An Antarctic

An Antarctic                  No-one goes there, no-one knows where
has no shadow                exactly to go
no people                        in situations of lonliness
no pillow                         and ghostliness so

                                       There's a calm, a world of harm awaiting you
An Antarctic                   and its true that time alone does affect you
is extremely alone           the nothingness is eerie and what do you know
freezes on                        when you're lost on a white page with no reference points
the telephone
                                        Started out far better than the way you end  
                                         all this hellish emptiness you cannot defend
White crush                      can't depend on seeing out the moment
ice rush                             the one when you are lost
iceberg's                           its all for experience, its all at your cost
slow motion push
                                         Lost you think you are on a white page now
                                         frost is crystal path you leave                                 When the white
Crystal cage                     to get back to home how                                         is all consuming
sorrowful rage                  you still believed you were lost                             frozenness
An Antarctic's                   but that you'd get back home somehow.              you're resuming
for an age                                                                                                       frozenness, frozenness
                                                                                                                      you've not chosen
                                                                                                                    lonliness
An Antarctic                                                                                               have you     
gets to you                                                                                                   you just went for a walk
in blue foot                                                                                                   then you just withdrew
of lonely shoe                                                                                               withdraw now
                                                                                                                     a little further
                                                                                                                    cold fever gets you
An Antarctic                                                                                                frozenness, frozenness
just withdrew                                                                                                 is the only thing
any voice                                                                                                        that's true 
of rescue                                                                                                       you wanted something
                                                                                                                      real
                                                                                                                      ice you could not
Broken bridge                                                                                               feel
melted fridge                                                                                                frozenness is lonliness
on the ridge                                                                                                   it is just a wheel
of enemy                                                                                                       solitary's voluntary
                                                                                                                       its a turning wheel.
Unspoken clime
losing time
mist in                           I can't connect, now I will select to be away from the elect now 
the memory                   Take my snowmobile where no-one can stop it
                                      Breathe the ample air, sample nothing in particular there
                                       Doesn't matter where I go, doesn't matter what I know
                                      when I'm in Antaractica now, when I'm devoid of wow
An Antarctic
is thinning down            I'll post a flag in nowhere, see a penguin there
trimming islands            Let ice clouds dominate the air, lonliness beyond compare
of no-man town.             Doesn't matter what I think, if I disappear like invisible ink
                                        Doesn't matter in Antarctica now, when I avoid a world of wow

                                        For an emptiness complete, filled to full, hollowed out
                                        Doesn't matter if I stay in or I go about
                                        Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
                                         I hear a whisper when I shout

                                        Doesn't matter, matter at all
                                         I'm anti-matter, none foot tall
                                         Doesn't matter if I rise, I'll fall again
                                         Doesn't matter, marks out of ten.

Tokyo

Ribbons get caught in clouds             Geisha girls, strait-line-curls, as the silken twirls blossom
cherry blossom                                    there's a shuffling thru in the day anew
the city shrouds                                   Kimono pleats are replete with flowers of the dew
storks fly in
carrying babies                                    Got to notice the white faces
then its maybe                                      the places of the painted traces
Tokyo's waking up you                        on lips and lashes too
if you ever sleep                                   got to notice tea-drinking-graces
it seeps into you                                    in black and white buildings thru

                                                              Ladylike ghosts
In the rising sun rain                             the most
comprising                                            demure, doll-like too
Asian morn                                            China faces
then its as if                                           in Japanese places                          Time moves quickly
Tokyo's                                                  little feet races                               trains tick fast
suddenly born                                        with lots to do                               soon as you think
                                                                                                                    the futue's past
                                                               Large mysterios                          Speeding world
Its like you're alive                                 in little world                             in queue serene
in Tokyo                                                 Geisha girl's                              acceleration delivered
and you don't know                                flatened down hair curl.           in a waking dream
anything else
you want to see                                                                                       Time moves swiftly
the lily pad font                                                                                      so you can't see
the paper sails                                                                                        disappearing history
go free                                                                                                   modern world's
the clouds in origami                                                                            got a move on
as the sun unfolds                                                                                 fast
you love the brite greys                                                                       you've got to be always  
shining up                                                                                            in the lead
rays of olden gold.                                                                               or you'll finish last.   

You don't know
what else there is                Mount Fuji's white cake icing
but Tokyo                            melting frozenness
you don't go                         Mount Fuji
now anywhere                      no excuse me
but where the blossoms blow.   is always there
  
                                                   Fuji's watch
                                                   from time began
                                                    saw people run
                                                   to trains that ran

                                                   When things started
                                                   to speed up
                                                    Fuji's not impressed much
                                                   stares back its 'what's up?'

