Opus 221 - Meanwhile, I Breathe

I remember those days When your spirit reached out to me. I remember those days, And the way you used to look at me Before you went inside To a life I can’t share with you this time. Meanwhile, I breathe, I wrap myself in a high desert breeze, And I watch the storms blow ‘Cross our garden, far away and long ago. And I feel that time is everything And there’s so much, so much I don’t know. I remember my hand on your shoulder And you, so deeply far away. I remember the chill it gave When I saw you locked in that tiny cave, When you went inside To a place I can’t share with you this time. Meanwhile, I breathe… I remember the day I moved away, Stepping lightly on your creaking porch. I left an orchid there Hoping you would care for her The way you wouldn’t care for me When you went inside, To a life I can’t share with you this time. Meanwhile, I breathe…

Opus 214 - I had a dream last night

I had a dream last night That they would not let us protest. That they wouldn’t let us stand outside, That they wouldn’t let us be trans in public. I had a dream last night, And now it’s time to sing So I can be Out in a world That needs me. In my dream they said it was Cuz they wanted to keep us safe. But they knew, but I knew, That that wasn’t true. So we went outside Even though they wouldn’t let us, We went outside, just a few of us, And then we went outside, many more. We went outside And we protested By being who we wanted to be, Being it loud and free. Oh, was it just a dream? Oh, or a call to me? Oh how can I be Who I am, more loud and free? How can I be, how can I be Who I am, more loud and free? Who I am, More free?

Opus 213 - I choose to remember how to be free

A flower grows beneath, Beneath my skin, beneath my chest. A flower grows beneath. I watch it grow. I see me, I see me So clearly now. Gentle, now, Gentle is beautiful, Gentle is soft, And it’s all I need for now. I don’t need to know the future To know it can be So full of joy. I don’t need to know the future, I can let it be Here, now, with me. I don’t need to know the future, I can let it be, I can’t see into the mind Of anyone but me, So I don’t know the future, I can let it be. I’m open… I’m open and free. I’m open like a room Letting air pass through. I love this fresh, fresh breeze, I love this fresh breeze. I don’t need to know the past, I can let it be. It’s always here with me, It’s always here with me, But it cannot weigh on me, But it cannot weigh. I choose to remember How to be free. I don’t need to know the future, I don’t need to know the past, Because I already know them deeply, Every moment lasts. I don’t need to know the future, I don’t need to know the past, Because I already hold them deeply Within my hands. I choose to remember How to be free…

Opus 211 - I Dream With You In The Ether

I dream with you in the ether, I dream with you so near. Folds of time collapse in the night, And all is here, all is here. Oh come and sing with me In the stream, my song, together. Oh come and sing with me In the stream, our song, together. We’re flowing now, Like the water beneath the ice. We’re breaking free, And rushing forwards. We’re flowing now Like the water, Like the water Beneath the ice. Oh flow with me In this, my song, Oh flow with me, Together. Here comes the Spring. I can feel it, I can feel it. Like smoke rising up from the fire, Like smoke rising up from the fire, All will be free, all will be free, All will be free in what’s coming. What’s coming, what’s coming…
