Circle the Sun
Heart and soul
I met you at the gallery
Our time was there
We wound into the tapestry
Now each day
Together we feed the flame
On solid ground
We’ll circle round the sun again
We’ll circle round the sun
We’ll circle round the sun again
Step outside the shadow
Then we'll laugh into the dream
The light on your face shines in us all
Is everything
Heart and soul
We walk along the scenery
A hand to hold
Our journey in the galaxy
Wind around
The time is ours alone
I’ll hold you there
A picture perfect path to home
We’ll circle round the sun
We’ll circle round the sun again
Step outside the shadow
Then we'll laugh into the dream
The light on your face shines in us all
Is everything
Listen on The Future is Unwritten page

Just Breath
I stare at the waves as they gently roll in
The sand runs away and then pushes back
The past seems like a dream
And time has gone by so quickly
The breeze is gentle across my skin
As I imagine the dark cool water in the distance
It would be easy to swim out
With long strokes as far as I could go
And just breathe
And breathe again
But it is just a moment
A flash from inside
Where do these things come from anyway
It moves away in the waste stream
Flowing to another place
Looking for another home
I jump to my feet and run as fast as I can
Into the dark of the night
And just breathe
And breathe again
In the morning I rise
A new day to begin
I see a bird through the open window
The freedom to fly away
I feel the heart beating in my chest
To carry me down the road
Running again to find the place
Where we all can reach the sky

The Soul Within
As I walk down this concrete path
I come across a flower
Crushed in the prime of its life
I pick it up and admire the color
And the aroma that it still holds
I place it in my pocket
I can’t bear it to be crushed again
I continue down this wandering path
And explore its many roads
I see the girl on the street corner
Screaming at the monsters within
Which only she can see
There is nothing I can do to comfort her
As she looks at me with eyes of love
There is nothing I can do to help her
So I turn away
I carry myself along for a while
With sadness and anger and joy and love
And I notice the man in the distance
Asleep on the ground
Covered in the spirits of the night before
And the night before and many many more
His pain and sadness have given up
They sit next to him on the ground as he sleeps
Waiting to torment him when he wakes again
I arrive at my home tired, weary of this world
I take the crushed flower from my pocket
And admire the fleeting beauty
I press it between some old pages
That I had also grown to love
There it will live for all of eternity.
A wind blows through an open window
To wrap my breath in the cold air

She Ran
She ran across the frozen ground
could not face the others
the sky a deep grey
snow gently fell
she would go to the lake and be alone
no one would mention the mistake
(or lament in passing)
In the forest she ran
the others left behind
soft whisper of the past
the shadows and snow
cover the path
The burden seemed to great
frozen in the fragile soul
her gaze fell upon the water
where she looked upon herself
something inside
and life has changed
the cold wind caressed her
while she considered the future.

Pulsar
Pulsar waiting
Dark star fading
We won't let you down
We are here on the ground
Pulsar
Pulsar
Where are you
We are waiting
Patiently
We are here on the ground
Pulsar
Pulsar
Pulsar waiting
Dark star fading
We are here
We won't let you down
Pulsar
Pulsar
Where are you
We are waiting
Patiently
We are here on the ground
Pulsar

Memories
The things we hold on to
From the past
The memories
Of love and pain
And reminders
Nothing lasts
Are the lights still on
Does the spark still shine
Shall we hold each other in the dark
While we wait for the next time
A simple object
And the Neurons fire
A chemical reaction
And a copy of the memory
Comes to life
The joy and laughter
Love and loss
Can all be felt the same as before
It is a miracle of living I guess
And also a curse
We stand on the shoulders of the past
Our frailty wrapped in our hearts and minds

Circle
The old woman looked at the young man
She felt she recognized him
Those eyes that face
So familiar
The words forming on his lips
She could not believe what he was saying
"I've been looking for you
and I've been praying
I used to be your husband
And you were my wife
We planted seeds at the festival
They grew strong and tested time
Now trees before us are open
To memories, to hope, we unwind".
What did he mean?
Could this be true?
She felt that she knew him
She thought that she knew
So she lay on the ground
In the shade of the tree
And opened her heart
Became one became free.
And life began
With memory of before
Before the drought
Before the war
In that time within laughter
And struggle and pain
When the trees were still young
And required the rain
And the seeds in the pocket
Were thrown on the land
At the festival
Where they walked hand in hand
Where the gaze of the aged
Of the weary old man
Fell upon the young woman
With a smile of the land
"I've been looking for you
and I've been praying
I once was your wife
In a time long forgotten
Before this long life"
He seemed to remember
With a tear in his eye
And a smile on his lips
And a blue in the sky
He lay on the ground
In the shade of a tree
And opened his heart
Became one became free.

Hope
Hope and love provide a path to the future
Pain reminds us of our fragile state
Time winds around us in a way we cannot understand
Joy is a moment of escape
Balance is necessary to continue
Excess keeps us alive
Memory reminds us of who we were
Forever reminds us of who we are not.
