Fan Clubbed

 

 

 

She don't want friends
She wants fans
And fanfares that know no end
From divine wandering heavenly bands
of angels on gilded whispering wing
Who flutter above her holiness
Tethered to the twisted truth she sings
She collects souls to quell her loneliness

Never listening to one damn thing
Others share, it's all about her
You, she's locked in the caged ring
Soon you will undoubtedly concur

You, the only fan of a falling star
No longer able to carry her own picture
From your self, so very far
She is your soul's constrictor

Careful who you idolize
There is a deep daunting danger
In the spin of her color wheel eyes
She is a matter re-arranger
She seems to have you hypnotized
To yourself you shall become a stranger

Rearranging what matters to you
She steals the life you know
You...standing alone, aptly cast as the fool
She...moved on, collecting another soul

She will win the golden statue again
You, supporting actor, have lost
You gave into your deepest sin
She took you for free, you paid the cost

Grow An Escape

Two steps forward
four steps back
Dancing with the devil
alive only in your
own head
The cage is only empty
when you leave
it
fully
Your inner devil gets off
on your
allowance
of deep lack

Heart so hard and cold
Makes a lovely paperweight
Controlling the future
Eating the past
Constricting any movement
now
Seeking peace in a place
so full of noise
With your frozen freedom you
maniacally masturbate

As the devil laughs and lurks
in your deepest soul spaces
He ain't real....there are no horns of
flaming red
Get off the market scale
Return to the deep and delicious
soil of your soul garden
Grow an escape from your darkly
romanced cages

Devil loses, freedom wins
In a gamble of fury and fate
No chains, no keys turning and
clicking in the lock
There is no cage, no key,
no clock
Time stands still for you
It is never too late

Just push a bit on the forged iron
door
There is no devil standing sentry
Once the space presents as the door
opens
A decision is made in a moment
golden
Before you know it, when you turn
your gaze around
You will be standing in your
garden green
You will be free!!

Strings Silenced Suddenly

Spotlight cracks the deep darkness
Orchestral soul song rises
Ballet begins
He lifts her into the waiting air between them
and holds her there, motionless...beautifully still
Breaking the silence...he slides her down his body....slowly
Seductively
The audience takes in a collective heavy breath
Releasing it as he releases her
She spins away as they watch with great anticiaption
Eyes fixed on her perfect flowing form
And as she turns to greet his gaze
She finds him not.....he has disappeared
Searching the stage, her eyes do not rest upon his
Waiting in the wings, he is.. perhaps
He has changed the cadence of the deep dance they knew
He has flown away
And now the stage will grace their union no more
The dance is done
The audience retreats
The orchestra now only strings silenced....suddenly
The spotlight no longer lights their way
Left without her partner..she gives in to her only real choice
Her heart has said goodbye to him
tonight

Cage Free

Empty the spaces that caged me...
the part of my brain that keeps me a prisoner
in my own life
I allow the empty

I am free
No cage can contain me
or hold me
There is no cage

I am raised cage free
Roaming freely
I can not be contained
I shall no longer contain myself

I am un-contained!
Free of the cage of self
or the cage of society
Cage free

There is no cage
I am free
I roam
I am
me
I am
roamin
Free I am
There is no cage

Wings

A cage was emptied today
and a soul was freed
Free to be free, truly free
Wings in motion, finally

Weightless now, limitless
Tightly bound wings.... or arms as we call them
get heavy
Now there's sweet relief.. burst suddenly free
like a busted levy

Flowing wildly in waters raging
Our soul is again young, ending its aging
Renewed, re-purposed, re-born some day
Not too soon, she needs her rest
Taking the human route sure is the long way

Or maybe just the wrong way....

Devils at your Heels...

Doubting our instincts, doubting our intuition, doubting our inner wisdom.
It is difficult to live a life motivated by our inner truth, especially in a world that distracts us and tells us we are wrong at almost every turn, every interaction.
Please know,  all that really matters are your instincts, your intuition and your inner truth.
Why would we have access to these parts of our selves if they were not necessary?
The day you realize you carry the answers to all the questions about yourself, your life, your path and your purpose is the day you truly begin to live.

Turn Around

Dan speaks often in many of his songs about finding the answers behind us. I so agree with this and I have seen in my own life that I only needed to look at my past to see my present and my future. Since the reality is that everything is happening NOW, time as we think we know it and the concept of past, present and future is false. It is just that our brains can not fully accept that truth...yet. Some day in the not too distant future, we will begin to honor time for what it truly is.......whatever we want it to be.

So, today.....if you are struggling with a situation or a decision......look behind you, study what has come before this moment, allow the true reality of time to teach you, that all there is is NOW. And, since there is no better time than NOW to begin.............begin, my friend. Begin whatever you wish to begin.....NOW.
