about

a cabin full of stories.
winter winds that came through
the cracks but there was music
and poetry & beautiful friends.

the stars polished the mountains
on certain nights. the moon also had a lot
to do with it. especially when it was
full. the stars—poems that call for music
to live by.

the dark trees stretch upward—expecting to fly
the stars are cast as witnesses to an unending sky

lyrics

the moon paints a picture outside my door
and scatters its shadows out across my floor
the light spills through windows and splashes on the wall
the night it is so quiet it’s hardly there at all

the landscape becomes flooded with a delicate glow
the mountains stand so silent—all silhouettes and snow
the dark trees stretch upward expecting to fly
the stars are cast as witnesses to an unending sky

it’s like looking out the window to find out where you are
then you see your own reflection—you don’t have to look that far
it’s like looking at people to find out who you are
then you look inside yourself

sometimes i get to thinking until i can’t think anymore
the times i win the times i lose the times i don’t keep score
but now i’m taken back to places and to things that have since past
the times are meant to pass us by but the dreams are made to last
and i try to put some meaning to the patterns that i see
somehow it feels like endless reels of film inside of me

it’s like looking out the window to find out where you are
then you see your own reflection—you don’t have to look that far
it’s like looking at people to find out who you are
then you look inside yourself

the moon paints a picture …
