Let it take you for a ride
On the music highway
Each note a piece of the road
Drive it…
Ride it…

BE THE MUSIC

Let it dance with you
Your feet are the drums
Your hands the baton
Embrace it…
Embody it…

BE THE MUSIC

Let is sing to you
Ringing your ears like bells
Soaking into your mind
Take it…
Keep it…

BE THE MUSIC

Let is lift you up
Take it in your soul
Be one with the sound
Bless it…
Love it…

BE THE MUSIC

Let it connect with you
Controlling your five senses
See it!
Touch it!
Smell it!
Taste it!
Hear it!

BE THE MUSIC

So Stop
Drain your mind
Close your eyes
Breathe in…
Breathe out...
And get ready to

BE THE MUSIC

Am I scared of you?

Am I the bashful gopher?
Hiding terrified in this hole?
NO!
I am the bloodcurdling bear
Coming from his shadowy cave

Am I scared of you?

Am I the gloomy dog?
Walking away gradually, tail between legs?
NO!
I am the fatal wolf
Ready to attack his prey with terror

Am I scared of you?

Am I the cautious possum?
Hiding at the deepest night?
NO!
I am the spirited hawk
Ready to lunge at any second

So now I ask you…

Are you scared of me?

The warmth of Mother Nature’s hug
Has turned to Jack Frost’s frosty breath

I hang on for dear life
My family vanished
My friends no more
The arctic winds chill my body
Making my once attractive jade skin
Now an unsettling brown
My arms they drain
For I cannot hold on much longer
The last of my kind
I want to set an example
I want to be the hero
But I can’t
My mind has ripened
I have let my people down
But it is time
As I fall I will remember the pleasant times
When I was not alone
But I am alone
The bitter steel ground is calling me

Good-bye Mother Nature
Hello Jack Frost

The clock stops
Time hits the brakes
Silence….nothing
My body stops
Mouth left breathing
Heart left beating
Eyes blurred
They focus
I see silence
….I see….silence
I feel like I am in a picture
Not a sound
Nothing moves
Glued to Earth’s body
I hear through silence
I hear what objects think
What are they thinking?
Do they think, what I do?
Do they hear, what I hear?
I hear the rumbling of Earth’s stomach
I hear the liquid in the air
I hear gravity’s hands pulling things in
I hear my mind spinning!
From hearings things you can’t hear!
IT’S LOUD!
SILENCE IS LOUD!
A sound more piercing then anything
It tries to drill into my skull
My head is vibrating
I SCREAM!
My sound mixing with silence
Like oil and water
It does not mix!
My voice hides
I can’t hear my voice!
I hear silence
I hear the silence….of silence!
THE PAIN!
THE NOISE!
THE………STOP!
I am left in a little ball
Shaking….waiting….
I listen….I hear nothing
But what am I hearing?
Am I hearing myself?
Am I hearing silence?
WHAT AM I HEARING?
I stretch out and look at the sky
I hear the wind hugging leaves
I hear the songs of birds
I hear myself breathe
The pain has vanished
Can sound be pain?
Can silence be pain?
Can silence….be sound?

Talking behind someone’s back
Words can be deadly
Each hurtful word a bullet
Piercing the heart of the other
Loosing the trust
Trust being a friend
What are you left with?
Nothing!
No one!
You even hurt yourself
If no one can trust you
Can you trust yourself?
Was it worth it?

Standing in a dark hole
Surrounded by troops of black
A frozen pale road
A shadow leads the way

A loud silence
A breeze of stale air
The world had disappeared
The whole quilt but one patch

Flickering lights around the mind
The lustrous pearl in the sky
The exit
Walk the path

They sink through my body
They are as clear as the skies
This is what I see
When I look in your blue eyes

My body gets relaxed
My mouth breathes and sighs
I can’t help but smile
When I look in your blue eyes

It makes my very happy
The feeling never dies
I just feel so great
When I look in your blue eyes

They have control over me
I cannot tell any lies
I can only tell the truth
When I look in your blue eyes

Then you have to go
And I must say my good byes
And I think why oh why
Then a part of me dies
I cringe and start to sigh
Then I break down and cry
I will miss the look
In your wonderful blue eyes
