Anima ─ Lyrics
With eyes keen like a hawk, moonlight on her face She whispers softly into the darkness where idle minds rest Awakened in the dawn of consciousness
Once there was a lady with knowledge of the land Who’d gather herbs and berries with a dexterous hand And take her basket home, climb to the top of the hill A custom passed on with persevering skill
When she cries it starts to rain The cleansing comfort calms her down She’s honoring her cycles as they wax and wane Infinite change turns round and round
Listening with her intuition, she seeks solace and solitude Creativeness comes to fruition, she’s a goddess of the moon
Once there was a lady who was often giving birth But not just to a baby, to her creative work Her paintings seduce you between the silver frames It’s not hard to see how she heals her pain
Once there was a lady with grace like a hummingbird Attracting nectar’s sweetness, poetry to her words She floats in the air, over a blossoming flower The alchemy of spring fairy’s power
When she joyful she illuminates like a solar flare burning bright Her agile movements dare to captivate Never doubt she’s a source of light
Listening with her intuition, she seeks solace and solitude Creativeness come to fruition, she’s a goddess of the moon
Maiden with blossoms flourishing Young neophyte with passions ripening Maternal queen gives all she can give Renew your reservoir, that’s overflowing
Crone floats into a shadowy winter’s night Reaching closer to the other side of life A waning woman with wiser ways Embraces the season of death and decay
Fluid transitions, she is like a sinuous tide Ever-changing rhythm of a lunar archetype Fuscia flames spiral in her electrical breeze In cold mountains and rivers is still her story
Artist Teacher Mother Healer Priestess Lover
Venus enraptured like an astral astronaut She inspired with the creative spark Shimmering blue lights trace figure eights In the glimmer of a dancer’s heart
Artist Teacher Mother Healer Priestess Lover
I could talk to you about anything You were the root of our family Drawings and letters in my treasure chest Images of you, I’ll never lay to rest You were the guardian of all my secrets Teaching through action, never to judge Acceptance was your common nature You were one I could really trust
Even though now you’re on the other side I still meet you in my dreams I feel your essence when I touch the ground It brings to life vivid memories
Swimming while you were watching on the shore Many mornings there was laughter we shared Sad sometimes, I’ll see you no more I try to let go remembering how you cared
In my heart you’re in a sacred place Our connection moves through time and space Whenever I sing the De Colores song It takes me back to you who was stubborn but strong
You cultivated fertile stability The foundation I learned from now grows inside of me Solid and steady, my grandma tree woman Planted in your garden is earth wisdom
Strong protector with a shield you would hold Wrapped in a vortex of glowing light I heard you talking of being happy to grow old Your soul carries on, giving me a sign
Even though now you’re on the other side In another dimension your spirit flies I feel your essence when I touch the ground From the dead transform into new life
Nightshade, mugwort, mandrake Garnet, smokey quartz, obsidian Nature’s offerings in the shadow time Where other worlds exist side by side
Ancestors, spirits guides Pierce through thin veils on magic Sabbats Night Figurines are seen and sensed Passing through portals with no beginning and no end
This cross-quarter honors the deceased So enchanting are hidden mysteries In darkness dwells, a cave of introspection Watch the spider weave webs of interconnection
I hear a buzzing this bee is spinning disks Rectus abdominus, let’s get on with this Finished with tricky tricky, ask me how I aim or how I measure sane Grounded to the stars, illusions, Bach to blame
Seagulls soar in iron ore Teach me teach me teach me what you most need to learn Coyote Coyote here’s what I’ve gotta show you I’ve always known you, a familiar stranger Are you afraid there’s danger in the craft of trying to tame her?
