Season of Light - 5 Solstice Songs for 2007

gods rest ye If only that were what it's all about Communal fire, warm and glowing Cooking up a feast enough to fill our bellies and our larders for wintry weeks to come; Exchanging the gifts our separate crafts empower with wishes of good will; good cheer, inebriating spirits raised and quaffed against chill or fear of night; If only peace and sensitive portrayal of the gift of human frailty were the point and purpose of a season, voices pitched to harmonize for beauty's sake; If only we could reach into legendary epiphany, reach out in simple empathy, if only we could simply be merry. Winter Song O' Mother Sun Winter homage to our waning Sun that she will return, feeding us with light and heat, sweet energy. Mother Star, we enchant thee with ceremony, singing/dancing in glorious pageantry at your feet, a synergy of faith and formal prayer. We are your children, refining your gift of life, designing grand structures, grander dreams, imaging rainbows from your streaming light; see how our visions learn to take flight under your warm embrace and on through the night. These long dark nights, we beseech you, reach out to join our hands, sharing warmth of your reflected love, Mother Sun. (c) December 10, 2007 Laurie Corzett/libramoon Trees to Dream on Pine mountain scent majestic snow-globe memories ancient beings twixt sky and earth basking in the waning sunlight, twinkling night encroaching, fluttering leaves cast in white lace and starry splendor. Long have we lived cycling through death's rebirth, seasons of land and sea linked in living countenance open to winds of fate and change. Days have been when brutal cold demanding sacrifice saw hunt and harvest. Nights given to ceremony, eloping frenzied dance, spontaneous gaiety -- a tribal stew of sustenance warming spirit and body through the dark times. Built on timber, built on years of sun, storm, forces claimed and reconfigured to bring us here, reconnecting, anchoring to tales told in firelight. Warm wood, bright tinder, holding ancient light, charms, secrets, holding warmth to warmth, life to life year to year. (c) December 8, 2007 Laurie Corzett/libramoon Beneath the Winter Sky Beneath a veil of painful confusion Beyond a settling into daily grind Amidst the stars, in blinding profusion Hidden in interstices of time See the glory Feel the energy Inhale sweet fumes of delight A living story retold through synergy rekindles our vision through the night if we but look through a vaster range of sight Voices in unison are singing Invocations beautiful and wise In the distance holy bells are ringing If we can discern through the disguise the message this time of year keeps bringing a life-giving promise from the skies __._,_.___ Bright lights entice our weary eyes Spritely carols fill the air Stories abound of precious losses found, to inspire Treats so sweet ignite a childlike fire A season for sensual pleasure while diving for spiritual treasure can be such a joy beyond measure This special time Make it yours; and shine like a guiding star enlightening the darkest skies. (c) December 13, 2007 Laurie Corzett/libramoon

Not in Our Name Nobody wins in a war (well, maybe a few financiers of war industries, but) Not us, not them, not humanity Not the dead, not the living Not the yet to be born Not the land, water, air, our natural resources Not the roads, buildings, pipes, utility lines, the infrastructure Not love or peace or morality Not human nature Not Right Not Justice Not God Not the battlegrounds or the cemeteries, or the unhealable wounds in our souls Whatever we may hope to accomplish with war, There are better ways. Study War No More What lesson can be applied? When imperialist troops crash down upon a people's pride? When might as right meets the instinct to survive? When Midas greed lashes out to destroy? We've been here before, o my brethren, o my children -- repeating the fouled lessons poured into our thirsty minds, pushing back the horror before our eyes with blinding rage forged into weapons by mortal foes who hide in plain sight. The only thing I know -- The lesson repeating agony in all our souls, Haunted by the pleading eyes and bloody hearts Of the slaughtered sacrifices to malignant gods -- There is something vital here to learn.

hurricane like a hurricane like a natural disaster wind and rain laying waste to my life. tossed, torn, left astray and a stranger in the way, or at least not the norm. a sad wastrel left adrift in the storm. sing my wanderers' song tonight. let the wind carry my fading melody off onto wind-whipped ports of call. my breath's been carried out to sea nothing left to become of me once the hurricane has passed into the day the foggy, rainy day . . . I gaze upon the ragged sea.

