Dancing is creativity moving
expressing rhythm and melody
in a gentle flowing movement
delicate as a flower
fully surrendered open and free
blown by the Spirit
in a psychedelic tunnel
the fabric of which is color
and which is directed by sound
spinning and flowing in humble ecstacy
enter my being
become the form of shapeless potential
moved by love
in unity with all the energy
that pervades every atom
is
spinning
spinning
spinning

eyes of blue and skin so soft...increase my desire - regardless of the cost
a vineyard growing with everlasting vines...hugs and smiles that last could last a lifetime
run and dance..we absorb it all and take a chance
the ocean sprays its mist abroad...but why cant we publicly applaud?
I see the children they laugh and peer....I want to grab the wheel and steer
she sees the power....I look from the tower...we sip our love and fear the hour

Travel to the inner landscape
Where the lotus is rooted in the Self
Beyond the mirrors of the mind
To where beauty reveals the moment
Forget yourself and release
Ride the crystal galaxy
Unzip time
Plant the seed of the Universe
Between your eyes
Dive into infinity
Become the birth of energy
Place the crown upon the humble
They see with the vision of One
To be emptied is to be filled
Listen for the deep voice
A transparent vessel of compassion
Symetrical rotations of consciousness
Complete and empathetic
A bird song upon a blue sky
A meditation of absolute clarity
Everything comes into focus
Everything is in perfect balance
Breathing Life at each moment
Receiving deep thoughts sprung from silence
A powerful way to receive
To live, love and grow
Amongst our brothers and sisters
Who share the same feelings
The same love the same pain
it's not a game
it's not insane
just open your brain

and there was light!

go with the flow
don't you know?
you reap what you sow
better let it grow
don't you know?
he says it's so
better lay low

Enter a trance
begin to dance
superfly pants

prophets in the desert sun
caravan of kings on the run
it's further than fun
it can't be undone
the fact is we are One
back to the sun on the run
having fun with the undone one

Hey now!
trust the Tao
here and now
wow
show me how
here and now
to trust in the Tao

Believe the voice within
and you will begin
to heal the sin
your heart will win
when loves shines in

Go back to the inspiration
to receive the revelation
consciousness elevation
dance of Life celebration
a beautiful sensation

Believe the voice within
go back to the inspiration
and you will begin
to receive the revelation
to heal the sin
consciousness elevation
your heart will win
dance of Life celebration
when love shines in
a beautiful sensation

shimmering smiles of glistening pearls
echoes of laughter on the wind can be felt through her curls
eyes of blue, the reverend said true, twist my stomach until it is glue
she runs..whispering through the trees...pure as snow...she gets what she sees
I feel her and sense her when I am away..we never leave the bed...is that ok?
riding up and down...smiling...my body is one muscle...her power I guzzle
is it real or a dream?
....release...embrace...
together we feel our hearts
race....

If you insist......I don't exist.

You can try to push me aside.
I may disappear but I wont hide.
You can find me with one simple shout out.
If you call me I 'll be there.
To hear your troubles, to say I care.

For some reason you captured my heart,
right from the start.
I cant let you go,try as I may,
knowing your just a phone call away.

Princess what should I do?
Tell me again I'm no good for you.
Tell me again your wrong for me.

Make it hurt, cut me deep.
Maybe i'll finally see,
that you just want me to leave you be.

If you insist.......I don't exist.

If you insist.......I don't exist

The gypsy died months ago,
but his spirit still lingures on.

I travel the countryside
holding on to the past.
You moved forward
and I stayed behind.

You may try to ignore my presence,
but i continue to haunt.
Like Casper, I m a friendly ghost,
I mean no harm.

You can bring me back to life,
with a few simple words,but

If you insist.....I don't exist.

If you insist.....I don't exist.

