I can feel your heartbeat
Pumping through your chest
And it makes me feel
Close to you
I can see your vibrant eyes
Smiling into mine
And it lets me know
We both feel close
I can smell the roses
Showing me to go slow
And it feels like home
With your hand to hold
I can taste cacao
Warming my mouth
And I feel your kiss
On my lips
I can hear the wind chimes
Telling me it’s time
And it feels so right
I could cry

E|------------------------------3---3-----------------------------|Just A Drop
Old souls young at heart
Find each other in the dark
Eyes closed open minds
Feel the fire of flying sparks
Om shanti shanti shanti* [4x]
Gold tones from the source
Offer their light showers
Wild horses given wings
Run in endless sunflowers
Om shanti shanti shanti
Show those colors
All you rainbows
Share those high notes
All you sparrows
Om shanti shanti shanti
Oceans of love
Offer their abysses
Just a drop is enough
That is what this is
Om shanti shanti shanti
***
*“Om shanti shanti shanti” is an invocation of peace.

Sparkles in your touch [Sparkles in your touch]
Serve as a reminder you are as firm as granite
Moving mountains across the planet

Serve as a reminder you are a blessed star
Giving medicine to the world

Walk in beauty with the Almighty with you
Fill your cup with love every day

Wherever you are
However far
We share the same space
To be stars
My heart burns bright for you [4x]
My every breath shares your air
My misty rain once was your ocean
My fire inside lives in you too
Mycelium under us
My heart burns bright for you
The dragonflies adore you
The butterflies hover above you
The fireflies come to comfort you
And even I fly in love
My heart burns bright for you

Whisper your wishes to me
I am listening with open ears
Send your prayers in the wind
Sing your sweet melodies
Show your dance to the starlight
I am seeing and twinkling
Give your glow to the night
Share your heart with the sky
You bring the milk
I bring the honey
I am the king for you
Queen
Go where you want to go
I am in awe from afar
Be who you choose to be
Stand in your sovereignty
You bring the milk…
Bloom where you are planted
I am butterflying all around you
Grow your glorious garden
Bless the worlds with your awesome blossom
You bring the milk…

When I lose myself
In the infinite abyss
Of your inner ocean
Waters wavering
Whirling and deepening
I get lost in oneness
I get lost
When I lose myself
In the eversweet peach
Of your inner paradise
Flora flourishing
Opening and blossoming
I get lost in oneness
I get lost
When I lose myself
In the roaring thunderstorm
Of your inner atmosphere
Lightning crashing
Rumbling and flashing
I get lost in oneness
I get lost
When I lose myself
In the endless spaciousness
Of your inner universe
Stars twinkling
Spiraling and sparkling
I get lost in oneness
I get lost

When it warms up the night
Still with you

When it brushes my skin
Still with you
I feel you in cacao
When it kisses my mouth
Still with you
I feel you in guitar strings
When my heart sings

E|------------------------|------------------------|We Used To Run
We used to run as wild as the country
Revealed itself as we were blazing through
Thunderous love pumping through every vein
Long tails dashing in the seas
When we were with each other hoof to hoof
I reached my neck out to hug you
When we were with the melody of the moment
We would be coasting in the angelic breeze
And when we walked it was perpetual Spring
The flowers outnumbering the patches of bare earth
And when we ran it was as free as the wind
The path was open all ways open
And when we flew it was an effortless lean
Into the future and mine was bright and blue
When we remember where we come from
We become one with the memory

Into the sea I will go
Into the sea I will go
Into the sea I’m diving
Into the sky I will go
Into the sky I will go
Into the sky I’m flying
Into the stars I will go
Into the stars I will go
Into the stars I’m shining
Into your arms I will go
Into your arms I will go
Into your arms I’m going

Calling all artists—enjoy the space
This is an open canvas place
As for your twinkle shimmer sparkle
Your light your warmth appreciates
All you composers: bring your composure
This is a story well underway
As for your brushstrokes splashes auroras
You are invited to co-create
I am I am on my way I am on my way [4x]
Calling all consciousness—bring your finesse
This is a graceful grateful place
This is a blast this bliss this blessing
This is a sacred naked space
This is a pleasant present place
Made for the swan skywalker starchild
Made for the sufi singer seer
Made for the wild colors flying
I am I am on my way I am on my way [4x]

