Mozi's Nigun  (Learning Track) Joey Weisenberg

By the waters of babylon
by Joey Weisenberg

By the waters of Babylon
We laid our lyres down
Laid our lyres down
Sat and cried

By the waters of Babylon
Never sang our sacred songs
Sang no sacred songs
Tongues were tied

Twine Nigun

Artist: Ayla Nereo

Sung at a (mini) song circle on December 11, 2018 on Chinook land/Portland, OR.

I feel the winds of the west, outbreath
Letting go of my leaves, all I do not need
Into the darkness of the fall sunset
I release, receive, getting ready for the 
Silence

translation: 

new life.

Your 
Wide sweet eyes 
Fresh plucked from eternity 
Ready hungry 
pouring trust like syrup over tired hearts 
a sprinkling of joy like spring rain steeped in the scent of fresh light 
you are right on time
right when you're needed most 
and I am listening
palms pressing prayers through trembling lips
may these drying bones bend low enough 
to kiss this earth gently enough 
to be received at the altar 
of what you've come here to teach.
