Wave of Sound (© 2013 Ken Clinger) gently flowing outward from the center of the source a wave of sound immaculate expands to reinforce increasing in dimensions from the formless to the form manifesting genesis solidity of circumstance is born --- vibration in the microcosm macrocosm wave amplifying frequency cause and effect at play subtle at the outset beyond the grasp of mind the seed it grows unrecognized then bursting forth surprise delight combined --- on this distant shore beneath a distant sun waves still whisper deep within the source and goal are one expanding from your center returning waves appear sounds attraction homeward destination now and here --- gently flowing inward towards the center of the source the wave of sound returning home benign inviting force gathering the energy attention focus found inner merging with the outer course unites within the wave of sound

Lady of the Lake lyrics ©2012 Ken Clinger Deep beneath the waters in the realm of Avalon the Lady of the Lake looks back thru time the memories linger on The Days of Camelot of Arthur and the sword Excaliber, protecting righteous knights the balance is restored in dreams and voices that are calling from the past from Merlin from Lancelot they’re just beyond her grasp ----- Lancelot, relieved of madness raised in courtly love taught the ways of knighthood protector of her fragile son Above the lake, in crystal cave Merlin slumbers on he visits her in nightly dreams of magic scenes where time and space are gone into the memories of spells and shadows cast their clarity is fading and now beyond her grasp ----- Merlin in the distant past the lady as a child she comes to Merlin as a boy innocent and mild a student of the magic arts serenely she excels her gender is revealed implicit in her spells with passing time, affection grows ripens into love imparted wisdom, safely shared he longs for worlds above a crystal cave they build together bridging, binding souls forever world of dreams their meeting place beyond earth’s grasp he sleeps to wake no time nor space in gardens of their love. ----- Gazing thru the crystal waters a distant glow increasing in its light The Lady of the Lake a memory awake- -ening from long ago benevolent delight Drifting thru the dreaming patterns the light becoming brighter than the sun recognition grows instinctively she knows, the growing light beyond and deep inside are one ------ Rise above the waters o’er the realm of Avalon the Lady of the Lake goes beyond time no memories linger on The days of Camelot they fade into the light a shadow of their origin a deeper true reality Delighting recognizing love unlimited and pure of Merlin of Lancelot all love that will endure

Not Enough original poem by Charlie Newman © 2013 edited for lyrics by Ken Clinger life is not enough you are not enough nothing is enough one thing could be an other but it is not and it is not resurrection rejection remorse to night begins with the unexpected in Bo Diddley streets with neck tie amnesia that never play noose obsess laugh moan scream blacken blue balance millions of eyes rise empty pant pocket the lip stick road is a cannibal dynamo running consciousness teasing facts wishing fun talking blood and the war ain’t even over yet arms of love wither to shards of ecstasies I have ghostly conversations with my self not enough not enough life is not enough keep it up, easily strut the facts or lie naked for an instant, remember: principals awakening I shrink residual halo better days recalled unforgotten people never blink valuing passionate display erased books deaf neglect retro-neo-futurist soft focus hocus pocus bottled suffering covert hiphop multinational migraine propaganda it’s not enough not enough

Legend of the Map lyrics ©1999 Craig Conley music ©2013 Ken Clinger Since the birth of human languages we’ve been mapping out our lives. Like some verbal cartographers tracing patterns of our speech. Here I struggle with depicting what is known not merely seen. Transforming into being what’s understood not only sensed. Invisible, impassable brought into the here and now. Both the present and the absent endowed with scale and in relief. A map without a subject is a tuneless song. Trace these lines of melody across the world. The legend on a map puts symbols into words. Symbols are created to promote a myth. I draw and stretch imagination presenting not the world I see. I am pointing my heart’s compass toward a world that we might know. The surface is a sort of window through which my new world is seen. I hold the corners of this framework unfolding far beyond belief. Unfolding far beyond belief. Unfolding far beyond belief. Unfolding far beyond belief. Unfolding far beyond belief. I see snowcapped mountains rising toward the sky. I see rivers flowing toward the sea. I hear people pounding beating rhythm on their drums. I feel the pulse unfolding far beyond belief. Since the birth of human languages we’ve been mapping out our lives. Like some verbal cartographers tracing patterns of our speech. A map without a subject is a tuneless song. Trace these lines of melody across the world. The legend on a map puts symbols into words. Symbols are created to promote a myth.