poem(s) of the day

(some days are longer than others)

It was a warm and windy day, bittersweet in springtime, the trees, newly leaved, swayed in the warm, sweet melody. It was a day to kick stones along a riverbank and dream, before a night of jukebox music and cokes at the local diner. What kind of day are you? Autumnal Vision Wind, rain: a snuggle under the covers morning Dreamtime -- "dreaming of the way things might have been"? Someone asked: What short of revolution could remake the world to be more fair, peaceful, more encouraging of love? My new mantra: "lighten up": Eyes upward, facing mysteries of stars and heavens Heart lightened, to more merry, merry be I lighten the load to my aching shoulders, and find worlds of light and joy easier to carry I look to ancient wisdoms to enlighten my soul And I laugh, lightly, brightly, let loose too tightly inheld breath of fear/hate/judgment. Breathing freely, I inhale the exhilarating scent of changing leaves zen cards spirit e-cards knife's edge My heart is on the edge of a knife-- not licensed surgery just self-medication for pain. What else is true? Betrayal by the gods can result in confusion. Sometimes it all seems clear and clean and real -- When sensation makes sense. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, 'cause they're all busy looking at their own. Knife's edge -- the end of the rainbow See the shining beatitude, the joyous reunion. When all the lonely, separated strands and coloured bands finally find their proper placement in celestial harmony. Oh, the trumpets will sound calling all to glory. But what else is true? Are there cries for war throughout the land? Are there crises crying for attendance while our leaders are otherwise involved? Are there cowering souls, beyond earthly torment, crying for release while hiding in cubicles or corner offices or ivory towers playing at mind games, convoluted strategies, never quite sure who they are? Are there banners flying, urging all to attend the great banquet? Is this the feast for which we've come? The knife cuts both ways. Does it matter why we bleed? Timothy McVeigh Is Still Dead It's morning in America The morning of June 11, 2001 A warm and beautiful Spring day And in Terre Haute, Indiana -- a little after 7:00 am -- Timothy McVeigh is dead. What more is there to say? We all know the score: Death: 169, Mercy: 0 The hero "bloody, but unbowed" Silenced, but still proud Ashes to scattered ashes Death to death. Lifelines It's a tale many times in the telling Of wisdom and wonder and enchantment foretold. Captivating, yes compelling. But catch it now, before you're old (We're so soon old.). Cross country wide and free; a gypsy's life by caravan And what is yet to be is stretching wide, without a plan. Try, if you can, to imagine just how you're gonna end. . . . You're gonna end. Past ships and planes and miles of dusty road, It's all been told . . .and then retold. We've lived a thousand lives before, we the vagabonds of Earth But let me try to tell to you my story, it's all I own Whatever be its worth. It started in a coffeehouse so many years ago Where poets of our century were wont to waste their days And in those days did bright mindwaves cast their nets and flow To catch up young unruly souls and charge them with the craze For adventuring -- for "something new" To catch a star and follow wherever it should lead To search out the holy answer to the ache of human need To be the first new holy breed to wholey shake the Earth To usher in a promised age, so many years in birth. It was a time of carousels and colored lights; A time of feeling grandly strong and right; A time when Life was just beyond our sight. What made it go? Which corner was the wrong one turned? Or is it merely time to take things slow, To gather up the threads of what we've learned? The darkness cast upon us, how was it earned? Oh yes, I meant to tell you of brilliant desert skies And city street romances that sparkled ere they died. Of Denver's summer snowstorm and LA's winter flood And secret, solemn friendship pacts seal'd in summer blood. Of a much awaited sunrise within a foreign town Of food and flowers and incense freely passed around Of turquoise rings & violent springs & jails of many brands And music wafting through the streets Of gentle smell of smoke so sweet And wondrous madmen once to meet who read witchcraft in your hand. And so much more; yes, lifetimes more. I would give it all to you, asking nothing in return But that you seek, in your own style, for yourself to learn Of corners waiting yet to turn before our time is through. And perhaps one day you'll say to me: "Yes, the answer's here! Yes, the answer's clear!" And you will say to all of us: "Here's what we must do." Before our time is through . . . LINK: ENERGY from the SUN Approaching Millennium She sits in an old rocking chair And questions the silence of night. As the waves blow, the winds flow, the sands sift with sea And faraway stars shine in soft mystery Her eyes shine with starlight and stare at the sea Asking questions as ancient as night Expecting no sign to appear. In the village, at noon, on the square Beneath the near blinding day light, Sits a man with a plan he's no means to play Wondering how he will get through his day And just where, this night, he will finally lay (Yes, beneath which exit light?) Expecting no sign to appear? I questioned myself on a dare Tell me: What's wrong and what's right? Have I caught a new thought that God has no mind? We search for salvation that's nowhere to find? or merely grown tired of life's daily grind, Not caring to search for the light, Expecting no sign to appear. We children of flowers and light Have we turned to dour-faced fear Our dreams sacrificed to the night Expecting no sign to appear?

