Recollecting on the subtle connections and fluid nature of the dance. Reliving the emotions and sensations that ensued on the dance floor. Recognising our true nature through dance.

Song Lyrics:

When I’m alone in my room
I remember how we danced
To that morning tune
We were whirling and swirling
And light on our feet
Lightly entwining
In a way where we could truly meet

I could feel you near me
The way that you moved me
We moved as one body
Feeling so wondrous
Frozen in time
A rhythm familiar
Fitting so well with mine

I’ve been waiting for this chance
To feel the rhythm through the floor
Hear that melody once more
Now I’m rising to the beat
In a continuous flow
Pulsating rhythms 
Giving me the moment to let go

I can feel you near me
The way that you moved me
We moved as one body
Feeling connected
In your dance and mine
Lighting me up and
Energising me to the core
How could I ask for 
Anything more
How could I hold on
To something so golden
And pure

I was moving so freely and
Feeling so sure
Like a rhythmic being
Unencumbered 
On the dance floor
Lighting the way for
You to move through me
And me to move through you now
How could I ask for
Anything more
How could I hold on
To something so golden
And pure

There came a time when we moved on
And as quickly as it came
This connection it was gone
But the joy of it lingered
Well it lingered on
Lighting me up and
Energising me to the core
How could I ask for
Anything more

Move

MOVE

We stayed apart
For all those years
Memories
Keeping us
Together                

After the fall
We found ourselves
Here again
Together 
Or not at all

Now that its all over
Our weeping and rejoicing
Are being swept up 
In a hurricane of 
Disbelieving
No hope on the horizon
To nullify this tragedy
A cold dark uncertainty
     
I know my deepest
Known of knowns
Will wipe the slate clean
Settling nowhere
To be free no more
Everything just came and went
Just like we said it would                  
 
Finally to sit and view 
Deserted landscapes
With nothing left to do
Unable to regret
A curtain of promises
The mystery 
The alchemy
Our marvellous creations

Are standing motionless
As mountains
Where trails are defining
The plight of our nations 

Old, withering away
It’s been told
Now the story’s 
On display  
Soothingly
Effortlessly 
Moving me
Excited in the play
 

Where is the life           
Existence                
Identity                    
A final saving grace
Where is the face       
Of eternity

Together

A classical ballad reminiscing on enjoyable hikes in the hills of far away lands. Connecting with the beauty and stillness of the land and savouring each moment of the journey.

Song Lyrics:

There’s a softness in my face
Now that I’ve found this place

I know this tree
In a space with a view
With a wisp of a breeze
Under the wide shelter
Of the leaves

I made this trail
All the way up here
Slowly day by day
Higher and higher away

I told no one
So no none came
On my secret trail
That rises from the plains

From the village to high above
Where I found my secret love

From a cliff to a cave
On a path unravelling
Through a wind in the vale
That makes the lemon grass dance

Finally
I found my heart again
Slowly day by day
Higher and higher away

I came to rest
On the crest of a hill
I could touch the sky
And survey a worldly view

Embracing it all
As the sun began to fall

Descending on back
And winding on through
Thickets and fields
Down to the path
And along 
The worn out road

A reluctance to
Join the world again
After such a glorious day
Of love, adventure and play

There’s a joyous secret
Out there in the wilderness
That I have to hide
So I’ll keep it all inside

Finally I found
I found my heart again

Piano solo in a contemporary classical style.

Recovery Suite

A soft, confessional, slightly melancholic, romantic ballad created from the original poem.  

Song Lyrics:

It’s the sight and sound of something new           
Delighted by and warming to               
The day was long 
And the future seemed bright     
The impossible was attained tonight

Here is a song that I used to know
It stays with me on the winding road               
I ran so far
It was hard and fast
Breaking free from a clouded past

Arriving strange in stranger’s land
Feeling the warmth of a helping hand
I heard a voice that carried me away
Wandering lanes so far away

Let’s linger under a shady tree
Sway, sway, sway with me              
Now is the time
It may come no more
Something awaits on the further shore

The thunder came as the seas rolled on
A stranger’s days had come and gone
Looking back from the further shore
I lived a dream that would come no more

I settled down as a fury raged
Slow to the touch of a world so changed
The day is short and the future’s not clear
But I’m home again in the light of another year
