1 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Lizard
Your internal power to rebirth You’re the magical creature to your own survival Like a lizard you are good-luck with your sneaky ways Your good night vision protects against the unseen thing in life
When you crossed my path my attention was on you I knew then I was blessed by the divine powers that be, it seems You’re of every colour imaginable to my life Such a lizard can be found all over the world But there you were on my path
Some are territorial, others easily live with others Which of the two are you Are you a social lizard Will you shed your skin with me
Night lizard you’re my kind of everything I shine the light on you and I see right through you You turn me on with the way you move Dance closer to me
As anyone ever cared for what you like You generate the life in me You’re most visible in the night light Lizard you easily see left and right You saw me coming, you see us coming
From any direction lizard I’m yours Tonight and forever Come dance with me, come closer You’re the folklore of my story
I love you so, my night lizard Come closer, give me life

2 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Cat Talk
You wake me every morning with your cat talk You sit with me when I’m sad You wait for me by the window You’re cat talk greets me the moment I walk in You mean every word You’re always honest You’re always there
Cat talk is never misleading Cat talk tells me what you want me to hear Cat talk means something to you and me
What do you really do when I’m not home What do you think when you’re on your own What do you feel when there’s no cat talk
Cat talk is how you’ve learned to talk to me But I know you just by the way you sit, by the way you look at me I know you without the cat talk I know you as you are I know you as you
Cat talk is not for the faint hearted Cat talk is for the listener Cat talk only when necessary Cat talk only when something to say
Cat talk, I’m honoured you’re talking to me

3 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Love Dance
I walked along this distant road Never been before, never knew was there I saw a light in the distance glittering between the trees I followed the path to the light There I found birds dancing in the sun A love dance they said it was
A love dance only seen in the sunlight A love dance only felt in the light A love dance only danced when in the light
I walked along this distant road It looked familiar, it felt familiar I saw a figure up ahead I walked towards it, it walked towards me There I was standing in front of me
I held me in my arms for a slow dance I danced me here and there along the road The love dance I said we were dancing I looked around and there we were amongst a crow
A love dance in my own arms A love dance to just hold myself A love dance to hold myself in the vision of what I want, Of what I want to be
I walked along a distant road So familiar this road I knew I was walking home I walked alone with no one or anything in sight
It was the first time I felt love I knew I was not alone or had ever been alone I love danced my way home I love danced my life from this moment on

4 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Daisy
Daisy you look so fine So gentle you are You seem so common But you’re not alone You’re family of colour covers this field This field of battle so many have seen I watched you bend in the wind I lay next to you
Daisy at my hands and feet I rest my head on you Daisy, you saw me fall You saw me go to sleep
Daisy, crushed beneath my bleeding body I felt your warmth I saw you looking at me
Daisy, so many bodies drape this field Not one common No two the same
Daisy, you drank my tears New daisies, new field Daisy, life goes on

5 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Lune
I see you looking at me every night Sometime I see you face in the light of day In your eclipse a right balance is struck My Lune you set my mood I’m drawn to you No lunacy in the realm of our reality
Lune so full of life, not dry and dead You’re crest in your north, south, east and west Lune of harvest for life Lune a place to rest
You circle my world Not once but twice You came to me in the night Lune you sat at my window and shone bright You let me sleep in your light
Lune you lit up my path You showed me the way to walk in the darkest of nights I found my way through the forest There in your light all was right
Lune of the night fairies, wave up at you They jump from star to star to greet you I see you looking at me every night My Lune, my lunacy is meant to be
My Lune, in the light of your shadow This too can be, what better contrast than lunacy To see the light of the one and only Lune in the sky My Lune, your full and bright What else is there to see

6 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Étoile
It seems I come from you It seems we, all life comes from you Étoile so close and yet so far How many lifetimes will it take before I reach this light
I’ve traveled alone all of my life Sometimes I see, sometimes I don’t I’ve forgotten to look up for you In the darkest of skies I could not see you
Étoile, I’m to wish upon you Twinkle twinkle they say to you Étoile Yet no wish comes true but life continues Twinkle twinkle Étoile Where are you
Étoile you take so many shapes In your celestial sphere you become many I see animals and creatures You even dip a little or a lot
Sometimes Étoile you show me the hunter, the twin and the bull Étoile, where am I in this celestial design Twinkle twinkle Étoile Sometimes you fall Does your light go out
Étoile, twinkle twinkle in this grand design With your angel-like wings So bright you rain down on me I wish upon Étoile I wish upon Étoile I seek balance where I see you You embrace notable stars On the equator of my life I wish upon Étoile