I speak
I breathe
I cry when I'm sad
I laugh when I'm not
I scream when i get burned
I create
I share what I have to give
I keep telling myself I'm real,
But baby,

If you insist......I don't exist

Airplanes on Monday, cars at night,
A shuttle to the front gate,
For a red-eye flight.
Indiana public schools,
I have no contract signed with you,
so she looked my cousin in the eye:
"Why not stay?"
My cousin loved us, too-
Asana's were handed on like a family tradition,
as we taught on a rainy porch, painted white.
Soon catchin the bus to storytelling each night,
Like old friends and mothers around a fire, gypsys-
An orange spotlight hit a bead of sweat traversing down her back and broke into a trillion paths,
light split by water:
A confluence of the original rivers of inspiration,
The waterways and canyons that sliced through the earth raw: through time and thought: bringing together poets and drummers:
Contributing to all celebrations of civilizations of incarnations and revelations
bestowed by Indian Nations from previous locations and manifestations of creation!
The continuous flow of wha- wha-
Wow! Ongoing, the ongoing of it!
Let's go ahead and witness one more sunrise,
collectivly rising to face each Friday
Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
Visiting views of humanity's organic garden:
Tapping my feet through human nature preserves,
Both evil and free, plants with
Animal symmetry.. Magnolia trees..
Petals picked up,
and tossed,
and a perfect rain jacket,
Scarf, tan sweater, longjohns, a blue skirt,
This girl tromped through the whole place!
Layers while we climbed the San Francisco hills:
Peeled away each night,
Like anxious years of wear and tear,
The young heart of joy and life,
Dancing to the beat inspired by night.

"Sing Little Bird"
by C Whitrow 02-14-2005

Sing little bird, you are free,
Sing little bird, sing like me,
I am singing because I am free,
shackles of life no longer hinder me.
Free am I to soar to heights way above the world.
No cages here to hold me in,
freedom reigns at last.
Sing little bird, take the chance.
I did, now I am free.

tap into the higher frequency of the music
where it's beauty reflects the diamond of your soul
shimmering in vibration with waves of sound
deep within
beyond the walls in which you dwell
and centering in on the patterns
that create time and space
and give the universe a face
of stars and planets in orbit
pulsating movement
into the dance of existence
till we see it through the eyes of the world
of the One Self
who is everywhere always
here and now
right back into the moment
when we started to
tap into the higher frequency of the music

by james 11-08-2004

There in the place of childlike wide open humble innocence
smiling laughing at the new dawn of love springing up from within
like a myriad of roses surrendered and free
delightfully singing the song of the eternal play
the dance of love in the Supreme Moment
perfect unity
the one verse
aware and awake
and all Life
simultaneously forever in every direction
to the edge of infinity
which there is none
going
going
it's the same as one point
the center is everywhere
yet nowhere
The Great Isness
that my mind be silent to hear You whisper
that the waters of my emotions be still as glass
that i may feel Your gentle breeze blow through me
washing the window of my perception
that i may see as You see
as things really are
for You are the one of omniscient consciousness
the resevoir of liquid bliss
of pure spiritual ecstacy
that is Your moment
Your place in which You dwell
You are your own place
and the place is of You
there is separation
yet total unity
You are One

the show takes it's peak
when all parts complete
when observation transforms into participation
total emancipation
in the proclamation
of harmonization
the spokes merge in the hub
the flowers open and entwine
the chords of our heart
we realize it's just us
then we realize it's just me
there we are just as we are
when we are all laughing
at the realization that we don't get it
but it's ok and it will be that way
so we skip on the days
of kaleidoscopic haze
the white wings of light
consciousness on a flight
beyond the sky of reason
enter the space before the seasons
the Patriarch of Time
says it's up to you
so you do
and therefore it's true

"1000 shows"
by Lookyloo 10-29-2004

On this day we celebrate, 1000 shows you say.
From far and wide we travel, some, 1400 miles today.
What is it about this band, that makes us feel this way?
The music, the friendship, that feeling inside.
You can't run from it, absolutely nowhere to hide
All I can say, on this day of days.
Is thank goodness we found them, on our Grateful day.
They play the music, that Grateful way.
So sing out loud, on this day of days.
It's Dark Star Orchestra, and 1000 they've played.

