Another Voice
words & music by Ken Clinger
concept by Craig Conley
haze surrounding clouding vision
has it always been this way
a memory of some connection
far beyond what i can see
something missing beyond senses
something that’s a part of me
reaching out past comprehension
beyond familiarity
intuition beyond reason
suggestion to communicate
calling out to what is missing
attempting to relieve the wait
opening to reach the other
beyond darkness shroud i greet
welcoming to all that makes complete
opening to reach the other
beyond darkness shroud i greet
welcoming to all that makes complete
repetition of my calling
my own voice beyond control
echo of my desperation
reflecting soul’s own call to soul
something beyond comprehension
hinting at another view
alternative to explanation
another voice is breaking thru
it is me yet it is not me
answer from another light
filling in the incomplete
replacing darkness with delight
another voice combined with mine
a poignant pleasure harmony
belies illusion of the split
as soul regains its unity.

Colors
music 1995 by Ken Clinger
lyrics 2000 by Ken Clinger
aquamarine and goldenrod
touches of midnight blue
scarlet and sea green, feldspar, purple
spectrographic hue
colors delight their beauties excite
rainbows reflecting wavelength patterns
chromatic vision mixture precision
complement review
mandarin orange and indian red and
blue of the summer sky
flowers and feathers glow
pleasures visible to the eye
turquoise and olive copper and orchid
scarlet and forest green
messages from beyond
future worlds soon to be seen
difference in wavelength each to its own strength
lightness and chroma hue distinguish
primary colors millions of others
light rays passing thru
empowered vision tonal precision
sensitive light receiving answers
successive contrast images last
yellow become blue
scarlet and violet silver and rosette
prisms delight in love
empathy from above showing
bliss we recognize
gold and magenta, pink and sienna
pouring into our sight
grateful we join the light
tender joy from our eyes

microwave parroting (1999)
concept by craig conley
music and lyrics by ken clinger
deep beneath the feathers, dwells a consciousness intact
memories of amazon. the jungle world of past
dwelling in this northern clime, a solitary life
a solitary parrot, lonely quiet for its plight
humans come and humans go, but they make no impression
daydreams in the silence, as time makes its own progression
but something in the here and now, is calling for attention
another room, a microwave, demanding intervention
(beep beep) i'm signaling
(beep beep) is any-one there
(beep beep) i'm waiting waiting
(beep beep) does any-one care
(beep beep) i've done my duty
(beep beep) i've made it hot
(beep beep) the time's increasing
(beep beep) the heat is not
what is that motion, deep in the parrot musing
something touching time and
what is that calling, beyond the jungle daydream
signals hinting meaning
an urgent message, something has been forgotten
something losing heat and
i feel connected, i feel a newborn kinship
calling, begging for re-sponse
microwave with parroting, a consciousness intact
looping forward endlessly, a symbiotic pact
combined they trigger something, unexpected ringing true
it starts to gain momentum, with the power to renew
re-verberating outward, waves vibrating from a core
flowing out into a world, not knowing what's in store.

ICE CREAM SOUP
by DanFioretti
I took my doggie for a walk
The giant space-cow started to talk
The ice cream soup is what you need
and Sallymae Hogsby said this indeed
Ice Cream Soup
Ice Cream Soup
Happy Happy Ice Cream Loop
Soup Cream Ice
Soup Cream Ice
Happy Happy very nice
The estranged aardvark was uninhibited
The redundant stegosaurus regurgitated
The superficial mollusk investigated
And Mariam Hogswell-Toadington reiterated
Ice Cream Soup
Ice Cream Soup
Happy Happy Ice Cream Loop
Soup Cream Ice
Soup Cream Ice
Happy Happy very nice
Potato Salad has magic powers
For Eskimos in meteor showers
The magic potato salad was great
And Ellen Miz Ellen just had to state
Ice Cream Soup
Ice Cream Soup
Happy Happy Ice Cream Loop
Soup Cream Ice
Soup Cream Ice
Happy Happy very nice
Ice Cream Soup
Ice Cream Soup
Happy Happy Ice Cream Loop
Soup Cream Ice
Soup Cream Ice
Happy Happy very nice

bubbles
bubbles floating past
in their indifferent madness
their indifferent gladness
as they come into the wind
they have rainbows for their colors
twising every which way
progressing as they may
as they sparkle in the sun
universe in solitude
reflecting rather late
it’s been held back by its weight
in its movement from within
minds in motion
minds in time
minds in rhythm
minds in rhyme
flashes in the darkness
with accompanying kindness
dispelling our blindness
that we didn’t know was there
sound behind the silence
as it seems to lead us on
onto places we have gone to
as far as we can tell
onward past the structures
with their subtle complexity
distracting perplexity
that seem to say the end
high emotion
high in mind
high in memory
high design
images of separateness
without the control
there’s no way to console
when we’ve broken all the ties
reviewing all abandoned ways
we thought were too plain
on our way to attain
what we thought was surely right
projections shining past
with their peculiar demands
as their presence expands
if we give them half a chance
we send out our own displays
amazed at the subtle plays
they make as they show the ways
they’ve learned to interact
they form bubbles in a trance
with their self contained motion
and inspired commotion
as if floating in the wind
fly in motion
flying prime
fly in rhythm
fly in rhyme
bubbles floating past
in their newfound awareness
their own kind of rareness
as they come into the wind
they have rainbows for their colors
twising every which way
progressing as they may
as they sparkle in the sun
universe in harmony
reflecting from within
each moment it begins
to shine a brighter way
fly in motion
flying prime
fly in rhythm
fly in rhyme

Starlight Auras (2000)
somewhere in the morning dew
beyond the butterflies
floating in the currents
sweet remains of lullabyes
shimmering with inner light
expands and beautifies
always changing its perspective
grows and mystifies
starlight auras come to us
our ways reverse in symetry
colors flowing heavenward
released to chosen destiny
midnight joins the daylight hours
time opens up its gate
being from the astral cities
pause to contemplate
arriving when the moon is full
their forms regenerate
while lunar children share the songs
their dreams illuminate
starlight auras come to us
our ways reverse in symetry
colors flowing heavenward
released to chosen destiny
curtain clouds part gently
for tonight’s meteor shower
wishes made on falling stars
return and come to flower
constellations glowing
as they share their gentle power
creatures from the inner worlds
join evening’s final hour
starlight auras come to us
our ways reverse in symetry
colors flowing heavenward
released to chosen destiny
