Wrote a new tune. Title is "Carry On." I suggest that when you listen to it, you turn the volume down - it's a'capella and sung over the phone so there is some distortion.

Here goes.

Auld Manhattoe #2

Realm of Desire

Wanting, wanting,
waves of desire,
and in its own fulfillment
wanting to want
yet again.

Caught in net,
useless struggle,
net tightens,
no escape,
no surrender.

Puissant wisemen
laugh at my tears,
seeing only
pure sweet
bliss.

Heart Moves

easy to drown
in the sea of love,
wave rises high,
decending in force
upon the open heart,
and in the struggle
oh it's easy to drown
in the sea of love.

easy to flow
in the sea of love,
riding high wave,
resting in its wake.
rhythm of emotion,
rising and falling,
flowing free
in the sea of love.

Treasure Hunt

Lay back on soft grass
and look up at the stars,
on a late summer evening,
hearing frogs and
cicadas, owls, small
creatures, music of the night.

Spacious ease,
vast vault of sky above,
welcoming earth below,
stars mesmerizing the eye,
such great nurture
and consolation.

And perhaps nearby,
the sound of water,
lapping at the shore
all the elements
laying richly
before me.

Seems so simple,
but here in eastcoast clutter,
not so easy
to find.
