Solitude

Days that I remember by Keri Johnson

When I close my eyes 
and picture places we would go
walking thru the tender reed 
and catching tadpoles

Christmas was your favorite time
you made it feel like home
romping thru your favorite creek 
into your favorite swimming hole

Where do the flowers go in November?
why do the leaves have to change?

Where are the days that I remember?
Why does the heron fly away?

When we were small you were the fearless one
climbing the highest trees
jumping off the ramps with the boys 
unafraid of falling on your knees

I hear your footsteps run upon 
the streets where we once played
your smiling eyes and golden hair
burn thru the morning haze

Where do the flowers go in November?
why do the leaves have to change?

Where are the days that I remember?
Why does the heron fly away?

Days that I remember

Accident In F#

Let it go 
she said
let it go 
I walked away 
not gonna win that fight 
all those things I’m giving 
leaving life and love behind 
she’s got it all 
and nothings left for me to find 

Just let it go 
he said let it go 
step away again 
cause what’s the problem now 
you fight you’re on your own 
and 
where did it start 
and 
where does it end 
Those words are poison in my bones 

Let it go 
you said
let it go 
and 
You say I’m crazy 
Just stop trying 
Cause when I fight…you’ll say I’m lying 
         and you did 
Gonna let it go 
walk away 
let it go 
leave you to it 
just miss me with that mess
cause when you know 
you know 
then
you can let it go

I'll Walk Away Let It Go (amped)

'Coming And Going' is a fusion track inspired by the endless coming and going of the many birds and insects who both live in and visit my garden every day. Today is particularly lovely and the garden is simply alive with sounds....

Look Back

Dan-DT sent me this wonderful composition a few days before he published it. It went deep into my heart and I listen to it almost every day.

In the end, I couldn't help but interpret it with my guitar and try to add my thoughts and feelings to Dan's emotional and ingeniously beautiful description of Outside of time.

And since it fits so perfectly into our conversation about time, I asked Peter to try to reflect this thought with a few lines of poetry, which he did with unfailing finesse. ;)

Many thanks Dan for allowing me and Peter to interpret this superb musical journey. We are very grateful for your generosity, that you exist and share so many musical wonders with us all. ;)

Have a wonderful journey, outside of time. ;)

Outside of Time

I spin, and map the tracks of time,
Recalling of my many futures,
Scheming plans for all my pasts.
Flashed sequences of “now” enact a line
Limply held by memory sutures
To stitch a lifespan's ragged wound,…..while each imperfect “present” lasts.

But no such thing as “is”, just “was” and “will”
As history loops perpetual in spirals all of varied speed
A myriad of parallel, infinity-bound, the great design
Will miss their tryst as the pendulum continues still
And those that seek to quench their viral knowledge need
Will always be, but never fully found,…......until they step Outside of Time.

Outside Of Time - Dan-DT, Peter & Seagull
