April 1 - What a Life
04:45
|
|||
Phew, what a life
In the sun beside the ocean
Sharp wind relentless and brisk
Rays of sunlight cutting thru only to burn skin
Yet somehow surrounded, inspired, delighted
By a crew of free children
Holding my heart hostage
With their expressive voices
Singing, "Hey-ah there's a butterfly
Hey-ah I can fly
Oooh-ooh come over here
Ahh-ahh the water's clear"
Wow, what a life

In this tree
Before sunset
I sit quietly

April 4 - Bees
01:30
|

the beekeeper arrived
out of my memory
worn jeans and a warm smile
tell me your name
i'd like to know you
i'll find my way
into your offering
colors lead me in
into your center
you are the flower
that i'm looking for
rhythm so steady
i find my balance
drink up your nectar
and i'll fly away
he left me this honey
drizzle onto fresh greens
it's so sticky
and so sweet
we are the seekers
of beauty and gratitude
i'll find my way
into your offering

April 5 - Tell Me
01:04
|
|||
tell me a crazy story
tell me your wildest dreams
bring in your passions
i can fit it all in here
in this heart of mine
if everyone could see thru your eyes
take in the world from your side
see all that you give
we'd find a better way to live
together in a new way
he gives me a smile
takes it in with a laugh
okay
okay
he welcomes the uninvited parts of each of us

sometimes i think
she might have been
a violin
cooing us through the thickest night
or maybe the breeze
twittering in our leaves
a singing saw
soothed by the silk
of a solid hand
|
||||
7. |
||||
Hoppin in the puddles
Boppin through the muddles
Dancin with the starries
Laughin into sleepy tonight
Juicin by the river
Loosin up the quiver
Stepping up the sillies
Laughin into sleepy tonight
Slippin on my jammies
Paintin on my toothies
Prayin to my goddies
Laughin into sleepy tonight

We are hiding in the bushes
Quiet and calm
Waiting for someone to pass by
A pigeon building its nest
A frog hoppin' all around
A raccoon washing its food
A snake hunting a mouse
We are hiding in the bushes
Quiet and calm

April 21 - Butter
01:01
|
|||
What is butter?
Butter...
Is it moonlight
captured in a calm?
Is it rose
and lavendar and dew?

The waves were high
The waves were low
You took my hand
Said, "Here we go"
They pummeled us
My clothes got soaked
I said, "I'm headed north"
You let me go
I swirled
And I swayed
Swept up in the spray
Who held my hand?
The watery ways
