As we walked into Aberglasney
I felt the world in our hand
Colours of your soul in the leaf
Brings a new release

And wakes us from our sleep

In the walled garden 
New green leaves 
Be waiting
For their new souls

To come into their
Home to reveal
Their learnings from the past
A Bardo dream to remember
We help them to recall

And bring them from their sleep

In the walled garden 
New green leaves 
Be waiting
For their new souls

Dhan'yavada - 10 Soul Leaf

Evergreen:

Take in the time to
Feel the beaded dew
Rainbow meniscus

Many the feeling
Hangs here, infinite futures
Sparkle in each sunray

Emerald jewel laid beneath
Finding granite home to be
Seething spree
Undulating turquoise sea
Sail my thoughts to pastures free
Evergreen,
Evergreen

Evergreen

Came down to the river to collect my thoughts
In the rain down leaves
Upon the reeds
Along the bank
I see your need, will you be free
Now the rain down your window
Leaves a lonely trail
Freedom at the cost
Of a solitary trail
I see your need, will you be free
Now the sound of the ocean
Lives in your dream
Sound of the breeze on mountain stream
I couldn't heal you
Though I tried
Though how I tried

Alacrity's Wake

We weaved over the stones
Under Myddfai canopy trees
There would be no reason to leave
Breathe in the light through the leaves
Sunbeam down
I'll take you home
These thoughts I hold
Unsaid
Too late

And like that winding path I tried
To find a way to you
Sunbeam down
And like that shrew
These dreams of you
Reside in
Myddfai

Myddfai Shrew

Oh the storm does howl
And the wind does moan
Didn't mean to leave you
On your own
Didn't mean to leave you
All on your own

Now all I have
Are these photos of
All the good times
We once had
Didn't think I'd be this
Lone and sad

Call me bad
Call me mad
Didn't think I'd be this
Lone and sad

Call Me Bad

Low down
I've been mistaken
Torn down
This world I've been making
For you and me
Now I'm no longer free

Held down
By the ghost of
Our love
You know I've been aching
For you and me
I can no longer see

Oh when the light goes
Will you know
Your way back home
I'm just trying to get home

Trying To Get Home

I remember how
Sunbeams fell
On the rock pools of that January shore
I remember well
How you said
We are like these two shells

Will you keep
This one of the two
And I the other

I remember well
Castle grounds
Where I thought I'd found the one
To accompany
Me till the end
Both as a lover and a friend

And you held
One half of the dream
And I the other

Half

Oh she bore a crown of sage in her hair
For lament of one who loved her so fair
Tell the mourning raven your song

In the shade of Rowan canopy
A silent tear she feeds to the tree
Why her world he had to leave

Down cirrus trails
Messages cross the veil
Sends the raven to
The one you leave
So they can know

How you do feel

Tell the sun to hide among the glade
Tell the moon to bow before this tale
Tell the mourning raven this song

The Mourning Raven

In me a feeling
In you a yearning
I'll take away all your sad fear
When I'm under your wing
I learn to fly

Lend me your evening
Stay till the morning
I'll take away all your sad fear
When I'm under your wing
I learn to fly

Under Your Wing
