Visions

I see visions so real I can taste them,

visions of forests, lush and green stretching before me,

inviting me into their luxuriant fold of soft, soft leaves,

fingers, a thousand, touching my senses,

the instant recognition of something old,

from a long forgotten time and place,

just waiting for me to hear their voice,

see their words, acknowledge what I already know…

I cannot, I will not, I won't

I see the dirt and I see the stains,

the cracks run deep through poisoned veins,

the marks of a broken nation in disgrace,

graffitied on the walls, tattooed on your face,

and I shudder, I turn and I run, and run, and run…

I cannot, I will not, be one and the same,

I don’t stand for you, I won’t play your game,

I’m not enrolling, I won’t play the part,

I’ll live all alone but I’ll be true to my heart,

I will not pretend, I’m sick of the motions,

I'll live off fresh air and fresh herbal potions,

but be a slave on the hamster wheel,

that I won’t be, I can think, I can feel.

New Moon Night

picture my own

When the heavens appear as rainbows melting into the ocean blue and silver,

when the crashing waves flood through your soul and wash away all wrongful memories,

when the new moon dons the skies this darkest of dark nights,

celebrate the death of the old, the past, that which does not serve you,

and embrace the warmth and the love and the growth of the Aspen,

protecting your ancestors, shading your present and reaching to your higher self.

The Dance of your Life

Allow the world to fade away

feel the bass that’s beating low

take your hands and guide my hips

let the music take control

gasps of pleasure pass my lips

now look deep into my eyes

this is what I promise you

I’m the dance of your life
