The Remedy 02:17
Be humble but strong Walk on the tightrope Seek danger/challenge You cannot fail – Know it – Move Use the phone, write letters Make a tape and send it everywhere FOCUS it is your gift No one else can take it Give it all you have Until you can’t and then Give more Seek no advice Listen to nothing but your heart Branch out, let them know you exist Someone does ! The effort bears the fruit 4 hours a day ! 6 hours a day ! Do it or die !

Lover of tears crying, rain trickling secret rocks Trees reaching away walls, rotting cliffs, Leaves, fear, ashes, earth Lover of music screaming discord In old forgotten caves I beyond recognition, i Weep the sharpened edge of my confessions Lover of fear, shuddering out flung arms Bleeding from flowers of self-denial where We lay naked in the night And did not love Far down the sea was turning sand The fog hanging ragged points The perilous narrow road The cast up starfish

« Let’s take the long way home » you said So we rode along the rocky way The water used to go Under to evergreen trees Down someplace where I can’t follow You cast your mind around, imaging ideas Dreaming of clear water “Take of your rings” you said And stay with me The flowers will remembered from this day And we’ll have a secret then Before they fade away About those tears that might have been For the love I’m in

I See Beauty 02:00
I see beauty that is not touched I see love that is not felt I see truth that is not spoken Someday it all shall return I see wisdom that is ignored I see legends that are not lived I see grace that is not wanted Someday this world will learn
