They soar above clouds
Like birds, my heart, mind and soul
Are freed from chaos!

Our Nature #Poem
The writers of songs
And the makers of art,
The poetry’s poets
Seek beauty at heart.
We know who we are,
Or we’re trying to find
The meaning of life
And the Nature of mind.
The Mystics and Sages
Whose treasure is Light,
Discover the Truth
Of their Being inside.
It may take some time
To be noticed and heard;
Yet the seeker will find it,
The Light of the Word.
For the Word is your Spirit;
It’s not in a book.
You must journey within,
Not outside for a look.
Like the Mystics and Sages,
The artists and bards,
You’ll uncover the beauty
That dwells in your heart.
And this beautiful Nature
Is yours, free and clear,
When you claim the awareness
Right now and right here.
It’s your Light and your Treasure
That’s perfect and whole;
It’s the Truth of your Being
In heart, mind and soul!
Life’s Lost Meaning #Poem
What is obdurate?
Most don’t know
the meaning of the word.
Yet we live it
every time we are stubborn,
unshakable,
unwilling to listen,
not easily moved to compassion,
and when we demonstrate,
in thoughts, words or actions,
lack of empathy
toward another being.
We point fingers
at others,
because, of course,
they are the problem.
But perhaps
this word of unknown meaning
sucks the very meaning
from within our own lives…

Lullaby of the Ages #Song
An original lullaby for people of all ages, with lyre accompaniment.
Lyrics
1. I sing you, bring you
Safety and peace,
Believe and weave
Your sweetest dreams.
You sleep, I keep
You till you awaken
And see you be your
Wonderful things!
2. Your Spirit, hear It
Deep inside you,
And listen, glisten
In the Light.
You know It, show It
When you awaken
And see It, be It
Day and night!

In the Garden #Music
“In the Garden” is a much loved hymn, as I know from personal experience. It seems like one of those songs, hymns and Christmas carols in particular, that I was born knowing. I must have been so young when I first heard it, that the song is woven into the fiber of my childhood memory.
Although it’s a mystery when I learned the words, I vividly remember learning to play “In the Garden” on piano. It was a request from my uncle, Al, near the end of his battle with cancer. I not only learned the hymn, but recorded a cassette tape of myself playing it, along with other hymns. On our last trip to Connecticut from Pennsylvania, I was able to sing and play the song for uncle Al. It was a precious gift to him and is still a precious memory to me.
I hope you enjoy my zither arrangement of “In the Garden.” It was written by American songwriter C. Austin Miles in 1912 and is still very popular today.
A Freeing Friend #Poem
On the school bus we did ride,
Up and down, from side to side.
The apple of my eye was she;
I flourished in her company.
Ballet slippers? I couldn’t dance,
But that was of no consequence.
Jack and the Beanstalk was our tale;
Through endless dunes we blazed a trail.
And softer than a kitten’s nose,
The sawdust rose and fell and rose.
From home to school we made our tracks,
And then one day we made a pact:
To be best friends as long as time,
And she remains within my mind.
For she is me and I am she,
Imagination! Light and free!

The Fad Diet #Limerick #Poem
You could spend time and money on fads,
Feeling heartsick and lonely and sad… 😦
Till at last you realize,
To your shock and surprise:
What you needed, you already had! 🙂
Divine Sunrise #Writephoto #Song
1. The sunrise brings another day,
But mists of mind, they veil my way.
I look within and meditate
Upon the Great Eternal Flame.
2. The rising sun is in my mind,
And all the mists, I leave behind.
I seek within, that’s where I find
The rising sun, my Light Divine.
3. You rise the sun with each new day,
And all the mists You clear away.
And when I meditate and pray,
I know the Light is mine to stay.
O when I meditate and pray,
I know my Great Eternal Flame.

#Writephoto Prompt, Veiled.
I composed this music on my lyre named Sunny 🙂 after reading the prompt word, veiled, and Sue’s photo description. But the lyrics were spontaneous, and I transcribed them from the recording. This is something I’ve always wanted to do, to write a song in the moment. It is improvisation in a way, but different, because I wanted the lyrics to rhyme. Please let me know what you think of the piece and the process!
Thank you to each and every one who takes the time to listen and comment! I truly appreciate it and hope you are calmed and uplifted!
A Musing Musician
Through Summer and Autumn, all Winter and Spring,
I’m doing my dream job! I write, play and sing!
The movement of nature, from north to south pole,
Inspired by Spirit Rock keeps me in flow.
I can’t see the saffron or ivory hues,
But here in my mind creativity brews…
Where even a black hole of darkness conspires
To open my lion heart, fueling its fire!
A saxophone solo I cannot provide;
I’ve uke and guitar, plus a zither and lyre.
At peace when I meditate, hearing the Voice,
And praying reminds me I do have a choice.
I am living my dream! I’m the envy of some,
And I have everything but a steady income!
