Brand New Day
05:15
|
|||
Navigate the spiralling stairs
Folding hands of simple prayers
All in time like melting white
Snow to flame, a burning bright
Cracking trees within the heat
Sounding waves absorb my feet
Fungi wakes a midnight creep
Connecting fibres in my sleep
Only then the union’s play
A waking film, a brand new day.
Vast of space a thriving show
Applauding jungle to your morning glow
Over the rainbow non-stop ride
My slow cocoon I’ll wait and hide
Buzzing trip to be alive
Swarming closer mother hive
Thirsty hunt without a word
The angel-winged humming bird
My body breathes fresh new air
Sweet surrender the flood of care
Brand new day
A brand new day

Aya

|

Canopy clouds over forest creeks
Blissful flow these winding weeks
Safe and bright under your dome
Her creeping vine has brought me home
AYA
Seasons blend in helping hand
All elements help me understand
Crystal paths can guide your way
An honest heart with every day
AYA
New friends, family, plant and man
Spirits dance to the sacred fan
Purified from crowded thought
The shamans’ way has now been taught
AYA
Final days within the green
Medicine magic so much I’ve seen
Life connection the answers true
Just pure love between me and you.
AYA

Sacred Symmetry
02:34
|
|||
Splitting the seeds
Sacred symmetry
Microcosm universe
Transient truth
I see these merging worlds
Across the innate fibres of species
Plant and human in infinite overlap intelligence
Germinating, slow decaying
Fingers in locked truth
The plants have finally spoken
Splitting the seeds
Sacred symmetry
Microcosm universe
Transient truth
Plant and human in infinite overlap intelligence
Plant and human in infinite overlap intelligence

A Song Is A Seed
03:51
|

A song is a seed. A seed is a song
A song is a seed. A seed is a song
I see no divide as the past rewinds
My whole control is slipping by
The stretch it grows to movements wild
I’m at the start, I’m just a child
A song is a seed. A seed is a song
A song is a seed. A seed is a song
Womb of life, its warms my soul
The spirits call, no ego goal
Lucid dream, the moving gears
Correct the tune, remove the fears
A song is a seed. A seed is a song
A song is a seed. A seed is a song
I’m at the center
Awake the face, I sink right in
Her yawning roar, a fresh new skin
This endless field, I’ll open up
Wash from the pond, drink from the cup

Kingdom Smile
04:45
|

Look at me now I’m flying
Look at me now I’m flying
Finally in child’s pose
It knows I’m here by just its nose
Spirit feline awake in dream
Buried head down by our stream
Silent love no words at all
Smiling eyes, I see he waits the call
Power guides from sky to earth
Navigating friends from birth
Look at me now I’m flying
Look at me now I’m flying
Totem tales rise into view
Forgotten treasures, ancestors new
Woven stories, earth to sky
Origins in their clusters high
Toad, serpent, eagles soar
Dreaming sprinter I see there’s more
Nature’s breath connects to mine
This kingdom smiles sweet divine
Look at me now I’m flying
Look at me now I’m flying
Sweet Divine

Oceans
04:00
|
|||
Outside the stars align
I’m staring out. They’re mine
Homeward bound feed my roots
Innocence, happy truths
Ocean all in oceans
Family love is eternal light
Calms my soul forever bright
Constellations of living maps
Bridging the worlds between the gaps
Oceans all in oceans
Snakes and ladders favourite game
Stairs to rail all the same
I see my life pure grace
Unravelling upon my face
Oceans all in oceans
Her gentle waves wash me to the shore
To a place I know and I’ve been before

Every Green
04:07
|
|||
A luminescent orange beyond cascading palm fronds
A full spectrum of every green in gentle photosynthesis
Two spirits rising with hopeful brightness
Familiar locals singing sweet songs from their favourite perch.

Feather Bed
03:50
|
|||
Pulsating sounds between my ear
Flowing rise it’s getting near
Colours, circles, spirals, rings
Symmetric answers to all your things
Circling vortex into bliss
Cosmic master on a quest
Gifting wisdom to the rest
Swarming hum, a rising dawn
Morning chants in a jungle born
Circling vortex into bliss
Circling vortex into bliss
The feather bed of the abyss.

Into The Sound
04:37
|
|||
All around from the sky to the ground
Hanging upside down, as a child until now
I see a world from another side
Floating with a smile on this fragile line
Gravity won’t hold us down
Launching out into the sound.

Start Again
03:49
|
|||
Start again, start again
The rain came on the roof and in the ear
These two merging hemispheres in and out inside on
Childhood game, a dance strong
Can you see me?
I move and swirl in the dark
Can you see the shining spark?
Fragile membrane flexible skin
I push on through to feel akin
Endless possibilities in the open book
Just step inside to take a look
My creaking limbs they stretch and grow
Beyond my thoughts they always go
Here upon the table mat I operate to give it back
All the worry birds will fly
Once wide awake, back to the sky
The vibrant vortex in the nest
Takes the pain and keeps the rest
Songs and silence all the air
Waves of smiles washed despair
Release, release, the waving hands
Just like nature we breathe for the lands
Absorbing life a constant cycle
In and out we recycle
Let it go the stale air
Empty your lung from out of there
The dirt and smog and data crust
That builds upon forgotten trust
Find your roots within the ground
Find your heart and find your sound
Learn to sing your icaro, learn to love and learn to grow
Where there is good there is a spiral
Pure disease let it go viral
Happiness is a happy heart
Start again back from the start

Cosmic Locksmith
11:11
|
|||
Membrane cocoon so fragile thin
Porous leaves my breathing skin
Perfect circle I am one
Hidden dance has now begun
Dreaming your directing light
Transcend me into heavens bright
Next time we merge I’m letting go
To break beyond to see the show
Secret realms, the entry free
Love and trust, a single key
Whispers call of bearings true
Exponential compass from me to you
Cosmic Locksmith
The only truth is impermanence
I see the only truth is impermanence
