SURF BURIAL
From rock to coast to cove
In quiet reefs we stow
Cold did pass the wave
In silence though we stay
Then silence too did swell
And warmed a place to tell
You were of combined effort, perfect merit so you’ll stay
We offer from wide measure appreciation for you friend
In our hopes our wish we carried this till now
To our host you drift our comfort is not far
Ghosts give rise below
The darkness helps to show
In close gather beneath
Stars their vigil keep
Light begins to break
Into a deep you fade
You were of combined effort, perfect merit so you’ll stay
We offer from wide measure appreciation for you friend In our hopes our wish we bear witness till now
To our host you drift our comfort is not far

TRUST ME
Trust me I’m more than just things I say
Trust me I’ve fallen in love again
Before there was a boy there was a lady
Another truth’s another story told as plainly
I’ve come to view you as a source and my baby
I hope the proof is in my voice
The more I get to know you I see changes
When I change the way I see what I see changes
It’s my truth I see no choice I see changes
I hope the proof is in my voice

Forgive

FORGIVE
Oh night oh fire
I defend I desire
Fire I surrender
Oh malice oh mercy
I’ve tempted I’ve thirst
Fortune I’ve doubt
These our servants want to lend themselves
Free not burdened I once myself felt
I’ll seek not further outside but inside dwell
To feast to serve is to’ve forgiven oneself if no one else If no one else
I swallowed fire I feed demons
Followed pride blind from fear I run
Burned hollow the house that I sleep in
Underfeed the mouths that need healing
I guarded the darkness I harvest from
Fathered and starved out the weaker son
But I forgive and I’m forgiven

LOWLIGHT
Lowlight, war bride, ghost, kind soul
I hold no one so I chose
Rise moon, fall night
Shine new, unhide
Low I spoke it so I chose

CEASED
Someday for some it’s a freedom from pain
Someday it may be the same as no change
Someday it may be as soon as it’s late
Cease to pray blind an eye
Slam your hand on to the knife
Sometimes souls fly
Either way he’ll be fine
To his grace or to this life
Sometimes souls fly
Talk to me crazy
Walk to me, face me
As offering, in praise, to free In harmony fall in place
In earth’s embrace, combine

SOLOMON’S MARBLES
This is your journey for me not mine
This is your body for me not mine
I will take all I receive and find
All I favor all I hide
All discriminate in kind
All I listen or I try
All that’s given shape abides
This is your journey for me not mine
This is your body for me not mine
I will savor glory and shame as thine
All I’ve saved to say and swallowed
All I pushed away all who I blamed have followed
All I wait for all I pride
All I chase I mistake for mine
All that stayed it stayed behind through all I’ve named
To share the blame, the pride too

REWARD
Oh did the sea burst in a mighty swell
So did our captain come to in spite of himself
Half of our forty were at odds with him still
Half were for lovely virgin gold, Reward
Fast though our course began wonder soon waned
Passions performed so too did soon turn plain
Slow by our count to possess or prove to compare
Slow were the fountains to bestow Reward
I fought a fever fought to keep what I captured
Struggle I believed promised feast to me fastest
Long lived the resistance our labor alone
Long was our bliss when we let go, Reward
Out of the fire and into the firelight we rise
Out of the fire grows a rose
Inseparable fear and hope
It’s for patience I fought

HOOVER DAM
It was the loneliest day for the River Colorado
All of her people red and white were blue
They who served the same God, country and terrain
Their terrain won’t look the same for long
It was the holiest river west of the Hebrew highlands
Now a municipal resource to reclaim
So it would remain by eminent domain
But the people could not remain where they were for long
You can sandblast a land mass turn it into a pillar of salt
You can make a dead fish twitch with an electrode in its heart
Just because you can does not make it God’s plan
If the Hoover Dam does stand it stands before God
Out with the rocks and the trees and the loose dirt underneath
The village streets the church steeple and all the townspeople
Let the tremble of machines make room for a desert lake
If you think you can spare our land for a monument to man
So too the souls of the perverts at the U.S.D.O.I. cannot be saved
You can sandblast an island turn it into a pillar of salt
You can make a dead fish twitch with an electrode in its heart
Just because you can does not make it God’s plan
If the Hoover Dam does stand it stands before God