Wildcat is on your back Scratching on trapezius, can you take a risk? Tricky tricky is how we spin the disk Hold and stretch my solar plexus You inspire me to move into my nexus Of extreme equilibrium and you under my skin
Dancing divas, dancing feather All dance together
Hold and stretch my solar plexus You inspire me to move into my nexus Of extreme equilibrium And you under my skin
A warm glowing presence you radiate Silent hands are the best way you communicate Although your thoughts are like a hurricane off in the distance I’ll be right here slow down, let go of time, no more resistance
Your loving eyes are soft and gentle Reflective memories, you’re sentimental I’m not looking back and not too far ahead In this moment with you I’d rather be instead
This is all that we really have, in this moment
Your charming smile is like a magnet, it draws me in You catch my drift of sandalwood and jasmine We join as one mind, telepathic intercourse Only imagination stirs the inner thunderstorm
You’ve taken to be my precious touchstone This allows me to see we’re together all alone I’m not looking back and not too far ahead In this moment with you I’d rather be instead
It’s so easy to live clinging to the past, projecting the future When we embrace where we are, the present we will nurture Slowly we move into clearing, calmer weather Blowing the clouds of illusion, we’ll see the truth together
This is all that we really have, in this moment
Flying through your walls on x-ray eyes I read your cues over the lucid dream line Secret story I watch the moves you make Turning in the twilight trying not to escape
Entangling webs of your confusion Familiar in the high flown grandiose delusion Living so long in seclusion
I would not deny I see your frozen wounds Reach for warm affection melt your glacier gloom The heaviness from your past quite often reveals You’re riding repercussions on your karma wheel
Seeking to cross over your attachments Wondering what would be left when you give it all up Drowning yourself in fluid abstractions Wondering if the psychic storm will be overcome
The fortress of façade is fading slowly The layers without love is all that is eroding But not afraid when you’re not knowing
I release this astral link and clinging codependence Still you’re making your presence known from across this continent Complete we can be even on our own Still this drama dynamic is slow to outgrow
It goes back to the childhood storybook The myth and icon of the big bad wolf It goes back to the scientific view An objective, far-removed, detached attitude
We need to hold compassion to empathize For creatures who struggle only to survive
Colonial mentality sought to dominate The way we were to treat them was to alienate Their carcasses now litter the path of prowling fear Where will we make room for them with no more wild frontier?
This can’t be resolved with biology alone It’s unconditional love that always takes you home
The wild wolf that howls, deserves the right to live Her haunting sound stirs the primitive
Their plight has been to suffer too much cruelty There’s pain in persecution of a vanishing species Their family pack was slaughtered, shot down from the sky Alpha and omega left to rot and die
The wild wolf that howls, deserves the right to live Her haunting sound stirs the primitive
Green mountains covered in shimmering mist Future holding ironic metamorphosis High on dragon’s limestone peak Learning legends from artistic characters Crumbling bridge, I was lucky to see from the Ming dynasty
Water levels rising on the Yangtzi I remember Xiling Gorge in sunset glow How long this dam can sustain energy A cryptic answer only the future will show
River dolphins live on the lower reaches A red pagoda built into steep cliffs I’m absorbing all that Taoism teaches Complementary principles, yang and yin
Part of this river takes a new shape From flowing waters now looks like a lake History’s monuments will be washed under Will the sturgeon survive? You can only wonder
Water levels rising on the Yangtzi I remember Wotong Gorge going with the flow How long this dam can sustain energy Where progress leads us, no one really knows
You’re in the twilight, a hypnogogic state The spiral dynamic continues to circulate The pages of your history are written in your eyes I see your illusion of deception in disguise
Spinning in your thought world Sometimes you fall off
Cerebral masturbation becomes a blue mental fog You claim you’ll write a book but I’m still waiting Flipping pages of ideas, you’re still vacillating
Where’s your motivation There’s no liberation in constant vacillation
