open doorway interlude
breezes flow, bring
memories, bring gratitude
clear opening display
rising tide of energy
familiar face, smile
prelude to a destiny
this magic place, break of day
waves on a golden ocean
clouds in the sky
seeking a new horizon
rising to fly
time in a fantasy, our
dreams come alive
reaching a new awareness
futures arrive
open heart in solitude
communicate with
inner worlds and multitudes
while inner children play
ships upon a crystal sea
propelled by thought
project a silent guarantee
that kindness will repay
tides in a diamond ocean
birds in the sky
finding a new horizon
focus to fly
drift in a fantasy
visions alive
living a new awareness
answers arrive
deeper chamber quietude
visions flow
serenity beatitude
lucid dream bouquet
rising tide of destiny
abundant grace, share
stimulation energy
this magic place, end of day

Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky (Lewis Carroll)
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arm, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Help Please (David Goard)
Did I ever tell you why I can't stay
A broken heart & broken dreams it seems - they won't - go away
I'm on my knees -
give me help please.
Less is more they say -
all through the night
Once more unto the fray -
my sweet, sweet delight
If you love me -
then you will see-
That I don't have to hurry - home -
when you're away
An empty heart, an empty doorway -makes me - feel afraid
I'm on my knees - give me help please
This life is so ordinary -
but the truth will tell
My life will be seen by many
as one long yell
If you love me - then you will see-
That I have no intention to cry or to crawl
And death by misadventure
makes fools of us all
I'm on my knees - give me help please
Down on my knees - I'm beggin' please
If you love me - give me release.

Ride Far Away

Ride Far Away (Ken Clinger)
long before the waking hour
long before discrimination
long before we make a stand
turn our backs on alternation
ride far away
trains to somewhere
where you’ve never been
trains for who knows where you’re bound
on your way
ride far away
ride far away
trains to your destination
all neglected ways
leading to your augmentation
shifting back and forth
they hypnotize
they’re shifting back and forth
we know there’s something going on
but never really catching on
we ride far away
trains to nowhere
where you’ve ever been
trains for who knows where you’re bound
on your way
ride far away
ride far away
trains to your destination
ride far away
trains to your destination...

She Wanted to Forget

She Wanted to Forget (Ken Clinger)
she wanted to forget all she had seen
the mem’ries wouldn’t go away
she wanted to forget where she had been
erase the path that led astray
to reinterpret what it seemed to mean
to return color to the gray
a distant motion
a childhood dream returning
a secret fantasy
empathic interplay
she wanted to forget all she had known
her thoughts had brought her to this place
she wanted to forget she was alone
no path behind her to retrace
this darkness mocking thoughts that she had grown
her failure reaching saving grace
somewhere a light
somewhere the sunshine falling
melt away darkness
obscuring the view
somewhere a sound
somewhere a voice is calling
calling a name
calling to you
she wants to be aware of what she knows
when outer darkness melts away
regain the innocence that instinct shows
beyond the doubts in light of day
a place beyond this life where wonder grows
into the here & now to stay
a distant motion
a childhood dream returning
a secret fantasy
empathic interplay

son of saturn
brother neptune
fifth stone from the sun
thunder and lightning
cosmic justice
hydrogen & helium
galileo galilei
lunar children
in his sight
io, europa, ganymede,
callisto in the night
jupiter is rising in the sky
jupiter is waiting for the moment we arrive
jupiter is shining on the sea
jupiter prepares the way to welcome you and me
pioneers, voyagers,
ulysses make their way
cassini and new horizons
enlightening our day
jupiter optimus
maximus soter
all the best
all the strength
saving grace to share
jupiter is rising in the sky
jupiter is waiting for the moment we arrive
jupiter is shining on the sea
jupiter prepares the way to welcome you and me
swirling storm of centuries
red raging spot to show
crystals of ammonia
bands of clouds
that mark the flow
son of saturn
brother neptune
fifth stone from the sun
thunder and lightning
cosmic justice
hydrogen & helium
jupiter is rising in the sky
jupiter is waiting for the moment we arrive
jupiter is shining on the sea
jupiter prepares the way to welcome you and me

