of her rhythm and sound,
Reaching deep into the sea forest to whales traveling homebound,
She wears stars framed in turquoise,
Like the kokopelli she gives birth to planets with grace and poise,
Here comes Jupiter child, dread locks wound with comets,
extracts from the universe, she mixes matter-less tonics,
Recipes rooted deep in wizardry,
she borrows knowledge from indians and aztecs to cure all misery,
Her meteor showers made of her salty tears,
Are earth's dream catcher, snaring all nighttime fears.
If you're afraid to chase a dream,
I'll weave four baskets and float them
down the river stream.
Each one I weave, with words I speak
to carry love to your relief:

I believe in you
