Recorded on my phone.  Sleight of light demo album track 1

Day slowly turns into moonlight
Bounded by stars

Lost in its stellar persuasion
Casting its charm

No matter how hard I try, I tried I tried
I didn't get too far 

Sunshine returns its story
Passing the time

Lend myself only for a moment 
Too find her gone

Another Time (oufit Book)

Words of Light (demo)

Sundried queen,
Eyes above,
Song of tongue,
Spoken light.

Change of heart,
Glimpse of you,
Eastern Star,
Gleam of truth.

Rainbow bridge,
Wisp of life,
Builders grave,
Daylight hides.
Silver spade,
Darkened nights.

Crown of salt,
Maidens tool,
King of Wands,
Phoenix plume.

Foolish sea,
Masters bell,
Lonely hymn,
Stone of youth.

Natures wings,
Golden veil,
Diggers tune,
Wooden nail.
Emerald charm,
Gods Affair.

Iv gotta wake up sometime
before I forget
I'm not who I am,
unless iv slept.

I know what it feels like to live 
(just hand me a pillow and lay me in a bed)

Before I Forget

Me n my lil sis

long story short I recorded this and lost half of it (which was originally the whole song)i magically got it back after already trying to attemt to record it a second take so i fused them and it came out well 

From Out the Outer

(made the song and lyrics basically about myself in a vision of a brighter life without drugs and is basically an inspirational/motivational  song to myself something to remind me that i'm in control. i was sober when i wrote this whole thing and remember feeling that the lyrics felt so right even tho i believe them to be a bit cheesy they just belonged..."youre loves alot like mine" refers to me comparing that the worlds gentle peace is alot like mine) 

Today's my day
im gonna find a way
to kick back by the river 
and waste my time away,
oh your loves a lot like mine

dont worry bout' the past
everything comes inside,
the more that you think 
that the good times wont last
oh, the more you will cry

if only, 
you knew...
how it feels so true
not to mention the greatest part
is that i'm apart of you

oh how it feels so true

Overtime/ Wait, Huh?

the last beautiful farewell track to this album. it was fun while it lasted. i truthfully feel like iv done it all to wrap around the concept and sound im going for in this. iv used every kitchen tool i can think of for the percussion which to me, is the most important part of the album that makes it what it is.  i kept this one simple to give it a personality of its own on the album along with its predecessor "language exchange" the song.  Though its short, i still feel like it packs a pretty good punch for the last track. Track 5\

sleight of light  demo album track 3. 

swirls of lesser intimate 
thoughts appearing thick or thin, 
gets you through the night again somehow

the moments arrived 
closer to you, closer to i

who do i turn to?
where can i look where can i find

I give my life to you girl
to only be taken as a fool
and i wonder where youll be
i wonder where youll go
through your sorrow
today or tomorrow

endless cycles cross your mind
questions circle, open rhyme   
gets you through the night again, somehow

the moments arrived
closer to you, closer to i

how can I trust you?
Where can i look where can i find.

Through The Night

It's been a long year.  Moments i'll never forget. My intention for this classic christmas tune arrangement was a slow, sad - yet, eventful jingle with mysterious tonal wonder and beauty with a joyful twist between expressions. it truly speaks for itself. Happy holidays everyone.
This is the first piece i've ever reharmonized before. I tried my best thank you so much.

Jingle Bells (Demo)

"Reality forever eludes us. Infinity mocks our puny efforts to imprison it in definition and dogma. Our most splendid realizations are only adumbrations of the Light. In his endeavors, man is but a mollusk seeking to encompass the ocean.

Yet man may not cease his struggle to find God. There is a yearning in his soul that will not let him rest, an urge that compels him to attempt the impossible, to attain the unattainable. He lifts feeble hands to grasp the stars and despite a million years of failure and millenniums of disappointment, the soul of man springs heavenward with even greater avidity than when the race was young.

He pursues, even though the flying ideal eternally slips from his embrace. Even though he never clasps the goddess of his dreams, he refuses to believe that she is a phantom. To him she is the only reality. He reaches upward and will not be content until the sword of Orion is in his hands, and glorious Arcturus glearns from his breast.

Man is Parsifal searching for the Sacred Cup; Sir Launfal adventuring for the Holy Grail. Life is a divine adventure, a splendid quest

Language falls. Words are mere cyphers, and who can read the riddle? These words we use, what are they but vain shadows of form and sense? We strive to clothe our highest thought with verbal trappings that our brother may see and understand; and when we would describe a saint he sees a demon; and when we would present a wise man he beholds a fool. "Fie upon you," he cries; "thou, too, art a fool." So wisdom drapes her truth with symbolism, and covers her insight with allegory. Creeds, rituals, poems are parables and symbols. The ignorant take them literally and build for themselves prison houses of words and with bitter speech and bitterer taunt denounce those who will not join them in the dungeon. Before the rapt vision of the seer, dogma and ceremony, legend and trope dissolve and fade, and he sees behind the fact the truth, behind the symbol the Reality.

Through the shadow shines ever the Perfect Light.

Down through the misty vistas of the ages rings a clarion declaration and although the very heavens echo to the reverberations, but few hear and fewer understand: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God."

Here then is the eternal paradox. The Word is lost yet it is ever with us. The light that illumines the distant horizon shines in our hearts. "Thou wouldist not seek me hadst thou not found me." We travel afar only to find that which we hunger for at home.

And as Victor Hugo says: "The thirst for the Infinite proves infinity."

That which we seek lives in our souls.

It is well. Blessed are the eyes that see, and the ears that hear, and the heart that understands."
