moonstone
badlands, south dakota
july 5, 2017
the stillness of my steady heart
i breathe you in
the stillness of the silent land
my hands touch gold and white
my eyes have seen darkness and light
darkness and light
but i’m here on my own
with a moonstone above
and bones full of love for you
and i sing a warm tone
to you above,
my moonstone
i sing to you above
with all of my love

mountain child
grand teton mountains, wyoming
july 7, 2017
she’s a child
and i’m so far away from her
and she’s lying
in the mountain of ferns
and she’s crying
for the dandelions,
the dandelions are crying too
i am a child no more
i am so far away from her
and i’m lying in the mountains of who i was before
who i was before
and i’m trying
to feel like a child again
and i’m crying
with the weeping willows,
willow weep for me
now i’m lying
in the mountains of solitude
and i feel like a child again
softening my skin
with the wind
with the wind
with the wind

kauai, hawaii
july 22, 2017
we took to the ocean
so far away
so far you are
up in the stars today
us and them
so far away
my body stays the same
but i’m not the same
my mind is salty ocean
my life is flowing motion
and we took to the ocean
so far away
so far you are
up in the stars
today

indian maiden
i’m cradling myself
find your tribe within
and never lose sight
indian maiden
i’m sinking my roots in the earth
my hands are dirt
my body holds the weight of its worth
i am deaf and blind to those
whom i can’t relate
oh i tend to my garden
i feed my seeds and weed
that which does not grow
indian maiden
i’m cradling myself
i’m sinking my roots in the earth
find your tribe within
and tend to your garden
tend to your garden and fend for your tribe within

child of fire
laurel canyon, california
august 3, 2017
yellow houses
denim trousers
and golden hands
fire on the sands of california
i was born of fire into the world
and my home is wherever the sun is
and my home is wherever i roam
pour a glass of water and raise is up to the firing sun for me
and cheers,
to the long forgotten years
to the pain that childhood adheres
and the conquering of every fear
whispered in my ear
oh i am here,
i say to them
i do not fear
i am here
tattooed houses
and naked trousers
golden sands
and fire in my hands
oh california, california
pour a glass of fire
and raise it up to the watering sun for me
and cheers
to the long forgotten years
to the pain that childhood adheres
and the conquering of every fear
whispered in my god damn ear
oh i am here
i do not fear
i am here
