1. Effortlessly
Do you think the leaves try to die so bright?
Do you think the evening tries to wane so slight?
Do you think the ruby tries to force the golden
to join with her as the sunset folds in?
The light falls round the room with ease
The warmth emanates from my comforter’s weave
And I think I must try to win your heart
That easily swept its counterpart
You either do or you don’t; Can’t make you when you won’t
So real the laugh that erupts from within
So real I can you feel your voice all over my skin
Your spell… floats to me on the breeze
the same sweet way the flower calls her bees
But when I try for anything; it turns around to sting…me.
Leaves die so bright
Evening wanes slight
Waves fall to gravity
Like you have me
You have me

3. They Done Told Me
My Daddy done told me
Girl you are not dumb
You’re my little princess
So when’s my kingdom gon’ come?
No you won’t find me… walking around in glass shoes
No you can find me.. singing the real life blues
My mamma done told me
Girl you’ll be a star
So far my main stage is
Driver’s seat of my car
No you won’t find me… living the life they said I would
But I’m not so sure that they were right bout what’s bad and what’s good
Their Heaven, it don’t told me
Girl, if you don’t sin
If you hate on all pleasure and feel lotsa guilt,
I just might let you in
But you won’t find me…Shaking with fear, and scorching with blame
When I wiped that away, I found overflowing souls aflame
Professors done told me
I’d get a career
But all college sold me
Was these debts I won’t clear
How bout when they told me
Educations the key
I was looking without for so long
Couldn’t hear what’s within me!!
No you won’t find me… building myself on power and cash
I done left that rat race and that trophy built of dust and ash
And greed, it done told me
Girl you need these things
What you got’s not enough
now greed… tangled me up in strings
But the sky it done told me
Loving eyes told me too
You already got it
right Now within and all around you
So you can find me… with open eyes, dancin’ this ground
not lookin’ for nothing, since I …finally see what is here all around

4. Let
Let, just let
Don’t brace yourself
for facing what comes next
Let it take you
Let it make you
into what comes next
Your fingers grip the wheel so tight
Scared, prepared for left or flight
You scan the scene for threats that might come next
All you must do
is let some trust through
to hold you through what’s next
Yes all you must do’s
release your life to
what the Great gives you next
It that worries has no say
in anything real anyway
The loudest voice is scared to lose the throne
No, it that worries does not save
It’s merely clamor in the Great
The quiet peace surrounding me is Home
… Let, just let
Don’t brace yourself
for facing what comes next
Let it take you
Let it make you
into all that’s next

5. Silver Winding
Always inevitably I’d return
subtly drift unawares back to blankets of fern
that so softly breath life and whisper ancient hymns
that distill and surround us and rise through the limbs
before circling back to collapse at our core
as the branches return to the velvet moss floor
but now here in the day, reached and touched this in your
stagg’ring presence that strips me down, sweeps me ashore
Well always he’s been here, before we had shapes, before
Genesis begat all time and all space,
But in my waking life I had not seen a trace of
Archaic remembrance till I saw your face
No longer my roots and my waking life rift
the fog of a world made of apathy lifts
As I’m startled awake by my purest vibration
at last taken shape in earthly incarnation
To see you among my external surroundings
a silver is lining and winding around things
the first time the inner and outer, reflecting
a relic forgotten inside resurrecting
revived now and spreading a full-colored grace
that erases the cloudy film muting this place
you’re painting in love all the worldly surroundings
and silver is lining and winding around things
Been long since the world through my ears wasn’t muffled
the dusty streets stifling my breath as I shuffled
Eyelids once drooping flung open to see
as your voice aligns time and my senses with me
All the infinite origin shining through matter
released as the gates to my recesses shatter
so Be this for me, be this with me and fall
as if there’s any magic in this world at all

7. Dive, Melt, Fade
Tears trickling down like fate
Sweet, they twinkle around through space
Golden tender the pain we made
Melts into a glorious cascade
Spread my arms… And I dive
So much … So much life
As I fall … It all melts away
Vapors spread… and fade
A Beautiful birth
Each coming verse
Of rushes and hurts
In fevers immersed
Then currents disperse
Departing earth
…A Lovely fade…Does it still lay…Somewhere past space?
Tears trickling down like fate
Sweet, they twinkle around through space
Golden tender the pain we made
And smiles spanning a million days
and miracles made of mistakes
wind ‘round stories we bound in clay
And all the messy blessed array
Melts into a glorious cascade
…I dive and fall and melt and fade

8. Clockwise
Time keeps winding around
Coiled so tight, not right to be so bound
For Yang, she sang to Yin that all falls down
In Nature’s balance, is Time’s Wind unwound
Somewhere, His collection’s being scattered on the ground
And dizzy, Clockwise, letting go, removes his willful crown
The hands it leashed, released, returning back all Time had found
And forwards, backwards, all regardless zigzag Heavenbound

Waiting on an Angel
One to carry me home
hope you come see me soon
Cuz i don't want to go alone
I don't wanna go alone.
Now Angel, Won't you come by me?
Angel, hear my plea
Take my hand, life me up
So that I can fly with thee
So that I can fly with thee
