i feel an abiding sense of calm out by the lakeside of bahir dar i traveled very far to get to these shores there’s something to this quality of light that streams through the treetops and catches fire i’d be a liar with the future foretold but you can’t make this up mistakenly taken for a stranger by a lover you gave me quite enough to draw upon later after all of this is over remember when you opened up to him love is to fight the lion he said music is everywhere he said that even as the trees move, even as the waters move you you just keep on walking and walking he said that you can’t make this up mistakenly taken for a stranger by a lover you gave me quite enough to draw upon later after all of this is over i know some disturbance will come my way sure as the moonlight pulls the waves across the surface of the lake but far below where sound of mind dares not go the aqueous masters fast and pray waiting for the day when i come home when i come home, leave the lights on you must wake up but if you please, could you make the bed i feel so tired in my body but my heart and my soul want to know what lies ahead but you can’t make this up mistakenly taken for a stranger by a lover you gave me quite enough to draw upon later after all of this is over

love, come through me, flesh out my figure with vibrating light because i want to feel you inside these luminous clouds of “I” take me over wholly, gold in the belly, unfold in the eye stand forth little star of the north and guide me home every little particle arisen from the sleep of the deepest dream kaleidoscopes colliding in the vision, spilling out from behind the seen tear me out another page from your book i can read as the sun dips low i’m gonna pass through this fire and purify my structures in the molten glow love, come through me, flesh out my figure with vibrating light

Digging 02:55
i’m alone in the old old confines of fasiladis’ bath and i’m looking to pass the time till my lesson in the ways of the past i’m surrounded by these well preserved ruins that i got to myself i think when things fall apart we can see the foundations and fortunes they’ve held when we come to these places we can’t help but stop digging direct inquiry into naturally expiring eons beyond the known when we come to the bottom and we look straight up into vaulted crumbling ceilings of angelic design we find the time is right now my bajaj is waiting and i must go and end this peaceful reverie but one day i hope to return to this very same place alone in my memory when we come to these places we can’t help but stop digging direct inquiry into naturally expiring eons beyond the known when we come to the bottom and we look straight up into vaulted crumbling ceilings of angelic design we find the time is right

Shifting spheres that lift me from accustomed costumes postured beneath the mango tree I felt a warm fall into me and it lingers as the subcontinent recedes I wonder how to carry all I want to be when nothing’s fixed I arrived to frigid irises but persevere there's a fire to be found Even in the coldest climes time can be so kind and even in the deadest end you can find you can find a friend but if you dress if you dress for the plunging mercury you'll reap an abundance of certainty just remember to strip when you go inside Elevator take me to the sparkling city petty theft of lovers tears is commonplace it's no crime here but in the book is written sins of omission the same as though you blame your health on icy breath you tell yourself there's nothing left up on the shelf to keep you in the clear but in the closet you shake the jacket of its dust Even in the coldest climes time can be so kind and even in the deadest end you can find you can find a friend but if you dress if you dress for the plunging mercury you'll reap an abundance of certainty just remember to strip when you go inside

lover, would you undergo this procedure would you compensate for the lull in the lion’s share and innards why do you undulate under cover of night because this tossing and turning has brought me to the brink of despair Stand vigil over this roaring drought pouring out of a sordid corpuscular past this cadaver sports a coat of splintered glass oh great canyon can you carry the weight of the fluvial fortunes the diluvian epoch beckons from the grave what's come before is dead and gone with the winners and losers alike and the future ain't yet born of our burning breath to test this hypothesis rests on a leap that the faithful they readily make but I, for one, just want to give it a rest Mr. Major, would you underwrite my next nine tries each alibi undermining the silvery goal Mr. Major, the governing body has got such a grip on the pipelines that I fear I can't shake it's hold little Savior, where were you when I came to be conveniently culled from the ether, the slivers of sun your behavior, so abstruse for the better part of the life I've lived thus far the seekers roots looms large a distant star what's come before is dead and gone with the winners and losers a like and the future ain't yet born of our burning breath to test this hypothesis rests on a leap that the faithful they readily make but I for one just want to give it a rest Going in I know I am what's come before is dead and gone with the winners and losers a like and the future ain't yet born of our burning breath to test this hypothesis rests on a leap that the faithful they readily make but I for one just want to give it a rest lover, do you underlie these covers fine subtly demurring all the time and lover, do you underpin this house of mine and can I see you once again when I lose my eyes

I'm coming to shower you with love It's been a long long time since I felt your eyes caress my soaring soul undressed and mornings light interminably old but baby if you feel that pull of time don't you mind for I'm coming to shower you with love And you are far away across the mountain tops and the valleys low we moved into each other suffused with dawn’s pale glow but baby if you feel that distance now don't you frown for I'm coming to shower you with love soon we will find all we found and more splayed across the desert floor held together by centripetal force time is shrinking distances collapse gazing up into the apse I'm drawing nearer to your meaning once more So breath deep tonight into expanded space into infinite time for I’m coming to shower you with love