                                                   Fuji is eternal
                                                   until the very end
                                                   until time stops
                                                   you can depend
                                                   upon Mount Fuji
                                                    for that end.      

Summertown White

Snowing down over Summer town              Snowflakes fall and multiply
now the skiing's come                                   as breaks up the frozen sky
and you can move about now                        like tears before our dry eye now
where the waxes run                                      Snowflakes take all beauty with them
                                                                        to skirt the mountain hem
                                                                        See snowflakes thru a microscope
You waited for so long                                    different every one
for the white to come along                             each one created
now you hear                                                   even if in a second are gone
the cow bell song
                                                                        Snowflakes are lace fabric
                                                                        confetti  
                                                                         of Switzerland's wedding dress
You're on the fluff stuff                                   and these doily edges
the white hills                                                   do so softly press
you smooth it down                                          See snowflakes
in your gentle spills                                          make
you do                                                               a bedding down of beauty
                                                                          treading down from town to town
                                                                          for some ski racer rooting.
Take a snowboard over there
and start to ski in the air
you want to fly                                 A mountain's high as dreams can climb
where its rare                                    stands firm as goal
                                                          to be someone to surmount
                                                          problems on the whole
Snowboarding in Summer town
snow overwhelmes                           Mountain come down
Summer town                                    is desire
now its Wintertown                           to continue
in all its white                                    not to expire
now you snowboard
to the stars                                          Do not tire, do not tire
the snowflake scars                            never tire now
like a kite                                            tho there's no ladder to get to where
                                                            you want to
Summertown                                       Desire, desire
Summertown white                              meets with Destiny
leave the ground                                  and if she allows it
like a kite                                              greet infinity.
Wintertown
Wintertown's rite
and you can see
a snowy site.                    
                                           Fall of snow in the nite
                                           come the morn smooth and tite
                                           for you
                                           Fall of snow
                                           stranger's dance
                                           left behind her elegance
                                           Fall all the snow in one go
                                           you want more of it still tho
                                           There's a downpour of white rain
                                            ice is soft, soft again
                                            often you did dream about this
                                            when the Winter you did miss
                                            Fall of snow
                                            now you know
                                             dreams freeze real
                                            things happen
                                             if you feel.    

Condor

Condors fly                                            Andes are a line of stone
and make the mountains small               and Andes stand alone
wings that soar                                        heights you have to look up to
the Tocantins                                          under ceiling of cloud
are not so tall                                           they bring the rains that water
                                                                 from the thunders loud
                                                                 And the Andes
Flew                                                          And the Andes 
you'd do                                                    Are always there
flew                                                           they constitute
and who                                                    the concrete  
could see more                                          the solidness in air
of everything                                           Andes Andes
of anything                                               from where the cloud birds fly
like you                                                     Andes Andes
                                                                   dominant
                                                                  under omnipotent sky.
Condor
condor
open up a door               Ride around the mountain on a kicking mule
you are sure                    on the winding road that runs its rule
you know                       ride around the spacios space where there is no end
what wings are for          to the barrenness of emptiness
glide                               found round every bend
the valleys                      Ride around the mountain on a kicking mule
in between                      ride ride and ride
                                        against the tide
the mountains wide         of deserts that try to tie you
then up                             to the deadness that they knew
take a skyward ride         you've got to not know
                                         what it wants you to know
                                         you've got to beat it so
Condor                             So ride around the mountain on a kicking mule
condor                               and then you can kick back 
open up a door                 that its folds failed to fool.
you want to see more
you'll disappear
like one hi-tear                                                                     Ecuadorian air
you'll leave the                                                                      its going nowhere
mountain floor.                                                                     its not breathing for you
                                                                                              Ecuadorian air
                                                                                              
                                                                                              There there Ecuadorian air
                                                                                              but you can't see it
                                                                                               its nowhere

                                                                                              The clouds are low
                                                                                              the sky is hi
                                                                                              there's breathlessness in the moment
                                                                                              where the sounds all die

                                                                                               There there Ecuadorian air
                                                                                               the sky's too dense
                                                                                                indeed to tear

                                                                                                You're going up
                                                                                                 the mountain stairs
                                                                                                 to get back to home
                                                                                                 You're feeling like
                                                                                                 your last breath
                                                                                                 skulked off alone

                                                                                                 Air air Ecuadorian                                   
                                                                                                  air
                                                                                                  it never realy starts
                                                                                                  its on the point of nowhere.
      