Life, the Universe and Everything (for Patty) Let's talk about life the one you have and the one you imagined . . . With all the world of possibilities, what have you settled for? Waking up in the cool, cool morning Autumn crisp -- as your lungs reach for air The sounds, the smells, the awaited adventures Anticipation . . . Or merely another day? Do you long for love in the dark, dusky evening? Do you count the countless stars, knowing a miracle is on its way? Has the chill of eternity captured your imagination? What anchors you to Earth? What makes you want to stay? A journey of a thousand destinies Written deep within your soul Traveling daily through all the possibilities Which are the parts that make you whole?

A Knock on the Duir

poems for other days

 Juicy round autumn burnished red and golden mesmerizing quality of time today. Hunger forgotten when life is a garden sow and weep while you sleep a new day grows. Getting our time together Getting in touch with weather again And there's been so much to weather Again and again and again. Sunrays are playing Warming the walkways Flashing out rainbows in random puddles and streams. Clear skies and starlight Awaken the night hours Expanding the time to harvest our dreams.

 Sun in Leo, Moon in Libra Sitting here, in the cluttered fan-cooled kitchen While a storm-brewing wind rustles through the garden below. The California wine tastes tart and sticky. The wine tells me stories, you know. It's the redness and the way the light reflects against the glass, along with the drug. Hearing voices in the silent darkness, I listen without question. As the night slowly falls, I envision fantasies of former lives: Glistening ball gowns and a smiling orange moon in a starlit sky appear in my mind's eye along with jugglers and dancers. A fortune-telling maiden in glorious rags places cards upon a table: "The red one is Death; the white one is Honour; the green one is Fortune; the blue one is Love." She lives in a log cabin with a unicorn and goat who feed and clothe her and keep her safe. There are many things I need to know and few to tell me. So I listen to the wine's stories. I wish it were my garden, below. I would go out barefoot and gather ripe vegetables under the moon, breathing deeply of the cool night air. Order of the White Lion  CHAOS-STARS E-LIST

OR MAYBE CINCINNATI The crowd dissolves and I am left in a sad corner holding a wrinkled overcoat wishing for warm holiday homecoming goodwill. But the endless night enwraps my mind leaving me twisted jumping here and there without purpose. Johnny didn't have a penny, but he had good looks and good times & Mary had her pimp's abortion to even the score But no one took the beggar seriously when he said that times had turned to emptiness. No one believed in fulfillment; No one had the time. & the crowd dissolved vanished into the fog tho ectoplasmic energies milled about the mainfare. It was Thursday in the rain and mist and sooted brownstones. And the streetlamps only served as muted halos like the cafe neon flashing. So I stopped in for another beer and borrowed music & listened to the couple in the next booth discuss their barren lives & thought of 19th century philosophers who make me sad & wished for a breezy bright beach in May & wrote you another letter to be locked in my diary. So I'm thinking of splitting for the coast or maybe Cincinnati But my overdraft is overdrawn and I'm not strong enough to hitchhike and maybe tomorrow just won't happen if I can find the right door to oblivion. But maybe tomorrow will dawn bright and warm and smiling and the labor pool will call me and the coffee buns will be sweet at breaktime and someone will smile at me and come to my barstool to shoot the breeze and share my dreaming And the crowd will dissolve And the people will emerge.

