Have you ever heard a crow sing?
1
Its haunting sound means death reknown to ways that do not promote its freedom
2
In its sweet release of tongue and cheek
3
A crow’s voice is its greatest freedom
4
And I heard it at the corner of my eye
5
And I saw it at the corner of my ear
6
So I’ll take it in where I shall begin my journey through my soul
7
Let the music take me where my heart wants to go
8
But the difference between music and noise,
9
however the distinction be drawn,
10
is the invention, creation and personal inspiration,
11
from nothing, something is born.
12
With my palate satisfied, and my thirst no more
13
My body moves, my spirit soars
14
I dance, I sing, I feel so free
15
I invite you to dine with me
16
There was a time when madness ruled day and night and were fearful
17
There was a time when all seemed lost and nothing mattered in life or death so tearful.
18
There was a time that when the wind blew the hole in my soul could be heard to whistle.
19
But all people can find a path to fill the soul and madness ends, and tears subside and most of life is joyful.
20
Where will I go amongst poets, birds and dancers?
21
Spiritually a serpent, betrothed to the ground.
22
Eyes straining to visualize what my bones have already told me,
23
Enchanted by the movement, I taste it from afar.
24
Music, noise, sound and silence;
25
Each has its place in the cacaphony that is the daily soundtrack of our respective lives.
26
Just as the crow has his place among the necessary predators.(His prey may not necessarily agree).
27
My music may be your noise, your sound may be music to my ears, and sometimes silence is the greatest melody of all.
28
Music is the cup...
29
That holds the wine of silence
30
Sound is the cup, but empty
31
Noise is that cup, but broken.
32
I rested amid the wings of angels.
33
Protected from the winds fierce cries...
34
My soul, my heart were put at ease
35
By angels lullabies.
36
And if everything meant only nothing
37
To someone as completely whole as you
38
Then all my life would be this simple promise
39
That-you can have me, if I can have you
40
I Heard that voice out behind the wall
41
It was calling yelling to be saved
42
With the stroke of the pen, we have been set free
43
We are free to create, free to journey
44
So to the voices, the key has been given
45
The ladder set, over the wall
46
Leave fear behind
47
And always face the sun.
48
Whilst we bang the drum
49
And feel their pulse
50
It draws us like gravity
51
And takes us from this place.
52
An egret plucks between the waves
53
Nature’s rhythm of the dead nature’s rhythm of the dead
54
If uni-verse means just one song, if uni-verse means sing one song
55
Why the choir in my head?
56
Yes, the place is real, because it’s something I feel
57
Away from the sun, the stars the moon; but not from you my Juliet.
58
Who knows what roads follow ahead. We have a great journey ahead of us.
59
As one united, we cannot be defeated.
60
I hear the clamour of the crow,
61
Alarming friends and awakening nests.
62
Make your music it’s time for living;
63
The sun is up and the moon is at rest.
64
Only your music can heal my wounds
65
Only the sweet caress of your gentle voice sets me free
66
In the silence I still hear your song
67
Its heavenly whisper fills my soul
68
Smooth voices winding through the air like silken threads winding a skein of notes. Weaving rhythms through feet, bones, ears to smiles.
69
Blending pulse tones-tones as a master chef mixing a sauce.
70
Heating spices, more salt, stirring faster.
71
A taste treat worthy of audition.
72
You lay on the ground looking up at the sky.
73
The mighty clouds suck you away to a land you have never been.
74
The wonder of this new land excites you.
75
What is this place and is it real?
76
I hear my beloved’s voice in the call of the crow.
77
Deep throated, and pulsing, and rising slow.
78
Rare earth and purple, it beckons me;
79
I am a love drunk, and on my knees.
80
To open your eyes, you must open your mind.
81
To open your mind you must open your heart.
82
For to open your heart, that’s the way to start.
83
So all mankind won’t fall apart.
84
And I heard the crow speak these few words.
85
Then a silence fell, I had never heard.
86
These words are yours,don’t let them fall
87
Because who knows "what will happen after all."
88
Just remember baby it’s not as important as how many breaths
89
you have taken in your life
90
But how many times
91
Moments have taken your breath away
92
When I awoke this morning the mountian’s were calling
93
I’m still amazed at another day dawning
94
Theres still music and love in all I see
95
just like your love it plays on inside of me
96
Baby i’m gonna just wait and be all of me
97
Someday all the worlds people will all dance free
98
Till that day i’ll just sit here playing
99
these love songs by the sea
100
I am building a road to the clouds
101
A path that opens my heart to peace
102
I am calling out to my brothers and sisters around me
103
Let us sing and set our hearts free
104
Let’s look at the night..
105
she who waits for impatient light, to sing
106
again...and hear the sounds of sun rise
107
within the sound that is eternity.
108
Don’t wrap a diamond in cotton
109
What shines also has cutting edges
110
Be with everything as it is right now
111
There is no other path
112
Rise up your love in me, rise up
113
My heart does hear you sing -
114
Hear me, feel me sing your words.
115
I live with you inside.
116
You said everyone cries
117
You said everyone flies
118
And the joy I keep bound
119
Like a secret we hide
120
life can make you scared and alone
121
you feel sick and weak
122
nobody there for you
123
yet it is friends that you seek
124
This I know - we can’t keep killing
125
If there’s a God, it’s not his willing
126
Hail the Chief, and kill some more
127
That’s not what are lives are for........Peace.
128
For if it continues
129
A piece of each and everyone of us it takes
130
Leaving nothing but a shell inside
131
and nothing but a blank piece of slate
132
Winners and Losers both have pain.
