Fire in the Lake

Where does the lovely one with the dark skin and golden eyes go
when he needs fresh air? when he needs to be alone?
Does he sit on the rooftop and watch the crows?
Does he walk in endless circles around the lake?
Does he stare a hole into the sun
Or does he let the moon burn a hole into his eyes?
Will I find him standing quietly
wrapped in his own darkness
shrouded in black velvet?
Will it be exactly what I never expected?
Will the falling rain blind us eternally?
Will the rules of the road be forgotten forever?
Son of morning light throws shadows to me
He speaks in a minor key
He lets his voice fill the entire world
He sings his heart through radio waves
He speaks his colors into me

Ocean Wave

Ocean wave asks me "Am I nothing but a ballad to the moon?"
"Am I simply a sweet joke to you?"
Ocean wave sings herself to sleep
Her song is velvety soft and sometimes hard to hear
Ocean wave asks her dreams "Have I found the air that I'm meant to breathe?"
She kneels down and prays to the trees
Ocean wave knows her way through the smoke and haze
She doesn't look at me when I say her name

Ode to Reverb

I’m sorry my friend
But I’m not who I say I am
I’ve been spiraling down
But you haven’t seemed to notice
The world is empty now
Reality flashes in and out
What if you and I
Switched consciousness for a little while?
Maybe you’d start questioning
Your sacred sanity ever so slightly
But there you'd be
Waking up to the world of dreams

Flow Like Heaven

She the magician shows me what it means to wake
She is the empress of my eternal state
Distraction, when will you leave me alone?
Desolation, when are you coming for me?
Mystics in shining armor, show me the way
Up and out of this density
Remind me please how to be with myself
Show me how to flow like heaven once again

Some Worlds Turn Slow
03:13
|

Somewhere late at night
Sun and moon intertwine
Some worlds turn slow
Today I keep my eyes half closed
Somewhere late at night
Sun and moon intertwine
The river of souls overflows
The mystery of the heart unfolds

Descension
05:07
|

|
He’s sick with all that he’s seen so he stays in bed for 3 weeks
He doesn’t miss his friends who spray art in the alleyways and get high from
Too much coffee
And mass hysteria
From his window he watches the endless streams of metal and gasoline
He writes down his dreams, both sleeping and waking
He hears two songs of sadness and softness and silence
Like an artist august descends down into his lonely den
He hides underground, deep in the realm of reverberant sound
Where music seeps through the walls
Where time is gone
August, has your reality started to melt like mine?

Night Rain

I am told to write about the city at night
I am shown the burnt skyscrapers in my mind's eye, blurring rhythmically with my breath
I smell the night rain as it lunges and pours, drips and dries
Night rain playfully motions sunshine to come nearby
Sunshine the cosmic fool, he comes forward in a flashing trance
He is full of hopes
He is anxious to speak, to sing, to be willing
In his footsteps you can hear the words "come, come, come and sing along"
Night rain senses this new rhythm emerging from the west side of town
This rhythm, to her, is too quick and eager
Like a jagged arrow or an autumn shadow
Like a lightning flash or a falling tower
Like a commander in chief, arms at the ready
Night rain pours herself onto the sun's rays
There is a commotion for a moment, a steam rising up in the sky
Sunshine hears the message loud and clear
He softens his gaze and swiftly departs night rain's domain

Ascension
02:21

She's been getting dizzy from all this world-turning
So she digs a hole and lives there for a while
She feels at home at 4 AM in the shadows
Shallow breath surrounding her
She lets lovers come and go with the moontides
She lets the cosmos breathe through her
She walks to the tempo of her heartbeat
She talks to the tempo of her mind chatter
She taps to the tempo of this time machine
She dreams the world into being
Channels truth down to the rest
