Can you feel me glowing?
Can you feel me throwing
Stars at you?
Across the sea to you
From me

Feel the pulse in the air
When the wind moves
I am there
Shooting stars across the sky
Everywhere

Place your hand upon your heart
Close your eyes
Clear your mind
Picture gold light
As it starts
Surrounding you
From behind
Hugging you

A falling star above your head
Is tumbling down
Singing brightly, lightly
Listen to its gorgeous sound
Soaring

As it falls closer, closer still
Open up your arms
So you can feel
This glow all over you
Flow all over you
A shower of light
From head to toe

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Now you can feel the glowing
Your love is slowly growing
Bigger, bigger still
Your smile is showing

Bring your arms in
You've been holding out
Feel the light now
Shake the ground
Take your arms
Wrap them around
Yourself
Feel
The
Glow

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Rain, Sun, Wind and Snow
Feel the glow
Wherever you go
I will be there
No matter how far
Sending you
This shooting star
From the sky
Out from my heart

To heal your soul
To ease the pain
To share your joy
Every night and
Every day

Feel the glow
Feel it grow
All around you
Spreading out
In a circle of light
Spreading through
The countryside
Across the earth
Now watch it blast
Into the sky
It burns and glows
Before your eyes

The Universe is our home
Safe and warm
You are
Safe and warm
Bathed in Starlight
Safe from harm

Embracing you within the light
Every day and every night
We are one

Untold and infinite stories of love
Brief moments will arise for us to grasp
Rays of moon and sun light gleam down above

We are humbled by our need to unclasp
Unpredictable life heeds no warning
Often we are left all alone to gasp

Day and night, evening and in the morning
We purr forward persistently beyond
While painting life a picture that's adorning

Still understanding sadness will be dawned
Gravitating up and down we manage
Cultivating the pool of heavens pond

Healing bits within that have been damaged
Carried deeply within for far too long
Awakened to this powerful advantage

We hop, we bounce into what we belong
Untold and infinite stories of love
Written in the stars our journey's song
Rays of moon and sun light gleam down above

The power to face our fears lies within us
We greet ourselves by accepting new ground
There is no limit, new growth is endless

Moving through life with stillness in our sound
Balance becomes an act that we perfect
In every moment courage will be found

There is no rhyme or reason to direct
Life plans now lay before our destiny
As we open up our hearts to connect

Spirit receives us with faith willingly
Every aspect of the universe lives
Awoken to our nature instantly

No longer terrified protection gives
An inner light to walk the path with springs
Now we are free from being held captive

Our souls uncaged can feel our bodies sing
The power to face our fears lies within us
Our arms open to receive what God brings
There is no limit, new growth is endless

A master magician at hiding
While running and gallantly striding
Your message is strong, you gallop along
With spirit continually guiding

Independent you move with the group
Making headway you learn to recoup
Ready to bolt, to rebel and revolt
If your light should get caught in a loop

Your harmony steadies in trouble
A clean break away from all struggle
Lessons are taught, even when you're distraught
As you truly embrace them and juggle

When problems arise in the east skies
You remember the sun also dies
And though it falls down, it comes back around
To greet us the next day with bright eyes

Spirit Zebra be with us to find
Let our strength and our courage unwind
Into all of the holes, deep in our souls
That we carry throughout our lifetime

Teach us patience to love every side
So that we may enjoy how we ride
Some days we will glow, some days will be low
Love will teach us to rise not subside

To see everything, just as it is
To live the truth of this regardless
Return stronger yet, from any upset
With a chance for new growth and progress

You teach us to seek balance and truth
Till the end of our days from our youth
Standing confidently, strong as can be
Building skills that will calm us and soothe

With every step forward we've taken
Your wisdom unfolds and awakens
All of our needs, teach us how to succeed
Good or bad, we shall not be mistaken

We are shifting between light and dark
We are always igniting the spark
A few steps gone back, will put us on track
With pure faith we will soon disembark

Mysterious child
Earth as the mother figure
Majestically robed
In the land of kindly gods
Teach me how to run wild

You call out to me
I am connected to you
We tour as heroes
Across the plains of kindness
Teaching you to ride through life

Magical talents
Seem to travel beneath you
For whenever we
Journey onward together
We gallop powerfully

Your gifts are unique
I will help you discover
Together are we
Traveling clairvoyantly
A true motion of thunder

My spirit is free
I learn to view destiny
With you I receive
More than I thought I could be
Nothing is holding me back

You were born to be
More than you know my dear child
I gift unto thee
The realization to see
Nothing is holding you back

In recognition
Of your incredible stride
I want to learn how
To move beyond and decide
How to become what I ride

You will soon conceive
As you begin to trot through
How I will guide you
As you fly further than most
Accepting all that you are

I need to hold on
My balance seems a bit off
I try to steady
This is the path I must take
Faith's asking me to trust you

Take hold of my mane
The saddle fits you just right
You will find comfort
The path you're taking is fate
You must trust me in good faith

I want to look back
But I know there is no need
I open my heart
To tell myself honestly
There is nothing left to fear

Look forward with me
As I guide you, you guide me
Our hearts beat as one
You're listening consciously
Your spirit's safe here with me

My hands need no reigns
It's like you've always been here
You never left me
My lodestar, my exemplar
We cross the range unrestrained

Steady and complete
And I will always be here
I never left you
My colt and child of the light
Our freedom is our delight

Giddyap!
Giddyap!

Crack in my heart
I feel a break begin
A start to fall apart
Not yet these things

I am so happy
In this newfound place
This grace
I am not ready

Though I have known
You yes for years
My soul cries out
How long it's been
That I have known you

In this length of time
Yes our souls have
Known the other
I have at many times
Considered
Even called on you
As brother

Now I cry when I
Am happy
Not tears of joy
But tears of pain
Remind me of the rain
Of which I love

Play with me
And mine old memories
In a sandbox
For all time
Which to consider
Every feeling of sublime
Fluttered forgiveness

As my heart wants not
In-two be broken
It craves only
That which heals
Out the unspoken

Still unreal
Has cause such thinking
When connection
Meets with sinking ships
Emotional equality that drips
Away, it melts and frays

As plucked each thread
Bright colors dead
Beholds the canvas of our painting
Torn to shreds
With the passion of a feather
Quill once bled

Upon the pavement
Of our wings
In the bread of our concern
Here lies instead my
Heart's forgiveness
As gifts the benefit misled

Exonerate this feast
At table and at seat
And for the sake
If not our friendship
At least for every
Other that would glean

If not to grow
Then why to bend so
In the end?
If not to bend so
One cannot mend
Such cracks
My friend