Venus Guide Us to Peace a meditative poem Not just sweetness and light There is a strength; there is conviction -- there is a vibrant dedication to true worth. If we can but believe again in all the humane virtues -- Love is sharing, in kindness, understanding, supportive regard. Love is forgiving and being forgiven, when it is clear that malice was not intended or malice has been exorcised -- an acceptance of the positive power of change, of growth in spirit. Love is the assumption of "we." We are doing being going having creating We are able to exchange our labor, knowledge, possessions, positions We are able to take in more than I -- to synergize our fortunes into wealth and integral well being. Love is not just a song -- a pretty set of symbols Love is a power and a glory and an all encompassing truth. Love is addition and multiplication, not division or subtraction. Love enriches and inspires us. Love is not blind, not foolish. Love is not denying the self or self interest. Love is seeing clearly, knowing wisely, understanding and expanding the self -- expanding outward to take in the universe of interconnected, interdependent being. Love sees the ugliness; and love sees the beauty. The ugliness saddens; the beauty invigorates. Love is to peace as music is to harmony. But how are we to love in a discordant world? It is within us to pick out the true, enduring melody to which our essential selves are tuned -- If we but look to, listen to, open our selves to Venus, the Goddess of Love, Peace, Justice, Harmony as she manifests within us all.

Mississippi Riverside romance one dusky June Turned into a winter poem By firelight -- light of the moon. We loved and parted all too soon Each to return, a separate home Riverside romance one dusky June. I catch a glint, a ring of spoon Flashing through the tale I spin By firelight -- light of the moon. Sometimes at night I hear you croon: "We never had a chance to win." Riverside romance one dusky June By firelight -- light of the moon.

The moon is blue and dreaming Cry all my children to sleep In conquest dreams we deem to rule In darkest halls we plot in torment In empty caverns we deify glory Dance, again, dance for freedom Dance my children to sober dreaming Of valor and honor and color and pain Dance and cry and strive again To hold a mass and state the Name Call forth my demons from sleep The songs of old and runes of yore The empty words we've learned to score The high and low and even Listen and you'll hear them moan It's dark and dirty here below The emptiness can drive you To a place you ought not go You'll die in horror screaming Cry all my children to sleep The moon is blue and so are you You'll hear its song so clearly And discount it all to dreams And when you wake, you'll wonder Why you're screaming Why you ache in places you can't feel Why your work and world don't seem so real Why the voices in your head are screaming And you'll count the phases of the moon And wander in the night without direction And keep a silent vigil in your secret heart And turn quickly round the corners, Lest someone see you And when the curse is cast, you'll hear it spoken Without bothering to look for the absent speaker And when the moon has turned its face To other dreamers You'll see a vision overpower the sky And answer . . . when you ask it "why?" The moon is blue and dreaming. Mushroom teacups sail in stardust withered laurels snap in dustwhirls tethered horsemen roam the skyways soldiered remnants hiss through brushwoods All is soon made clear.

A Kodak Moment

[these are actually song lyrics. some people have offered to write the music for them. if you would like to write your own music, i would love to hear it.]

Picture you in a fairy-tale moment Picture me as I was always meant to be Picture us rolling through green meadows Picture everybody happy In my life of quiet desperation I still try to find the time to dream Look at us, we're quite a combination Wonder if we'll be happy Picture love as quiet desperation Picture life as where we have to be Picture time away from aggravation Picture everybody happy Picture you in a fairy-tale moment Picture me as I was always meant to be Picture us rolling through green meadows Picture everybody happy Art Image Link This Druid Seat site owned by Laurie Corzett.

