Self-blessing

Posted on by

The 7-string pentatonic lyre is great for this original piece. Self-blessing is pentatonic anyway, so the tuning doesn’t need to be modified. Enjoy the melody played with Pickaso Rotary Bow.

#LyrePoem Triolet #3 Inner Space

When chaos spins around so fast,

It’s time to cleanse our inner space

In Light, the only thing that lasts,

When chaos spins around so fast.

With changes quick and options vast,

We still can choose a slower pace.

When chaos spins around so fast,

It’s time to cleanse our inner space.

Wash the Day Away #Meditation #HighSpiritsFlutes #Poem

Refrain:
Let the night enfold you.
Wash the day away.
Let the moonlight console you.
Wash the day away.

1. When you do not belong
And your weakness is strong;
When you feel like everything’s wrong,
Wash the day away.
Wash the day away.
Refrain

2. When the day lasts for years,
Bringing heartache and tears;
When the bad is all that appears,
Wash the day away.
Wash the day away.
Refrain:

3. When the pain takes control,
And it burns in your soul;
When you fear you can’t be bold,
Wash the day away.
Wash the day away.
