Fire on the Mountain ~ Mickey Hart Planet Drum

fire on the mountain
flame in the soul
life in full expression
this a plea, a questing goal
feel the pulsing breath and heart
from which life's knowing shall not depart
this ever present flaming light and fire
breath, passion, rapture's desire.

Blossom Of My Soul

flower of my mind
petal of my heart
blossom of my soul
this flowing grace of spirit
dance I in its caressing love
sing I in its chorus of devotion
silent and resounding be its passion
lilting be its gentle fervor
flower of my mind
petal of my heart
blossom of my soul.

Celestial Sea

thoughts that probe the depths of existence
waves that crest the longings of the heart
streams that flow with the knowing grace of the soul
perceptions from time eternal
this inner call that echoes from the core of self
ever present passion, quest, a life purpose defined
listen, heed the resounding celestial sea within
the vista of mind, the passions of heart
the soul in its eternal present
echo echo echo be the refrain
"Guide the children, know their call
With God's tender love and wisdom of all. *"

Fervor Within Heart

Sacred flame and fire
Consecrated passion and desire
Praise and Glory be they named
Truth and Love ever ordained
This blissful frenzy, a fervor within heart
From all doubt or fear this soul depart
The grandeur of life I not conceal
In the burning embrace of this moment real.

I Drum ~ Mariano "Tiki" Cantero - Improvisación con Garrahand y Percusión

I Drum

I drum.
It is my heartbeat in celebration.
I chant.
It is my spirit in glory.
I am.
It is my soul in gratitude.

Drums sounding the pulse of the earth
Wild and passion filled waves of motion
Brush strokes holding to the moment
Color deep, vibrant, flaring free
A cadence divine
Held I willingly in its seize
Color and capture orchestrated
Frames of Mind, Opus 6.