The Druid's Opera

A joyous encounter with life A joyous encounter called my life I've swung from trees in tropical times And swum the seas of paradise And learned to breathe upon the earth You've got to see me; you've got to listen To these wonders that I've learned. Traveling, traveling a hard-stoned road Working my legs, my mind, carrying my load Journeying for countless years Seeking out the sea of tears Eyes blinded by a black lace veil I break my trail (As in my mind my thoughts unwind my tale) A marvelous secret, a hidden treasure trove While unicorns play harpsichord Within a blossomed grove A newborn child with something wild that plays in rainbowed eyes Has been declared of druid laird born to hypnotize Been borne to hypnotize Sing lullabies Reward all the heathen with sleep And dreaming dreams as such who waken Find their very core earthshaken And made to believe in possibilities They set their sites, reshaping all reality And of them they've begotten me. Sound the magic pipes of Pan All who hear may understand The fluid waif who walks the land Spawn of Diana's fling With the clove-footed king Vibrate to music, music, music In every cell of living fluid 'Tis alright to be a druid Of forest borne to roam through future lands Touch me, touch me, touch me, touch me Become my hands. Floating, wandering, restless dreams Call me to respond. I rode a mountain faire Picked daisies for my hair Learned to know the name of every weed I dwelt the night alone In a crevice made of stone And never thought of what I next would need I dreamt of castles bold And the language of the Olde And struggled to bring my dreams alive And whistled as I rode The songs I'd oft been told At parties seen In waking dream Another place and time Another tune, another rhyme And I'd sit beside my campfire And gaze into the flames And yearn of learning other places, Atune to other names Traveling over other lands, Seeking secrets, other plans Or just remembering another song For the secret of each soul is in its song. Blazing all around Miles from bare ground Twisting twig upon an aery sea. Luminescent way Whatcha gonna say Songbird, whistle your wisdom to me. A maid of golden wings In lullabying sings Of white sails racing in the wind. No two are e're the same Of the tales she can name Oh, nightingale -- take me in! Blazing all around Miles from bare ground Journeying upon a vessel rare Silently I sing To hold remembering Magic castles in the air. Getch yer gimme Pull that file! Collapse that case! You are obsolete -- unexistent And ain't no one gonna hire you in this industry. Whatcha holding on to? Whatch gonna live for? Got a score to settle while the dying's cheap Gonna find a rooftop and fire. Gonna tap a neural gap and get higher. Gonna hold a seance and retire. Become a log a'rotting in the wood Enter eternity a nonfunctioning robot Captured in celluloid, electronic impulses Air tremors and interruptions in space. We make no difference to a meteor -- Any blind force that destroys without design -- We make no difference to our own kind. Blind orgiastic miasma Pressing, moaning, sucking in life. Entropy. Elegy. Ontogeny. Images of innocence float by in my mind I'm looking for a pot of gold I never hope to find And wonder in the dark of night What if I should go blind. Today is made of yesterdays, Tonight of yestereves. The spoken words I say to you I hope you won't believe. We've but so little time my friend, Too little time to grieve. And I wonder in my heart of hearts Just where all will lead. Will I once more take an oath of pain And watch my body bleed Or will I learn that living's When you take all that you need? Busy work, busy talk, trying to make time Talk of energy, talk of war, Talk of who you're out to score Learn to love and disremember Trying to make time; dying to make time. Try to run and they've got you busted. Try to hide, try to hide, try to hide. Everyone's there to be mistrusted. Try to hide, try to hide, try to hide. What's left of you inside? You are of me. You are one of me. You see what I see. You do what I see. You do what I command. I've got you in my hand. I've got you underhand. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. You are far away. You are very far away. You don't do what I say. You don't hear what I say. I'm screaming "go away." Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away. I'm sitting in my room. I've got you in my room. I see you in my womb. You got away too soon. You haven't got a chance. No, not a bloody chance. I circle in my dance. I've got you in my dance. In a trance, in a trance, in a trance, in a trance Come on -- DANCE! Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. Touch me. DANCE! Quietly, quickly, without a trace Annihilate an entire race Stealthily, silently my poison kills To cleanse this land of a people's ills. The key's been cast, so lock the door On lies and poverty; greed and war. Purify in red hot fire Diefy the symbol of desire And when all desire's turned to dust Etch in fire: "IN GOD WE TRUST." A sacred trust. Sound the bell Sound the bell Sound the bell slowly O'er all we've made holy. Ring bright pure-toned peals O'er gold flaming fields In music now seal'd the end of our fate. Sound the bell. Sound the bell. And now I sail from the sea of Lethe A phoenix, risen from my death To journey on through time and space Progenitor to the human race. [The Druid's Opera was originally conceived as a multi-media event -- if you would like to perform it, please let me know.]

