Beneath the Sea
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/beneath-the-sea
Through the journey, life arrives
Underwater – start their lives
Stable neither hot nor cold
Soft tiny eggs there to behold
Of such a time, lay vulnerable
For many eggs is tactical
Protection of the animal
Camouflaged with gravel
Frogs and toad, amphibian class
Eggs that float in jelly mass
From tadpole to a metamorph
The stages of which to transform
The brooding pouch of the seahorse
Protection from an outside force
Hatch of species, tiny...

Due Season
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/due-season
Vertebrates with feathers and tails
Reptiles with their shiny scales
Birds of which that range in size
Returning cycles that comprise
Solid seal, protective shell
Danger near, seek to repel
Contained therein with varied roles
Porous eggs of tiny holes
Nest of twigs, eggs to hide
Incubate the birds inside
Predators across the land
Hiding place beneath the sand
Born to hunt, equipped with age
Acquired mate, there to engage
Age’s grand of which to...

Mammals of the Earth
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/mammals-of-the-earth
Early stages of nurture, nature commence
Embracing their vulnerability
The warmth of parental care
Expansion and development
Protection from within
Safety of the uterus, comfort living
Nutritional supply through the umbilical cord
Where life has begun
There are herbivores ready to run
Gestures of giraffes
Leaping deer
We can but revere
Kangaroo offspring, resting pouch
The young will latch
Preparation for a time beyond
Bonding baboons, close knit...

Anticipated anthem
Beating bass drum
Clamouring cymbals
Chorus chime
Clarinet concert
Chanting choir
Dynamic debut
Eerie echo
Fiddlers flute
Fascinating fanfare
Humming harmonica
Harp in harmony
Improvised intervals
Music melody
Mouth movement
Nostalgic note
Oscillating octave

Resounding rhythm
Resonating rhyme

The Enchanted Door
https://youtu.be/T0j3lfikBG8
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/the-enchanted-door-poem
Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you see
A garden filled with charming buds, thyme and rosemary
Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you hear
Bumble bees humbly, buzzing endless cheer
Peering through the enchanted door, tell me what you feel
A soft and velvet texture, light and so surreal
Walking through the enchanted door, tell me what you hear
A clamouring of tambourines is sounding very near

Fortress on High

Fortress on high, stands fortified
Tower of the valley and countryside
Bow and arrow, sovereign sword
Comfort chamber, homely lord
Magnificent halls of grand prestige
Throughout the ages castles besieged
Guard protection, tall high tower
Stronghold defence of such great power
Order of the king, show loyalty
Rebellion against the royalty
Blacksmiths, merchants, products sold
Working life for adult role
Wealthy lords and active knights

To Live By Faith
Verse 1
To play it’s safe is out of the question
Living by my fullest expression
With open doors, a welcoming season
An unseen force, above any reason
To discontinue building someone else’s dream
I’ll trust the process of acquired means
Chorus
To live by faith, when others doubt it
The kind of faith that can move mountains
To live by faith, water flowing over
Going beyond the mediocre, oh yeah
Verse 2
Drawing to that joyful feeling
The future’s bright, a timely revealing

Ancient Pyramids
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/ancient-pyramids
Astounding wonders of the Earth
Statues that have stood the test of time
Ancient structures of pyramids
Seemingly a series of sequential steps
Others found on higher ground
Stony blocks, weight in tonnes
Hauled into place, workers of the great
Deep within a royal tomb
Gleaming smooth surface
Stripped of limestone covering
That of great measure
Preservation thereof, a mummy rests
Clothes and jewellery to the afterlife
Avid depths of chambers
Pyramid passage ...

Processes of Life
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/processes-of-life
The basic essence of being alive
The process to live and thrive
Movement as the ability to move
Respire to release energy from food
Response to changes, sensitivity
Building blocks, growing steadily
Reproduction of offspring
Excreting waste, healthy living
Food for energy, vital nutrition
Life processes of healthy condition

When There’s Nothing Else
Verse 1
Whisperings in the dark, be my light and meet me where you are
You said be not afraid, I kneel before you, with casted burdens laid
In a dry and thirsty land, come unto you, be guided by your hand
With a parchment of the field, I find a well, the sources spring revealed
Chorus
When there’s nothing else, nothing else, to give you but myself
In place of apparent wealth, you are my foundation, you’re my light and my health
For you are my strength and you are my shield, without you, there’s no shining light in me
For you are my...

Dazzling Butterfly
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/dazzling-butterfly
Bold, dazzling butterfly
Spread your wings, release, defy
Blend amongst the coloured flowers
Resting through nocturnal hours
Basking balanced blissfully
Blossomed nature blessed and free
Soar beyond the boundary
Transformed so dramatically
Breakaway beyond the sky
Brush of brilliance, mystify
Beaming colours of fresh appeal
Dazzling butterfly, so surreal

Active Emotions
https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/active-emotions
The aardvark who was ashamed looked at the floor
The ant that was angry banged on the door
The bee who was bold ventured on a quest
The bear who was bored drew upon his vest
The cat that was calm never entered rage
The cockatiel who was content sung in his cage
The crocodile that was cheerful looked very pleased
The deer who was disgusted brushed against the trees
The dog who was delighted wagged his tail high
