Somehow
You keep it in your fingers
Touch
You’re breathing
Your heart into a drum
MmMmMmMmMmMm
I know it
I know it like the evening
Rush
Remaining
Convinced that we are one
I’m gliding
I simmer on the feeling
Crushed
Beloved
I sink into your hum
MmMmMmMmMmMm
I know it
I know it like the evening
Rush
Remaining
This tingle on my tongue
All my wishes rise to meet the sun
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deep
All my wishes
Deeper and deeper
All my wishes
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deep

Deep, deep dark
Brews moonlight
Compels the art
Stay
Make waves
You’re a conjurer
Seven spells away
Your heart’s been forming
Since you were made
Now impending
It’s not dependent
On need or want
Safe
Safe to say
I’m not the only one
Who feels this way
There
Across the dune
We see horizon
Lit by moon
Clouds been forming
Since you were made
Now impending
It’s not dependent
On need or want
You’re not part of the rings
Baby
You’re not part of the rings
Lady
You are one of the free
Baby
You’re not part of the rings
Your heart’s been forming
Since you were made
Now impending
It’s not dependent
On need or want
The flow is like the tide of mind
No feeling to be left behind
Untellable as stars to man
Or reasons why you know you can be more
More than before
Etched along the stony wall
Each reason why you will not fall
For since you found the will to climb
I have been your seeing eye
Now be
More than before
Yesterday is done
You’re mine
Become
You’re mine become

Sewn in History

Leave more than you take
Leave more than you take
Please I beg
Leave more than you take
Real unreliable
The eye sees too much
Feel the in between
the ohms among the leaves
Keep calm no aggression intoned
Each enveloping event doesn’t need to be told
The words don’t say enough
Ride calm on a casual crave
You’re invited to invent from the untellable waves
The eye can’t see enough
Sewn in history
The ohms among the trees
Ancient koans caress the rah
Sweetly pleased to release
Silence your intelligence
Leave more than you take
Leave more than you take
Please I beg
Leave more than you take
Silence your intelligence
You’re awash and you’re heaven sent
Silence your intelligence
YOU’RE FOOD FOR THE PELICAN

Kicks in the Reef

If it interests you home
On the edgeless sum ah um
In the embroidery
Off the ledge between the seam
Gone (Gone)
Each second gone
Every avenue along
Leads you to the sum ah um
No soft infinity
Sets a course at cosmic speed
Gone (Gone)
Each second gone
Like wind along
The cosmic sea
Oh
Are we alone
With whomever we’ve been calling on
I lost all my linen along
Their riddle beats inward then eventually
Kicks in the reef
You will ride the wave until you’re done

Prism

Built like a prism
Manifest division
Peeling through the air like a hawk on a hunt
Prose like the knows
Never really shows
Beating to the rhythm of a medicine drum
In the old ways they say
Catapulted sages
Ripping through the pages
Folding up the secrets like a fawn on the run
Slung like the departed
Wishes never started
Divided by the earth and the sky in your eye
In the old ways they say
You've got no sense
No sense
No sense of escape
Man I'd like to show ya
Separate the old ya
Depart ya from the senses of what might have been
Shake you by the fault line
Send you to the the surface
Disengage your doubts and all your might have beens
In the old ways they say
You change to live
And you live through change
Rah Oh Ooo
Rah Oh Ooo
Ooo Oh Rah
Oh Ooo
No sense of escape
