Gathering Star Dust

Following the trail

left by the ancestors

the dust begins to settle

Stars are shooting by

I am left wondering why

Drifting up into the night sky

I channel the energy 

the consciousness of invisible

invincible spirits

and as I serve others

the energy makes its way

through my vessel

and I receive the benefits of it 

along with passing the benefits on

the blessings are so abundant 

they pile up and spill over

and I am gathering this 

star dust in my bones and blood

healing that which I was told

would never heal

eclipse

the rising moon

casts shadows

while crackling fire flames

are licking at the split wood 

stacked high 

preparing for a long night

she has mysteries

in her cells and 

a lunar eclipse 

opens up the heart

and lets in the light that darkness

only paused

for a few moments

now the deep purple sky 

illuminated by starlight

is a place she knows more about

then she knows herself

honesty and hunger

cascading down

onto the salty tides

water falling on water

waiting for 

nothing

and nothing standing 

in her way. 

Ready: New Chant lyrics

 the wind

the water

the center

the earth 

and the fire

(Repeat 5 lines twice)

Spirit, come here

we are ready

Spirit, come here 

we've been waiting

(Repeat 4 lines twice)

Creator be here now

we offer up prayer 

with all that we are

under the sky and breathing the air

Creator be here now

(Repeat 4 lines twice)

Create a melody to each part and sing it

altogether. Make it easy enough for many

folks to be able to sing along.

Grey into Black

Ocean throwing salty waves

like coins into a fountain

part of me 

split off and slipped 

into the abyss

while I held on

for dear life

so that others would not

have to grieve my loss

so early on

I chose to live for others

until I could live for myself

allowing the body to heal

comes naturally

Allowing the mind and heart 

to heal must be a conscious choice

my life bloomed with flowers

and flowed like a river

without grass or rocks

impeding its flow

the healing goddess

entered my system

and helped me function

movement of ocean

rivers, streams, lakes, waterfalls

rain falling

leaving rivulets

flowing down streets

grey into black

and there are ways to tell time

to mark the passage of time

but I wonder if nobody noticed it

would we float around in pure consciousness

and light?

would we love with less limitations

since we would not know it could end?

and at some point, along the way, we get free

allowing it all to unfold

with peace and 

unfettered transformations
