of dreams (audio)

It never was and never is about the field

It is about the desires of your heart and your soul revealed

It is those deep longings that need to be fed

It is about letting our life go where the spirit has led

dreams are the fuel of a hope that lives way down deep

circumstances might try to steal them, but they’re the most important thing we keep

sometimes they get buried, or lost or even broken

Other times we hold them so tight we never even let them be spoken

We are meant to dream and if we build it they will indeed come

But what’s the point of building if we aren’t having fun

Dreams are meant to be the joyful stuff of Queen Mab and her faeries

We have no time for bad ones and no use for our worries

We

need

dreams…

We have dreams

We live dreams

And we have to believe they are possible.

We

Dream.

Up and Down (audio)

One foot in front of the other…up

We climb and climb and climb

Rocks and ridges, trees and streams

Natural nature, nearly pristine

The lake below like smooth green glass

Deep, shallow, deep, vast

The mountain beckons

And all around more mountains stand shoulder to shoulder

The green rises into the rock into the snow into the bright blue, pointing to heaven

The summit scene like something in between

Up…there isn’t any more and yet there is

and down…we can see enough to know we can’t see it all

take it in…breath it in…every breath so sweet, the way air is supposed to be.

One foot in front of the other…down

Return to what was, but don’t forget what is

The view will never be the same.

You’ve been up and down.

Serenity (audio)

warm goodness,

like comfort food, and a sincere embrace

simple beauty

like friendship and a welcome smile full of grace

absolute calm

like smooth water waiting for the wind, a paradox of intensity and chill

joyful bliss

like something so sweet you might never get your fill

enchanted nature

like a child’s playground, pure creations place of recreation

jubilant optimism

like a blind trust, treating hope as inspiration

profound silence

like a love song that needs no sound

lasting peace

it’s the key to a better world…found

serene

I did not (audio)

You accuse me…

I did not

You don’t know me, but you chose me

I did not

You had the power

I did not

Injustice abounds disguised as justice

I did not

I should have had a chance to speak

I did not

Everyone should get to defend themselves

I did not

Everyone should have the right to know why

I did not

You said you’re sorry

I did not

You decided to move on

I did not

You may not care

I do

It matters

flame dance (audio)

Build and build and build and then…

ignite!

set it free and the dance comes alive

Hypnotic, it pulses

growing, retreating, like waves on the evening tide

gold, red, blue

jumping from one spot to the next

sparks of energy bursting with life, inviting more…

reaching out to inspire…more dancing

warm, it engulfs

radiant, it blinds, attracts, mesmerizes

It’s nearly out when just one breath can rekindle

more vibrant than before

bigger dance, bolder…

violent, intense, pure

life-giving…saving, simple, cozy, peaceful, romantic,

fire

dance
