Bright Blue Light
Circosta/Lanter
Outside
Hearing the music that’s calling
Twirling
Returning in circular movement
Wade In the stream of light
Color abounding
Freedom
What have you seen?
Maybe my eyes can help you
What will you share?
When the time is right
Will the moon be
full and uncovered?
Will secrets be told
in bright blue light
Bright blue light
Burning and falling
Destruction
There’s no breeze
Winter no longer
Brings snow to our knees
Taking a breath in our lungs
We stand up in protest
Our t-shirts are loud
Outside
Hearing the music that’s calling Twirling
Returning in circular movement
Wade In the stream of light
Color abounding
Freedom
What have you seen?
Maybe my eyes can help you
What will you share?
When the time is right
Will the moon be full
and uncovered?
Will secrets be told
In bright blue light
Bright blue light
Holding our hands
And hearts together
We cry
We are children
Waiting for song,
Prayer, and laughter
From our mothers and fathers
Outside…
Somewhere in Between
Circosta/Lanter
He was walkin’
Low in the shadow
Bended was his soul
Wondering
if all he had was lost
And what he owned
True to his spirit
He dreamed in color
And harbored the horror
Of what had harvested here
Bended was his soul
He did travel
Over the mountain
Marble, stone in Italy
Glimmer alive
And one more dream ahead
Maybe tomorrow in Rome
Showed him the water
Gave him a paddle
Let him float
to the Venetian shore
One more dream ahead
This did take you from me
Now it must bring you here
It’s a road less traveled
The water and its blues
Somewhere in between is you
He is captain of the open ocean He held tight
To the wheel through the wake
Safely home again
So keep on walkin’
Said the stranger
It can’t be too much further now
So he mustered
All his mighty power
And put his loss behind
This did take you from me
Now it must bring you here
Heaven holds no answers
There are only clues
Somewhere in between is you
Spaces Without Sound
Lanter
In the dark the other night
I felt your hand reaching out
Even though
I knew you weren’t there
And I wondered to myself
How all these faces
in my mind
Could make me feel
So lonely inside
Faces in the round
Spaces without sound
Can you hear me
in the night
Is it dark, is it light
Please help me find the way
Back to my heart
In the eyes of a child
Speak of candy
Speak of G-d
To the lips and the fingers
Slowly turning to a nod
When all the doves
surround me
With white colored wings
To love inside
And back again
Where bells will brightly ring
Faces in the round
Spaces without sound
Can you hear me
in the night
Is it dark, is it light
Please help me find the way
Back to my heart
Winding
Circosta/Lanter
Wind me
Winding
Wind me around
Twisting
Twist me
Inside out
Curling
Spiraling down
Let’s shout
I wanna be
Carried away
To the extraordinary
Wonder of your love
I wanna be
In it
Everyday
Everyday, everyday
Jingle
Jangling
Ring a ling ding
Pearlike
Moonlight
Let’s whisper
I wanna climb
Higher ground
Lift me up
Show me peace of mind
I wanna see
Kindness abound
Kindness, kindness abound
And I’m traveling
Around the world
And I’m hopeful
That the
world will change
Change, change, change, change
Clinking
Clanking
Bang, crash, boom
Blacklight
Circosta/Lanter
Laughing
at four in the morning
Troubled by two in the day
Actual sunlight brings warning
To keep all my demons at bay
And I find myself wondering
Where all this is going
Or has it gone already too far?