Roses wrapped in a beam
flowing out patiently toward heaven
and the invitation is accepted
so we walk foward
in the palace
where ideas are are adorned with jewels
and everything reflects peace and stillness
in beauty
prestine
crystalline
perfection
a moment like no other
that is complete and whole
all attractive and sublime
like the the ulitmate song of Being
flowing through the Creation
in psychedelic ecstasy
pervading every molecule
breathing into the intangible cord of Life
that strings the differences
into the same web of consciousness
like rays sourcing from the sun
unscathed
untainted
like crystals from the spring of paradise
erupting rapturous lava flows of love
succulant and all fulfilling
and i'm offering it back
and everyone offers it back
until infinity embraces us
in the vision of eternity
all knowing
all emcompassing
reality of truthful expression
from the voice of the primal cause
that danced the birth of the universe
and spread it's light into manifestation
the first dawn
the initial rotation of time
encapsulated in a moment
so precious
so nectarian
that it must be given back to the Source
from which it came in the first place
the orginal thought
the original desire
from which reader and written forever dwell within

by Intrepid Spirits 08-26-2004


Midnight on a carousel ride
Starlit canopy of dreams
Behind the veil nothing to hide
The treasure of truth gleams
Binded weaved and sown
Can this all be true?
More than I could've ever known
A mirror reflection of Stella Blue
Opening opening wider wider
A rainbow bridge between hearts
Inside him inside her
Where she ends is where he starts
A cyclic circle of similarity
Cellular songs of ecstacy
In this moment of perfect clarity
What is your thought, Mr. Destiny?

Take hold of the reigns and ride this moment
as if it were a fancy footed arabian
gliding through the day and night with the gentle ease of a song.
Behold the beautiful colors of the rainbow
reflecting our chakras, perfectly alligned
connecting mother earth and father sky.
Alas the happiness known to those true to self and one another.
Bursting with abundance and love
into the sunset we ride with the bliss of a new day

Forever fields of green unfold perfectly surrendered
Riding the chariot of times remembered
The childhood dreams of freedom rendered
Of love and light are now engendered

The earth laughs in flowers
Beckoning us in the waking hours
Mimicked in moonlight showers
Inviting us to play

Eternity set the stage of your will
For now you make time stand still
Soul to soul upon the hill
The empty cup is what we fill

As our wine begins to flow
we sip upon each others glow
our true essence begins to show
and like the vine, intertwine and grow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Intrepid Spirits 08-26-2004

The merry maiden runs away in the night, but she can't hide.  Her giggle gives her away

Swift gnome captures her heart in the stillness of the moon..she does not resist his charms

He chases her into the courtyard surrounded with vines of ivy lit only by the splash of the moon. He catches her and they laugh and to their amazement they hear the sweet aroma of music caressing into the night

Playfully spiraling in and out of the moon's shadows their hearts pound the rhythm of their souls, chanting, thirsty, they surrender to the music

He takes her hand above her head as she spins effortlessly and free, her gown billowing like a bell. His joy is her delight

Keeping with the tempo she melts into his hands allowing him to drink from her cup. elevated now she sings to him..soft sweet and true

The sweet nectar of her voice hypnotizes him into a fantasy-like trance as he looks into the diamonds that are her eyes sparkling with light from the deep shimmering essence of her soul.   gently he lifts his voice in unison with hers until they merge in harmonious union

Floating upwards into the stars they embrace in song, body, mind and spirit the kindred souls illuminate the night sky.. his song caresses her very essence

Stardust trailing behind their movement, herr long flowing brown hair lifted by the wind, he contemplates the touching of their lips

She surrenders to the coolness of the moon, and the fire within their lips meet and they quench each others souls..chanting the rythym of their hearts

The earth trembles below from the surge ignited from the meeting of their lips. She is gently bent down in his arms and their bodies take the form of the crescent moon which pierces them with it's healing light. their hearts beating in unison to the pulse of the universe

