~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sprouted scent of growth
peeking through the snow
dancing languid sun
celebrate what's to come

Sanded trickled sky
flowers in your sigh
lated easy moon

Sayonara, still winter's cold
melted gray cold
bloom
Sayonara, tense bitter winds
no longer dim
bloom

Shining more brightly
and lightly the days last longer and mellow
forgiving at pace
listen for chirping 
observing that life starts waking and stirring
a blossoming sound

Flourishing gardens
the first ardent bumble bee buzzing tirelessly
past the trees
tiny closed buds are
opening leisurely catching sunshine
holding out their leaves

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Green In Blue (2023)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

misted, scatter the scent of fallen thoughts
memory
let me

forget, all of the silhouetted stars
praying towards open sky
over moon


pastel cherry tree
petals softly
decorate the air


distant cooing sung by a mourning dove
tenderly
pleading

glisten, dipping my hands into a stream
kneeling below open sky
under sun

reaching further into a diamond brook
running cool
through me

gloomy forest of black and white
dreaming beckons out to me
under moon


pastel cherry tree
petals softly
decorate the air

how this current flows
thawing winter snow
if the winds could speak


blinking, is it the butterfly or me?
back and forth
between

sleeping slowly I stand up on my feet
gazing below to the ground
over moon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cocoon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twisting splinter
sink into my heart, into my coffin
don't hold back
show me light

Dracula in the day
burn, turn into ash, turn into clay
don't be scared
face the light

Never ending digging in my side
slowly trickle until it runs dry
sand by sand
drop by drop

Counting backwards from the edge of ten
reincarnation? no, not again!
falling through green and blue

Molded ivy slithers
guarding a story
ravens scavenge death

Shadow is surrounding
what was that movement...?
secondary presence

Never ending digging in my side
slowly trickle until it runs dry
sand by sand 
drop by drop

Counting backwards from the edge of ten
reincarnation?  no, not again!
falling through green and blue

Cycle blankly waiting hammer drop
heavy chamber carry the wish shot
can you hear drawing near..?

Counting backwards from the age of sin
reincarnation? no, not again!
falling through green and blue 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More Green and More Blue

IntakeCreditSong

This song was made to be the complete opposite from what I usually play with my band, It was finally nice to get that sound out there :>

Aura - old version

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Himawari, hued indigo
Himawari, monochrome and
Swaying,
Weaving,
Patiently being.
And through a thunderstorm, you smile the sun
And Mrs. Himawari, grow old.

Himawari, through the night
Himawari, without my sight
Blinded,
Crippled,
Confusing brittle,
And through the longest dark, you smile the sun
And Mrs. Himawari, thank you

~~Like an evaporating rain before it splashes on grass, MattandtheJays diffuses before noticed and leaves behind a trace of wonder and longing~~