What will it take to get
Back to the darkness
Blacklight
Free in flight
Plug in and scream
The chords into suspension
Nothing tastes good
Without tension
Feel the sweat dripping
My hands slowly gripping
And all the thoughts
I didn’t mention
Will you follow
And dance in the sand
Let the ocean
just pull in your hands
Feel the notion
of time slip away
Roll it on over
Crash and then
How I love to be
out of control
Rain follows thunder
I’m going under
Into the eye of the storm
Oh it’s so lonely
Fulfilling… Music
Down and out spilling
Will the noise hold me
Or will it propel me
To fly in a frenzy of fear
To harvest a garden
Of dreams without weeds
And all sweet things to hear
Will you lead me
Back to the ring
That rises and gathers
The warmth in
To realize the work
Of a lifetime of pain
Sow the seeds
Turn them to grain
How I long
to find the balance
Sun follows shower
Clocked by the hour
Hear the truth
Ticking its song
Oh it’s so lonely
Fulfilling… Music
Down and out spilling
Laughing
at four in the morning
Blacklight
Laughing
at four in the morning
Free in flight

| River Road
Circosta
Here’s to the night a quiet night
The dark casts a shadow
On the street lamps’ light
Still and solemn are the trees, and damp
So the dew falls down on your on and off ramp
So you walk around yourself on a river road Even though your road is paved in stone
And the night has another place to stop and go
So you find yourself on a dream
From here to home
Stuck in the middle of another year
Where the news and reality shape your fear Just like danger always on your mind
But you can’t tell what to look for
So you look around yourself on a river road
And the danger does not lie ahead
But the night has another way to find your soul
Even though it lies from here to home
You find it difficult to help yourself
To the things that you say are good
for someone near
and after all we don’t know why
We left and went from home to here
Feelings surface when the daylight’s gone
It’s another crazy turn from the road your on
Stone and gravel and water around
It’s that river road with a common ground
So you think to yourself on a river road
And your thoughts overcome you
’cause you have to know if you can find yourself
you’ll find your soul but it’s all been done
on the road from here to home
Your Colored Wings
Circosta/Lanter
Shake it off
See what’s comin’ down
Changing
Paint it on
Need to do some
Rearranging
Here’s only so far
And far is long away
Shake it off
See what’s comin’ down
Change, don’t you be afraid
It’s always better
Fly, bright are your colored wings
You know you better
Here it is
Now what have you to say?
You tell me
Can we live in the today?
See clear all the thoughts
And all the thoughts are real
Here it is
See what’s comin’ down
Change, don’t you be afraid
It’s always better,
Fly, bright are your colored wings
You know you better
And when the night falls deeply
Into silence where we wonder
Stars light, wishes bright
Shine on all and under
Here’s only so far
And far is long away
Here it is
See what’s comin’ down
Shake it off
See what’s comin’ down
Let it Grow
Circosta/Lanter
I want to know what it will take
To hold you slow
I want to see all the elements
Of time and space
That weather you all the way down
And streak the lines into your face
And you become the season
Let it grow
And you, always yearning
Face to the wind, ever turning
I look to you, can you feel me?
No, you're already gone
How can we go on this way?
Lay your head down, stay
Please believe me
when I say that
I want to know what it will take
To love you slow
I want to understand
What lies within your hands
So I can come inside
And calm and keep you
Because I love you
Oh, let it grow
If the thoughts within you
Became, and spoke to me
I'd finally know the truth
And we could dig down deeper
To find what's real
And stay, because we want to
Let it grow
Let it grow…
Cheap Clock
Circosta/Lanter
Your nasty little brain
Ticks loudly
Like a cheap clock
Crazy grind
The nonsense gears
Now the hour
has been chosen
The chime
Sounds of a crow
Picking its corpse
You’ve eaten yourself
Time is not safe
The man in the moon
Is blind
His light
Is green and sickly
Like the color
of your skin
Stolen are the dreams
And now speaks
just of then
What goes in
And what flows out
And what just
comes around
The place is inside
Where you hide
What has become?
Time is not safe
It travels out of mind
Using all the space
And leaving
nothing behind
Reaching far and down
Slipping out of time
Lines in your hands
and eyes
Your needs and wants and cries
Who taught
you to count
Throw your brain
in the ocean
The tide will
tell the truth
Teach you the rhythm
And wash you up
where I wonder
Now
where goes the time
If only to taste it
And draw you
to the shore
Of infinite laughter
And cease trying to waste it
Your nasty little brain
Ticks loudly
Like a cheap clock
The Dance
Circosta/Lanter
He lays his gentle hand upon her
She feels the love
and the wonder
He, in his life,
and his hunger, stand
See how my life encircles yours now
She opens wide
her eyes and brightness
He knows the depth
of her kindness
She, in her will,
and her dreams, fly
Will you join me
in the dance?
Slowly, slowly
Ventured is the road
so winding
Slowly
Hold me
We go
Feel how deeply
my love goes
I am fool’s gold
Heaven knows
Gloved in velvet
And rolled in roses
He lays his gentle hand upon her
She feels the love
and the wonder