Freedom move me limitless
Unbound like a falling leaf
Like snow blowing in the wind
Soaring to the infinite

Apon arrival there is a gate
Beyond which is the breath
Of wisdom creating the world
Of the Muse thinking this thought

Travel in the gleam of the diamond
Until the end becomes beginning
Which begat the begotten
Such a roundabout to be forgotten

Dizzy dazzle dandy ding dong
So soft and warm is the peace
That blends the colors to swarm
Like bees around the hive

Fly into the sun of bliss
Wash in the water of grace
Find yourself crying
At things you've never known

But joy spills over the rim
And sprouts from your heart
The landscape full of flowers
The moon is made of art

The fool tries to cast a shadow
Over the glow of the jewel
Yet he who knows his smallness
Walks in the garden with a smile

The real voice speaks in silence
Desire to love is insatiable
The forest lies in stillness
Water ripples onto the shore

-----------------------------------------------------

by james 02-28-2004

Love evolves into the rainbow
Love covers the grassy knol
Love is shining from the sun
Love pouring in embraces the soul

Love opens every door
Love knows every answer
Love is the color of eternity
Love is the flow of the dancer

Love reflects the light of the universe
Love bursts the seed to life
Love whispers the secret of time
Love knows no anger, knows no strife

Love draws from an endless well
Love sparkles on drops of dew
Love spirals fragrant true and free
Love is me and love is you

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

by james 02-25-2004

Fractures of timeless light unfold
Unwinding twisting plural infinity
Four way thought
Flash of Heaven

Angels and chariots streets of gold
The River of Life
A chorus in harmony
Merge
Unity
Still

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

going within the center of i
i find myself at the point of beginning
at which all things touch the rose
there is fragrance of absolute melt
slide along in surrender
fear of insanity is an anchor
there is light at the end of the tunnel

-------------------------------------------------------------------

by Brenna Read 10-12-2003

reality
conformity
my mind bombarded by both
still confronted by a personal oath
i can not think
i can not speak
so i blink
and then i can be
be within the moment
be within myself
nothing left but inhibitions
no more competitions
release them
see their true worth
worries and cares to real to share
unnecessary for those who know
its nothing to share
its all in what you feel
seeing is not believing
believing is seeing
and knowing
is growing
towards one

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"It"
by Breen Read 10-11-2003

sunlight trickling thruogh the trees
shedding warmth on the scene
yellow red orange brown
all once green
new realization deeply found
green is peace
green is love
it all began green
from something above
a calming, coaxing colaborated color
perfectly painted upon the planet
reiterating the recent revelation
it all starts at green
survival impossible with out the dream
the obscurly obscene green dream
do you know what i mean?
have you even begun to conceive?
a thought so coincidentally clear....
as a color
an engergy
as it

--------------------------------------------------------------

by Brenna Read 10-08-2003

unexpected treasure found

within the safety zone of love

the music began it all

the people personified the energy

the night forever frozen in time

 

myself

yourself

discovery, recovery, of ourself

 

energy was high

expectations low

 

ourself a rotating circle of similarities

much more than that

an unforseen from from an absolute

one seam to the seamless garment of life

one heart beating in time

one unification of two souls

one reunion of two who the other once knew

one wheel spinning incestly

 

an indescribable rush of realism

a tidal wave of love for life

 

all that can be taken

is a lesson of never ending learning

of who we are

what we were

and how we can be

if our eyes remain open

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Brenna Read 10-01-2003

America the beautiful

beautifully beautful

sickening separation

false freedom

ignorant attitudes

yet even in my youth

i'm forbidden to embrace truth

lying in the atmosphere we breath

few can begin to conceive

this notion of unity

quite possible for this community

hearts and mind left open

not a rule would be broken

in fact; rules unnecessary

our world the sanctuary

it was once before

something opened that door

allowing hate and confusion

to make a new fusion

it must be released!

brothers and sisters stop being policed

a life of love and harmony

is the only way we can be free