I send a ray of white
Through the diamond in my chest
In order to harness the rainbow inside
This is my high desire
I am a color wheel
In an arena of lights
I send the spectrum through myself as a prism
As I am crystalline
Just as the stars align
This child of light shines in beauty bright
And we are all stars together we aura
Dancing constellation
I am an open door
Hoping for you to explore
Your outer reaches and my Innermost
As I will share my aura
I share my dreams and trust
I have my pixie dust
As I am filled with the most mystical gift
This is my love
Just as the stars align…
I give my vivid violet
You iridescent blue
Metallic sheen and mother of pearl
We marble swirl
Just as the stars align…

E|----------------------------------------------------------------|Brave Spirit
Brave spirit rises with the moonlight
Dancing as the deer in the meadow
It is in the hooting of the night hawk
It is in the cool morning dew
She is a brave spirit
Gardener of the star seeds and
Wildcrafter of herbal medicine
Water bearer and rhythm carrier
It is in the tempo of her drumbeat
It is in the flowers in her hair
She listens twice and she speaks once
Her walk is light on the earth
He is a brave spirit
Guardian of the sacred melodies
Honorer of the Great Mystery
Trail blazer and fire starter
It is in the strumming of his guitar
It is in the feathers that he wears
His attitude is one of gratitude
Pilamayaye Wakan Tanka
There in a prayer two souls
Circle around the holy one
When one could be loved one learns
To be lovable and to love
Brave spirit draws two together
Bathing in the same riverbed
It is in the dawn of creation
It is in the life everlasting
Brave spirit rises with the moonlight
Dancing as the deer in the meadow
It is in the hooting of the night hawk
It is in the cool morning dew

E|----------------|----------------|To Create The Peace
To create the peace in me
I must sing as sparrows sing
As a royal force of calm
That relaxes everything
With the sparrows’ soothing song
And the wind sending it long
I will pacify this forest
Being tender kind and strong
To create the peace in me
I must journey as the deer
Being stealthy in the forest
Moving safely far and near
With composure as the deer
I will walk to make my way
To the place where I am going
At a pace I can sustain
To create the peace in me
I must breathe as the bee
In the presence of the petals
With the pollen that I bring
With obedience as the bee
I will work delightedly
To be humble artful helpful
Noble diligent and sweet
To create the peace in me
I must see as eagles see
Having keenness in my senses
Having sensibility
With a lift of eagles’ wings
I will elevate my mind
I will focus my attention
On the fine gifts that I find
To create the peace in me
To remember how to smile
I must get to know my nature
As a child everwild
I am lion hear me purr
I am humming hummingbird
I am raindrop bearing rainbow
I am crystal clear and pure

*Tempo rubato is the suggested rhythm, with variable shifts in speed and space, like soothing waves, expressive and free-flowing.

When the wind blows heavily
I lift my voice to the heavenly
Those angels those eagles

Those smoky smudges satisfying
When the waves crash heavily
I lay my heart on the heavenly
Those water lilies those mermaids
Those great blue whales there swimming
When the earth shakes heavily
I lay my head on the heavenly
Wild roses wild raspberries
Wild horses gnomes and fairies

Enters the sun
Onto the horizon
Rising with the children
Indigo blue
Enters a feeling
Of happiness I am
Receiving the blessing
Of sun energy
I am inspired
To echo the sun
Casting my sunbeams
Illuminating shadows
Rise shine
I am invited
To shine with all my might
Radiating light
In every direction
Viva to dawn
In the golden hour of morning
When the open eyes
Gaze upon the light
Good morning sun
Thank you for this new day
I believe
I am born again again
Rise shine

Every wildflower knows how to hold the earth
Aware of the way of the wind we remember to bend
When we bear fruit we present our seeds to the breeze
Trusting the wind to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt
We open our petals to the heavens
Bathing in the light that purifies
Bringing that energy inside
Every wild animal knows how to tread lightly
Soft paws gentle hooves we remember the shush of the sea
Moving like the ocean in motion inside of us
Trusting the water to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt…
Every wildfire knows its role in the medicine wheel
To end one cycle for a new life cycle to begin
We burn like the phoenix and return to the dawn of a new day
Trusting the fire to allow us to continue to flourish
Flourish [4x]
[And] with our roots planted firm in the dirt…
