as i moved to pick up the pieces to reconstruct my mind and my life, i felt the need to somehow capture whatever small essence of my experience i could. so on a dark late virginia night, i opened up my heart and let my feelings explode and trickle out sounds...this is the unedited result.
the last song and the bonus track were recorded later after pondering my experience a little more (which is why they are louder than the others).

eyes go child, heart go wild
feet carry me away, on to the day
heart go wild, eyes go child
arms reach out for the day
feet carry me away
feet carry me away into the day
eyes go wild, heart go child
Track Name: enter moon
for the first time in forever it seemed, there i was in the cold wind watching the glowing moon cut through the black, until it touched me and absorbed into my skin. until it became a part of me. and i remembered how this happened once before. only the instant i felt that swelling glow in my blood, my selfish darkness screamed out
"NO! YOU ARE KILLING ME!"
and in all my shock and foolishness, i opened up and vomited out the precious gift. as i looked down at the shimmering mass of regurgitated moonlight, i become very frightened. off i ran into the night, clutching tightly to my darkness.
moonlight, come and fill me to the brim
i promise to listen this time
i will climb!
Track Name: unwound continuum
time disappear
unwind me
leave me here
in this place
that is unknown
and feared
Track Name: your heart holds wisdom and it is waiting
my heart, it was never cut away from this
but i start to forget when i get all wrapped up
and i fall into
holes deeper than i can see through
i keep on running away
from what i can't say
from what i can't quite say
but i know that today
i just want to
feel the goodness of the world and forget
that i've done things i regret, so
i will sing until
i feel my heart swell and pull me back into line
i feel my heart swell and pull me back into line
so take the time to get to know your heart
it's waiting there for you and it has been from the start
Track Name: wake up
sometimes i am too mild
and naive like a child
wants to run and play all day
until my eyes get reconciled
with the free flying ways of the days
when i was living
deep in the sparkling flow
of my heart and always giving
and my awareness is a ghost softly crying out my heartsong saying:
