Kaleidoscope 04:11
the sun through my closed eyes and thoughts about the meaning of life seem to be a kaleidoscope pieces fall, colorful, in a dialogue then they rearrange in new ways a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope the birds winging their way through the sky the clouds so dark, underneath a fire seem to be a kaleidoscope too bad sun and trees burn through our hands will they rearrange in new ways? a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope listen to the lungs of the earth. do you hear them crackling? children already know and wonder why mankind is taking the pure essence that we ignored we breath brown air - is that human nature? let’s rearrange it, come closer, stranger a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope

Your Eyes 04:28
so tired, so small, so nervous sometimes so familiar, unusually touching first in my head, then in my chest so deep, so blue, so caring always so fascinating, unusually touching so much faith on both ways that's all. no struggle, no chaos, no trouble that's all. no heartbreak story this time that's all. it's the simple everyday truth oh here’s my love for you so wild, so strong, so movin’ so enchanting, unusually touching so loving and warm

SEARCHIN' (for Pain / Reconnecting with life) bone where, muscle where, vein where are you? toe where, knee where, skin where, tell me where are you? lungs where, womb where, heartbeat where are you? i don't feel me, I don't feel you i can't feel my needs, resources are used up i don't feel me, but I don't blame you others feel it too, we are lost in our thoughts sun where, tree where, earth where are you? time where, rain where, air where tell me where are you? light where are you and where am where am i? i don't feel me, i don't feel you i can't feel my needs, resources are used up i don't feel me, but i don't blame you others feel it, too. we are lost in our thoughts i don't feel me, i don't feel you i can't feel my needs, resources are used up i don't feel me, but i don't blame you they don't feel it too. we are losing our minds brains have been aching, thoughts have been cruel, pain (blood) has painted bodies breaking but will never rule my world Joy Bogat: listen to me. don’t - listen see i can’t tell you what to do but what i do feel is that we need room for all the wounds to heal, our stories to cry into the nights i wanna look my pain straight in the eye say here’s your wings, i’m willing to let you go, i’m willing to let you fly off to the next tree that will carry you don’t need to have capacity for all there is. sometimes there’s strength in surrendering. in giving in. you know there’s power in being softer.

gray in a mellow mood. the sunlight can't get through white and clear, precise and strong at noon friendly, tired, orange pink when the day is done and when everyone is peacefully in dreams you are still up and numb so numb, so numb, so numb oh, you and i we both have tried it giving us the space we needed you and i we had a thing i have lost my mind on the way i'm observing this quiet wall trying to figure out what it might think here i sit and rest and wait and wonder where did it end? where did it end? where did it end? where did it end? where did it end? where did it end? where did it end? so strange to me, how does it feel to you?

Tree Song 03:55
i learned from a tree to live from water & light and to be thirsty for more i learned from a tree to endure the drought and to save myself when it gets cold i learned from a tree to root, grow and sprout to wave my crown in the breeze to wear my loudest colors and then to dance with the storm yes, i will keep dancing with the storm i learned from a tree adaptability, to keep looking for the light 'n always enjoy the sun i learned from a tree to live peacefully and stand with my limbs so bare and to listen to the songs of the wind and whisper them into the night i whisper songs of trees in the wind i whisper songs of trees in the night
8.
it was a cool breeze that made this scenery so special it was strong water dancing lively underneath my feet it was a wild cliff overwhelmingly, mystical in the night and there you appeared next to your tears oh little girl, where do you belong? you told me, you'd feel lonely but free watching the world move from a mountain peak vultures are circling around you, but mama is busy and there you stand misunderstood oh little girl, where do you belong?
9.
she uses charcoal to draw a picture of the earth revealing a wide threatening black whole and a dark thick forest where roots rise like witches claws tearing out every breath she pours coffee like water coffee as dark as the night her night's so troubled her night is too long she thinks away the light from moon and stars how can she paint the world so black how can she focus on only someones bad sides how can she live off the dark live off the dark she quickly spots the black sheep out of a flock of white just as she attracts the black sheep surrounding her life she is not willing to let this be, not willing to move on instead she seeds and feeds her field of flaws how can she paint the world so black how can she focus on only someones bad sides how can she live off the dark live off the dark
10.
It's Raining 03:58
it is raining, it's raining in my heart from grief, from anger, but also from bliss because I have everything and more than I need but under skin & bone lies my heart like a burning stone it is raining, it's raining on a stone raindrops hiss, vapor, then they're gone how many gallons of water are needed to cool it? millions more. I want it all. I want a lake, gray in blue drip that drop that stop that dripping drop it is raining, it's raining on a lake it's crystal clear, calm and yet awake a lake rich in knowledge, patience and peace only a swan battles the water surface, then it leaves drip that drop that stop that dripping drop it is raining. it’s raining in my heart they drip, the drops. then they stop swans fly, the lake lies still, the stone is dry and soon it will be hot again washed up seeds can sprout, grow and bloom. It's a thrill
