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!

Heavenly Body
Burned out, like shootin
stars
Shot across the expanse
far
from the rest of the world
We loved fast and
hard
Too hot too fast....
charred
As our orbit came to
a sudden end
It's cool, no one died
No reason to defend
Who we are and will
always be
Just keep your distance
from the spark of me
As I take off...shooting hot....
this heavenly body I was
born to be
Burning fast across the sky
Ain't no reason to get lost in
why
Or who or what or when
Every 200 years or so, I'll
pass by again
Comet with a tale to tell
You can say you knew me
well
For the short time life allowed
it so
My cosmic ride is calling,
I must go
Watch me shoot across the sky....

Feed The Heap
I dedicate this Danspiration to the dude who sang this song at the first concert in Peoria in August 2010. He ROCKED IT....such a difficult song to sing as Dan did...projecting so perfectly and belting it out. (turned out to be a deep dive on this one, perhaps he needs the vibe of this energy)
I remember the MC coming back on stage and saying something to the effect, that now this man could remove his truss and I burst out a laugh, the only one who laughed, I guess no one else go that joke! I still giggle when I think of that comment, I am doing it now!
If you don't know by now, then how should I?
Are my powers of knowing you stronger than your own?
NO!
Why would you hand me your power on a plate
half full of others leftovers?
Expecting me to take the plate from you
when you own only half?
Ain't gonna happen
Clean up your plate before you try to pass it to
ME!
I do not want what you don' t even know you carry
Get rid of it, release it
Let it go
There's a compost heap over there
feed the heap
feed yourself
Free yourself
I will wait

Wait, I'm Confused...
Love passes us by
Flitting fast like a bird
Caught in the wind....
struggling
Pain and process piercing
The armor we thought we had shed
when we said "I love you"
to another person
Flitting fast like a bird
Caught in the wind....
struggling
Illusions, deceptions, connections
severed
Promises dying in the ditches
of disassembled relationships
Pain and process piercing
The armor we thought we had shed
when we said "I love you"
to another person
It seems the person who needs those words
is me
Did I forget to love myself?
Confusion.....I see through you NOW
