Harmony Green's blog! This blog highlights the music and poetic, liquid lyrics of Dan Fogelberg. I listen to a shuffled song on my iPod and write an inspired piece from that. The song is listed under 'labels' at the bottom of each entry. Enjoy!

The Collide of Souls
tomorrow morning as the sun rises
so do I
just like that fiery orb warming
from the sky
warm, I shall be as well
meeting with the hearts in which I dwell
my soul family
lives in Peoria, Illinois
we are a blend of eccentricities
with a soft center of love and joy
gathering to honor the Illinois boy
whose gifted wisdom we often employ
love when and who ya can
cry if it feels right
we are straddling the land of pretend
never look down when you are in flight
and....there is always a golden saving light
shining in the deep depths of the darkest night
tomorrow we will all converge
upon the little town on the river
to love and sing, our ills to purge
to give something back to our giver
of truth and peace and gentle warnings
my soul screams YES to tomorrow morning
cuz there is no way to say no... you see
from Texas, New Jersey or Ole Tennessee
from the county near and far and wide
these loving, loud souls will again collide
spilling love all over the place
they'll hear us sing in outer space
love when and who ya can
cry if it feels right
we are straddling the land of pretend
never look down when you are in flight
and....there is always a golden saving light
shining in the deep depths of the darkest night

The Country Air
inspiration
expiration
breathe it in
let it out
the country air
fills ours lungs and lives
soon
fly me to the place
where my tribe
greets me with arms
held high in the air
reaching to scoop me up
and hold on tight
lots of luscious lips
ready to kiss away a year
of boo boos
taking away the wicked
voodoo
that stalked us in the last
365 days
Our blended laughter....
cutting through and away the haze
as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the clarity of the country air
let me sit in the sun
with the ones I love
open hearts and open throats
singing dan so true and real
all night long
let the moon bathe us in her
peaceful glow
as we reconnect with each
kindred soul
that journeyed to this place
to once again know the grace
of just being
together
again
as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the freedom of the country air
beauty, love and peace abound
as we meet on newly hallowed ground
not a care or concern will be found
when the tribe is gathered with love all around
doris ann, we hold you so tightly
know that you are there with us nightly
as we sing and cry and gather soon
we will see your smile reflected in the moon
that hangs above us....our night light
watching over you as you continue the fight
for your own peace and serenity
you are not alone, you've got us...your family
as we breathe it all in
and let go our cares
wrapped up with our soul kin
in the comfort of the country air

The Center
Love won the day
at the end of
this day
BIG and bold and
sweet and soft
Not too long ago
it was hard
Now, we are healed
and honored
And once again
soft
Back at the start
we ran towards
Then away, so far
away
The spin of life
has brought us back around
We have met again
in the soft
middle
Thank you for the
travels
Thank you for the hard
Because it brought
us back
to the soft
center
Chocolate covered love
with a sweet soft
center
Now I understand what
I was craving
And now I know why I
will stay
Once you get to the
center....
you are home

he knew
Getting the band
back together
Under the lovely love of
our band leader
The man who bled
on the page
The man who spoke of
lovin lovely ladies
in his lyrics
The man whose soul
taught ours
To boldly be who
we are
Even if we did not know
till we got there....
To who we
are
he knew
The leader of the band
That brought us to
ourselves
Conducting behind his
daddy
So one day, he could lead
and be a conduit
guiding
us to our own
truth
he knew us
before
we
did

Just words?
http://www.twistedrootstudios.com |
Inner peace
Inner voice
Inner wisdom
Inner compass
Inner awareness
Outer space
Out of context
Out of my mind
Out of my comfort zone
Out of my scope of practice
Up and under
Upper echelon
Upper elevation
Up shit creek without a paddle
Uppers in a glass by my bedside
Lower vibration
Lower the boom
Lower your voice
Lower the shades, lover
Lower planes of existence
No reason
No message
No deep meaning
No deeper connection
No digging deep to find the answers
Just words
today
or are they
just
words?

