Across the Galaxy

Fly
Fly
Fly
As you like
Fly low
Fly high
All across the sky
Past the moon
Out to Mars to say hi
Come back
And just call it a joyride
Went out for an afternoon
And saw part of the solar system
Just zoomed around
To our favorite music we listened
Pass the blunt to free our minds
Outside the galaxy
Yeah that high
We got home just as fast as we’d left
Pulled in and the dinner table was already set
My crazy uncle was there
Playing with all the pets
Much respect
We eat dinner
Then you ask what’s next?
A wink and I suggest
Not yet
You say
Rather have you take me away
Another ride
But this time past Mars
Through the Asteroid Belt
To the giants
Whose gravity is always felt
Ride through all their moons
Off to the Kuiper Belt
Wave to Halley as we reach for other stars
Alpha Centauri, Proxima, and Alcyone
All the way to Andromeda Galaxy
And I still get you home baby
Just in time to get comfy
For me to hear all your words
Your love
Your concerns
Now honey let me feel your soul burn
I won’t use my tongue until it’s my turn
We can do all of it in one day
Cause time
Like race and money
Is a made up thing
In a heartbeat we can travel the galaxy
As long as we’re together
And your next to me
I know all of nature’s spells perfectly
And can grant your every wish
Instantly

Love Knew

Last night
I was in the same backyard
That I had spent years in
Guessed the ages of the trees
I recognized these
And though it had been years since that house was in my life
I found myself there last night
Now my friend owns it
Isn’t that nice
When I was there I was polite
Helped cook the food
As I had before
Even helped with the dishes
As they piled up more and more
We go around the circle again
Still friends
Still in love now
As we were then
Why do I think as though I wait to begin?
When I already began
Long ago
Why I could not see
What I already did know
Been in love with so many people already
And them in love with me
That love has no ending
It will last for eternity
I say that with certainty
For that is love’s nature
The way it exists
It is eternal
Never will diminish
So now I sit and wait
For my flight to take flight
And I can witness a wedding date
Of friends I’ve missed
Others there whom I am sure I kissed
But in our time apart
Never a moment I evicted them from my heart
But yeah, we do live apart
But sure our friendship did already start
Our love for each other will never stop
Last for as long as all things last
Which is always
Just from time to time re-cast
Given a new role by God to be something new
But always remain in love with those you knew
Those close to you
And those that help you grow
Why wait?
When love already knew

Last Dance

Do you want to dance?
You should
Because this is your last chance
Before the lights come on
And the bartender declares
The drinks are all gone
And it is time for you all to go
So long
If you did not come here to dance
Why did you come?
Did you not want to have fun?
Maybe meet someone?
But if so
Why are you standing all alone?
Why even leave your home?
How come you came in the first place?
Could of stayed home and gone to outer space
Watched some fake news
A whack ass police chase
But you got dressed
And did up your face
Dressed up in your best
Probably should of word that argyle sweater vest
But you still look good
Best of all you left your hood
Drove out of the wood
Made it to this place
But you are over there and no one sees your face
So come over here and dance with me
Cause I don’t need to see your face to know
That in you a fire glows
So please let it grow
Show yourself to me
So then the world will know
You can be free
Because they all will be looking at me
You get to be the one who can see
The world as you want it to be
Now you’re all dressed up and pretty
On the outside
Downtown in the city
I’m the only one right now
Who can see inside
See your infinity
Know you’re a lot more than pretty
I also see you might not be ready
So just hold on
I’ll keep you steady
I’ll keep you warm
To protect you I have sworn
To no one other than the Lord
So it’s all good
Go ahead and dance
I am the only one who will take a glance

Everything But U

There are plenty of things that are going my way
Got a raise in pay
Spent the weekend at my friends wedding day
But each day
I do still pray
That I may not feel this way
Although it is all in my favor
Victory
I cannot savor
I just feel left out of the party
On the outside looking in
Still feel like I am waiting to begin
Wondering when
Her love will come back in
I should not even care
Or worry
Say things so people will feel sorry
Really it’s great
A job
And a million hobbies
Up late in fancy hotel lobbies
Dressed up and acting really snobby
I guess I also like quiet nights in
And really long conversations
Deep questions
And spiritual contemplation
I tell myself
If I had you as my reflection
I would always want to gaze on my complexion
Because it would really be you
And I know you love me too
I think then it is true
It doesn’t mean anything
Without you
And I am not even sure who
Because all the love in my life I once thought
Have all ended the same
Shot
Gone
Left
And I write these words
To heal my heart
Few people heard
Assume I have it all
That is true
I do
But I hardly hear the question
What’s on your mind?
It’s really been a long time
Haven’t shown someone my dark side
Without them leaving
Running away to hide
Why don’t you want me by your side?
I leave it to you to decide
In the meantime
I will continue to shine

New World Begin

It will begin soon
Maybe next week
Maybe tomorrow afternoon
No matter what
No matter if we wait
No matter if we know the date
We will know it is true
When the feelings come over you
It will be the New World
All things outside
Now seen within
Yes
We are ready to begin
To live a life we know has no end
Forget the word enemy
Only know friend
This is our future
Our given destiny
Our invitation to eternity
To time working differently
Our feelings changing
Our DNA re-arranging
Our hearts shinning
We’re ready Lord
Send the chariot
Heaven is our next stop
Straight to you Lord
Straight to the peak of your holy mountain top
To our own special place
In your wondrous creation
We call outer space