Your aspirations get wilted, never to manifest The more I hear planned pipe dreams, sounds like rhetoric You seek constant change, you do the same old thing Mania cycles high then you crash down on a dampened wing
There’s a quiet call for forgiveness To the clashing of your words, I’ll be your witness After static talk, will there be stillness? On your fantasy throne cling to your princess
You say let stars and dreams be your guide But I feel the pressure of what you’re keeping inside A reminder to the master mind of duality Is to look in the middle to know equanimity
Spinning in your thought world, sometimes you fall off Cerebral masturbation becomes a blue mental go You claim you’ll write a book, but I’m still waiting Flipping pages of ideas, you’re still vacillating
Where’s your motivation There’s no liberation in constant vacillation
Wake up wake up before your heart goes to sleep Linear, logical realms grasp for the orderly You slip between the mundane, dry, barren cracks Of your cindering courage, afraid to make contact
Frequently fixed in your myopic mind Tiny mouse man’s only safe when he can analyze Come clean in your confessions, don’t hesitate You seem like the timid type, too distant to relate
Crawl deep into this void where you greet this emptiness The truth you attempt to destroy lingers like this ignorance
Taken from the center is the father figure Easily replaced with mother matriarch Sacred symbols, interpretations obscured Revival is in the feminine avatar
In nature’s temple I experience unity Phallic congregations never held much mystique You carefully commit to seeing separate squares Proliferation of dogma is a nagging nightmare
Siamese daughter, you’ve become my precious one Holding you so close, your soft fur brings comfort Crystal blue, kind eyes shine From my affectionate feline
Sensitive Tasha I loved you for almost 20 years Sensitive Tasha A loyal friend through joy and tears
You would crawl under the covers next to me Your peaceful purr pacifying me I’ll always remember you, darling And all the love you gave
Siamese daughter, a companion so talkative From the herbal shrine, I feed you catnip Mystical protector of the night Just like an angelic white fairy sprite
Sensitive Sia Nimble nymph with your string at play Sensitive Sia Queen of independence every day
Siamese Tasha A loyal friend through joy and tears Sensitive Sia Queen of independence every day
I can feel the love
Each stroke that you give me
Moving into harmony
Touch tenderly
Take me … home
Each stroke that you give me
Nurturing my wilderness soul
Touch tenderly
I yield and then surrender
You are the compass of your life
Finding light
That quiet place inside your
higher mind
North south east west
Inside of you
Students of the university of
life
Look into my eyes and you look
into a mirror
Students of the university of
life
The true guru lives inside of
you

Love Lives in the Earth ─ Lyrics
I can feel the love
Each stroke that you give me
Moving into harmony
Touch tenderly
Take me … home
Each stroke that you give me
Nurturing my wilderness soul
Touch tenderly
I yield and then surrender
Students of the university of
life
Look into my eyes and you look
into a mirror
Students of the university of
life
The true guru lives inside of
you
You know I pray, every day
I hear you in the lion's roar
Aquarian star
When I feel the wind I know it's
you, forever friend
I wish for protection of places
like this
Love lives in the earth
There is a lovely place I used
to swim in the river
I wish for preservation of
places like this
Love lives in the earth
Respect her
I am opening to a transformation
I'm giving in to grace
I know that I have a choice
I'm giving in to grace
Finding light
That quiet place inside your
higher mind
North south east west
Inside of you
It’s a bad real dream
Panthers dolphins owls
chimpanzees
The world's precious children
Acceleration of urban sprawl
It’s a bad real dream
Wake up to the beauty
We still are mother nature's
children
You will see the movie that your
mind creates
Turning on the light of the soul
You will find the source on
which to concentrate
Turning on the light of the soul
Born to regenerate
Scorpio …
You see beneath the surface
Born to regenerate
Caribou’s birthing ground
Oil drilling in the Arctic
Refuge
Arctic wolves birthing ground
No more miles of roads and
pipelines
In the circle
In the circle
Not blocked at any gate
You kneel down and bow
Revering the kinship of
polarities
You are getting to know
She lives in the energy of a
hand
Every moment that she lets go
She lives in the fire’s dance