The Depths of TIme....Invested
A friendship.....
built on similarities
As we learn to honor the
differences
Takes the toils, triumphs and
sometimes tantric teasings
of time
Thank you, kindred soul
for spending
your precious time
on me
I intend to become a fine
investment
One in which you have banked
your trust
your peace
your smile
your tears
I intend to grow a garden
of light and laughter
Sun and shadows
Brilliant beams of
golden
gleamings
The soothing synergy of
shade
Never fear
for
If we should encounter a
sudden storm
We shall see it through
together
In times of abundant sun
we shall flourish
And...where the sun warms the
soil
The seeds we have planted
Will BURST alive
Bearing the fragrant fruits of this
friendship we are growing
and building
Deep
in the depths
of invested time
In the warmth of our walk
together
Is the promise of perpetual
peace
You are my investment
and I.... yours
Time and sun and rain
our companions
Some souls may be lost at sea
along the journey's
treachery
But not so with you
and me
as we ride this ship
christened "FRIEND"

Golden Affliction
Relentless struggle
Cravin the gold
Needing more, wanting
all
The addiction.......
The affliction of
lack
Greed and gratitude in the same bed
do not rest
One lives in lust, the other
love
In the shadow of greed
nothing grows
Lusting after the
tangible tasty golden
granule
Killing, saving, panning
dying
Some prosper for all their
trying
Others are trampled in the
turmoil
Never to want or need
or crave or live
again
Casualties of greed
Murderers of grace and
gratitude
Dead as the promise
of fame and
fortune
Saddest truth?
In the hands of these
greed laden
hate mongers....
Was already what they sought
Already what they had lusted after
Already what they had
stolen
The land, the sky, the meadows
the springs
Golden glory in the palm
of their five fingered
hands
They never knew they
possessed such
gilded gifts
And so the cycle of greed
continued
As it does to this day
Look around you
Have you found your
fortune......
intangible
Let gratitude live today
Be grateful for the
moments gilded
and golden
Relentless struggle
Cravin the gold
Needing more, wanting
all
The addiction....
The affliction of
lack
Greed and gratitude in the same bed
do not rest
One lives in lust, the other
in love
In the shadow of greed
nothing grows

My Treasure
The crush of time
Pressure and patience
Married in a strange passion
play
Millions of minutes
Pressing down
Pushing us in directions
We may have never traveled
towards
Seeking that very thing
so valuable
Down deep in the caverns
and crevices
Where men crawl and
die in the dark
For all their seeking
What lies on top with us
now?
Is there no value on the
surface?
Must we wait for the wonders
of time?
Look at me.... now
I am here
You, are here
The sun is here
Grandmother moon here
Grandmother moon here
The mighty wind.............. here
The trees and the flowers
The rain
The mountains
The oceans
All of this wonder
here
NOW
The world on the surface
is valuable
We are valuable
now
Right now
Let time crush
Let passion play
with
pressure
and patience
I am on the surface
with you
We need not seek
We are found
This is my treasure
NOW

Turning.....
http://www.twistedrootstudios.com |
The innocence of
connected love
Where does it go?
Was it stolen in the dark
of night
While we slept?
Will we ever
know?
The transformation of
synergy
You stayed the same
you
And I became a different
me
How do we close the
gap?
Are we to bring the
edges together
again?
Is this chasm presented perhaps
beautiful open space
we created in the innocence
of truth turning?
Or just our past quickly
and fiercely burning
away
My truth turning me around
so many times....
Spinning, dizzy, full of wonder
at my again new world
As into deeper directions I am
continually hurled
You standing still in your
self
Fully realized as the day
our paths crossed
Content with your
status quo
Riding the free wind as into it your
captured cares are tossed
it's not that easy for me.....
anymore
And as the calling pulls at my
sometimes guilty soul
The innocence lies at such severe
risk
In the worrisome skies
the clouds... so darkened
I am running towards blue sky
eyes
As to me, they
hearken
It is my purest wish
That the death of innocence
Like the Phoenix, will birth a
life...new
One where I can be the
new me
And you can remain that
steadfast and true
You
Moving on, the past held in
honor high
As the future calls
We find only answers now
No need for questions
For there is no asking why
Just knowing.... innocence was once
ours
as our cloud occluded skies
clear.... revealing
the guidance of new stars

