Upstream 05:03
Upstream When the red-winged blackbird Calls me to the water I know I will never be the same again. On my way down, Ferns and mallows soften under me As I weave through the vapors, Hands out. Saying, I am ready to receive, Ready to be taken. A wave of flowers lift my feet And the weight of this body, with patience Till I drift upstream. Where I’ll see everything and all that you are. All that you are moves me. When I feel the soil breaking free Sliding down the banks between the colors of the spring. I feel the warmth of a woman pouring out of me. And what will I see, diving in deep? Will the water be clear as the melting snow That feeds your raging, wandering soul? Will I see the wind? High above me, humbling. Will I bend like a willow, Hands out? Will I drift upstream. Where I’ll see everything and all that you are. All that you are All that you are moves me.

March Winds 04:14
Dark on the rise Shapes the hills that the white river runs. She sings to me of sympathy. And the rush of the water helps me to process Another year living in boxes If one thing could straighten me out, It’d be the march winds, both feet on the ground. Both feet on the ground All that I’m after Is to sink in to the soil. Feeling my weight. Feeling the weight of it all. And the shifting cedars help me to process Another year living in boxes. If one thing could straighten me out. It’d be the march winds, both feet on the ground.

Deep trouble is coming I’ll take what my arms can carry. And if I can’t get over this, What then? Some days are harder than others, I guess. It couldn’t hurt this much, if I didn’t care enough. It couldn’t hurt this much, if I didn’t care. Smoked out of an endless summer. This old house, burning down, will be the last thing I’ll remember. If i can’t get over this, What then? Some days are longer than others, I guess. It couldn’t hurt this much if I didn’t care enough. It couldn’t hurt this much if I didn’t care.

I gave forgiveness And I loved you well But as the fog burns off, I wonder, will you stay here for the funeral -Or dig deeper? I’ve been a part of this place And I’m never leaving. I’m part of the feeling And I can’t be replaced. I can’t be replaced. You’ll see more sky above you now Where I gave you shelter. But as the sun dries out your rivers Would you come you come back for the funeral -Or dig deeper? I’ve been a part of this place And I’m never leaving. I’m part of the feeling And I can’t be replaced. I can’t be replaced.