7 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Pride
It’s so easy to be all that you can be It’s so funny when others tell you who you are It’s so prideful they say when you do what’s right for you It’s pride they say when they see you in your bliss
You smile and are happy when you talk How prideful you are I say be proud of who you are Be proud of what you accomplished for you Be proud of you no matter what others say
Pride is but a place to be just for you Pride is for you to see you through what others want to put you through Pride is the bridge of life to step from here to there Pride is a blessing of loving you
Soar into this world with your head up high Others will do their best to crash you down and smash your head into the ground Let them smash their own heads into the ground Their own words believed for you are meant for them They believe they harm you or show you what’s right Hmm, pride protects you in the knowing of who you are
Thank them for showing you that you are strong Thank them for the contrast they showed you Thank them for all that you know is prideful Amen to me and you
Be proud, and pride your way into this world Loving you is the best place to be Pride is the easy way of being you Pride for the love you and the love of others Pride of self, proud of others

8 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Rainbow
It’s where I want to be in the heart of the rainbow In the right sequence of colours throughout my arch of life So long as I blend into me I’m free There’s a pot of gold at the begin, middle and end There’s no ending to all dreams
Rainbow of life to show me the way I see you ahead and behind You rise high above me to give me somewhere to reach
Rainbow in the sky, rainbow in my heart All the same, I walk my way in and around you So long as I blend into me I’m free I take my suitcase and off I go I follow my rainbow coloured road I conquer all that’s ahead of me
Rainbow in the night sky I see you here so bright Rainbow of my life is where I want you to be I see you where I decide to see Rainbow after the rain I see you as you are
Take all the time you need to come to me I wait for you before and after the rain I watch you form into the ray of life for all to see Rainbow of life you are the same rainbow at death You are always there Just in a different light can I see you Just in a different light can anyone see anyone
Rainbow of life you are always there Chose the light from which to see I take my pot of gold with me where ever I go
Rainbow of life I just want to sit here For a while, you and me Rainbow of life

9 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Diamond
Deep from the belly of the earth I am found I am found in stars I am found all around You smile at me as I sparkle back at you I’m the diamond you find so beautiful But you don’t really know where I come from I’m a promise of love and hope I’m a promise of so many dreams I’m the diamond from this earth
Diamond from the land that is wild Diamond from a land that is pure Diamond from a place that is whole
I am found to beautify What is left behind when I am found You can have me but with balance How is this reached
Whose hand did it come from Whose life did it come from Diamond from a land of cries Diamond from a land of blood Diamond of despair Diamond of conflict Diamond of the free Can the two really be
Where do I come from I’m a diamond in the rough To be polished and beautified I’m in a place to dangle Then put away To raise me, I’m locked away To showcase me, you show me off I’m diamond from a place that no long is Diamond of promise for so many

10 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Cherry
I stand in the sea of no beginning and no end The land is not far nor is it near This great big world of life all around They say it’s better with a cherry on top The cherry of life to be found all around
Sometimes I find I’ve no where to go Sometimes I find there’s too many choices Cherry cola Cherry ice cream Cherry on top Cherry on top of life
Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Cherry on top of life Where do I go on with this
Cherry land of rock n roll Time takes me all around from here to there I look on to this world with hope I seek the cherry on top
Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Is there such a world with a cherry on top Is there such a place now or even a future It seems to me we can seek for what we can create right now
Step away from your back against the wall Share the bowl of cherries The orchard is ready to be plucked Take a handful of cherries and rejoice
Wait for nothing to say when we can have a life with a cherry on top Don’t kill another you and me Don’t kill another moment for such a day The cherry tree is bending as far down as it can just for you Receive the life of cherry harvest
Cherry on top Hmm, Whoa, Whoa La, la, la

