SUN & MOON
sunlight shining on my back porch
thoughts flow gently through my mind
my heart sings that old familiar tune
and it brings me back to life
it's been grey for several days now
I’ve been searching for the light
find no solace in the comfort of my bed
when I close my eyes at night
somedays I hold on too tight
somedays I just let it go
I long to stay close to you lord
something holds me though
life it just keeps you guessing
you can’t ever try to know
what's to unfold these moments
the truth of light is all you have to hold
somedays I hold on too tight
somedays I just let it go
I long to stay close to you lord
something holds me though
one day when I lye with my love
and all my dreams have grown wings
my soul will take flight
between the sun and the moon
between the sun and the moon
between the sun and the moon
DEEP BLUE WATER
deep blue water
carry me home
wash my skin
and cleanse my bones
beautiful ocean
moving inside
swallow my anger
and empty my pride
empty my pride
as she pulls me
back to her depths
telling me rise
rise up sister again
and be real this time
step into the truth
I'm pulling away
all that is not you
you don't have to struggle
you don't have to fight
how could you find the stars
if it weren't for the night
ancient mother
break me in two
pour out my blindness
and fill me with truth
leave me breathless
leave me whole
let me rest
back to this soul
back to this soul
but this tide is breaking so slowly
and I can feel every molecule
as she pulls me
back to her depths
telling me rise, rise up sister again
and be real this time
step into the truth
I'm pulling away
all that is not you
you don't have to struggle
you don't have to fight
how could you find the stars
if it weren't for the night
lay me down gently
back to the shore
I'll try again
love a little bit more
a little bit more
as she pulls me
back to her depths
telling me rise
rise up sister again
and be real this time
step into the truth
I'm pulling away
all that is not you
you don't have to struggle
you don't have to fight
how could you find the stars
if it weren't for the night
CHESTNUT TREE
in the cold dark hollows
where the wind don’t blow
I will find you there
in the middle of the snow
I will find you there
waiting for me
I will find you there
by the chestnut tree
and the leaves will change
and the snow will fall
I will find you there
after all
and I’ll know it’s you
when I see your face
though it’s unfamiliar in this certain place
I’ll walk along another mile
to the silhouettes
I’ll stop and smile
with a golden sun
and a silver moon
I will watch for them
as I wait for you
in the cold dark hollows
where the wind don’t blow
I will find you there
in the middle of the snow
I will find you there
waiting for me
I will find you there
by the chestnut tree
TRAILS
step by step
down the path
straight into the wild
where answers lie
to all the questions
you didn’t know you had
and all the while in the wild
your heart will be free
there’s healing in the sky
medicine in the trees
and as you walk
the golden sun
illuminates you
so you can see
what lies within
and work on what you need to
there’s truth in the river
answers in the water
there’s truth in the river
answers in the water
step by step
further on
you journey to the unknown
and at the end
of the path
oh my
how you have grown
keep travelin on
sing your song
straight from the heart
be humble as you
do what you do
remember the start
there’s a wisdom to the earth
pay attention to the message
there’s a wisdom to the earth
if we’re silent for the message