Waterborne

Waterborne
I was on water born
were you

Surf
a rolling strolling turf
that washes
over you

It is your world
surfergirl
it is your all
do you

Marry it
carry it with you
everywhere
you go

Surf surf
surf
surfergirl
supergirl of blue
there's a world of bathing
sunbathing
rainbathing
washing over you
blue
ocean dew

Waterborne
were you
on water born
blue
ocean dew.

Now We're In Nepal

High mountains
made of snow
its usualy only where
Sherpas go

Tall ceiling
to the world
top altitudes
the clouds unfurled

And now we're in Nepal
ans how we try to breathe
above the stations we're born in
the shadows we want to leave

Now we're tall
climbing up
and to the eagles
we lift a cup to

Now we're in Nepal
when do we stop
from rising up
you know we'll never drop

Top of high
small below
and frozen footsteps
we do not show

Moment there
we do not share
with anyone
at the moment we do
its gone.

The Elephant Remembers

Lonely in Africa                        Elephants walk, stalk out water, like some divining daughter
like a giraffe                               oasis talk, the waterhole, the rain from the sky that stole
that sees over                             elephants dream of the brite blue gleam, their young cajole
the very last laugh                      the elephant remembers what no-one else believes
                                                    the elephant knows water's lefty behind by all the cloudy thieves

                                                    The elephant remembers the way to where
                                                     there's joyful bathing under hot air
The animals are dying                 the elephant remembers the unmarked way
failing for                                     thru the park of the desert in drought's day
the lack of the clouds
and water store                            Large the space to go thru
                                                     tiny babies there
                                                     in their trunky greyness
Get out                                         who spout water into air
get out
the animals get out                       Long the elephant memory
of it                                               because it has to care
out out                                          to get across the dryest hours
there's left of food                        for its family to spare.
not a bit

Out get out
and there's an exodus
of all the shepherds
who seek the lands of us              Jungle time, and eat key lime, on fruit do dine, Jungle time
                                                      friend of mine, drops me a line, drops me a vine in Jungle time
                                                     its dark without a spark, hark the eyes in there
The animals have left now           in the leafy air don't despair in trees that twine, Jungle time. 
before the ones who leave
leaving the land in which              Jungle's by the watering hole, jungle's start of green
they no longer believe.                  when its time to leave the deset and its golden gleam


                          Times I am trying
                           to see the whole day out
                           and on knowing way I am relying
                            to find the elephant spout
                            the place that I call water
                            where the elephants bathe free
                            this waterhole never alters
                            for its locality
                            dance in the drink
                            the liquid sky ink
                            think just the way to there
                             refresh and rebirth
                             for the waterworth
                             and bathe in the watery air.

Up In Air

If its all I want to have then its too much
the diamond gets less shiny upon the touch
as such we're striving but don't want to get
as soon as we dream of something we start to forget

There's no time we're accomplishing our goals
there's no ending point in the mission of souls

If its what I want to get then I feel like its greed
I'm not very happy when I start to succeed

We want the building up and not the being there
we don't want to climb too far up in the air

Don't let your dreams get too far up in the air
don't leave the ground don't scale too far the stair
don't continue into clouds and lose yourself
don't go falling off that familiar shelf

We won't want an ending to the journey of our dreams
won't want our travel coat falling apart at the seams

Seems we want to build things up without being there
we don't want to fall too far from being up in air.

Island Sailor

All the while I sink
before I end up in the drink
I'm dreaming
or reaching destinations
there are no hesitations in the mind
there's no real thing I have to find

I'm floating on an island made of sea
each continent an ocean
I'll meet eventualy

At the time I sail
before I start to fail
because I don't know the way
when all the sky's just gray
I can't see a star
to tell me just how far
the shores are away from here
in all the doldrum silence
I can never hear

Floating on an island made of golden
sunshine sand
when lady grayness moves
away her hand
Floating in a land of neverending sea
I just don't know the way
to otherwise be.

At the time I sail
just before I fail
I'm floating like an island sailor
who's not used to sea.

Drowned By Sky

When the waves wash around me
then I'm in sail company
I float a bit, glide a bit over glassy sea
there's mystery in the middle of ocean free

Why do we go there over there?
Why are the oceans destinations?
Why is nothingness a tourist attraction?
When there's just no interaction at all

I try to call I try my all
during this tide's rise and fall
I'm drowned by sky I don't die at all
in the great ocean I feel so small

I'm nigh on tall amongst it all
this voyageing rises me
about the waves surrounding me
I'm somewhere off the coast of Gaul

Why do we go where we don't know where we are?
Why do we seek the sun and just follow a star?
Why go where we don't know?
and just survive the blow
