With you, the song of life is full, With you, the dance can be of grace and ease. Touching not always an easy thing to do, Oh but, touching can be joyfulness indeed. You, companion, are a dear friend to me, I miss your voice, when you are away. Joy fills me when you have returned, Eager, I long, for that day. Sentiment, is so very easily over done, Too much as tool to use and throw away Words are not the deeds we show the world, They are often, after all, only what we say. These then need be how I live my life, I offer you the friendship of my hand. Both joy and pain is in the cup we drink, Both hard and soft, the place, we choice to stand.

Born for this moment, Each is built upon the last. Since I’m here now, I must have survived the past. All life has brought me to this moment, Now and here. Coupled with destiny, I live, as the future draws near. Tomorrow’s just illusion, An escape, from the life of today. Tomorrow’s not decided, Many choices will come our way. Born for this moment, Not the next one, or the last. Since we’re here now, We all must have survived our past.

Aurenga Go further in, and go higher up, To the depth of a life where there’s always enough. Standing together, oh and standing alone, In the garden of beauty we share the same home. Oh the circle is turning, I remember all the times, When the chief joy of living was to be by your side, Oh we tread the green earth and we shared the same plan, Still neath the orange trees, woman and man. Of the life I remember and the journeys that we made, Now only the dream and the purpose remains. Though I left before you, we both left in pain, But we carry all those seeds of reunions again.

Such as it is, this is the most wonderful time to be alive, This is a time of great beauty and great joy. This is also a time of great suffering and great tragedy All things are balance, the forked stick, Both sides come from the same stem. I look around and see the great hoop. And know that all’s there. To the left of me, to the right of me, Beneath me and above me, In front of me and behind me, All around me is this great circle of life. Life forever reaching out, Touching always all things. There are many worlds. This is a time of beauty. Make no mistake about this, This is the time to be alive, Always, as you breath, remember, This is the time to be alive. And for what it’s worth, The circle is expanding. All things are part of the great dream. For what it’s worth, This is a time of great beauty and great joy. And yet is a time of potential great unbalance Steady yourselves, rise above. Be set. This is a time of great wonder.

Since we dance? Since the dance is eternal, Since the song is eternal, Shall we dance? Shall we sing? Since the song is eternal. Since the breath is eternal. Shall we Sing? Shall we breath? Since the breath is eternal, Since the love is eternal. Shall we breath? Shall we love? Since the love is eternal, Since the dance is eternal. Shall we love?

This is a hard ground, For flowers have died, And weeds grow in their place, Now defeat has choked their growth and life. Nor can I sing of joy, For bright dawn has turned to storm. And waste and desolation Lie in my sight. There can be no hope of reconciliation, Now the power of words has failed There can be no hope of trust growing It’s flowers are choked By the weeds of bitterness All round. Angels of peace and reconciliation, Hear me now. Without you our lives are harsh. Without comfort or resolution, Give to us your gift of understanding. Don’t leave us in darkness, It is a lonely place, And where is the beauty in that.

I find it hard, To speak of what I really know. The words and language are not lost, But they do not easily show. Beginning now is the time, we need to speak out clear. The knowledge that is of the heart, Is so very needed here. Since all the time to speak is nearly gone There is no place to simply linger on. Since all we hold dear is in our hands Clarity and purpose stand. Malpractice is so very much abound The stewardship of the land has lapsed And chaos is all around. To sing of hope is not a simple thing That is for fools and imbecile Who always look for spring. I have a friend who speaks of a black night. A time when darkness will shut out the light A time of brightness being held at bay Until the birth of a new day. Companions there is a need for urgency There is a need for prayer and action A need for dream and prophecy Companions, I sing of other days I sing of other places and of times Both close and far away The world has seen the likes of these before The past is closed and held behind it’s heavy door But new doors open up in front I tell Recomensa, all manner of things shall be well.
