Roger's originals

my life on this planet is a spirit journey, what seed can I be that the future can harvest.

My spirit journey

endless list of things for which I'm grateful

I'm forever grateful

dialogue between a mother  and son  about leaving home making his way into adulthood; also applies to the emotions experienced by a  couple who separate.

More Than This

what we experience when love has died, why we`ve lost our connection with our spirit, and what we need to do to reclaim the love that`s lost.
Lyrics:
Here I make time for you, will you make time for me?
From deep in my heart I’ll share with you my mysteries
We’ll travel down the pathway of love’s embrace
We’ll notice how far we‘ve strayed from heaven’s gate

And what will we do when we discover that love has gone
And where will we go when we’re left alone again
Time will go on breaking hearts with its parting song
Time will go by leaving us here to mourn
Chorus:
And still we’ll wonder, wonder why our love has died
And still we’ll ponder the reasons why our hearts lay bare
Shattered and bleeding, betrayed and craving  
For what is not there and what will never be.

So I watched like a stranger as you walked away
Walked out the door leaving me my misery
Walked out of my heart without promise or hope
Left me wandering through my broken past.

Sad love song

reasons for living making meaning of my life, giving each other room to discover what it is the other one needs

My love for you

getting out of our heads and moving into our hearts

Sometimes the one you love is there for you to behold
And sometimes she's nowhere to be found
Sometimes loves throws you to the ground
when you thought she would always be there

Can We know love

how to change our past into a life we can wear with pride,
Courageously with grace we take a stand to fight the enemy
Old habits are difficult to set free and break the cycle of violence.

Seasons come and go changing nature and weather and mood


Seasons come and go

Friends like stones on a wave swept beach enter and leave our lives
Some are brought in close to the heart while some are whisked away
Some are light and move about while others, heavier still,  anchor and stay;

Some are drawn deep onto the heart’s shores and settle to gather moss
While other friends, like feathers- light, have journeys still, and meander out of sight.
Some friends are far and distant shores which heart waves never reach
While others settle in as boulders and become fixtures on our beach.

The love of friends we come to know when hardship strips our souls
When the tides of fortune pull away and wash our bones with clay
The ozone sparkles through our blood and draws the pain away
 Light becomes dark in the depths of the future we cannot see.

Friends come to us like autumn leaves to the ground
We know not when they will appear yet they suddenly abound
We know not who our hearts will touch with tenderness and hope
Yet we know that love is in the air and that charity surrounds.

Friends Abound

Celebrate our God

Let me raise you from your melancholic torpor
Pull the stake from your sorrowful heart
Together we will climb above our despair
And find the love we have never found

Together we'll be Liberated

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.
