Heart of a Man demo 2

Coal2

I dreamed last night I was on a mountain height
Then somewhere below my feet I saw a seed of light
And it grew into a tree up to the sky from earthen womb
With a fire in the branches that never consumes

In this life what is a man except a dying ember a coal for love to fan
A glowing seed in ashes rising from the tomb
With a fire in the branches that never consumes
A fire in the branches that never consumes

A Fire in the Branches

She woke up from a dream
Got out of bed; took her coffee with cream
She looked outside in silent awe
and disbelief in what she saw

And she said...I never noticed it before
And she said...you never know
What's waiting outside your door
By the dawning light she witnessed the birth of shadows

Light splits the dark 
Rising up in a spreading arc
Dark is the complement
It takes over where the light is spent
By the dawning light she witnessed the birth of shadows

Birth of Shadows

Some things are out in the open
Other ones are harder to see
Some of them belonging to neither
Dance the periphery

I'm drawn to that mystery shimmer
I hear the call of the deep
I long for that echoing glimmer
That happens on the edge of sleep

Where do we go between waking and dreaming
Where do we go I want to know
With your heart and your soul streaming
Out of view, out of view

They say I'm too old to ask all these questions
I know they're just jealous of me
I've never lost my sense of wonder
For what they think they've already seen

It feels like a call to communion
When you realize you know the tune
Of shadows singing out for reunion
Waiting in another room



Between Waking And Dreaming

She lie where she fell languid, somnolent
an aeon in the spiral passage
all too quickly each separate eternity
in her sojourn along the world pillar

Into a lower house choices and voices arise 
and emanate in ungodly splendor
these are the shadows we shrugged to take in
this beggar on the doorstep he has my face

I've been listening to each slow syllable of every backlit phrase
in this I find no shame
and of a thousand drab garden scenes one sentinel blossom remains
to gestate dreamlike...unhindered

Sentinel Blossom

The worlds on fire so they say
In the night and through the day
I have found without a doubt
It will burn 'til it burns out

In your heart the flames will stir
In your mind the wind will whir
In your gut the black abyss
On your lips the earth's sweet kiss

A path to find something to learn
If the world's on fire then let us burn
A thread to cut a key to turn
If the world's on fire then let us burn

The world's aflame a sacred spark
It begins and ends in the holy dark
So dance the fiery circuit now
Look inside and you'll know how

A bridge to cross a page to turn
If the world's on fire then let us burn
Taste and feel touch and yearn
If the world's on fire then let us burn

Let Us Burn

In the beginning
void without form
all proceeded from the holy black
the dark from which the light was born

And in the ending
an angel sounds the horn
all returns into the holy black
the dark from which the light was born

Holy Black

When you call my name
It's like the phoenix fans the flames
Ashes rising with the smoke
Conflagration to invoke
Pinions crackle fire sings
In your burning wings

Hold me in your burning wings

I call on you
From the fire's spiral view
Flames surrounding you and me
Rising up and setting free
As to you my soul it clings
In your burning wings

Hold me in your burning wings

And of the phoenix flames
Ashes are what still remains
We burn until we die
And from the ashes we arise...
