MEADOWLARK
Bring on the storm, Summer
Bring on the storm
First kiss of rain
While the day is still warm
Scent of the desert
Arrives on the breeze
Smelling of Earth
And of Juniper trees
Long days over the meadows
Long days over the meadows
So sing, Meadowlark sing
So sing, Meadowlark sing
Splashes of colour
Where wildflowers bloom
Zinnia golden
And chicory blue
Midsummer nights
That are over so soon
Morning that stretches to
Late afternoon
Long days over the meadows
Long days over the meadows
So sing, Meadowlark sing
So sing, Meadowlark sing

AN INVITATION TO THE MUSES
Daughters born of the dark
Pool of memory, and the spark
That ignites what will be
If you’re willing, come to me
Let me drink your divine
Inspiration, Muses nine
Table’s laid, come and dine
I have fruit and I have wine
Sing to me that I may sing to you
Come as beauty, come as art
Fill the vessel of my heart
Plant a seed that I start
Weave your Magic, play your part
Ancient wisdom, tales told
Make the new from what was old
Bring the past into the now
If you’re willing, show me how
Sing to me that I may sing to you
Beauty flow from my hand
Like sacred rivers through the land
Weave your Magic, set me free
If you’re willing, come to me
If you’re willing, come to me

FIRST LIGHT
Dawn settles over the horizon
Lifting the veil of the night
First light
Darkness dissolving into colour
Shadow defining into form
And morning breaks
Over the plains
Over the plains
Over the plains
Westward that mountains painted violet
Imperfect mirror of the sky
In high saturation
Of colors bold, the East is blazing
In pink and gold, the day erasing
The night
Rising in beams behind the mesa
Shimmer of iridescent glow
Then flow sunlight
Then flow sunlight
In brilliant rays the day begun
With golden reach of rising Sun

RATTLESNAKE
Just when I didn’t know which road to take
Right on my path I saw the rattlesnake
Telling me now
Slow it right down
Don’t make the same mistake
Or nothing at all will change
No use in trying to go my usual way
Save that adventure for another day
Look to the ground
Turn it around
Heed what the omens say
Or nothing at all will change
Suddenly so wide awake
Nothing exists
Only the snake
Coiled tight and ready to strike
Oh, but I’m not afraid
I know I’m alright
(Will I dream of you tonight)
Just when I didn’t know which way to go
Rattlesnake told me what I need to know
Look to the ground
Turn it around
Take it a little slow
Or nothing at all will change

EARTH UNDER AUTUMN
Never a moment take for granted
Now that the golden light has landed
On the Earth under Autumn
Now that the leaves are falling down
Once ‘round the Sun, a new year older
Feeling the Samhain nights grow colder
As I turn towards Winter
I can begin to feel it now
Trying to navigate changes
While Nature keeps
Turning my pages
Thinking of friends who’ve gone before me
Slipped through the veil, I can’t ignore
That I am blessed to be breathing
Although my heart is grieving so
Fleeting this life, but full of wonder
Seizing each day, now I’ve begun to
See the Earth under Autumn
Now that the leaves are falling down
Down, down, down, down
Never a moment take for granted
Now that the golden light has landed
On the Earth under Autumn
Now that the leaves are falling down

Butterfly's Wing

BUTTERFLY’S WING
We are both creatures of the sky
And animals
A cord connecting to Mother Earth
A mind reflecting the Universe
We’re told a thousand different lies
Of separation
That Nature is outside, but not within
That somehow we’re immune
To the changes we bring
But Nature is both spirit and skin
A balance fine as a butterfly’s wing
Break through the labyrinth of lies
And realize
That we’re not the pinnacle of Life
The grand design
That we’re not the winners of the prize
Of dominion over
Time now to open up our eyes
And reawaken
A storm is on the rise, it’s time to see
We must listen to the cries
Of the Earth, our mother
For Nature is both spirit and skin
A balance fine as a butterfly’s wing

WHATEVER IS BIG, WHATEVER IS SMALL
Here, where my eyes can witness it all
Whatever is big, whatever is small
Here, where my mind can witness the dawn
And setting of Sun, and incoming storm
The wandering stars that circle the skies
To see where they fall
To mark where they rise
Here, where the Earth is written in stone
In mountain and plain, in animal bone
Here, where my eyes are open to know
A feather that falls, a print in the snow
A spiral of flower, a pillar of tree
All equal in power
All sacred to me
Here, where the land is painted in light
Refracted in colour, condensed into white
Here, where the stars are turning the night
Extending beyond the limits of sight
The limits of sight, too tiny to see
Or far in the distance, all sacred to me
I open my eyes to witness it all
Whatever is big, whatever is small

DIAMONDS
Falling snow, falling snow
Come and cover everything below
All the loss and confusion
With your lovely blanket of illusion
Smooth the ridge, fill the hollow
Cover all my emptiness and sorrow
With your soft Winter whiteness
Turn my darkest shadows into brightness
Tiny snowflakes come drifting
Lighten all the loads that I’ve been lifting
With your bright crystal silence
Turn my frozen teardrops into diamonds
Weight the trees, bend the branches
Hide my broken dreams and chances
Keep my footprints all frozen
On the paths I never should have chosen
Bury obstacles underneath
Your lovely Winter world of wonder
Under cold blanket sleeping
All the hidden troubles I’ve been keeping
Falling snow, falling snow
Come and cover everything below
With your bright crystal silence
Turn my frozen teardrops into diamonds

BIG SKY
Big sky, curve down
Paint colour, breathe light
Big sky, set Sun
Call darkness, sing night
Big sky, rise Moon
Dance planets, spin stars
Big sky, form cloud
Roll thunder, fall rain
Big sky, build storm
Howl hurricane, wind wail
Big sky, flash bright
Strike lightening, white fire
Big sky, stretch tight
Blue canvas, bright day
Big sky, fly hawk
Fly eagle, fly crane
Big sky, beat time
Turn seasons, turn space
Big sky
Lead on
Lead over
Horizon

LONGEST NIGHTS
Sunlight shines, but nowhere near
Longest nights of the year
Diving into quiet dreams
Rest your head as moonlight streams
Far away, far away
Sheltered from the world outside
Fell asleep by fireside
Let the wind blow
Let the clouds grow
Let the storm go by
Time to open quiet eyes
Sunlight shines from Eastern skies
Dawn
