Nothing To Nothing
We begin as nothing
But can grow into Kings
Or crawl deep in ourself
And become nothing again
This is your life
Could it be stranger
A misfits delight
You’ll fit right in
Don’t you worry
Ignore the dangers
But remember here
The point’s to win
As the years
Pave the road to sorrows
Your fears
Buried under lies
Steal what you can
Keep all you borrow
And feel the walls
Crumble in on paradise
For we begin as nothing
But can grow into Kings
Or crawl deep in ourself
And become nothing again
As you tie rope
To hang all your dreams
Die of hope
And desperation
Death an escape
Now it seems
From mindless madness
And frustration
So don’t lead your soul
To the gallows
Don’t leave your soul
To be damned
Beware the cold
Beware shadows
And beware
The red-eyed
Whispering man
Beware
The red-eyed
Whispering man
Beware
The red-eyed
Whispering man
You know we begin as nothing
But can grow into Kings
Or crawl deep in ourself
And become
Nothing
Again

Mother Earth – Steve Wolf Original (with recording of song below)
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
The full moon shines upon
A sea of stars
A flood of light
And I am sinking
Oh Mother Earth
I was thinking
That when I die
And all my tomorrows
Like tears
Fall into the sky
And flicker
And pass me by
And when I leave my friends
The ones I love
Will I never know them again
Or understand
Their tenderness
Their loveliness
Or feel them warm
Against my
Skin
Am I to lie there endlessly
Alone in death
Eternity
Waiting
Without them
Oh I could cry
A million tears
Mother Earth
These are my fears
That I should pass
A million years
Or a single day
Without
Them
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
I feel the coldness
Of the ground
The bitter frost
Of deepest space
I cannot bear
To face it
And when I feel this way
Wrap your arms around me
Press you body
Into mine
As if your soul
Could enter
Me
And when I feel this way
Do not say a word
Or dry my tears
Just hold me
And let the years
Pass
Oh Mother Earth
We’re going down
The full moon sets
And sinks
Beneath the dark waters
Of the flood
And all is
Silent
I finally found Steve Wolf’s original song that I attempted to recreate below. Listen to the acoustic version by the original author. Chilling…
Goddess’ Eyes
Dark blue night
Points of light
Dead tree silhouette
Against the sky
Blood and birth
Pain then life
Smile of the Goddess
In a mother’s eyes
I see the magic in your eyes
I see something tragic in your eyes
Bright sun rays
Newborn’s face
Become now Self
For finite days
Life and loss
Loved ones die
Shade of the Goddess
In a widow’s eyes
I see the magic in your eyes
I see something tragic in your eyes
Guilt like Hell
Death of Self
Buried in the Void
Where souls once dwelt
Return alive
A truth realized
Gift of the Goddess
In Enlightened eyes
I see the magic in your eyes
I see something tragic in your eyes
I see the magic
I see the tragic
In the Goddess’ Eyes
~CLS~
Mother Earth
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
A warm breeze
Dries my eyes
So I might see
The stars
Listening
And glistening
In the sky
And when I feel this way
Don’t leave my side
Don’t turn away
Hold my hand
And keep me
From being
Frightened
Of the
Dark
The bitter frost
Of endless space
No I cannot bare
To face it
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
And when I leave my friends
The ones I love
Will I ever
Know them again
Or will I understand
Their tenderness
Their loveliness
And when I feel this way
Hold me close to your bosom
And set me down to lay
Forever and
Ever
Press your body into mine
As if your soul
Could enter
Me
Am I to lie here
Endlessly
Alone in death
Eternity
For I could cry
A million tears
For a single day
Or a thousand years
Without my
Friends
Oh Mother Earth
I’m going down
And soon the sun will set
I will forget
All is silent
And I cry
I
Cry

Love to Steve Wolf who wrote the original version of this song, but I cannot, for all the years passed, remember it but as an inspiration. I love you, Brother, and miss you.
I know
I know it feels
Like your drowning
The cold and fear
You’re sinking down in
A last breath
Pray for guidance
Embrace death
Lay in silence
I know the pain
Of this passing
There’re no answers
To what you’re asking
There’s only Void
What’s beyond
Let go of all
Fear holds on
I know it’s hard
Your Ego dying
It cannot serve
The enlightened
So say goodbye
This is your moment
End your Self
End your torment
I am Void
Am nothing
No nothing
Non-existence
Only consciousness
To create
Anything
Everything
What sublime
Simplicity
I know it feels
Like Heaven
But it’s just being
In the moment
You can touch
All that you feel
What were dreams
You now make real
I know it seems
Like freedom
Yet many souls
Fall prey to demons
Sisters, brothers
Hopeless, wandering
Lost forever
Without your suffering
I know it feels
Like your drowning
Knowing fear of Hell
You must go down in
A final test
There is no guidance
Thier souls for yours
Eternal Silence

Awakening
So deep I had seeped
Into despair
That I knew to survive
I’d have to dare
To end Me and Misery’s
Long affair
So that night ‘fore I slept
I wept a prayer
And the Goddess took me
On a walk that night
Up to a mountain
That touched the sky
And in awe
I raised my eyes
And thus cried my soul
At the sight
I AM AWAKENED
~CLS~
The Sun and the Mountain
Trapped in my mind
I couldn’t find release
So I sped across the bridge
Left the city behind me
I went up on a hill
Looking down over the sea
And I wandered through the redwoods
Searching around for inner peace
Then way up on the Mountain
The Sun rests his weary head
And way up on that Mountain
Wake a hundred buried dead
I don’t want to find you
Hanging around up there
With them
And I never want to find you
Lying down there
Among them
When I left the tangled forest
I found that I was not alone
I turned to face a demon
With the familiar scent of home
The specter had me shaken
Yet I was awakened by the test
It said I was forsaken
For taken on my quest
Then way behind the Mountain
The Sun hid his sleeping head
And way up on that Mountain
Danced a hundred living dead
I don’t want to find you
Hanging around up there
With them
And I never want to find you
Dancing up there
Among them
One foot in front of the other
I stumble down my lonely road
With one last shot of tequila
‘Fore I go into the valley below
With your hate-note for a map
And a cigarette to light my way
Shivering in your loathing
I await the break of day
Then way above the Mountain
The Sun rears his fiery head
And way up on that Mountain
Rests a hundred native dead
I don’t want to find you
Hanging around up there
With them
And I never want to find you
Lying down there
Among them
Pray I never find you
Hanging around up there
With them
No I never want you with me
Lying down there
Among them

Thank you Linda Sorensen for the wonderful painting of Mt. Vision and my long ago home of Inverness. What a magical place…
In Dreams
In dreams
My soul travels
Realms created
Experience magical
Then I return
Only to find here
That I yet dream on
For your eyes
Capture me
As a Goddess’
A dream more magical
Than any
In remembrance
How my heart
Smiles and sighs
~CLS~
Raging Fire
How many thoughts
How many imaginings
Have I had of you today
How few breaths
How few moments
For me have felt this way
This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire
Oh your voice
Even a single word
Watching your mouth move
A long sigh
A longer kiss
Oh what am I to do
This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire
I feel for you
And I burn
I’d burn for you
And I fall to sleep
And I dream
I dream of you
Oh how I wish
I could take you away
As I hope only I can do
But it is I
Who is swept by your tide
And oh how I am moved
This is not a simple fancy
Nor is it a simple lust
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire
Yes indeed a deep desire
A burning heart
A raging fire
~CLS~
Listen to RAGING FIRE.
