Stage Life

Friendly people
with smiling faces
surrounded him
As he stepped out onto
the stage of his life
Guitar in hand
and a song in his heart
Life applauded abundantly…

Song of Light

There was a sound
the song of men
that rose up
those many years ago
And he led them
into darkness and back out again
Riding on the light
A wave of light, of song
Come, come celebrate life
in joyousness
in song

Roots Planted

Tenacious as bamboo

Resilient and strong

He grew where he was planted

In the center of his soul

On the banks of Life’s flow

Inspiration blossoms there

Like weeds of truth

Beautiful and ungroomed

Awaiting his arrangement

Roots of a songmaker

Full Voice

The body loves to sing full voice
as the lion, the song bird
the frog upon his lily pad…
——– ————- ———– ————-
Every fibre
resonates
the truth
the joy
no matter
what the words
All is permeated
sound embodied
