Dedication

To the fools with their dreams

Charting paths beyond the sea

.

Nature

A Bit of Nature

Dogs can hear a higher tune

Cats can see without the moon

Whales can sing, across the seas

Dolphins bring, a smile to be

Diverse creatures, unique features

The library filled, with a bit of nature

A Part in the Zoo

Nothing much matters

Except what's in front of you

Anything else

A part in the zoo

An Imagined Tree

There once was a tree

Treasured about all others

It knew everything

From any dimension

The sap was sew

Bold, smooth, and strong

Hints of mead

Curing all wrongs

But it was cut down

The reasons were many

Illusions of mirrors

Derivative money

Now in myths or legends

No longer reality

Only imagination

Able to spark the seed

Being Like Trees

See the trees, so happy to be

Mostly the sun, for energy

A primal connection, original intention

Keeping aligned, a common reflection

Following crumbs, to close the gap

Finding strands, to escape the trap

A golden shield, to keep it real

Dark to light, start to feel

It might seem strange, to be expected

Twenty five times, expand perspectives

All of nature, companions in life

No more hiding, from the knife

Swimming with dolphins, singing with loons

Saying goodbye, to the curse of the moon

Lions and lambs, wander the land

Many more returning, balance in hand

No need to fight, but to simply stand

Strumming on your own, or with a band

Let your voice, ring loud and clear

Drown the noise, and start to hear

Caught and Thrown Back

When going out fishing, never know what you'll catch

Other dimensions, with a line you cast

Into the depths, far beyond your world

When you reel back, moments to know

Chorus

Start to feel a pull, the line is on the make

Next thing you know, swimming in the lake

How did this happen, what did I catch

Or should I say it caught me and threw back

Trying again, the first time lost

Will beat the trend, with a little more cost

A bigger pole, a bigger net

A bigger boat, let's see what we get

Chorus

One more time, with a friend that bet

I was full of it, all that I said

Brought a camera to tape, the tragic fate

Out goes the line, a splash to awake

Chorus

All broke and busted, but won the bet

Uploaded the film, all over the net

Some said a fake, doesn't prove a thing

But I still go out, for the song to sing

Chorus

Choosing Pets

Do you choose your pet

Or does it choose you

If you discover that

You are a fool

Energy Flows

As the sun sits alone, in the empty sky

Nobody can touch, no bother to hide

It seems like everything, nothing more than extended strings

Sometimes to connect, the bells to ring

Chorus

The energy flows, wherever you go

Alive or dead, row or float

Where it will end, you never will see

Maybe begin, a life for a tree

Up with the moon, a howling tune

A shooting star, hearing the loon

A silent scene, awaken the dream

Where it leads, never be tamed

Chorus

The days go by, into years and more

Getting so tired, crash on the floor

No more stalls, or trivial games

Illusion walls, insanely lame

Chorus

Evolving Once Again

The seas are calm, ripples yawn

The storm has just passed

Feel the sun, the golden one

Shining on the glass

That must break, steps to take

Your own path is told

What will it be, a long lost tree

Shattered is the mold

Growing new, nothing left to lose

Shame is a foreign word

Who's to blame, lose the name

Playing a different chord

From a place, barely a trace

Some call it nothing but lore

After awhile, no denial

The fruits that lay in store

Yours to pick, no more tricks

Fermenting over time

If too late, stronger the taste

You might end up blind

It's no matter, surface wither

Shedding another skin

In the end, spot the trend

Evolving once again

Fall to the Ground

Fall to the ground

What is found

Illusions everywhere

Convenient choices

Lots of noises

Crystals in the air

Fool Beyond the Moon

We're all human beings, our home is the earth

If you want, you can hide it, deny all your roots

You can try to divide it, a play on scarcity

In the end is a planet, stuck on a