The Space Cow March (Ken Clinger)
way out on the rings of saturn
space cows have a party
they like to munch on martian hay
and sip on neptune tea
and when they’re sure all have arrived
that no space cows are tardy
they go outside onto the rings
and this is what you’ll see
they do the space cow march
the space cow march
they march on saturn’s rings
they do the space cow march
the space cow march
and all the while they sing
space moo, space moo
we do the space cow march and space moo
space moo, space moo
the space cow march is good for you
and when they have marched awhile
the space cows take a break
they drink some punch from planet earth
and eat some venus cake
then the space cows take a nap
to gain their strength anew
when they wake they’re all refreshed
and you know what they do
they do the space cow march
the space cow march
they march on saturn’s rings
they do the space cow march
the space cow march
and all the while they sing
space moo, space moo
we do the space cow march and space moo
space moo, space moo
the space cow march is good for you
space moo space moo
the space cow march is good for you
space moo space moo
the space cow march is good for you
the space cows go on marching
till the end of day
then they space moo their goodbyes
and as they leave they say
we did the space cow march
the space cow march
the space cow march and space moo
space moo, space moo
the space cow march is good for you
we did the space cow march
the space cow march
the space cow march and space moo
space moo, space moo
the space cow march is good for you

Real One

Real One (David Goard)
Creeping creatures are null and void – now the Real One’s – at home
The Real One is a blessing –
a precious – comfort zone.
Lay, lay – lay on my doormat –
lay at the – Sultan’s feet
Tell me – who needs a stunt cat
The Real One is complete.
Fetch me up - a spinster –
catch me a courtesan
Fan it, fan it - fan it to life –
the dancing – leopard - of Kurdistan
No competition – no inhibition –
no concern - for consequence
Tell me – who needs a stunt cat
No one - with common sense.
She was the kinda girl
that wouldn’t leave ya
She was - the sweetest - one of all.
We knew the Real One
couldn’t de - ceive ya
But then she heard –
the call – of the wild.
Did she see a meerkat – alert –
and - off all fours
Did she see a cheetah – that leapt –
and ran - and roared
Pre-Raphaelite-hermaphrodite –
Ophelia meets Maine Coon
Whatever - creature you are
You’ll be – with them soon.
Real One tensed on the roadside –
she felt her time had come
Real One knew she was -
on the slide – goodbye to – days of fun.
Order me a stunt cat –
that can jump – and purr – and claw
A stand-in that does – everything -
so what was the - Real One for?
Real One recalls -
the days of grey – pants - and bra’s
Even when - she’s in the gutter
Wide-eyed – be-neath the stars.
She was the kinda girl
that wouldn’t leave ya
She was the sweetest one of all.
We knew the Real One
couldn’t de - ceive ya
But then she heard – the call –
of the wild…wild…wild and free.

Unbound (Ken Clinger)
high overhead
observing patiently
watch for brightness
watch for clarity
a spark of life
a weak fragility
lost in darkness
unconscious rarity
passage of time
slice of eternity
expanding insight
unfold capacity
floating free
remember light
and sound enchant
awake alive unbound
clarity
remembered goals
and promise of love
delight inspire
and surround
looking within
exploring patiently
finding brightness
finding clarity
a source of life
inner security
self as gateway
enter eternity

Babilfrenzo (Lewis Carroll)
(trans. Donald Broadribb)
Rosge, dum la sxliplaj tovoj
Tre gire en l' ongefo borlis,
Misgilis cxiuj borogovoj,
Tenrefoj dejmaj gorlis.
"Evitu l' Babilfrenzon, filo,
Makzelojn, ungojn sxirajn, kaj
Jxuban birdon en l' azilo
Lasu cxe l' fumrioza Ktaj'"
Kun vorpa glavo en la mano
Li sercxis predon. Pro timsento
Li haltis -- ve! -- por pensi cxe
Tumtumo dum momento.
Sed dum li auxke pensis, la
Flamanta Babilfrenzo sen-
-hezite vorfis blurble tra
l' arbaro -- tutsen pen'!
Unu du! Unu du! Kaj plu kaj plu!
Per vorpa klingo li gxin hakis!
En lian sakon la bestan kapon
La glavo snikersnakis.
"Kaj cxu la Babilfrenzo mortis?
Brakumu min, knabeto, hoj!
Ho frabgxa tag'! Kala-Kalag!"
Li cxortlis pro sia gxoj'.
Rosge, dum la sxliplaj tovoj
Tre gire en l' ongefo borlis,
Misgilis cxiuj borogovoj,
Tenrefoj dejmaj gorlis.