11 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Funny
Funny how life turned out for you and me Some things came to be others not Far in the distance of life things discovered Some funny some not We can laugh now But there was a time there was no laughter It was not funny to you, to be me
What came to be, only you can say Only I can say what came to be in my reality Funny seemed to be over rated Now funny is funny How funny can life be
While others laugh, see all of life as funny Others cry, see all of life as tears, that’s a reality Life goes on and on, funny or not Funny, isn’t it, how life turns out for you and me
Funny for me, not funny for you Now sometimes that can be funny I laugh, you say stupid joke Now that’s funny This makes the world go round, funny or not
It’s so easy to laugh out loud at something that is funny Sometimes there’s nothing funny and we still laugh out loud How can this be Is this funny What a funny world we live in Funny how life turned out for you and me, and we live in the same world We live on the same planet Is this funny, or not

13 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Buddha Smile
So much cause to smile instead of crying So much cause to fill your hearts with love instead of hate So much cause to love one another instead of killing each other Smile as the Buddha smile’s Buddha smile so bright and soft Big belly laugh to heal the soul Big belly laugh to heal your heart
Buddha smile at my grave, I’ll have it no other way Buddha smile when I cry, I’ll see you no other way Buddha smile for a long happy life, now you can join me Hmm, La, La, La, Buddha smile is free
All smiles are free, hmm, La, La, La, You give some, you take some, Whoa, La, La, La C’est la vie to be sad and life is hard they Hmm, La, La, I say no, Buddha smile instead, come here instead C’est la vie to be joyful, something new I know Buddha smile, so simple, not new
Hmm, La, La, La La vie est belle with a Buddha smile Big belly laugh for all of us Together big smiles makes for a better world for you and me Buddha smile is a Freddie Mercury smile Now that’s a smile Whoa, La, La, La

14 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Silver lining
Is this a tragedy or the silver lining in the story Is this real life, reality to the world around I look up at the sky to see what’s around me I’m just me seeking for absolution To me the death of me is the silver lining in all of my life Life has just begun never have thrown anything away This time tomorrow I will be no more but a spec of dust in the soil I will have grown into me for the first time I will have lived for me and no other To you that will be the death me To me that is the silver lining in the life you have afforded me I didn’t want to die while still alive
I stand in the silhouette of my life My silver lining of life I stand away from your shadow I’ve committed my crimes against me I’ve sinned only against myself and no other No, No, No, don’t take this one as your life to bear
You can’t stop me from ending this life You can see me bask in the silver lining of this dark cloud You can leave me to die while I’m still alive I’m no fool to you, even though you see me as so All life is but a moment I intent to embrace without your orders Nothing really matters unless it means something to me The wind blew me into my silver lining of this stormy cloud
No one sits in my shadow I set for myself To seek such a real life is seeking a fantasy you desire Seek it with all your might, it is where the sliver lining resides Some things will seem easy to come by, others not Let it go, don’t try so hard, all will come
I just killed myself today I refused to die while I’m still alive All life has a silver lining All breath for life is a sliver lining Escape from the false reality of a world unknown to you The silver lining in this story is absolution you seek
Sit in a pool of pity for only so long I didn’t mean to make myself cry It’s too late for anything new to come Silver lining of this infectious pool of life What was I born from I’m neither a small or big person I’m the lead actor of my own life I wrote the script to curtain close
Oh life let me go before I die while I’m still alive I sought the silver lining when you spit in my eye

15 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Lightning
I’m crazy about you, I’m crazy about you Oh ya this is the way I feel for you baby You’re the lightning bolt in my heart I’m drunk on the love for you The lightning bolt in my heart is just fine
I say baby you’re destined to be mine I love you so You’re the lightning bolt in my heart Oh baby, no point in standing around Come dance with me and get crazy with me
Oh, ya, hmm, ya, hmm, hmm I’m going to waste no time When lightning strikes its time to strike Right now for you and me You make we weak in the knees I’ll fall on my face for you any day darling
Hmm, oh darling, you have all my tenderness You’re the lightning bolt in my heart While I’m here waiting you have all my tenderness This is not just sentimental words to woo your soul I love you so, the love of my life Lightning only strikes once I don’t plan on wasting this
Oh darling, I catch your light in my hand My tender heart hit hard with your lightning bolt through my soul No weary words between us Lightning bolt through my soul, oh what a feeling I never want to let go
Call on me for all you need Lightning only strikes once Look how we laugh so much I’m so in love with you Lightning only strikes once And I’m glad it was you

