Blossom and Blasphemy

Why do birds sing their song?
Why do their sounds
seem to linger on and on?
Ongoing silence wails,
revealing soft, distant
narratives and sun
Sunken hopes of a man
No fear but one,
but he wouldn’t tell me what
Watergates open wide
Pushing the sea
between once and once
Watergates open wide
Pushing the sea
between once forgotten land
Land in solitude,
facing the once everlasting
why

She Wakes The Sun
03:39
|

|
She goes out in the rain,
heading for the same clouds
She’s never lost or afraid,
only if she feels love
She’s small and brave,
smiling for comfort
She moves in a haze,
crying of sorrow
She’s so fond of the noise
that lives within silence
The gift to soothe by her voice
Warming the cold-hearted
Morning breaks
Some shadows run
from the dawning of day
She wakes the sun

Oak

Oak, bring out a memory
of a majesty in exile
Face your branches, strong and free,
growing endlessly toward skies
And all this time
is yours, not mine
For being,
is letting the past unwind
Embrace your vines
Outgrow your lines
Through seasons,
your leaves float inside my mind
Your leaves float inside my mind
Oak, you’re like a memory
of a majesty in exile
Take root in this reverie
Don’t let gravity hurt your spine
And all this time
is yours, not mine
For being,
is letting the past unwind
Embrace your vines
Outgrow your lines
Through seasons,
your leaves float inside my mind
In times like these,
you better stand your ground
The feelings are intertwined
The tallest trees
are catching all the wind,
while keeping the stems aligned

I Promise You The Sea
07:13
|

|
The moon is set for beaming,
high up above
Ignites the velvet ceiling
and illustrates the sky
Oh, your eyes are set for dreaming,
gazing aside
Your song will be my guide
into the light
Your song will be my guide
into the night
The tidal waves of time roll by
The streaking golden lights sigh
Ever-glowing rays collide
The current’s drawing lines upon us
Plunging into darkness now,
embraced by the tide
I promise you the sea, my love
I promise you the sea, dear
I promise you the sea, my love
The nearness
The swirling floods in between us
A lingering thought oversees us
Some cycles of warm and cold passing by
The air is thin, but it feeds us
I promise you the sea,
I promise you the sea
A thought of you and me
The thought of you and me
Slowly sinking into darkness
Moonlight hovers
You drag me
ashore

Lucid
03:31
|

|
I’m not alone,
still not alone
You’re like a reason,
a remedy
I’d like to see you
in my dreams
I’d like to throw off
the clarity
Follow highlands to be
roaming island of tales untold
Howl in darkness with me
Let the silence unfold
Oh, tonight
All the lights, they will flicker
Oh, tonight
Out of sight, hearts grow bigger
Follow highlands to be
roaming island of tales untold
Howl in darkness with me
Let the silence unfold

Still I Rise
07:18
|
|||
|
I am gazing into the night
Weary faces run out of sight
You are looking up to the sky,
wondering how it can reach so high
I was dreaming of better times
for a nation in praise of crimes
You were hearing the other side,
bearing others that won’t abide
I’ve been reading between the lines
You’ve been loyal to neon signs
You may write me down in history
with your bitter twisted lies
I was searching into your eyes
You were looking for stereotypes
You may trod me in the very dirt,
but still, like dust, I’ll rise
I’ve been spreading my arms out wide
You’ve been talking with foolish pride
I will channel my anger wise
You let bias rule over right
Oh, and time will show
how stories fade, while others don’t
The yearning song echoes its call
Yet seasons come and reasons grow