The Lord's Call

If one day the Lord calls
Here is my advice
Pick up the line and say hi
Then just listen
As if you were sitting right beside
At the throne of the Lord
Dwelling in Heaven
Learn why a weeks days has seven
What is special about the number 11
But when their majesty
Lord Everything
Shows up in your life one day
It will not only be holy things
Rather ordinary things
Like you meet a man who has your same name
After a Colorado ski day
Says things about a life you once dreamed
But here you were
Living in the same scene
In both worlds
And in between
Thank you Lord for blessing me
Why would I ever doubt thee?
When here you are in my life so clearly
Giving me all I need
Even if I beg and plead
Why are you so good to me?
Oh yeah
You made me
And Everything
Clearly as a sign of your love for humanity
I know this
And they question my sanity
But give a show to Hannity
Are you kidding me?
I do know this though
If God asks
Yeah
I do want to see the light show
Go behind the scenes
Learn what the apostles knew
Brahman enlightened in blue
Through the galaxy
Straight to the center
Doesn’t matter if you can remember
You went
And came back
Engaged in a holy pact
To be the Lord’s instrument
In their universal symphony
Do their work
Spread love
The Lord will give you your instrument
And teach you to play
This is how they made
It’s designed this way
Let’s do our part
Each one
Each day

Another Day at The Lake

I drove these familiar streets
On a beautiful day
The refreshing lake that is what is waiting for me
A view that is a sight to see
The setting sun
Making us all feel young
A boat speeds by
We wave and say hi
We wish we were on board
And they wish they were with us on shore
The splendor we cannot ignore
So where else would I go?
With free time on my hands
And summer in the land
I got it
I understand
I am happy just to be here
Because there are plenty
Not as lucky
When God gives gifts
Please receive
It is only the Lord listening to your needs
Know they are blessings
And given instructions
No need to doubt the maestro’s conduction
That’s why it is obvious to come to the lake
Lie in the sun
Listen to the boat wakes
Sitting here amongst everyone
All these people live here too
Not really sure what they do
One of them is certainly you
If not
If you have never been to this place
One of this little town’s great escapes
Then set a date
And get here with haste
No more time left to waste
Summer wanes
And soon we arrive at the Equinox gate
Summer will be all done
And you will have to wait until next year to come
And have fun here
There is no need to delay
No reason to say no
For the lake is beautiful
But it is not just for show
It is to enjoy
Don’t you know?
That’s why I came
So should you
Relax and cool off in the lake
Enjoy the sun
And listen to the boat wakes

Grassroots

It’s that time of year
Our favorite festival is near
Just up the road from here
I see tickets for sale everywhere
See you at Grassroots
I hear it in the air
Ads on the radio
Every station
Country
And adult easy listening
But Grassroots is like a hippie thing
Right?
I thought that too
Then I went
I saw you
All my old friends
Students and youngsters
Old and young
Never heard the songs that got sung
But at the Roots
I feel we are one
There was this one time
My friends little brother gave me a ride
And I was sure when we arrived
We were in Heaven
Everything pleasant
People just living their essence
I was calm in the Divine Presence
I met a man
And told me how his views had changed
Grassroots was once lame
But now he and the people here are the same
Didn’t really know that until he came
Found out who he was
That’s what Grassroots is
Not about drugs
It is about being you
And loving what you do
Who you are
Listen to zydeco music under the stars
People who are committed to sleep in their cars
Some people set their calendars to Grassroots
I probably should
Make sure my life stays all good
Meet you there I would
And go or not this year
My spirit will be there
At Grassroots
Because this is where I met my spirit
I guess I should of known it
When he said his name was whatever it was
And I gave that name
To a creation of mine on the page
Said the same things
I would of said
Gave me a gift
As if my mind were read
I’ll see you at Grassroots
Even though I skipped it this year
I’ll see some people I know
We will talk about the show
Won’t say I didn’t go
We’ll laugh
Man, it was great to see you there
I was chillen with my mares
I swore it was you
I know
I knew
That’s Grassroots for you

Spiral (Time After Time) Time Never Ends

So here we are again
Back then
We were not really friends
And now it all has long since come to an end
But here we are
Now let’s begin
Because I am still the same
I still miss that sweet name
And think how much fun it was to with you game
It is funny
This ride called life
People tell you time is straight
But I disagree
Disagree based on my fate
How some of the things I cannot seem to escape
My mark I do make
Honestly though
I am right back here
Is this a mistake?
Or how time
Really operates
A spiral
Past the same points again and again
Just further up the ladder
Connecting to different parts of universal matter
Hear less chatter
See more and more these things matter
Why am I back where it all began?
Why does my mind drift to you?
Why do I sit at the same coffee shop?
Why do I know this world is true?
And not the other one
And all I see is you
I could think it is wrong
Or decide it is time to write a new song
But every time I do
I see someone
Guess who?
It’s you
And though I know you won’t walk in that door today
And maybe never again
I will know this
Time has no end
What happened once
Will happen again
This time we will wear different clothes
And be in a new place
But when we meet
Eye to eye
I will know it is you
For I will never forget your face
It dwells forever in my heart
In your special place
