Who Am I

I want to make love to every part of you

No one told me there were no guarantees to life
No one spelled out the challenges of children and a wife
Living's not easy when you're growing up on your own
Making love and sleeping out in the cold;
Sleeping out in the rain and growing old.
What's your story where do you come from
What can you tell me about right from wrong?

What's your Story?

instrumental improv track with electtric guitar, piano and drums

Morning-Jog

I don’t search for the glory the spotlight or  the fame
I don’t need you to even remember my name
Time will go on mending sad broken hearts
Healing will occur leaving sorrow behind.
Chorus:
Don’t let others persuade you that change is to fear
Don’t let silence prevent you from claiming your voice
Find the courage to stand tall when darkness appears 
Let your strength lead you to make the best choice.

The time for suffering belongs on the trash heap
It’s time to stop clinging onto what drags you down
It’s time to desire the freedom that turns life around
Change your horse in the middle of the stream-

For life’s journey is too short to spend it waiting
Life’s too short to spend it hesitating
Fill your cup with light and share it with the world
Find your voice and raise your flag unfurled.

Leave your sorrow behind

A Distance

persistence and tenacity as we age help us go through our life journey

Ella at 19 and going on

who is Creator, and how can we justify our belief in a higher power?

Is God our Super-Hero

When you come into my heart, and open the door to my soul
Can I be the voice you want to hear, will I fill your life with joy?

I write the songs for you, shape a message that is true,
A meaning clearly understood, so the light can dispel the dark.

When I sit quietly in my loneliness, will I discern the purpose of my life
Can I receive your gentle sweet caress, Who can I ask to fill the emptiness?

I wear my heart clearly on my sleeve, I forgive myself my shortcomings,
I like to think that what I conceive, will create a world that's forthcoming.

A life filled with Joy

Que je le veuille ou ne le veuille pas
Je suis prisonnier de mon passé
Lorsque je reflète sur qui je suis
C'est une histoire qui se répète

Je néglige pas de me faire connaitre
Porter mon coeur sur la manche,
Je tente de me faire valoir
Rendre service aux démunis

Les cercles tournent en ronds, sans début ni fin
Malgré les reves inachevés, j'me penche vers le futur
Plutot que de rester collé dans les aventures d'hier
Il faut se presser pour créer un avenir qui plaise
Un avenir qui plaise à qui que soit
Un avenir à l'aise pour toi et moi
Une vie qui remplis tous les vides
Une vie douce et placide;
Est-ce un reve inestimable 
Ou une réalité prévisible 
Qui mène vers i'imprévu ou l'inattendu?

On passe tout notre temps a plaire a qui que ce soit
Avec attention on navigue la route devant soi
Avec précaution on évite les conséquences
Des accidents qui parsèment notre route

Je me libère des chaines qui m'attachent au passé
Je me consacre moi-meme à ma vocation Divine,
Incertain du futur et de ce  qui m'attends demain
J'arrache toutes les racines qui sont devenus des chaines. (3)

Galactic Journey

choir representation of feelings in spring

Celebrating Spring-garden angels

The greatest gift of all is for those you love

To say beyond doubt  that they get you,

To stay around when doubt surrounds you,

To have your back with Divine help from above.

VERSE 1

When people listen their understanding deepens,

When people love you, their misgivings can weaken,

When you allow yourself to let your heart  be smitten

Only then can  understanding deepen.

VERSE 2

The finding of intimacy really  warms the heart

The release of indifference happens at the start

You open the door to a brighter beginning

Adding to the love which I’ll be bringing;
(to chorus) 

VERSE 3

 Love can only grow when our guards are down

The future will be brighter when love surrounds

Our doubts will lessen when abundance  abounds

Forgiveness will temper the bad that comes around.
(to chorus)


No Greater Gift than to be Understood

You can put Christ in a manger on a cold winters night

You can see him gathering strangers, fishermen and the like

You can laugh with him laughing circles around the Pharisee

You can see him walk the shoreline of the Galilee;


You can see Christ as a carpenter, placing spokes within a wheel

With a clear mind of perception learning all that this would yield

You can hear him talk at the temple on a saturday afternoon

Putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming around soon

Chorus:
You can put Christ in the alleys with the beggars and the thieves

 You can place him in a pulpit or the preachers's gallery,

You can frame him in a masterpiece with a halo for a crown

You can picture him in Calvary with his head hanging down,

You can put Christ in you heart 
when you’re ready for something new
putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming round soon

Repeat 
Putting the wheels into motion that’ll be coming round soon (bis)

Wheels in Motion

Spiral voices 

Chorus:
“Words like whispers in a circle  Building Spirals, moving  round , 
 in a cloud  of colour purple  Voices travel, up and down”
Still I wander through the gladness  Searching for a peace to find  
Slowly melts the inner madness  Touch the love that forever binds. 


Armed with strength I journey on  With a loved one by my side 
Fearing not what love will bring Trusting  faith will forever ring. 
Friendships grow and spirits fly  Chasing rainbows in the sky 
Stroking  love as it passes by  Catching hope as the treasured prize. 

Chorus:
“Words like whispers in a circle  Building Spirals, moving  round ,  
 in a cloud  of colour purple  Voices travel, up and down” (bis)

My three spirit helpers: Polar bear-strength and persistence, golden eagle-vision and wisdom, and monarch butterfly-flexibility-adaptability-mobility, tenacity. together they assist me in staying focused, directed, and single-minded.
My musical history dates back 65 years as I learned classical piano for 3 years from the age of 8, then developed my ear by listening to pop and rock songs on the radio and learning them on piano. It's not till I was 17 that I began playing with others in bands for a few years and performed locally. 
I started composing and singing and recording my songs when I turned 50, my mother was dying, she had been a chorist for 30 years, and i wanted to show her that I could sing a lovely love song before she passed at the age of 80 in 2005. I sang « L’important c’est la rose » de Becaud.
I've composed 145 songs and have 140 on Soundcloud for monetizing and distribution. 
I am semi-retired massage therapist and am making more time to compose and record.
The sculptures which I highlight in my song art are made by me from Alabaster.