16 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Not Much To Say
Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, La, La The field of battle is cleared of life All bodies dismantled and left to rot How beautiful this spring day Not much to say so long as we live this way
Speeches, senates, and rulers Not much to say in the way of peace and love Hmm, Whoa, La, La Hmm, Whoa, La, La Riots, debates, and insults Not much to say for harmony
How far we’ve come How far we’ve fallen Take away the lies What lies beneath silenced hearts When bound to speak no more Not much to say for the fallen Not much to say when imprison
Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Not long ago I couldn’t speak Not long ago I couldn’t vote I had not much to say for hate and war I had not much to say for deceit and pride
Feeling of despair in the light of tomorrow No man, woman or child could speak For all tongues were cut out There was not much say for a new day
Hmm, La, La, La Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa La, La, La I have not much to say for letting this go on I have not much to say on anything but love and peace I have not much to say on anything but harmony for you and me

17 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Stay With Me
I want to find my way home with you But it’s not what you want Want you all to myself like a child with a toy But you say meet someone new Want you to climb the highest mountains with me But you walk the other way in the valley We’ve gone this way before Do we need to do this again
Stay with me for longer this time Stay with me for love this time Stay with me, stay with me Stay with me because its what you want again
One day we’ll talk again and understand what we didn’t But it’s not what you want When you turn from me all the time I’m cold and lonely But you never ask me about how I’m doing You don’t know anything else You don’t even want to know I want to know you in these times, sit with you and hold your hand I want to do what lovers do in the moonlight But you do this with someone new Do we need to do this again
Stay with me for longer this time Stay with me for love this time Stay with me, stay with me Stay with me because its what you want again
I want to be in your heart, know you in these times I want to love you so easily But you embrace someone new Do we need to do this again

18 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Let Me Go
Is this the life for me, will there be nothing else Behind these bars and bound with chains Open your eyes to the world you created for me I’m just a Being like you, I need what you need Because I don’t read like you, speak like you Live differently then you do, I’m still life, and alive It’s not the way things have always been
Human Being, I am Animal Being Holding me captive does not make you whole Killing me does not make you strong You put a gun to my head because I just killed a man I was left with no choice to take this life You gave it freely when you came after mind But for now I’m of value to you, somehow You take my child and cut off my hands To some you cut off their face to steal their tusks, This is just some of the things you do
It’s not too late, the time has not come Let me go into the world as I should be Let yourself go into this world in harmony with Animal Being Let me go away from chains and all human constraints I see the soul in you that wants this so I see the fear in you that fights what you think you can’t let go Let me go and follow our herd See a different way forward for you and me
I see our silhouette side by side Caught up in love, in co-existence for the first time in humanity But I’m just Animal Being who doesn’t feel, who doesn’t think I’m just instinct you say, what do I know Let me go in my world and follow our herd Let me go in our world and do something new Let me go in this lifetime, the next generation will see how it’s done
You think you can hold me without any change to me, or you I cry like you, Human Being I am Being, life in my form Let me go to live my life This is how you will live your best life

19 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Release Me
Release me from this darkness, the light taken away I was well until you came into my life filled with hopes and aspirations In doing so you forgot the cost to your life You fell out of harmony with yourself and then me and all other Animal Beings It’s not me you want to fill your belly with, your wallet and your life It’s you that you seek to fill this void
Release me from your bondage of your vision of what’s needed to live Release me from your way of believing this is necessary to evolve Release me from your fears of feeling all this is required Release me from you entirely so you can free yourself into the life you desire
I walk this earth as you do, for the same reason as you do I have a life to live, a life to give, my own existence to fulfill You have no part in it, as I have no part in yours We do coexist where we find the harmony Release me from you, Only when you’re in harmony with yourself can we be in harmony with each other Release me from your idea of consumerism Release me for all man kind Release me for the well-being of humanity
Cash in your chips to the world you created Open your mind and your heart to new solutions You can have all you desire without any destruction Re-plant, bring back life as the ultimate goal This is possible, when you believe it so Release me and you into this world
Release me for your life depends on it When all is said and done, all Animals don’t need Humans to live This earth provides us with all that we need You my dear Human friend – you only live because mother nature Take her away, release me before it’s too late Release me because only your life depends on it

