Summerside

Put your camera away
As darkness falls again
Take a fieldtrip to the fields of Summerside
Summerside
You'll know the sea is near
Salt is in the air
And even from the fields you'll hear
Breakers on the strand
Set your cold devices down
Feel the sand
Take a fieldtrip to the fields of Summerside
Take a vow
To be here now

Far beyond the language of sign
It's a whole new way to see
Under a clear sky you cry
No clouds to ponder,
Now you cannot prophesy
Oh, Cloud Visionary
What do you see?
The secret knowledge slate is blank
Tell us, is life a cruel prank
Please share what's in your mind
Oh Child, please be kind
Oh, Cloud Visionary
What do you see?
Speak to me child
Tell me what you see
Speak to me child
Tell me what you see
The world of zeros and ones
We know that it's not real
So look now to the sky for us
Its secrets to reveal
Oh Child, enlighten us
For the maze of clouds does frighten us
Now let us pick your brain
Oh Child, please be sane
Oh Child Cloud Visionary
What do you see?
Child Cloud Visionary
What do you see?...

The sacred poems are not written down
They're uttered by me with a fuzzy-buzz sound
Let's don't waste time with language-y things
My digery-doo-lee-o charms as it sings
I clear my throat to clear your mind
With a musical note of a windy-ish kind
The note that I play is higher than C
The note that I play is lower than E
Aloka in the yard
Practices so hard
Aloka in a tent
In his element
Stand on a stump in the yard in the back
I'll be a giant mosquito and I'll suck out the black
Closing your eyes makes in invisible
Closing your mind makes it ishkabibble
Aloka's jungle breeze
frees your mind disease
Thee antithesis
Of mental Achilles
Every human being has the bomb of Devine love inside

Sandy Diamond
Where are you going
With that light in your hand
At this hour
Sandy Diamond
The season's not right
And it's far too dark
To plant your flower
Guess I'm goin'
To yon forest
Gonna find a tall, tall tree
With a strong limb
Guess I'm goin'
Away up there
A vision will come to me
I'll sing my own hymn
Sandy Diamond
What you gonna see
And what you gonna sing
From the sky
Guess we'll know
You and me both
When I do what I do
So please stand by
I'll do what I do
So please stand by
Sandy Diamond
Sandy Diamond...

Welcome to my Guest House
I am a human being
The Guest House is me
Every morning a new arrival
A momentary awareness comes
Unexpectedly
A visitor for me
Maybe an upset
Maybe a joy
Maybe a meanness back again
Welcome them all and entertain them
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows
Who violently sweep your house
Treat each guest with honor
He may be clearing you out for some new delight
The dark thought
The shame
The malice
Be grateful for whatever comes
Meet them at the door laughing
Invite them in
Each has been sent as a guide from beyond

The Unseen World
05:35
|

I've been looking for the unseen world
Another world that is right here where we are
But even lookin when my eyes are closed
That world remains elusive
Something's in my way
Something's in my way
I've been listening for the unheard sound
Another voice saying what we cannot say
But even listening in my silent room
That sound remains elusive
This world is too loud
This world is too loud
If I thirst for the ultimate
Can I be ready for what pours from the spring
And if I ask for what I need
Will it be too marvelous
Too marvelous to hear
Too marvelous to see
As much as a pen knows what it is writing
As much as a car knows where it is driving to
As much as a ball can guess its direction
Nothing's like I thought it would be
I've been looking for the unseen world
Another way of being right here where we are
But even looking when my eyes are closed
That world remains elusive
Let me find the joy
Let me find the joy

Lillian Says
The realm I've been living of
Dilettante
Is not alight in real love
Lillian's still
Struggling to be untainted
Scenery hushed
as if she were being painted
Lillian dreams a river named for her
Flows through eventide
Green grows the rush of her desire
Lillian cries
Lillian goes
Unfolding conscious vessel
Ascending lone
Toward the spiraling trestle
Lillian's head
Gaping with recension
Eye sockets cold
Chill wind of apprehension
Lillian dreams a river named for her
Dries and disappears
Obscure and quiet
Lillian dreams alive
Nothingness floods with real love
Always incomplete,
Tender and bold

Superstar Azan
Young phenomenon
Run a marathon
Down the Rubicon
Brain-child icon
Divide the upsilon
Create the lexicon
For your eschelon
Celestial Orchestrations Hypnotize
Black-border John
Keep your trousers on
Oh, so despond
Worshiping demimonde
Lone vagabond
Found Avalon
Not far beyond
Saskatchewan
Solar Music Science on the Rise
Lady Yvonne
Wearing Chiffon
Visit south Aswan
Far across the pond
My myrmidon
Please do respond
Bring my bon bon
From table yon
What's that you don?
Your wig of blonde
Now wave your magic wand
Of you now we are fond
Music of the Spheres is in Disguise
Scientific Magical Surprise

I believe in flowers
And bowls of ripened fruit
I believe in living dust
In the pocket of my suit
And I believe that trees know me
And I know them
Every soul lives in the garden
Each of them a gem
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
I believe in colours
Especially in green
And I believe in music notes
Couldn't count the ones I've seen
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
I believe in magic love
