unspoken
i know there is no name for it
the way you watched me dress in the mirror
the moment like a holy wine
you drink and never see the fever
but i remember how it burned
like emotions on my brain
forever changed is how i am every time
i know there is no name for it
the way the sky smells fat with rain
it’s a very simple thing
like the swollen ache of summer
or the buzzing thrill of silence
there are no words to explain
what is this life i’ve stumbled on?
like a bird on the wing
trip a soul into something
do i get to feel this spring?
or is it all made of nothing but a dream?
for who can doubt the moth in its season?
responding to the pressure, the reason
that a rose must feel to bloom
or the beating heart assumes
when will i let go of control and let the love take me out in its flame?
what is this life i’ve stumbled on?
like a bird on the wing
trip a soul into something
do i get to feel this spring?
or is it all made of nothing but a dream?

move me
forget all the things you wanted say
make a list and throw it away
for bone will wrap the marrow in its own time
everything’s coming up a dream in my mind
how do you think the clouds fall from the sky?
move me
i think your voice is like a star, simmering
wanting to burst into the void of everything
touching the mystery when it all seems so far away
it’s really not so far away at all
so what was it that you wanted to do?
when the world is naked right in front of you
and horses run to show you everything
mark your lips with honey and kiss
can you make the clouds fall from the sky?
move me
i think your voice is like a star, shimmering
echoes of a little death pour out into everything
touching the mystery like a hand in the mouth of the river wide
well it’s really not so far away at all

peach
the way is long when the road is gone
but when i look up at the sun i am held in sugary light
of all the ways to spend the days
is the morning light upon your face?
there’s a mystery in what it’s all meant to be
but there’s a garden in my heart
and it wants to grow a little sweetness
so this might be the best way i know how to understand
what i’m looking for now is the taste of a peach
when i think upon the love that’s come and gone
i start to wonder what i am doing wrong
and i miss out on all the little joy
so i’ll pour my tea
and let the sun go down
count the ways that the world goes ‘round
feel my love like roots on the ground
and forget what i was worried about

clouds
the raindrops fall into the ground
and i wonder why the sorrow
fills me up like a paper cup
won't hold up tomorrow
everybody says it's strange i hold on so long
down and down the rain it falls to the ocean
i have dreamed that i am a cloud
pulled down like threads of silver straight into the ground
let it all out let it out let it come down
let it come down let it out let it all out
let it out let it come down gotta let it out
if raindrops like to feel your skin
and that is why they're falling
maybe it's time to go outside
and hear the bells are calling
everybody feels sad from time to time
drip drip drop out of my cup
until i feel like dancing
i have dreamed that i am a cloud
pulled down like threads of silver straight into the ground
let it all out let it out let it come down
let it come down let it out let it all out
let it out let it come down gotta let it out
i have dreamed that i am a cloud
pulled down like threads of silver straight into the ground
let it all out let it out let it come down
let it come down let it out let it all out
let it out let it come down gotta let it out

feel good
i know it’s alright to sing
to feel good, it’s alright
i know it’s alright to be
to feel good it’s alright
the time has come my dear
to let it all go, the fear
it’s time to let it go
the music is everywhere
in the boughs of the trees
where the light is a dance and a shadow of you and me
if you feel like you’re in your head
thinking about all the things you said
let it all fall away
i know it’s alright to sing
to feel good it’s alright
i know it’s alright to be
to feel good it’s alright

mother
oh how you must love her
with the weight of a mother
set the table for her return
fill the room with flowers
leave the songs on for hours
move your body where it wants to go
feel the sunshine on your skin
she’s alive again
you are everything she’s found
and her heart beats again
call every sister
oh how your missed her
who knows the path down to the ocean?
forget what they tell you
and the shit that they sell you
do you feel your body want to fly?
you are the whole thing as you are

moonflower
tonight I saw a moonflower
open wide into the dark
with no one as a witness
with no one in its arms
i’ve come to the conclusion
i’m all tied up inside
what if i were to open
the night is like a shelter
drifting high above the time
of these bodies made of worry
so heavy in their minds
i long to see the center
i long to show you mine
what if i were to open
in your arms
you’re asleep when i get home
and i’m blinded by conviction
that you can’t really understand
the way that i’m living
sometimes i feel so selfish
sometimes i feel so scared
what if i were to open
what if i were to open
what if i were to open

would you see me?

roses
i close my eyes to see colors blue and red and green
if i hold the feeling, i want to be a channel for your love
and give it out like roses
for a stranger never really is a stranger

my light my light is a flower dripped in dew and trembling shower
if I hold the feeling i am closer to the very star
that shines to pull me open
for a stranger never really is a stranger
my dear my dear can you hear it?
roots that drink to fill the spirit
if i hold the feeling, if i hold the feeling
i am closer to the very star that shines to pull me open
for a stranger never really is a stranger
if you've heard the beating of my heart with your heart
you must know the feeling of giving out love
you must know the feeling of giving out your love
you must know the feeling of giving out your love

wait forever
understand, i waited for the day
for the blue corn moon to light up my way
where the branches break beneath my feet
on the breathing back of god herself
i’ll wait forever if i have to
wait forever if i have to
understand, i waited for the day
when the amber light of autumn’s breath
feels like touching you
i’ll wait forever if i have to
wait forever if i have to
nothing really ever happens
without a dream
you put into the world
so why do i feel like it’s all passing me by?
i’ll wait forever if i have to
wait forever if i have to
understand, i waited for the day
when the flow of life will take me on my way
when the depth of all my intuition meets me in my depth of mind
in the place that everyone has inside they keep all to themselves
i’ll wait forever if i have to
wait forever if i have to
sometimes waiting is the very thing that keeps me from myself



halfway there
anyone can disappear if they really want to
with a rake and a key and leaves that fall like rain
where the roof is falling and the water seeps up through the ground
i was only halfway around
he drove up by my car and asked me if i was scared
to live here all alone in the dark
i said it’s peaceful here as the meth seeped from his eyes
that’s when the fear predicts the prize
i have seen all the pain of beautiful places
where pride hangs like a robe as thick as the air
i have seen the exchange of power for innocent faces
who are always halfway there
days and days went by and how i loved that little house
with the cat and cedar shakes and honeyed bread
but i saw no faces there for days and days at a time
that’s when my love was on the line
i have seen all the pain of beautiful places
pride hangs like a robe as thick as the air
i have seen the exchange of power for innocent faces
who are always halfway there

i didn’t know back then what to do
i would do anything to catch air with you
not out of love or sexual things
you had permission to be over everything
they told me you were just like a dog
waiting for scraps to fall on the ground
if you get to choose why can’t I choose to?
i wanted to know what it felt to live like you
i’ll never be like you
but someday i’m going to feel free
