Who are you today?

A song to centre

Who are you today?
What does the mirror say
Who are you today?
What does the mirror say
Reach up and touch the sky
Who am I?
Who am I?
Reach up and touch the sky
Wonder why?
Eternal Eye

Who am I today?
What does my heartbeat say
Who am I today?
What does my heartbeat say
Reach down and touch the ground
Heart’s unbound
Heart’s unbound
Reach down and touch the ground
Centre found
Underground

Who are you today?
What does the mirror say
Who are you today?
What does the mirror say
Reach up and touch the sky
Who am I?
Who am I?
Reach up and touch the sky
Wonder why?
Eternal Eye

Who am I today?
What does my heartbeat say
Who am I today?
What does my heartbeat say
Reach down and touch the ground
Heart’s unbound
Heart’s unbound
Reach down and touch the ground
Centre found
Underground

Who are you today – song

My Hallowed Guest

For Brandon

Come to the door my Hallowed Guest
But before you enter inside
Bring what you honour and leave the rest
You’re in for one Hell of a ride

To pass through a door seems an easy thing
One step, another, that’s all
To enter within you need to leave without
Remember it’s always your call

A threshold is crossed but not by a step
Don’t be fooled by your eyes
Heart through intention and action is best
You can’t move with falsehoods and lies

Don’t ignore what you promised my Hallowed Guest
And don’t take back whatever you gift
Deep consequence weaves and threads through it all
So beware that you do not drift

To step through to Darkness or step through to Light
Your hand is what’s holding the key
To dance through the roses is to Dance through the thorns
And both have great blessings for thee

So come and step through my Hallowed Guest
And as you walk through this door
Know if the crossing is easy then you never crossed
The threshold awaits nothing more

Song – My Hallowed Guest

Hear my Call

Floating through the silence
I call out to thee
Arms reaching widely
To hold you to me
I see you floating freely
Upon my sea of stars
Facing the blackness
That’s hiding our hearts.

I breathe and it moves me
I feel it flow through you
Even in this stillness
Between me and you
I call but you don’t hear me
You’re deaf, blind, and dumb
Ignite the flame within you
For I am that one.

Your flame smolders softly
And sparks you into life
You begin to move towards me
Awakened, alight
Body slowly forming
From the dust of my stars
Yet that ache continues
Your gaze lost and sparse.

My fingers reach out to you
I hold your hand in mine
Two becoming one again
Golden harp divine
Our hearts sing to each other
We are all and we are one
Blazing together
Brighter than the sun.

Weaver Hear My Prayer

For Kathleen – a healing spell song

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

One I know is ill
One I know needs strength of will
One I know is ill
One I know needs strength of will

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

Weave their body strong
And their will to live life long
Weave their body strong
And their will to live life long

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

Clear them of disease
And their pain let it recede
Clear them of disease
And their pain let it recede

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

Weave their body strong
And their will to live life long
Weave their body strong
And their will to live life long

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

One I know is ill
One I know needs strength of will
One I know is ill
One I know needs strength of will

Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care
Weaver hear my prayer
Weaver weave this thread with care

Song – Weaver Hear My Prayer – by Xander

Lucifer Fell

Lucifer fell from the sky on a day
As the Earth was still turning round
Lucifer fell from the sky on a day
As the Earth was still turning round

He burned as he fell and he fell as he burned
And he turned into ash on the ground
He burned as he fell and he fell as he burned
And he turned into ash on the ground

The light that you see low in the sky
At morning and evening is He falling by

Your feet are His ash while your eyes are His spark
And your lips mouth His question of why
Your feet are His ash while your eyes are His spark
And your lips mouth His question of why

His wisdom lies here at the heart of your soul
If you only knew first how to cry
His wisdom lies here at the heart of your soul
If you only knew first how to cry

The light that you see low in the sky
At morning and evening is He falling by

Lucifer fell from the sky on a day
As the Earth was still turning round

Lucifer Fell – Song

Feels Like Home

For Felix

I love the way you make me feel when you hug me
I know I’m not alone
I love the way you make me feel when you’re with me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like
Home

I can feel and cry freely
I don’t have to hold it in
I can rage and scream and yell
And it won’t sound like a din
I don’t have to pretend
Cause my mask is coming off

With you I’m fee
To be me

Why can’t I cry?
Why must my sun just keep on shining
Clouds refuse to pass by
And my heart just keeps on pining
Fills me up, every port
Overflows till there’s just drowning
Neverending always more
Head can’t think for pounding
A flash of red
My blood just keeps on raging
And that flush of dread
Many eyes that seek engaging

Till you’re just there
A touch a sound my anchor
A show of care
Around me now my harbour
And I know I’m held
Your arms, no place safer
Such release, heart felt
Sun returns from its shelter

I love the way you make me feel when you hug me
I know I’m not alone
I love the way you make me feel when you’re with me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like
Home

Listen to the song

About the Song

They are Near

Golden serpent
Dances with delight
Over stones that shimmer in the
Nearly eve twilight
They are near, they are near
They are near, they are near
They are nearly nearly here
See them peeking from that
Four Leaf clover
Reaching as they stand
On tippy toes
Peeking from behind that
Nearby boulder
You may mistake them for
A latish blooming rose

They are Near – song

Celebrate the birth of the Sun

Song – Celebrate the Birth of the Sun

For Mew (Happy Birthday!)

Celebrate the birth of the Sun
Lighting up his path hard won
Destined to rise and rule the sky
Chasing dreams as he soars so high

Smile radiates through everything
Encouraging the birds to sing
Clothed in colours splendour full
Even a glimpse is wonderful

We celebrate your day of birth
And every day you’ve been on this Earth
Wishing you many more to come
Happy birthday Mew, our Radiant One

About the creation of the song

This is me

I am here
I am me
in every way
that I can be

I have wings
See me soar
I have voice
Hear me roar

I will stand up
I will speak out
My truth is clear
No fear no doubt

Here’s my sword
Here’s my shield
I am strong
I will not yield

I am clothed
In my finery
My light shines out
This is me

About the creative process behind the song

Crushing Sad

The intense and crushing sad
Washes over what was bad
The intense and crushing sad
Washes over what was bad
And the knife’s edge that I walk
Competes with the daggers that I stalk
In my mind they’re dueling now
I hope that I can win somehow.

Yet it cut me to my bone
This never-ending high-pitched tone
Yet it cuts me to my bone
This never-ending high-pitched tone
Whose screeching bleeds my ears
Unleashing all my fears
I’ve ever held or ever known
I feel so very far from home.
