Dear Moon,

Thanks for never failing
to tickle my sense of wonder

A door between
Living and creativity
On a floating shore
Where it is, no-one knows

As a young man
I tried to know
I went with eyes open
But doors closed
But magic isn't solid gold

I live my life around it though
Waiting, and listening
Listening like a wolf

For that door
Between living and creativity
On a floating shore
Where it is, no-one knows

What is it to commit to freedom
To allow it, to be it?
What would happen?
If you'd let it be?

What would you lose?
What would you find?

On the opposite side
Of freedom?

Dear peaceful morning

I was angry last night

But it was just for play
I must be far away

But not as far as you, peaceful morning

Thanks for taking me away

Softly into a new day

Even the cat is quiet, for a change


I want to tie a string around the world
And make two ends meet
I want to be two people at the same time

But I can be only one
with one heart
One smile
Here and now

Knowing is trying to destroy me
Knowing everything
Like rusty hinges

So thankyou peaceful morning

Thanks for taking me away

Softly into a new day

I am so confused
What is the point of all this?
Me and you?
I used to know truth.

There is so much horror
And beauty too
Full of people, doing what they have to do
Like me and you

The birds at softest sunset
Sound bittersweet

I'm travelling thru
On a Nightflight blue


Under it
All the mistakes I've made
The suffering
It's there
The truth that keeps the world turning

I don't live in the world of changing absolutes
Of hard lines
Mine is a feeling
A feeling far and wide

In the morning I know you'll come true

I'm travelling thru
On a Nightflight blue

I have to go back home
It's for the best

I couldn't do what I set
And the man who was a mountain, stood in my way and said

It's love your in need of
Nothing else

And I know you tried
But my shell is hard dried

But thankyou

I've grown
I've deepened and learnt

And this isn't the end for me
Or you

For us makers
Of skies blue

It's impossible to be in two places at once
My family is back home
I hardly call
Here the days are solid like brick walls

But I am agile
Creative and smart
So it's ok

But still, time goes on

I have to go back home
It's for the best

I know I'm bringing myself as I am

But I miss the place
The people
The new ones I haven't met
And it won't be there forever

Now that you remind me
I'm looking forward to it
It's been too long

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

The sun is setting quickly
Soon another day will be over
The mud is rising darling
And I don't want to get stuck
Call me crazy
But I can't help it
All my time
I've devoted to a moment of grace

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

Like scripture that needs singing
Or a puppet being brought to life
Breath some air into this fire
And keep it burning thru the night

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?

I know it's not so plain and simple
The way I want it to be
Trying to build a house
In the middle of a shifting sea

So I give it all up
Every last grain of salt
Every atom of energy
Every trick up my sleeve
Every piece of my soul

Would you keep my dreams awake before I go to sleep?
