You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

O how marvelous you are
Like lightning against the sky
The music of your soul echoes
Against all of creation
Nature looks back at you
Her breeze is her hands
That comfort your anger
Her thunder is a smile
That soothes your pain
Her rain is there to
Teach you how to
Forgive yourself
Again and
Again

My sweet Music Box
You don't ever have to leave me
You will never forget how to sing
Like a bee on the seashore
Crawling towards the never ending ocean
The impossible salty sea
I will be here to guide you
Towards the light
Back to your life

Let me be your sonic boom
Let me be your favorite room
Let me wind your Music Box
So we can sing your
Favorite tune

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found

Know this by heart and
Listen, listen, listen
To your sound

You are the Music Box that I designed
Sing along with me
Listen to our chime
Listen to our bell
Listen to the psalm
That together we unveil

We are the sheet music of ravens
Perched like notes on wires
Across the skies as the
Sunrise inspires
Our call

We run with the magic
Of a brilliant ballad
We vibrate
We shake
We earthquake
Through it all
In between rocks
We are meteors and comets
My Music Box
We rock and roll
In this canticle

We are the original
The golden oldie
Of the galaxy

Be my anthem
I'll be your hymn

Listen, listen, listen
To your sound again

You are the piano in my throat
You are the harp in my hands
You are the drum in my heart
You are the tune that understands
You are the violin in my mind
You are the theremin in my third eye
You are the whisper of an ultrasound
You are the chorus that never sings goodbye
You are the sacred note I've found
You are the fire of a thousand choirs

You are the ecstasy
The Universe
Desires

Glistening in the darkness
Beating with the stones
Beneath the brightest skies
You are the altar of
My ancient heart
The only cage
That can hold
My wings

There is no illusion
In the arms of Your spiritual crown
What is this luminous
Sound that shakes the ground?

Dreams are crashing like
Waves of sacred concentration
When I bow down to the art
You have created me to be
Of what I have become
Your breath You are
The drumming in
My heart

Without You I am not the
Life force breathing and swimming
That You created to dance and swing
In the pools of Your beloved eyesight
Your star streaming mindfulness
Is a cosmic vital essence
I am awakened to in the
Ultimate blessing of
Your bliss

Possession of every needlessness
Begins in believing that everything
I thirst for is quenched in the
Uninterrupted space of
Your immortal
Embrace

Perched eternally in the purple tree
Of Your heart

May I remain with Thee
On the Divine lap of Thine
Breathtaking cosmic wilderness
Resting in Your deathless
Throne of Love

Here on earth or in heaven above
I can feel your heartbeat for
It is the same pulse
That is within me
Glistening in the darkness
Beating with the stones
Beneath the brightest skies
You are the altar of
My ancient heart
The only cage
That can hold
My wings

In a boat
Flirting with the sea
Fancy meeting you here
My infinity

Like a prayer
The air and the view
Drifts in through my eyes and
Down to my heart

The greatest love affair
Any romance novel has written
Or that any feather has been gifted
To fly in marriage with the sky

You are my guardian
Nature you hold the key
To every door I long to open
My destiny

Free to roam
About the cabin of my thoughts
With Courage, Strength and Opulence
I row with oars of hope and light

Drifting in a boat
In the middle of the sea
Holding hands with God and Spirit
Endless unity

You are my skyline
The boundary line
Between earth and sky
My apparent horizon
You are the outline
Of my life
You are the building
Of my dreams
Against the twilight
You are the opening
You are the frame
You greet me in the morning and
You tuck me in at night
My lovelight

You are my
Skyline

How can I describe the
Days in and days out
Of walking this earth
Of being alive
What it means to survive
You illustrate the sketch
I am your design
As I walk the soul-path of this life
I step into your celestial sphere
I listen I observe your circle
Of love and light
Forever fascinated
I give you every doubt
I give you every fear
I watch the sunrise
In your eyes
On the horizon
Of each iris

However it is
That you love me
I am your fortunate child
When I feel your fire rise inside
When I feel your rain wash over me
I am baptized in your light
You make me want to fight
For a deeper meaning
You make me crave the desire to make sense
With every mistake I make
In everything and every moment spent
With every breath I take
In me you create
A strength that could
Carry the sun
You are the
One

You are my skyline
The boundary line
Between earth and sky
My apparent horizon
You are the outline
Of my life
You are the building
Of my dreams
Against the twilight
You are the opening
You are the frame
You greet me in the morning and
You tuck me in at night
My lovelight

You are my reason to go on
You are my favorite birdsong
You are my Mother and my Father Divine
You are the thunder and the hope of everyone

My templeheart
My firestone
My endless drink
My only home

Teach in me
What you would have me do
Give me direction
And I will follow through
For me, for you and the
Entire universe

You are my Skyline
You are the truth
You are the opening

I love you

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
Again and again

My eternal light
Love of my life
Under every rock
Every leaf I overturn
Every note I sing
Every tear that I cry
Every ripple
That I swim
You carry me
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

With you I am
Never alone
Never alone
Even in the darkest alley ways
We find light
A light so bright
Even in the darkest of
All nights
Midnight black
Pitch packed
The cards are stacked
Against the atmosphere
Manipulated by
The world
If but to
Curl up
And fade
Away

No
Not another day...

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

When everyone else has left
When every expectation is not met
When emptiness sets in
And heartache finds a way to begin
You are there
The spirit in my soul
Again and again
My invincible

Under a bridge
In a closet
Filled with broken dreams
Between the cracks
Of misery
You are my
Eternity
My sacred
Home

I am with you Spirit
You are with me
Never alone
Never alone

You are the strings
Of my heart's
Symphony

You are the drum
That beats from
My chest

You are the chords
That echo from
My throat

You are the best

You are the tap dance
That vibrates from
My feet

Beneath me the earth quakes
Into concrete

You are my armor
You are my umbrella
You are my wings
You are my antlers
You are the star
Of every evening
That guides me and
Believes in me
Invincibly

The Universe is so big
Filled with
Friends I thought were friends
Yes even when all friendships end
You do not leave my side
You do not run and hide
You still find a way to
Stand behind me
Stand beside me
You are inside me

Watch me go
Watch me rise
Watch me glow

You are
My Invincible

Silently each color
Rainbows across
The infinite mist
That invisibly cloaks
The grassy plains
Of this magnificent
Vulnerable earth

After the dawn
And in between
Each raven's song
We stand in awe
Before the lovely stars
Have cast more than
A thousand winks
From heaven's angels

Blooming with beams
Of radiance
If only to remember this...
The moment
Mother Nature
Gave to each of us
Her very first
Soft-brilliant kiss
