Mantra 03:02
Four white walls, a list of pitfalls I'm alone with my brain again Trapped in my mind, the clock is unkind No sleep, just pain again Everything will be okay, everything is going fine Everything will be okay, dear friend of mine Everything will be okay, everything is going fine Everything will be okay, I'm trapped in my mind My skin is crawling, my stomach's rumbling A roaring nest of bees inside Under my eyes a thousand black flies Eat away at the light inside

Tree Song 03:01
I am dispatching a future sapling Some day I'll plant my roots and grow Caught up in a current, swept up in service To ride the wind where it may go, oh Wind carry me home, wind carry me home Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home The sky is cracking, lit up and flashing Tears from above push me below The wind is ruthless, but never truthless It's found me a place my roots can grow, oh Wind carry me home, wind carry me home Oh, to float on alone, wind carry me home (Adapted excerpt from "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman:) I saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing All alone it stood and the moss hung down from the branches Without any companion it stood there, uttering joyous leaves of dark green But I wondered how it could utter joyous leaves, standing alone without a friend or lover near, for I knew very well I could not. And I broke off a twig with a certain number of leaves A curious token, it makes me think of human love For all that, and though the Live-Oak glistens there in Louisiana, Solitary, in a wide flat space, Uttering joyous leaves all its life without a friend or lover near, I know very well I could not

Summer Moon 03:23
Breathe in the smell of spring for the first time Oh, that feeling, sending shivers down my spine, oh I'll burn all my winter clothes Cast off dark thoughts, let them melt with the snow When grey clouds fade and grass does grow, I'll burn all my winter clothes And if I'm still the same, maybe I'll never change And if I'm still the same, maybe I'll never change, never change Too soon, the air grows thick and sweltering Underneath the summer moon, we won't forget the kiss of spring, oh

The past makes you who you are But who you are is not who you were in the past I tried to speak but words were falling I'll never see you again, but I don't mind I sure hope you don't read my intentions wrong But unpacking everything I say would take too long
5.
The day has come and gone Night sky keeps the sun at bay Grey skies are drifting on Let your head rest and sleep away the night Drifting through celestial bodies, your mind slips into The places you will visit tonight, I bid you goodnight In my travels through slumber's dreaming I met a poor man who needed help I gave him a word of kindness He thanked me and spread his angel wings And took flight
