To be one
We must embrace "the other"
...
The shadow
Contains unexplored depths
In which lie answers
For reaching great heights
So dive
Into it's night
Only to emerge
Having been submerged
In truth
To arrive more fully
Into your day
Embracing your new found light.

The Chase.
What I run from
I must embrace
For fruitful answers are born of these arms
And not from running the race
And what I chase
Should be questioned
For motivations and desires can bear empty results
If their foundations
Are not founded upon the center
Of gravity
Of the core
Of the universal truth:
Love
Is all we wish to orbit
Is all we actually do...
The only time this is hindered
Is when we wander from it's view
For we attract more of what we run from
And less of what we chase
By getting off-course from the center
And getting caught up in the race.

In Key.
Today my heart did sing to me
Sing out
That I'm everything I should be
It played so loud
It silenced all doubts
That had been keeping me out of key...
Now in tune
Now in bloom
I am the sun
I am the moon
Rising within
Whenever I listen to my heart sing.

Much Afraid.
I fluctuate between possibility
And despair
I am my own dream
And sometimes, my own worst nightmare
And lately I've been losing sleep
For fear of losing feet
On these shifting sands
Where did all those hands
To hold
Go?
No.
Stay.
Stay with it
Stay here
Look, your fear
In it's own frightened eye
And see
Whisper into it's ear
Tell it what it wants to hear
...That it will all be ok
Because it will be.
And despair
I am my own dream
And sometimes, my own worst nightmare

Stay with it
Stay here
Look, your fear
In it's own frightened eye
And see

Tell it what it wants to hear
...That it will all be ok

The Dance.
This is a dance
Are you moving?
Are you flowing?
This is a chance
To feel
To unpeel
Strip back to a space
That knows no time or place
Lost in the act
Only to be found in the moment
I am
Dancing.
Can you feel the vibration?
Are you moving?
Are you flowing?
This is a chance
To feel
To unpeel
Strip back to a space
That knows no time or place
Lost in the act
Only to be found in the moment
I am
Dancing.
Can you feel the vibration?
The Language Of Sound.
And if we spoke in song
Maybe you would hear me
Really hear me
For inside the space of music
I am free
Notions of who I am
Who am supposed to be...
Melt away
To a melody
And here
Here, is where you will find
My authenticity
I wish to do nothing but sing
Sing until the music stops
Sing until I drop
And dissipate back into
The musical debri
- Those very first sounds that made me
Carrying my vibrations along
Looking for a song
A life to sing...
My physicality
Is merely a parcel
For giving form
Shape
Contour
To this song
The package is temporary
But I've been here all along
Just put your ear to my chest
And listen
For I've not yet reached this chorus
And perhaps I won't in this lifetime
But oh, to be heard
To be heard without a word
Just in song
Just in sounds
Listening only for the energy
Behind that which made the audio resound
And nestle
In our ears
Softening all doubts and fears
And just
Inspiring!
...So let's speak in music
For we exist only as long
As the space in which we are truly listening...
Maybe you would hear me
Really hear me

I am free
Notions of who I am
Who am supposed to be...

Sailing.
One day I will go sailing
And find out what it's all for...
One day I will go sailing
Until I'm sure I can't see the shore
Across the ripples - up and over
Life's up and downs
A speck amidst a vast and deep blue...
But wait! What's this?
It seems I'm already sailing
My sail strong and full!
- Funny, how easily lifted
Was the weight of my anchor
When to myself
I decided to be true
And so it seems, that this 'one day' is NOW!
And I am sailing
The best way that I know how...
And to each wave that takes me
I will wave back, and I will greet
For behind me
Travels a loyal fleet
Of hope...
And so it appears
I'm never alone
In this great unknown
For we are all on a voyage
Of our very own
Yet, together...
Together, in this big ol' sea
Unsure of the shore
That waits for the return of you and me
To tell us the secret
Of what this was all for...
And find out what it's all for...
One day I will go sailing
Until I'm sure I can't see the shore
Across the ripples - up and over
Life's up and downs
A speck amidst a vast and deep blue...
But wait! What's this?

Yet, together...
Together, in this big ol' sea
Unsure of the shore
That waits for the return of you and me
To tell us the secret
Of what this was all for...
Sometimes...
Sometimes I'm mindful
Of where my mind wanders
And sometimes I just let it wander
Back to you...
For it can still find you there
Sitting, waiting
In memory.
And sometimes lately
I can't string together my sentences
Because they made better sense
When I said them to you...
But I know I'll have to speak again
Sometime soon.