20 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Cranberry
So bright this day of new ideas and life to live The day has begun and the world is awakening No one gets to run away or hide away You’ve taken all you can and left little or nothing behind Got what you came for Mother nature shows what you need
Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, It’s all in front of you, but you’ve got one cranberry field left Cranberry field for the masses When you’re in need of food it provides you with all that you need Hmm, La, La, La, Cranberry field for the masses When you’re left with what you left behind and all hope is lost Look to your cranberry field for the life it provides From the birds, to the insect and where the water goes All will be right
Now it’s a new day Some bellies are full, some are empty Only a crop away You tried to find some other way but mother nature showed you again As a matter of survival, she helped you again You’re getting used to life without demands in your own way Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa
It’s all in front of you, but you’ve got one cranberry field left Cranberry field for the masses When you’re in need of food it provides you with all that you need Cranberry field for the masses When you’re left with what you left behind and all hope is lost Look to your cranberry field for the life it provides From the birds, to the insect and where the water goes All will be right
Cranberry field for the masses When you’re in need of food it provides you with all that you need Cranberry field for the masses Look to your cranberry field for the life it provides From the birds, to the insect and where the water goes All will be right Whoa, Whoa, La, La,

21 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Violin
Dancing through life with a violin There is no black or white in this world We fight for an existence given to all of us Some take what is not there’s to take Other’s give what is not there’s to give A world filled with music of a violin We can stomp our feet to the beat We can sit back and rejoice in the melody
The world of the violin Only wood and strings needed to make such music To breath in its life directly to the soul Oh violin, love of my life So peaceful and so fun Such gentle strings of life and yet so strong You guide me home There’s no going wrong with you by my side
Violin, you’ve traveled the world Sooth so many souls Found many homes Yet, you always found your way back to a world that needs you To find you in a place where there’s no sound Where there’s no music Violin, back in my arms
There’s no going wrong with you by my side I know where I belong when I’m with you Violin, you’ve shared in my every dream We’ve lived on the street We’ve lived in the finest of castles We’ve lived in the grandest of theatres Violin, you were always with me How you survived How we survived such a wonderful journey
No two day or night the night same Violin, you have seen it all with me Violin, love of my life

22 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Thunder
You played with my heart, with every bit of my emotions You killed me with the pounding of my soul How you brought me to my knees So thunderous you are, you’re heart of thunder You felt so close, yet all this time you were miles away like thunder No justification for your heart of thunder
Baby your heart of thunder brought me to my knees So easily seduced So easily I laid down my soul for you The storm around you, I adored Like thunder you moved all around me
I was caught in such a storm In the heat of your passion for me, I thought Baby your heart of thunder brought me to my knees When I saw you, you were so out of reach Never to be truly touched by you But affected by you, your heart of thunder
So close and yet so far, you were always out of reach Heart of thunder, I felt every beat I chased the storm, and left stranded in the field of dangerous love Baby your heart of thunder brought me to my knees Alone in my deep desire, I felt I would die without you How you made me feel, I believed
Such sweet words dripped from those lips Had I seen it was the beginning of the thunderous storm I was mesmerised, in love with what I believed I saw in front of me I didn’t know I was in they eye of storm
Baby your heart of thunder brought me to my knees Hmm, Whoa, Whoa

23 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Heard this Before
Come on, you think I haven’t heard this before You tell me you love me and then you say you’ll stay Tomorrow baby you’ll be gone I’ve been hear before How can anything change when you do the same thing All the time, it’s the same song and dance with you I’ve heard this before baby
Sooner or later something will give between you and me You say you’ve heard this before My darling, my love is grand for you but how can we go on like this It’s all but smoke and mirrors The lies we tell ourselves
I’ve heard this before You don’t say or do anything anymore I’ve heard this before Baby, can we dance to a different tune Oh darling, I’ve heard it all before
Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm, Darling It’s all but this one life we live and lets make it nicer between us I’ve heard this all before For the sake of one day of peace between us Lets stop hurting each other I’ve heard it all before We’ve done all we could to each other Instead of just loving each other
Oh darling, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa I’ve heard it all before What more can be said and done Can we just love each other instead

24 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Call Of The Wild
It was all I could do Answer the call of the wild I was off in a flash and never returned I yearned for air in my lung I yearned for life in my body The call of the wild is all I could hear
I ventured to all parts of the world I sought great feats, and conquered them all I reached for the stars and touched every one The call of the wild fuelled my soul I claimed my own life What a life I lived
Day after day I listed for the call of the wild Call of the wild is all I wanted Call of the wild captured my essence I was all I could be I was me, so wild and free My soul at peace
I’m wrinkled and grey now I still listen for the call of the wild I still yearn for air in my lungs, and life in my body The call of the wild is still all I can hear Every day is a new beginning I’m still me, wild and free
They say I don’t have much longer How silly they are I’m listening for the call of the wild My journey never ends, only fools believe this is so Call of the wild, touched my life, my world Call of the wild, I am always what I want to be

