Winter magnolia
Ahead of its time
Fooled by the sunshine and
Destined to die
As with everything
A Trick of the light
In January
She lies fast asleep
at the mercy of rain
And too early birds start singing again
And she’s trusting
a hearth that’s been broken in two
What we have we done to you?
Whole from the beginning
We are burning down her intuition
Oh mother oh mother
we’ve grown and left home
forgetting the love that you gave to us all
You’re the child of a god that had beauty in mind
and we are all the children of time
You will go on after we go away
but not before we have dried up every river bed
down to the bone
like a knife cutting through
I wish I could heal you
Whole in the beginning
We are burning down her intuition
Power is fixated on
controlling what is powerful
too fearful to be equal
to the hand that gave it life
a planet made of miracles
is broken into pieces, sold,
and stolen from the ones who know the land is on our side.

If I die tomorrow
and find myself waiting at St. Peter’s gates
I’d surely think how heavenly
to once again feel sun shine down and dance across my face And as I’d fall down to my knees
I’d cry because I’d feel no pain
All the answers fill my head against my will
and every mystery it slips away
Eternity is far too long
to live a life that’s worthy of those wings
Looking down on hell with righteousness
is nothing short of earthly sin
I’d be better off as nothing
than as something made to live without a heart to break
I’ve been nobody much longer than I’ve been somebody anyway
You could bury me or burn me
either way I’m not going anywhere
I’m not my name I’m just a wave
that kissed the shore to turn around and disappear How lonely to believe someday you’ll leave everything and everyone you’ve loved behind
But I am you and you are everything
and I will always be there by your side

Father's Garden

Pain is made for anyone
who’s fortunate enough to fall in love
Mother takes the weight from you
Shows you miracles you thought you knew
Hearts out on the sidewalk after rain
Careful where you let your feet fall
as you make your way
Be as father in the garden
a carpenter and a welcome harbour
Cherish winds that wrap around
your shoulders as they pull you from your mind
The storm has come, the damage done
Once a foe the winds now at your side
Hearts washed to the sea after the flood
Careful as you cast your nets
to reach them deep enough
Be as father in the garden
a carpenter and a welcome harbour
I was made for love and by love
to give love to you my love
When you are low know that heaven on earth
it is true my love
Be as farther in the garden
