lyrics

I am loud voice
and soft touch
upon sidewalk puddle
surface tension
my open hand skims water surface
Reflection of trees in a mirror shadow
the rain addled puddle undulates
in slow waves
converging at the core of being spirit of love
the central emanation
of water droplet piercing puddle tension
effervescing from ephemeral heart flow
from the inside out
to make known the joy
the ecstatic embrace
the immersion of rain meets gravity meets puddle
the cycle continues / the cycle continues
sand becomes sandstone / sand becomes sandstone
i am a song coming to the place where words have no name
and tones exchange energy
the devotion to song
singing until my throat runs dry
i will not be colonized
my beauty will not be sold
no treaties will be bargained
do you know
and do you see what they do to the indigenous heart beauty
they eat it up and spit it back out
commodify it and make a living
no a killing
no they make genocide!
i will not allow my soul to be destroyed
for an image or a dream of vain profit
i will live to sing
sing to live
i'll give away my soul as what is not mine is not mine to keep
my heart is wilderness and belongs to god
you must not pave upon my dreams, my melodies, my harmonies...
