I ask you to please come and listen to my new prayer/song. "Sweet Mystery" which I wrote for and dedicate to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Iconified at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, WA.
Please stop by and check out my newest song "LOVE VINE DIVINE". I'm breaking new ground with this one and I think you'll like the vocal harmonies and rocking rhythm guitar. Let me know what you think! I'm trying to develop different sounds and your input is really appreciated. Thank you as always!
I invite you to come see and hear "My Secret Garden" (My New Song)
"Working all night long in this grave yard Trying to dig a hole in the dark By high noon tomorrow they'll fill this void with an empty casket. I've seen them try to climb over the gate I've seen them try to desecrate Only a few more hours until I see the daybreak Then I'll make, my way To my... secret garden. My refuge and salvation. Where flower petals make perfumes & the dew drops feed the lucent sprites In my... secret garden Where you smell just like fire And as I tip toe right through your Tulips can you feel my desire. Your fingers are just like tendrils that walk over the stones Here I can sit and pretend that I'm a king on a throne Filling my head with the sounds of all of the good modal tones This is a majestic place that shall remain unknown By now They're burying the madness along with the bad bones Nana nana na na Ha ha ha ha hey
A coffin that could have been my bed Instead I'm in this place where angels tread You saved me just in time before I was way in over my head I was hanging on by a thread You bound my nerves, connected my heart to my head A place untold unsaid just 2 icons from the day of the dead. And I see the ivy spread And I hear the trickling waters And I'm sure you know by now that I've waited for this for hours & hours In my secret garden my refuge and my salvation This is my vision & my inspiration, & my elation!
My secret garden, My secret garden, My secret garden!