AIN'T NOBODIES' BUSINESS IF YOU DO Peter McWilliam is dead -- June 14, 2000 -- r.i.p.
a noble educator killed in his prime by the senseless "war on drugs"

thoughts provocateur

Listening to daily news reports, I am assaulted by senseless acts of violence and despair. It has been occurring to me that our world need not be such an ugly and hopeless place for so many of our citizens. With the technology already available, we could provide the means to more happily fulfilled lives for a great many more of us, thereby ending the bulk of beastly behavior engendered by squalid environments and the anger/apathy reactions to a derth of meaningful alternatives in so many lives. The media is full of woeful tidings about young people involved with drugs and inappropriate sexual experiences -- an outgrowth of the glorification of such activities in the same media, but also the reaching out for somekind of experience in a world that allows very little in the way of achievement or fulfilling activities for the young. Young children are subjected to all kinds of horrible experiences perpetrated by their so-called caretakers, both abusing parents and those in whose care the parents mistakenly leave them in order to go to jobs to provide for the material needs of the family. People in many parts of the world suffer basic deprivations of food and shelter. Many children face lifelong handicaps resulting from early malnutrition. Many are left with lifelong emotional and physical scars from having to fend for themselves on the streets from an early age. Violence is learned as the appropriate reaction to anger and frustrations. In the media and on the streets, violence is glorified and rewarded. Love is seen as being linked to pain, of betrayal, of loss, and the love/pain link experienced in abusive family relationships. Poverty both material and emotional is endured, but not quietly. Violent reactions are visited especially on the families and neighbors themselves subject to these brutalizing environments, as well as upon those who are materially better off, in the form of all manner of violent crime. The criminal justice system seems to only reflect and propagate the brutalizing conditions which do nothing to amerliorate the hate, pain, frustrations in an endless cycle of violence, victimizing victims and perpetrators and numbing the sensibilities of the professionals who attempt to work within the system. The education system fails to educate in most of the areas that we need to understand to function in our world. How much do we learn in school (or even at home or on the streets) about basic health and safety, financial management, childcare, legal rights and responsibilities, building meaningful relationships, building self-esteem, building and maintaining a home? Instead, most of what our young people learn in the schools that they must spend most of their formative years attending seems to be more destructive and counterproductive than truly useful. Like it or not, our children (the children of our world, be we parents or not) are our future. The quality of life we can look forward to is the quality of life we teach our children to expect and produce. And in the present we live out the expectations we are producing today. Do we really want a world based on violence and ignorance? I don't. I want a world in which I and my loved ones could live in relative peace, security and well-informed choice. Yet, what am I doing to promote such a world? I see the misfortunes around me, and feel hopelessly frustrated, beyond any attempt at change. "I am, after all, only one relatively powerless person," I say, and go on with my daily chores, which, after all, leave me little time or energy for doing battle with the powers that shape my surroundings. I have come up with several ideas and fantasy scenerios which I believe would, if implemented, result in a happier world. I do not expect you to agree with my ideas. In fact, I would be highly gratified if you would disagree, and in your disagreement develop or expand ideas of your own which you might share, thereby increasing the energy expended toward positive change in opposition to the apathy or uselessly expended anger against vague or inappropriate targets which, I fear, are overwhelming our healthier impulses. And, if by chance you do agree with any of my ideas, perhaps you could expand on them or help to devise more effective methods of implementation than I have yet been able to imagine. It is said that imagination can be a powerful tool toward change. Perhaps the opening of channels of communication for our positive imaginings might help us to create a world in which we could be prouder and happier to live.
