Quintessence

As below us we perceive
Small matter
Above it’s us they see
The question mark of
Dark matter
Energy set free

Quintessence
One but divided
Balancing apart
A stellar team
To see or seem
Quintessence

How do we make a mark
To matter
Where are we meant to be
Existential proof of
Soul matter
Parallel frequency

Quintessence
One but divided
Balancing apart
A stellar team
To see or seem
Quintessence

And the universe expands
No matter
What we are able to see
Overtaken by this
Sad matter
Mutual dependency

You and I
And they are made of
Stardust reincarnated
This carbon inside me
Was once the heart of you

Quintessence
One but divided
Balancing apart
A stellar team
To see or seem
Quintessence

Weighing me down

Ominous trees, their branches cut
Decorate a sky of grey
I could cry out my sorrow, but
No rain, no rain today

This is weighing me down
So hard
So long
This has been weighing me down
Strength so great
Still not enough
This has been weighing me down

My wings are clipped like the trees
Dead in my tracks mid flight
I will pray down on my knees
Can’t win, can’t win this fight

This is weighing me down
So hard
So long
This has been weighing me down
Strength so great
Still not enough
This has been weighing me down

I’m so tired now
But there’s no sleep
Lost in my mind
Where the worries creep

Then darkness lifts time and again
It’s myself I always cheat
The spark is there deep down below
Must turn, must turn defeat

This is weighing me down
So hard
So long
This has been weighing me down
Strength so great
Still not enough
This has been weighing me down

Up

Up
Up in the clouds
The world mounts
From the valley sounds
I need to decide now
Reach through the fog
And find out

What is truth?

Have some from me
Or just let it be
I maybe right
I maybe wrong
But I’ll be up
Up in the clouds
Where I belong

Your shore

Somewhere three lands meet
In one point far out there on the sea
A strange little line
That borders the soul of me

I am sinking
I am sinking
And it is slowly sinking in
That all I have been thinking
Sends me crashing upon your shore

The rich multitude of potency
In that delusion of our time
That rare occurrence
When all planets are aligned

I am sinking
I am sinking
And it is slowly sinking in
That all I have been thinking
Sends me crashing upon your shore

With three steps are we connected
Like water rippled by the stone
All is but one part
We play together alone

I am sinking
I am sinking
And it is slowly sinking in
That all I have been thinking
Sends me crashing upon your shore

Song

At the coffee machine a song poured out
and so she drank the words first.
They consumed less time
than it takes to have a coffee.
But the satisfaction they bring lasts much longer.

Where we stand is now

Walk with me to the northern light
Where the world tips over the edge
Talk to me, tell me the story
Where we stand is now
The past a memory
Filled with greatness and with sorrow
Let us forget tomorrow
Where we stand is now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now

We live and learn and think we know
True greatness knows it does not
So open up, let it go then
Where we stand is now
The past lives on but
It won’t guarantee future respect
Life remains a balancing act
Where we stand is now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now

What is the fabric of the legend?
Sown into the silver seam of light
To believe I am possible
Where we stand is now
It might might spark off soon
Time synchronized before it went
I pray that it was well spent
Where we stand is now

Here and now
We live here and now
Don’t look back
Tomorrow’s a mystery
Here, In the moment
There is only here and now

We are awake, but are we conscious?
We are alive, but are we alight?
We are stars, but where’s the moon?
We love the light, but does it blind us?
Will we see here?
Where we stand is now

Sacred Space

In an eb and flow
The tide dances it’s dance
We are moving
Taking steps
Not near yet never far
Waiting for chance

Somewhere we collide
That is the sacred space
Devoid of time and place
Where that silent whisper
Is the voice that lights the way

As fire scorches earth
The ground makes it all grow
Come to the fire
Igniting flames
Not near yet never far
Touching the glow

Somewhere we collide
That is the sacred space
Devoid of time and place
Where that silent whisper
Is the voice that lights the way

A magic mystery
That little corner deep inside
Where I belong
Feeling reborn
Not near yet never far
It’s where you hide

Somewhere we collide
That is the sacred space
Devoid of time and place
Where that silent whisper
Is the voice that lights the way

We will ignite, face the fight
We will talk, meet the night
We will walk, rule the light
We will be

There in the sacred space
Devoid of time and place
Where we let that silent whisper
Become the voice that lights the way

Somewhere we collide
That is the sacred space
Devoid of time and place
Where that silent whisper
Is the voice that lights the way
