Green
Two masters listen intently to each other in pure delight. Their music demands your attention from the shear sensitivity of their interaction. Dark steel sea bends, rests. The voice of change. Within silence sound has a home, lifting upon spume, under wing of gull and cormorant, flight. And then falls as flutes, a velvet hammer. Sculpting the birth of time, painting the space, moving heart and whispering spells. Nets cast to catch the wayward dawn, to hold for a moment the wild and vicious day. And what remains upon a stained sky? What residue is hung Jewel-like upon check and lash? The colour green reminds me of the gods that left. Now, let us call them hither.
-
1. Green
Between the lines drawn in the sand
Hear softly the call
Turn your face towards the sun
Forget the grains of time passing -
2. Season
A continuous movement adding flavour
Turning churning stirring something new
Moving through lives barely noticed fragments
Simmering in this pot our enrichment
-
3. Cork Tree
Expands with fire
Keeps wine imprisoned
Drinks only sunlight and rain
Dances in its own delight
-
4. Paradiso
Enter a grey town
Turn a cobbled corner
A sudden image flashes
A memory jolted
Have I played here before?
-
5. Tranquility
Tried to find you amongst the screams
Were you hiding?
I looked in all the wrong places
You sat beside me all along
-
6. Warm Heart
Savours each moment
Tracing paths in time
Races with anxiety
Wards off darkness
Only has love
-
7. Fair Trade
What are we trading today?
Don’t use a proxy means of exchange
Step lightly on the bridge that joins us
This trade must be fair
-
8. Shinning Lights
Lying here on the beach looking up
Face turned towards the beyond
Aware of this spiral trajectory
A glistening essence touches me
-
9. Forever Faithful
Each time I arrive here, a new body
A new life, a new learning
Being separated from the ocean is pain
Trying always to be true
This is all I can do, over and over and over
-
10. Run with the Wind
A child of the land knows no bounds
No restrictions, no fear of fun
Run I say, run towards yourself
Feet not touching the ground
A sublime revelation is coming
