Before you My home was in the wind and surf The birds and rain, voices of the northern lights Then you came I joined you beyond the aeons As you blew your cave bear bone And began to hum Eradicate the torment of a heavy heart Emancipate the deaf Sing the graceful third part Then orchestrate an air for only you to sing Caress it deep It’s always there to unlock the stars To enter Music Fanning the flames of a mystery Deepening the listening Losing Yourself to the endless symphony Of now Human Singing the tale of another man Have you ever heard Music It’s coming, coming, coming your way The very first song You want to dream? Want a tale in major scale? Wish to leave the hollow, to dance with the pan? Can you hear the brave drum from the moors? Follow the beat And leave the noise behind if we be lovers Performance starts, come join the gathering And you will leave with a wildflower aftertaste Become the kind who still laughs at butterflies Give me a home inside you until the final Thank you and a good night In here, I am the silence of sound Curing the common show For the steady song There, I’ll greet the greedy crowd But will never, ever sing to them Tick-tock, time stops Follow me into the fog To the hilltop Follow the call sky-clad Evoke the hum Allure the sirens All it took was Time and silence

Now you’ve been tucked in For eternal earthrise and wonder A sailor through aeons Story unheard Howling at the Earth Yours the whole graveyard of heavens A ship that sailed home You’re with us, face of the night Singing through the morn for mankind I want to sing with you You’re home now, outward urge As with every dreaming creature We want to come with you Here I came to be Your reach into the far On the stellar sea Cut in little stars We all want the due night Beauty which is worth the hurting We’re coming to join you Hope revived for a lifetime To rekindle the human spark In love with the night Now you’ve been tucked in For eternal earthrise and wonder A sailor through aeons Story now heard Howling at the Earth Yours is the whole starmap of heavens Of myriad endings We came here to be A waypoint to the far On the stellar sea Cut into little Stars calling with the sound Of a dreamlike dulcimer We came here to stay With your guiding light “And when he shall die Take him and cut him out in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world Will be in love with the night And pay no worship to the garish sun” - W. Shakespear / Romeo and Juliet Laudato Si Ad Astra

Once there was a silent canvas Sleeping stories unimagined Birth of what if’s, hope and wonder Winds will be named, words will shelter Then, something wicked this way camr Showed a way to the great escape Evoke the worlds, sparked the brain An ape in awe before a door To labyrinth To keystone Earth To fallen stars To there and back We’re the writers Of another way to be We’re the writers Of whatever we cry home A moment alone With unbeknown Reset the world Imagine home A primal need To touch the stars Only way there To enter Imagine music, dance, illusion Tales of dust, of man in the moon The sea lady, snow, glass, apples It is stories that built cathedrals To lose yourself To find who you are Follow your tale, remember your name Enter the woods Tir Na Nog And bring back the good A pale beautiful theatre stage A feast of beautiful tragedy, wonderful fantasy The play is yours to write Yours to live Ready the night by a playwright

A cradle Earth, horizons unseen New world in thirst, for the arcane We are, singers of the gone We remember, as along came life A cradle Earth, horizons unseen Birth of one, and a zillion sideshows We are, we were and we will not be We remember, as along came acorn Another birth, another moss green New world in thirst, for the unseen An empty zoo, a starlight vigil Will have a visit, as along came heartbeat Another birth, another monster Endless forms, towards the stronger Menagerie, of a new world order We held our breath, as along came suffering We remember, father Pikaia Gave the way, as along came Sapien The cradle Earth, welcoming it’s newborn Aeons since that very first acorn Together now, in this timeless parade The living lie, dead afraid Then they saw the moon, and found caring We remember, as along came writing Such worlds were there, zoos dead again After all, we should’ve never appeared Spaceship Earth, through the fields of time They understood, as along came wisdom We have been here a while At the end of Pi, as along came harvest We will remember all the suffering We wrote this in a tongue you will understand Words and melodies with a touch of coloring We were there and will remember mankind Our kin Aeons ago

10000 tales for the curious kind Bazaar of heavens for a hive mind Abraham cut into three Man found gods and began to preach Suffering loves faythe loves suffering Smile to elders like a good doll Repent, accept, separate yourself Suck the aureate tongue Sing the praise of your creation Bride-prices, thought crimes, blind minds The Word hides vivid monsters To bed the tribal itch

I am the one you call the thief Universe, blank verse, crowded hearse I am a haven by an unseen stream I’ll sing the dawn in with you Now that you have a voice Earthbride amongst the carrion kind Walk with me to your sea Someone in the tomorrow Is waiting for me Someone to share the thief with Dust with a meaning Precious and rare I am the grass, the maggots and the dust I am the several endings The pain of the slow evil of an unsung life Decades, make them matter Myriad tales shall befall on you Before the evenballad of our stay Walk with me to your sea An unscarred land Unsung yarn Unborn child Await my touch, the luck of the draw Enter now Come Here is life Endlessness Soon, beyond the fields you’ve come to know You will join the silent flow Follow me, I am the spark At the end of everything Tip the reaper to ensure The blade is sharp As soon we’ll go Follow me into the dark To the birth of everything

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more” The quote is from Lord Byron’s “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage” poem
