Ignite

Rely on this, put on that hat
It will make you taller, look at that
Face the moon on certain nights
The clearing is coming with great might

It’s time to be alone but with trunks
Holding up the branches, clearing funks
Time to dance beside the sea
Let the messages come and find me

Dropping away from familiar
Taking another step, not so similar
The boat rocks but there’s a railing
You feel it inside, so keep sailing

The nights feel long and lacking
Longing for substance with less cracking
The days change shape often
Bringing less odours smelling of rotten

I hate to say you may be right
That staying here will be a bit tight
To loosen and expand is honest
Extracting what you can, keeping a promise

The quiet fog sits and speaks
A murky voice with hidden squeaks
The mist exists to cover the shine
Which finds me, always just fine

How to teach me how to know
Keep coming and making a show
There’s too much now of both sides
To see so clearly what now resides

Inside my heart and my mind
A match and a log ready to bind
Ignite the fire that’s ready to burn
When the time is right, we’ll have our turn

Sweat Price Tag

Let me sell you my sweat
If you only knew the price
You’d need to buy a valley too
To hold it all and own all the rights

Do you feel better now?
Sitting on the porch sipping gin
Watching the sunset, alone
I know you’re thinking about your sin

As the air stares at you in thick
What’s behind you is not the truth
Carrying forward today the clips
Of a new reality is all the needed proof

It’s quiet and you’re strong
The landscape mimics your mind
The vast empty space, endless direction
It holds you still, steady and kind

Let me sell you my thoughts
You’ve paid a lot and here you are
No debt, no regret, no fret
The darkness is gone, you’re lit like a star

There is always room for your gaze
You do this for you and it’s prepaid
Because the timing is right
The message is clear, that you’ve been saved

The last time you sat and stared
The sky wasn’t this big
The sun wasn’t this bright
The water, boy you really had to dig

But look, now it flows and it shows
The pressure lives somewhere else
The mountains are with you
They gave what you needed, look at your delts

You let the silence treat your wounds
I watch as the fainting sound sews the gash
It’s beautiful, you reach so deep
Laying back and feeling this, what a bash

Whispering the wind does, let’s hear it
The numbers don’t stop, over and over
The colour of your grin sends the cattle into battle
As they run you’re calm, a slow stalling motor

It’s coming easy peasy, and so very breezy
Taking off your shirt, sweat is running
All the many beads are enough 
To fill the valley. Our sweat, is stunning.

Always Be

There will always be a wave
It is safe to move
Along the lines
Just groove

There will always be a first
It is always the right
Thing to listen
Just breathe

There will always be sound
It is the volume meter
That matters most
Just turn

There will always be impulse
It is knowledge over
Action to take
Just wait

There will always be speed
It is the colour of
The pace inside
Just bleed

There will always be fluff
It is important to keep
Focus on less
Just leave

There will always be vibration
It is the energy that sets
The tone and frequency
Just raise

There will always be luck
It is hanging and waiting
To throw you shoes
Just walk

There will always be life
It is here today
To allow tomorrow
Just love

There will always be crashes
It is collision proof
Inside your mind
Just build

There will always be games
It is the right to play
By one’s own rules
Just aim

There will always be resistance
It is ok to surrender
To the forces
Just watch

There will always be messages
It is written in blood
Open your eyes
Just trust

There will always be gifts
It is beauty to receive
With gratitude and grace
Just accept

There will always be stones
It is a shame to throw
Them all at once
Just hold

There will always be stars
It is the only guide to
Ride beside now
Just gaze

There will always be someone
It is not without you and me
That we can create
Just share

There will always be walls
It is the height and the type
That determines breakage
Just lean

There will always be mistakes
It is necessary to make
And to disappoint
Just learn

There will always be hope
It is safe to believe
In miracles, in magic
Just be
