SONGS FROM THE OPEN 2008, 2009 by Dag Furuholmen
[music]
LOGOS
As words emerge from that depth
Spoken from no address You sense the ground
of what you are A mystery arriving
[music]
THE OPEN
Past that high ledge such magnificence
Snowy mountains transparent with age and beauty
The wonder of being part of this vastness
Conscious and sensing such joy in the heart
Searching this last ledge that depth of your being
Allowing the full view your birthright of grace
[music]
MOTHER
Those rocks those old callous limbs
and parts of mother earth Lines and curves
still holding us to her crusty ***
Bruising us and rocking us to sleep
Supporting our run across her soft wet meadows
welcoming our existence
[music]
PRESENCE
Love The flow of hereness
Present in yourself and with the other
This openness allowing the present
without leaving home
[music]
IN THE OPEN
Winds are moving through my chest
Sounds are singing through my head
Looking in to find myself All there is is empty space
Nothing sticks and nothing lasts No positions in this vast
Everything is left alone Simplicity and joy
[music]
LOST
All these lost children longing for guidance
and comfort looking to each other
for greatness in despair
All these lost men and women looking for leaders
creating Gods of wrath and virtue
missing their own ground
All these lost fathers we're all searching for
everywhere not willing to remember
that pure longing
[musical interlude]
ALIGNED
Resting in this vastness Abiding in this peace
no manipulation or preparing to appear
Aligned with your own being you fall into yourself
resting in this freshness not knowing what comes next
[music]
WAITING
No trying just waiting
For brightness to shine That flow of creation and joy
Not knowing still trusting
From nowhere it comes The sacred arrives like a song
[music]
NOTHINGNESS FRIEND
Lie down and rest old nothingness friend
those busy hopes of pride and glory
Lay down and rest and leave me be
this moment in the open
[music]
HEALED
Such peace today forgiven and healed
in this inner space
A gentle heart left alone
resting in the open
[music]
DAUNTING
As we talk I'm gone
Seeing you from far away with the eyes of stillness
Where I belong
Being God's eyes can be daunting
You say I agree
[music to end...]