When in paradise do as the paradisians do when in paradise alight to a higher ground as the eagle flies milking the thermals and poised to collide we've got the luckiest eyes in the whole wide world We’ll be running so wild and free child come to me I hold the key you must be thirsty come drink with me child don't worry the well is deep Let your family know that you're safe in the eye of the storm let your family grow to encompass every form with your love in tow sway in the hammock way up in the sky we've got the pluckiest heartstrings that you can find We’ll be running so wild and free child come to me I hold the key you must be thirsty come drink with me child don't worry the well is deep

Nonsense 03:36
Just a little quickie before I go to bed just a little outpouring of sticking to your guns once begun can't come undone I mustn't try I can't keep my cortex courting lies my neurons degrade and hierarchies arching rainbows radiating in flattering tufts from my titillated tendons ending with the engines and down down into vast subterranean chasms several hundred fathoms of fathers holding heavy lidded wunderkinds feet to the fire irascible bullies bellowing they can't stomach undertaker’s ire and stopping halfway through the stream of conscious flooding is there any value to nonsense I couldn't float a flock of fidgeting fibers but I'll try to assign meaning once again Is there any value to this lens i’ll flow it slowly watch the motor smote another as I try to assign meaning once again I feel misfortune like a filmy web cast around my sunshine flying momentarily through treetops teetering on the brink of shrinking coastlines to be swallowed by the swindled masses to be fingered by the forgers past attempts attendant on the wrong interpretation interpolated visitations of sentient sidewinders with a penchant for mischief and pensioners smile is there any value to nonsense I couldn't float a flock of fidgeting fibers but I'll try to assign meaning once again Is there any value to this lens i’ll flow it slowly watch the motor smote another as I try to assign meaning once again What can I be said to understand I'll make a mockery of my vague attempts at lockdown as I try to assign meaning once again

Sarah you showed me there's magic in the metro I had just about given up on the underground people hold themselves so tight deprived of natural light but you brought sunshine with a kind word about my sound you ascended I was right behind on our way to find a little piece to call our own for the next hour and when you begin to play I say magnificent mais en français and say and you said très bien and that was when I realized that we had enter inside a loop to lift each other up so give me your hands and lets synchronize let's make time stand still tonight Sarah you've known me for just a little while but do you also feel like we're old old friends because your smile wrapped up in your scarf well it cut through cold and it Cut through dark and it woke me up at dawn as I lay in bed these things don't happen every day like when kant read rousseau and he had to change his ordinary path for something new I’ve just a little Time left here but for me it's becoming abundantly clear that I'd love to spend a little time with you and that was when I realized that we had enter inside a loop to lift each other up so give me your hands and let’s synchronize let's make time stand still tonight

We're moving our limbs to the rhythms we're slinking on down to the sand we're dancing like the ghost like the wind in the trees oh my brother won't you give me a hand sister I hope that you're feeling is free won't you come tangle in the sun with me we're moving our limbs to the rhythms We are grooving on what we've been given we’re Stumblin onto the roots the truth flutters down like a tumbling leaf oh my brother won't you give me a proof sister did you know that you can see to the sea want you come spiral up of the one with me I said we're Groovin on what we've been given

All Along 03:02
Words won't work to say how it felt to awake on the 15th floor as the Birdsong poured into our open window mingled with the thousand names of the divine mother and you're sleeping face glowed with peaceful sunshine frozen in time I tried them to tell you somehow I'll try now with this song but I take solace knowing that you've known all along And hugs can't help but feel a little limited by the confines of our physical bodies but that didn't stop me from seeking your embrace every day and even to stare into your eyes as I felt the love was somehow imperfect but it sure was worth it just to share a little of what I got inside

Let Me Rest 03:30
I feel intoxicated by the days long deprivation as I moved through sunsets squeezed into machines that defy expectation every permutation sits a little belated and my organ sings let me rest I can't go on like this let me guess your secret peeking into dreams let me slip away I won't see the day but I got your secret to sing me to sleep oh my love you are wet upon my brow and your streaming down little old me I'm running out see I'm a horrible mess ever since I guessed your one little secret in my organs sing let me rest I can't go on like this let me guess your secret peeking into dreams let me slip away I won't see the day but I got your secret to sing me to sleep
13.
Draw Me In 03:13
Open up your eyes and take it in set the space and let's begin spread your page rough out my lines the rainbow lathe cutting fine oh won't you draw in my love now taking form so light and loose your grip upon the firm stylus size me up and lay me down I'll bare it all without a sound oh won't you draw in my love the final stroke colors explode the image fixed eternal now oh won't you draw in my love Open up your eyes and take it in set the space and let's begin
