About to Loose My Mind

What would it be like to
start over now?

When all that has happened
has come to this
and that...

filling
filling
filling
filling
filling

I can't take it anymore.

I am full.
not another drop.
I will burst.


But

I am thirsty.

So


I go looking.

It is so confusing, full and thirsty.


Hello my old Friend.

You are just in time to see me.

I am about to loose my mind
and it is no good at all doing that by myself.

Rays Of Sunlight

Rays of light
Rays of light


every-one can
every-one can
dance
dance
dance

nothing stopping
rays of light

you are shining
you are shining
as a diamond

Let the light shine in!
Let the light shine in!
Let the light shine in!

nothing stopping
rays of light
going nowhere
going nowhere
into nothing

You are shining
You are shining
like a diamond
when you're smiling
in the sunlight

Let the light shine
let the light shine in
let the light shine
let the light shine in

darkness covers
need the darkness
darkness covers
like a blanket
sleep a moment in the darkness

and
die
die
die
going nowhere
now we are here
going into
into nothing

Rays of sunlight
Rays of sunlight
you are shining
like the sunlight
when you smile
smile

I Am Happy

I am happy.

It isn't the safety of a house or wife,
nor even a full belly and clothes,

...or good work,

though I am

grateful

like soil is to rain.


There
is
word,

my quiet heart
upon which they rest,

and breath to carry them forth

for a world.

MySpace is Love

There is a song 'Addicted to Love' that comes to mind when I get on
MySpace with you. I bounce around from Space to Space like an
intergalactic nomad, never staying in one universe too long...just
enough to take some love and give some love.

What else is it that we are here for but this give and take, this
know and be known? It doesn't take long to fall in love a 1000 times
each day, a spark ignited by some flame of genious in everyone
whether musical, literary, drop-dead gorgeous, homely, creative, or a
total bore...it just doesn't matter. We show up. With whatever skills
we have to create what we can create we show up and connect. We connect.

There is no excuse for anyone with an internet connection to ever
feel alone again. I am here. You are here and it is now that
communication is.

There is so much love on MySpace I can barely stand it. It is
bursting with love like helium balloon, like, like a pregnant woman
about to give birth and we are, all of us, giving to birth to life,
to love in this Space. We tend to it like a child. We refine and play
and teach and learn like children. Dare I say that MySpace could very
well be our Heaven on Earth.

I have been addicted to it like that. So many incredible people that
I never dreamed could have existed are at my fingertips and as I
write this I can feel each person I have visited like you are doing
the typing for me, guiding my keystrokes as I watch in awe of what
pours through me from you. We are one in this MySpace space. It is no
wonder that addiction happens frequently here. Love is addictive,
creativity and expression are addictive. The pulse that runs through
your veins is just like mine and I am addicted to the circulation
running through us all. Molecules orbiting around each other like
lovers on a cosmic journey through all time.

MySpace is Love.

Lyrics - New Strings

[Verse]
leave me
don't you leave me so young now
who's the gunner that did this?
would he cry if I shot his own down?

teach me
that they're gone who will teach me?
I'm so angry I can't see
right and wrong are confusing me now.

[Chorus]
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
and I'm singing again

[Verse]
Give me some new strings
ones I'm playing are long gone
like a song thats been drawn out
oh, the voice of this singer is full of doubt

New strings,
this guitar, when they're new sings
I'm an orphan who earned wings
fly above all the past that war has done

[Chorus]
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
and I'm singing again

(repeat)
asleep in the field
the guitar in my hands
the strings are alive
(new last line)
and our family is singing again.

Finding Its Way

In.....

Out.....

B r e a t h e


push -

The universe unfolds.


EXPLODES



a dogwood blossom unfolds, explodes.


Life, love, energy in a pollen particle......

a baby finding its way


into this world....


this time, through you......
