A slow-written song: When I was young I stumbled out upon a chasm deep and wide. I didn’t know where it came from, Didn’t know why. When I was young I could feel that I would have to pick a side. I chose then, as I choose now, Those who are kind. When I was young, My father spoke of God like a grand old love. And when he stood in his pulpit It felt like he was holding us. So that was my home Until...

Sun rising, loud. Birds find the highest branch to sing, Squash blossom opening So wide, Tender as skin, Gold as the sun in the sky. Tender as skin, Gold as the sun in the sky. I sing today, Though I don’t know If I can stay So bright. Sometimes the voices Telling me to quiet Get so loud. Oh let me rise Like the sun, Out loud.

My soul will shine a light A steady light Of inner sight. Born deep Past memory Past wounding Of ancestry My soul will shine a light A steady light Of inner sight.

“We need a ceasefire,” I said To the person on the phone. “I’ll pass along your message,” They said, “I’ll let your representative know.” And then, quite softly, They said, “Thank you for your call.” I hung up, and I cried, Because I felt so small, So small.

Two songs: 1. The Path There’s a sparkle in the light today And still I feel so far away Like I don’t belong In the beauty of a song. In the dark behind my eyes I see a mountain rise: The mountain crown Is silver with snow Surrounded by the clouds. Wide as my footsteps Is the trail I tread, It rises above my head. Lai da… I know, deep down That my feet will be steady As the mountain stands it’s gr...

There’s a weight of things unsaid. There’s a weight, it’s in my head. And on this night it weighs like lead. There’s a weight of things unsaid. If there’s a song that can be sung To speak the heart, to free the tongue, Then let that song fly from my lungs And keep on flowing, till love is won. There’s a weight of things not done, And forgiveness still not won There’s a weight, it’s on my heart It...

Somewhere along the way I learned to fly away, To leave my body to lie Like Raggedy Anne, Like Raggedy Anne. I see you packing your bags, All you who didn’t try To hear my yes or no: You may go, You may go. Heart, you’ve come alive Just in time To ride this wave right back To where we start - Oh Heart, Feeling so young, Longing to be loved. Oh, I destroyed them all, I can’t rebuild them now, The w...

I felt you there in the early morn When I had just emerged from sleep. Where are you now? What shape, what form? Are you drawing close to me? Drawing close to me, Drawing close to me? I promise I will see you, I promise I will see. I told you, there, in the early morn, When I had just emerged from sleep, Just how to love me in my present form, Wrapped in skin so sweet. Wrapped in skin so sweet, Wr...
