A Song to Music

Sail into my arms
We'll sail into the sun
I don't care if I know you or not
Know that I love you
Teach us to sing
I'm going to follow poet right
To the bottom of the night
With your unconstraining voice
Teach us rejoicing
Teach us to sing
CHORUS
All my life, I've waited for you
Now you've dropped like a leaf from a tree
Into my path
I've been with Molly as she's run
With a fever in the sun
And it turned her hair so red
Taught her rejoicing
Taught her to sing
CHORUS
Been to the healing of the sky
As the morning clouds roll by
Day to day there is speech
There are no words
Teach us rejoicing
Teach us to sing
CHORUS
CHORUS

Dream Bear

Hidden heart
Shafts of light
Mother night
Eternal life
Whirring in stillness
Embracing her gifts is
Mother's embrace
Father the spirit
Mother the face
Friends for life
Can't decide if
Home is up in the sky
Or in the earth's dark stillness
One digs and one builds
They suddenly know
Bricks of the tower are made with
Soil from below
Dream bear came
Said taste and see
This is the sweetest honey
This is all you've ever been
On top of the mountain
Transported by crow
The valley's gold honey
Took a snowy white glow