25 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Blood Soul
Take me anywhere you want to go Leave no traces behind Here or there, makes no difference Watch out for your step, someone is not watching You scream in the night
Blood soul, who’s tormenting you There’s something hiding in the shadows Blood soul, watch out for who you can’t see Blood soul, watch out, your night is long Alone in your darkness The blood of your soul drips in your eye
Scream all you want, no one can hear you In the long dark tunnel of your life, what do you see What’s been seen before, you’re blood soul, it drips all around What have you done to it You’ve taken out your heart, was it worth it No point in crying, no one is watching No one cares
Blood soul, the wound is too deep, so what can be done It’s a cold night, you can’t feel much You’ve taken this too far Watch out for what you’ve done Blood soul, no point in looking back Take a step forward Wrap your hands around you dripping soul
Look around, no one is near All souls have left and expect none to return What have you done to make your soul bleed as so Blood soul, you have a long night Take comfort in this knowing of what you’ve done Blood soul, only you can stop this agony

26 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Origin
Carry me on the wings of a dove Or on a magic carpet so I can soar the sky See the world, see where I come from From which stardust do I hail from What imaginary creation have I design for myself
The origin of my life, what can be more divine The origin of my soul, what have I decided The origin of my humanity, what have I acted on
A storm of the cosmos to find life Life always seems to find a way What is the origin of life What is the origin of creation What is the origin of God
The origin of the idea of existence Without anything or anyone, does it still exist Does the rock wonder of it origin Does flowing water look for its source Do we need to know life’s origin to exist
The origin of an original thought Is there such a thing, The origin of sound Is there such a thing, The origin of love Is there such a thing,

27 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Night-light
Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa La, La, La, La, La How lovely you are in the twilight of your life Aglow in the night-light I see you there my lovely Care to dance with me Such a radiant beauty, my lovely
The night-light looks good on you Still risqué in the twilight of our love The night-light awakens you my lovely Carefree in all obscurity
Before dawn spicy senses provokes the night-light In my arms to soon daybreak I’m dreaming of a new day with you my love We live our fantasy Admiration for your afterglow Night-light looks good on you darling
Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa La, La, La, La, La Ablaze my love for you Tenderness of the night-light illuminates my fondness for you Mon amour keeps me in rapture Night-light evokes my sentiments Lustrous affections praise the rising of the moon
Reverence to nightfall lets me cast a shadow Night-light captures the brilliant mood Moonbeam glitters tracing your silhouette on me Streaks of night-light on me, you my lovely Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa La, La, La, La, La
How lovely you are in the twilight of your life My lovely, the night-light looks good on you Hmm, my lovely, my night-light

28 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Elephant Song
Sing with me and know our voices I’m more than what you see I’m well known for what you see Do you see our trumpets raised to the sky
I’m more than what you hear Elephant song roaring through the jungle Elephant song grunting at each other Elephant song barking for conversation Elephant song snorting for pleasure Elephant song crying from a broken heart
I have much to sing about I am Elephant Being with an Elephant Song Look around at what you’ve done I remember you always You forget me tomorrow
So grand my tusks for you cut off my face, To show me off on your mantelpiece Elephant song in your house Can you hear my cries for your forsaken life
All living Beings have a place in humanity Humanity lives in the Animal Kingdom The Animal Kingdom is made up of you and me
Elephant song roaring through your heart Elephant song singing for humanity

29 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Black Man Dead (In Memory of George Floyd and all the Human Beings dead by ignorance and fear)
2nd song of the day
Man on man arrested but not yet quite dead Pleading for life, I would like to breath, once more For me, for my mother, for my life Is this my death sentenced, I did not see this coming I called for help, my voice not heard To frighten, uncertain, fear denies me my life
Black man dead in the arms of guardians Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Black man dead in the face of many Black man dead in a single moment Black man dead in comparison to what could be done differently Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa
I draw compassion to such contrast Differences, disconnection, dissimilarity, unlikeness Unlikeliness of me seeing tomorrow I’m another black man dead, today and tomorrow I’m every man, woman and child, dead, today, and tomorrow Despite my crime, despite my wrong doings, despite all things
Being unknown, being unseen, that’s on all of us Being black, an unusual death sentence, yet popular, too familiar Did you hear me calling for help Where were you, what did you do Where was I in all of this My pleas muffled by ignorance and fear
Black man dead in the arm of guardians Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm, Bystanders terrified, they too couldn’t breath I was lost in the crowd, in the screams to let me breath In the screams so loud could not be heard
Black man dead Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Black man dead, the more I die, the more you die But I choose to let the love in now, my soul lives on in love For the love me, my memory, despite what you remember of me

