New Song: Learn to Morrow

“He said, ‘My name’s The Teacher. Oh, that is what I call  myself. And I have a lesson that I must impart to you, it’s an old expression but I must insist it’s true.’”- Jethro Tull, Teacher

My music mentor, Michael Morrow!

Hey now, what’s that sound?
Can’t you hear the motion in my mind?
I need time to capture all the minutes.
I don’t have a box to keep them still.
Who can help me? Morrow says he will.

Hey now, when’s the day?
Don’t you know this offer will explode?
There’s no limit to your love inside.
But you need to know how to create.
I can help you unload all the weight.

Learn to Morrow, lift your voice in flight.
Learn to Morrow and you’ll be alright.
Joy or sorrow, you can’t pick and choose.
But Learn to Morrow, beat or play the blues.

Hey now, look around
singing, dancing, shining star delight!
We have got the recipe for you.
You can bake it, fry it, mix it up.
Taste it, lick your lips and drain your cup!

Learn to Morrow, shake it up and down.
Learn to Morrow, coming to your town.
Beg or borrow, there’s no need to steal.
Learn to Morrow and your heart will heal.

Hey now! Hell gone! Damn your worried soul.
Hey now! Hell gone! Music takes control.
Today, play through, you can learn the way.
Morrow, Morrow, teach me how to pray.

Learn to Morrow, sing with us tonight.
Learn to Morrow, turn your wrong aright.
Joy or sorrow, beg or borrow, it’s ok.
Learn to Morrow, Learn Today, anyway.

Every Circle has a Turn

This song is dedicated to a member of the Splintered Sunlight Family who brings the dance floor to life. She’s a “bull-headed twin,” Taurus/Gemini cusp. It was written during a Sun/Mercury/N.Node conjunction in Sagittarius, squaring Mars in Virgo.

The Circle Turner

“She dances in a ring of fire and throws off the challenge with a shrug.”- Jim Morrison, All the Poems

Every circle has a turn
Everyone!
has a fire to be burned like the sun
Every circle has a turn
Everyday!
has a night to lead the way to the sun

There ain’t a square that can’t fit a circle in its box of rain
There ain’t a moon that can’t shed a light upon your windowpane
There ain’t a song that’ll keep a dancer sitting on the side
There ain’t a dancer like the lady with a twirling in her eyes

Every circle has a turn
Everyone!
has a fire to be burned like the sun
Every circle has a turn
Everyday!
has a night to lead the way to the sun

There is a girl in the midnight floating on a cloud of sound
She is a wispy, waltzy wonder, glowing round and round
She paints a circle with her arms and paints a heart with care
Take your turn upon the dance floor, follow her spinning hair

And if you feel caught up, just get your feet unstuck and let your spirit lead the way
Forget about tomorrow and yesterday, just keep your focus on today
Join the circle dancer among the sparkling notes of the guitar
She’s a jewel-maker, sundrop nightshaker stirring up the stars

Every sunrise has a light
Everyday!
is a fight to keep the darkness away.
Every morning has a sun
Everyday!
is a reason to believe in everyone.

And every circle has a turn…