133
The more we fight, the less we gain.
134
Let’s not, the earth’s beauty destroy.
135
Only in peace, will we each find joy.
136
Mercy and grace comes from above,
137
Granted by God and sent with His love.
138
And, peace will abound, indeed, it will come,
139
When we trust in God, and are saved through His Son.
140
By the sound of voice of earth and sky
141
Directions surround below and high
142
Spirit moves and stirs within
143
Through love we learn and can begin
144
Dashing drizzle drops of water cools the rock
145
Rhyming flow sounds calms your soul tone
146
Leave us alone and may we find peace
147
The sound of our hearts to lighten our feet
148
Be that as it may, may we hear the great song
149
the sound of the crow, the sound of the throng
150
silence is deafening
151
but after the deafness
152
comes enlightenment
153
don’t be afraid.... be still with yourself
154
And in silence we struggle
155
Until quiet does still us.
156
We find beauty and peace
157
...so rare and so sweet.
158
and as the day unfolds
159
we know not the mystery
160
it will hold
161
in all its majestic and holy possibilities
162
and yet the day ends not; behold the East:
163
and yet the day ends not; behold the East:
164
where rises yellow sun of brighter hue,
165
and yet the day ends not; behold the East:
166
where rises yellow sun of brighter hue,
167
directing eyes reborn to higher plane,
168
and yet the day ends not; behold the East,
169
where rises yellow sun of brighter hue,
170
directing eyes reborn to higher plane,
171
to drink in things once hidden from their view...
172
I was walking through the forrest, looking for a friend
173
When the beauty that was before me, seemed to have no end
174
There were birds in the trees singing simple melodies on branches that swayed and bent
175
They were all a part of one great big heart and a mother that wanted to help...
176
As it is we are quite separate
177
Our roots divided amongst this shared earth
178
Here is my shovel dig deep and you find
179
Our limbs quite entwined in this sacred dirt
180
Arise to the sweet forest air ,our sacred friend
181
As the light of days shortens before stretching out again
182
muted colors crunched and mashed underfoot
183
In every step embrace the circle feel peace in every step
184
Yet why do those who say
185
"peace comes with a price"
186
seem to delight when they
187
squeeze life in a vice?
188
Open your eyes.
189
Realize you’re not dead
190
Take a look at an open book.
191
Do what you like, that’s what I said
192
and in this life
193
we need to see
194
the heart and soul
195
then we"ll be free
196
The whole of the Law
197
is Do What Thou Wilt,
198
Life is One,
199
The whole of the Law
200
is Do What Thou Wilt,
201
harming none
202
as you thrust to the hilt!
203
Music was played
204
People started to sing
205
Hands were clapping
206
Hundreds of people left smiling and shared the love with their friends!
207
Look and see the joy all around and that increases with our attendion
208
Feed not the monster of sorrow but feast with the angles of truth
209
So powerful is out attention and direction that it grows whith our intensity
210
Celebrate what already is,,,, Beauty, Joy, Music , Dance and laughter...and watch it grow!
211
Tangerine voices brittle in winter grasses
212
discovered the fawn’s skull-less skeleton
213
in the distracting and carnovorous wind
214
tangerine voices in brittle winter grasses
215
discovered the fawn’s skull-less skeleton
216
because the distracting and carnivorous wind
217
the enchanting sway of the shattered light in the shallows
218
a light that the darkness can not overcome
219
yet the shallows hold shadows; fear and the horsemen
220
the skeleton seems skull-less,alone
221
A light that the darkness can not overcome,
222
yet the shallows hold shadows; fear and the horsemen.
223
The skeleton seems skull-less,alone,
224
but it’s not, there’s still light.
225
From high and low to all who know know
226
Good friends through woe, teaching us to let go
227
When melody’s right with all it’s might
228
Come and dance with us tonight!
229
Forever more and more, Love
230
With all that is hopeful let us know, Love
231
When things are dark, Love
232
What ignites the spark, Love
233
Music filled the darkened space
234
It gave us love and joy and grace.
235
Shall we truly know.
236
How music helps us all to grow.
237
for, yes, ’tis Grace whose notes we hear,
238
as, bending near the Earth we lend our voice-
239
for, yes, ’tis Grace whose notes we hear,
240
as, bending near the Earth we lend our voice-
241
and the Composer bless our ear
242
with Love’s forgiveness, dare we make this choice.
243
chanting, chanting, chanting, enchanting
244
sending, receiving, transcending
245
surrender identity,
246
serenity
247
Giraffes are known for their necks with 7 bones, and their spots for camoflauge
248
Do you envy them? I don’t!I heard of one, who overate,
249
Not realizing he’d get an ache.Since it didn’t hit his stomach until 3or4 months later,
250
It was moldy on top of the fact it made him feel tainted
251
Life is exactly like this story
252
going here, then going there
253
feeling excitement, feeling fear.....where am I?
254
Inhale......exhale - I am right here.
255
Three tips:
256
Everything bad is good for you.
257
We are all plagiarists.
258
Never give advice.
259
Giraffe’s can see a long way in the forrest
260
To fight violence with violence will never bring peace, only actions of love hold thhe power, the key
261
to a future worth living for,
262
to a tomorrow of promise
263
generations of rightousness
264
rain reflects light like no other
265
do not be fooled or frightened by the damp coolness
266
every color is there
267
waiting for you
268
. . .remember to recharge your soul
269
letting waters of joy, peace, and friendship
270
flow around you and from you,
271
strengthening you and all they touch. . .