29 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – What You Feel In My Heart
When you talk of love for me I feel something different Listen to me when I say I’m feeling more than satisfaction Sometimes you say you love me just at the right time This feels like a fleeing moment I want to bottle forever I lose my mind when you say you love me
What you feel in my heart baby is more than words can describe Just let me in for a moment longer instead of my turning away I’m in your heart today and tomorrow what you feel in my heart is something else Let me live in such a moment than just a flash of hope I’m all but a mess, a heartbreak away never to recover
When you walk away I wish you goodbye forever Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart is more than words can describe To where I once was filled with love Never again to see those days Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa
The blues of my heart and soul sing to me on and on It’s my heart you’ve broken over and over again All this love come and gone into a hollow shell of wonder What could have been of all those dreams
Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart lives no more than just a memory I rushed around my soul to capture every moment The glory of our love ripped my soul apart Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa What you feel in my heart baby you cruelly took away
There was no satisfaction in the love letter you left behind There’s no room left in the space you left behind What you feel in my heart is all but a memory Don’t forget what’s been said and done, it’s your heart as well Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa I look away no more baby from what we had
What you feel in my heart was an open door Hmm, Whoa, Hmm, Whoa

30 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – Elephant Magic
Let there be light on the souls of all living Beings Abracadabra, Hmm, La, La, La I create as I speak Let us all create as we speak Do we strive together or do we perish together
Elephant Magic for the young and the old What’s the other magic words --- to realize this dream Pardon me for my ignorance, now I know better, I will do better I’m sorry for not doing anything when I had the power and wisdom to do differently Excuse me for believing I have dominion over life, all life Please accept my apology for killing you in waste and experimenting with you Dominion over you as my duty is to protect you, and not abuse you to for my own end Thank you for accepting me into your kingdom as an equal
Abracadabra, Hmm, La, La, La I endeavour to conjure Elephant Magic Abracadabra, Hmm, La, La, La see disappear before your eyes all justifications But, Because, They, If, I Can’t Elephant Magic allures me into a new and better world Divination through gentle atonement and love of self
The power of the occult of Elephant Beings and All Animal Beings Sorcery in its eloquent and wise incantation of invoking Elephant Magic Abracadabra, Hmm, La, La, La What power you have over Human Hearts Exorcising ourselves from our own evils, fear of our own love for self and others
Calling on all the power of Elephant Magic Bewitch us to save our souls Remember us better than we were

31 May 2020 Song/Poem of the Day – The Flame Inside Me
My sacred way to rock n roll music inside me I sing to the Gods of drums, electric guitar and on and on No more melancholy blues melodies The flame inside me lights my way to my rock n roll soul
Whoa, Whoa, Ya, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Hear my lyrics, more than just words Clean that needle and wipe that vinyl So gentle they touch, so magnificent the sound
Together the flame inside me, my rock n roll soul So young, so old, no matter, the flame shines bright Whoa, Whoa, Ya, Hmm, Whoa, Whoa The flame inside me blows my mind
It amazes me, oh ya, to shine in the light of rock n roll The best things in life, this one so simple, yet so refine The flame inside me resonates on my piano The flame inside me jumps out of the drums The flame inside me springs from the guitar
Are you mesmerised yet, so seductive, Ya, Hmm, Whoa Catch the sound in your hand Feel the hmmmmm in your body What a ride, like a ride in a fast car
Blow yourself a kiss, raise your arms in the air Feel the flame inside me, inside such a small space So big the aura, so grand, so bright the rock n roll inside me The flame inside me, here I stand and see everything
It’s a new day with the flame inside me No matter if you don’t understand, it’s a rock n roll feeling All good, you can come to know this love for rock n roll This flame inside me, Hmm, Whoa, La, La, La