Rooted
A soul....
what is it?
Where is the
beginning?
Where.... the
end?
Are we the same souls
recycled
In reincarnated
reentry?
Do we burn up
on this
reentry sequence
Or burn out
on the
leaving?
Does it matter?
The inner me
recognizes
the inner you
From a place deep
within
A place so deep
yet so connected...so
rooted
My soul....
rooted to yours
somehow
How? I do not fully
understand
Why? Again, no answer
All I know is what
I know
What I feel
What I want to
explore
Does it matter
where it
was birthed
or how?
All that matters is that
we find ourselves
here....face to face
Soul to Soul
Now
Perhaps recycled
perhaps reentered....
Burning bold and brazen.....
bawdy
definitely...
Rooted

Dream Runner
That was you!
Running past me
in my dreams
For years, decades...
lifetimes
Never stopping or turning
to allow may gaze
upon your
face, familiar
I knew it would
be
An enigmatic angelic vision
Fluid flow... peace
Running
For years, decades....
lifetimes
You, there...always
Flying by, near
Never far
away
Watching.....guarding
Till the time...here
When you would return
my gaze
in a manifested moment
of sticky stillness
In the heat
and the love
That year, this decade
This lifetime
When our eyes spoke
clear... in the blue
safe sky they painted
I knew....
That year
Not realizing that I
had stopped dreaming
and you
had stopped...
running
This lifetime
I heard you call me
one night....
the softest angel whisper
in my
ear
A soft touch in the
hard night
A recall of your eyes
meeting mine
Clear and crisp..cool
in the heat
and... in that fleeting moment
of perfect peace
I stopped running
too
This year
This decade
This lifetime
This time...we sing that song
our souls know
Slow and so very sweet
Familiar.... I knew
it would be
We will
walk together through the
gardens and graves
of this lifetime
No more running
Hand in hand
Living in the purest
grace and
gratitude
A life birthed in
my dreams
because.... I know now....
That was you!

Sad Skies....Clearing
http://www.twistedrootstudios.com |
oh, the pain of life
we are stewed and steeped
in it
unable at some point to determine
where it began
why we allowed it
how to shed it
sad skies above her
leaving a lost life
leaving a lover
I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing
oh, the unfairness of life
why can we not just be us
easy and free
chains and challenges
weigh us down
whose chain, whose
challenge
where....is the key
we, our own key
the.... key
I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing
long ago I lived this similar
pain
in similar chains
with similar challenges
and I know deep in my soul
those sullen skies
so dark and heavy will
clear
the beauty of the blue
will return
on the day the clarity
is birthed...blue....
beautiful
I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing
here with a hand
to pull you up, lady
love
here, so close yet I can
not and will not offer rescue
you have asked me not
to
an even deeper truth is that
I shall not
for it will only hinder
you....
really
this.... the devil that keeps
me awake
late in the nighttime
darkness
I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing
clear, they will
after they become so dark
that the only place to go
is deeper inside
deeper than ever before
so deep that it takes you to the
beauty of the blue
that waits for you way
over there
on the other side
and I shall wear the rainbow
smile
created in the
reflection of the turmoiled tears
you will have shed
in your own
clearing
I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing

help......me......
Riding the raging river
Heading out to the vast sea
Head held just above water
The fight is killing me
Help me....I am sinking
I am trapped in a current
Heading to a place so viscous
and voracious
How can I survive this?
Help me...I am frightened
No one beside me
No one behind
No hope ahead
How do I gather the strength
To stay afloat?
Help me....I am too weak
Help me....I give up
Lift me
Breathe for me
Tell me
It is all gonna be ok
Help me
I can not do this by
myself
