whole as the morning Sun shines upon me balanced rays of spring endlessly forming sanctity behind your eyes I see woven as the rich black Earth feeds us lovingly It was your soft gaze, it was your open hand that led me home again bearing the Sun at night knelt beside You whispering Prayers, singing Light Grace to fall into Esho Esho Amar Ghore, Esho Esho Esho Hae Prabhu, Esho It was your soft gaze, it was your open hand that led me home again and It turns me like a gold spring like a sun-beam raising the day and you told me I'm the first green bright young morning that's graced this dream

The Lesson Learned is Held Holy, the Rising Sun Overwhelming 09:59

Watching the waves in You I sink in the Way and I know the way through The Summertime will explore you the Winter prays to undress you Treading the Water close you listen to me when I'm gone the sound of drums will restore you the lies you tell distort you Carving the Land to dust I stand in water naked in grief the lesson learned is held Holy the rising Sun overwhelming The Temple steps release their fears the birds reveal this simple notion the way of the wise heads whisper prayers and hills lie slowly down to rest we will not lose this present state my friends all pass behind the Curtain Oh Well, Oh Well, Please be kind hold my blood in hands of prayer We wake to the sound of rain and breath the Death of clouds is celebration the dress of the wild ones begs your strength and hold me in your honest manner I will not turn from this One Love and Fuck the idea of another Wake up, wake up your Lion's mane is woven in the lanes of 12 The perfection of leaving ground fresh from all the gentle plowing the Hymns of the old Bat, wailing Hymns there is a bomb in Goliad our children wake up on their own on Christmas morning, gentle voices oh well, oh well Please be kind hold my blood in hands of prayer

about

A Self-Reflection/Expression after a life-threatening car wreck one year before the EP release, October 7, 2011. I was Broken, Nourished, and Healed in all the best of ways. This is an expression of all the Grief, Love, Trust, and Grace I've experienced in the process.
