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 04:38
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

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. 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

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.
9.
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

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

about

New album inspired by the sacred master plant teacher Ayahuasca. This is an 11 track conceptual album of meditation style ambient songs with spoken word poetry and acoustic instruments. Recorded with one microphone in the jungle and whilst travelling, the album is as pure as I hoped it could be. Take the time to sit down, relax and enjoy this journey with me. Tune into who we really are. All one connected love.
