Posted on by admin

I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings

Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings

Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness

She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank God for God

Thanking you gave

Thanking God for good
Thanking you gave

The Smörgåsbord of intellect
Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave

I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God
’cause it would be mighty hard
To find a way to pray
Without you

Whatever I can do
To help pay your due
I would love to….

In the mean time, I’m…
Thanking you gave

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Have we fed the end
Are you fed-up with the end
Ready for the love you send
To bring the thing for which we sing
To the hears of every human

Are you fed-up with this human zoo
Are you? Are you ready…
Ready to begin anew

Look at the view
Through
The eyes of the child
Babe
Swaddling
May the joy be piled
Miles
High
Sigh
Bring that thing for which we sing

Do you wish you were the Grateful Dead
Some sort-of martyr
Or, still alive… going Further?

Do you wish to be grateful, dead?
Born to wear a crown of thorn
Or, still alive… with the gift of life

Grateful live
Grateful live
Grateful life
Cherish the gift
Until your lift
Eternal life with Christ
Eternalness of Christmas

A song inspired by this conversation….

Daniel Brouse asked Edie Weinstein:
What do you think?

Edie Weinstein replied:
About what?

Daniel Brouse responded:
Ha! The world?

Edie Weinstein shines the light:
I think it is a place of divine delight in which we get to create our own vision and live it out. I think we are each responsible for healing it and illuminating the dark places. I love being here. OR were you looking for an answer a bit more mundane? ?

Daniel Brouse:
Perfect! Too bad more people don’t know… heaven is here.

LYRICS
Imagine this…
While having conversation
With Miss Bliss
Somehow we
Miss the bliss
… miss the realization
We’re soakin’ in
Happiness

Heaven on Earth
From our most
Recent birth
No lyin’
We’ve reached Zion
The Promised Land
In our hand
If we could…
But only
Understand

Raise The Dead by The Snake Handling Immortal tongue Speakers

Intro:
Bugle starts off playing Taps
While guitarist *taps* the guitar

You’re gonna raise the dead
Playing music like that

She said,
“This song’s ’bout my son”
I meant no disrespect
I heard what you said
“My son is dead”

“At that time…
… of trouble
Your people
Shall be delivered.
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”

Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head

May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment

She said,
“That’s my girl
I don’t know who you are
But, you better be special”
You said,
“That’s Daniel.”

[spoken word to bugle and Krista tapping… add pagpipe interweave Amazing Grace ]
“Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.”
And many of those who sleep
In the dust of the earth
Shall awake.”
[end spoken word]

Raise the dead
May my spirit
Raise the dead
I can hear it
Raise the dead
Not just inside my head

May we shine
The brightness of the firmament
May we shine
The brightness of the fulfillment
At this time
Your people
Shall be delivered.

A lil’ bird
Flew up to my window
As I was speeding
On my way
Oh, I dunno why
In such a rush
Not stopping
To smell
The roses
On the way

There
And, then
That day
I could see happiness
Will always
Find a way

Fly
Love will fly there
Fly

Feel like ya wanna die
Fly
Will lift you up
Lost hope… wanna sigh?
Fly

You know Roe?
FLY

Sherri Lee
You tempt me
With all that’s good

We could
Sing
We could
Dance
We could do
Most anything

With your power of touch
There ain’t much
Left to chance
You’re not a matter
Of good luck
You’re plain good

When it comes to average
Or extra ordinary
I take the stance —
You’re the latter

(more to come… went from writing this*outside* in my car
to writing *inside* the comfort of the studio as it relates to Sherri Lee being energy out in the world and Sherri Lee making people feel comfortable… warm within)

Sherri
Lee
Certainly
Brings….

All the while,
She’ll gladly do it with a smile

Sherri
Lee
Certainly
Brings
Many good things

“Coming from a place of sensitivity”

Clarivointcy

“Coming from a place of sensitivity”

Transparency

You can see right through me

Being a medium

Is not very average

Some

If not all living

Can be unforgiving

… even savage.

Speaking in tongues

Ghost whisperer

Shhh! Hear Her?

Ghost whisperer

Screams

From the top of his lungs

Handling snakes

Whatever it takes

To peak

Through the seams

To seek

What it means

Sometimes

You may look like a freak

When you go to speak

To the dead

However

It’s worth hearing

What is said

No one lives forever!

No one lives forever?

It takes

Trying to give away

Every Joule of energy

It takes

Trying to give away

Every jewel of energy

Extemporaneous

Stream of consciousness

The elimination of *me*

So, that I may see

Speaking in tongues

Handling snakes

Whatever it takes

Often times

You may look like a freak

When you go to speak

Exposing one’s soul

Can take a toll

Exposing one’s sole

Can take a toll

Inspired by the Groove Train Riders. Thanks!

Woot wooooooot!??

All aboard!

Let’s move the masses

Let’s move the hoard

Before our time passes

Can we

Get ’em to move

Can we

Get in the groove?

Take the tube

To Piccadilly Circus

To cause a ruckus

Come unglued

Gonna ride

Ride that train

Come back

On track

Gonna ride

Ride that train

Clickity, clickity, clickity, clack

Inside Her (God)

The Groove Train Rider

Groove Train Ride Her

Pennlyn

Paoli

To Penn Station

Ft. Washington

To 30th Street

Barely

Keep the beat

Almost

A runaway train

Woot wooooooot!?

Verging on insane

Woot wooooooot!?

Come back

On track

Gonna ride

Ride that train

Woot wooooooot!?

bookmark_borderThe Place Of Creation

Posted on by admin

I had to pull into the Wawa parking lot
and, jot this down….

The place I like the most
Is where creation occurs
There’s a place in this lyric
Where creation occurs

There’s a place in this song
Where creation occurs
Doesn’t matter much
If it’s off-beat
To that
Of a different drummer
I’m still amazed
I bare witness
To creation

The place
With the space
To allow the future
To unfold
Or, so I’m told

That’s the place
I’ve been trying to explain
I thought everyone knew
Now, I come to find
More one-of-a-kind
And, for them
It’s something knew?

Well, not a sin
To come on in

Kind-a-like watching
The birth of your child
And, imagining
The point of conception
The creation
That’s the place

Not a sin
To come on in

LYRICS
In as much
As a word can touch
I’m reaching out to you
And, I hope to see
What you say
About the way
Our heads headed
Remove what’s embedded
About hate, death and war
After all,
There’s got to be more
An expanded view

Evoke a sixth sense
Is what we’ll try to do
So, you can talk to me
And, I can talk to you
Without moving our lips
Communication slips
