Dance of peace

Eternity,
I need to feel you calling me in my heart.
Mist and cold
Shroud this dry earth
Let our rebirth start within me.
Snow of the sky
Blow all our dreams
Into the love that made us all.
This is the dance of peace
Don’t hurt another man
Don’t fight
This is the dance of peace
Showering rain
Gently soak our skin
Penetrate right in and drench the soul.
Great rain storm
Crash through our fear
Let us hold you close all love so dear.
Sunshine renew
Our greatest love
Of all your earth and sky above
This is the dance of peace
Don’t hurt another man
Don’t fight
This is the dance of peace

Nets of plenty

NETS OF PLENTY
The bell tolls to the morning
Oh the bell tolls to the sea
Young men awake
To the nets of plenty
Following boats towards the sea.
In soft flowing the breeze was sailing
Out beyond the waters deep
Cloud puffed sky
Catch seagulls wailing.
As timbers sway and canvas creaks.
Of fishes caught in times of plenty
Where cream was drawn from a cooling pail
And bread was baked
And draped with honey
And waters drawn from a stone deep well.
Soft lowing deep in the rushes
Waking birds rise greet the dawn
Lifting sun drops dew in cleansing
And fills the eyes of the nestling fawn
Of flowers grace to weave so pretty
Deep within dark heads of hair
Of salty taste
On lips so tasty
Where the bell tolls of her care
Singing songs in a croft of bracken
Gentle Mary kneads mothers’ dough
Songs to her man
Long hair and flowing
Sliding through the barley sow
The bell tolls to the morning
Oh the bell tolls to the sea
Young men awake
To the nets of plenty
Following boats towards the sea.

Hirondelle

HIRONDELLE
The swallows swift to wait for hours
To time towards the sun
The sun is swift to wait for hours and sun on every one
It’s a game of love of love to be here
Playing with our lives so easily
Hirondelle, Hirondelle swallow down below
Hirondelle, Hirondelle hanging in the sky
Children are born and come for gladness
To share our company
To show us still where we have come from
To help us see the sea
The sea is free within all human hearts
Within all human
Hirondelle…
She will grow and keep that gladness
And share it all the same
Not knowing the love that always calls her
Beckoning her name
She will call one day into her soul
Is someone listening within me?
There’s someone listening within me
There’s someone listening
Hirondelle…
And from that well that she is digging
A murmur simmers through
A bubble touches a wave of joy there
And bubbles right on through
And slowly through that hidden doorway
She will come as we are listening
Hirondelle…

BRIGHT BLUE EYES
My woman with such bright blue eyes
May I always sing with you?
Watching your face in a smile
Warms me deep all the while
Songs of love and golden days
Truth in which we both grow
Light and love and harmony
That’s all we want to know

Bottle

BOTTLE
I found a bottle deep and green crystal clear
I heard the sea as I leant it to my ear
Today tomorrow you can’t guarantee
You can have just what you see
You can’t guarantee
You know the bottle I told you of before
As I was listening it shattered to the floor
Today tomorrow you can’t guarantee
You can have just what you see
You can’t guarantee
I took the bottle and I stuck it up with glue
And by the morning it was just as good as new
Today tomorrow you can’t guarantee
You can have just what you see
You can’t guarantee
I leant the neck again up to my ear
The blue was rising ever coming near
I heard the sea again crashing din
Looking inside the waves were rolling in

WHERE CAN WE GO Steven Ash 1983
Where can we go,
we really need your love,
where can we run too,
run too, run too.
The flowers have no choice,
they grow within your grace,
they have no need to run there,
run there, run there.
The gulls within your sky they just fly around
They circle in your love blue
The heart within my heart
It too needs to fly
Into the place that you live, you live, you live

EASILY Steven Ash 1985
Calling I feel myself calling you
Falling I don’t want to fall away
Needing I need to always love you
How much does it take to appreciate?
Forget so easy I forget so easily
Learning you’re teaching me to devote
My life into the source of all
I need you I need to ask you inside
To open the gates and let me be real
And feel you so easy to feel you so easily
To feel you so easy to feel you so easily
It’s on a plateau its there I feel I’ve arrived
I’m loosing my heads in the sky
I remember you are always calling me in
You sing in my heart so easily
You sing so easy you sing in me so easily
You sing so easy you sing in me so easily

Holy Name

HOLY NAME
Holy Name is the same for every one
In the heart deep within from where life began
So near in my heart I need to feel
Holy Name takes me off that imagined wheel
Going round on its course where all are lost
So little faith in Holy Name where none are lost
An open heart is all I need there I can feel
All the love brimming through that you reveal
Holy Name is the same for every one
In the heart deep within from where life began
Fill my life with laughter
Fill my life with fun
Fill my life with knowing you
In which I have just begun
The point of light can be seen and focused on
The sun inside where in peace the soul can reside
The song of love in the whirl of living flesh
Heavens hum in the heart of the human breast
The feel of all is within we can hold onto
Constantly drawing in eternity
Holy Name is the same for every one
In the heart deep within from where life began
Fill my life…
Give me more I need to know you flowing free
In my heart in my soul in true vitality
I am found I am built I can touch and feel
I can love I can live free from guilt
You have made such a dream I have my share
Take me home to your name let my heart rest there
Holy Name is the same for every one
In the heart deep within from where life began
Fill my life…

Sophies Prayer

SOPHIES PRAYER Steven Ash 1986
Please, please lord, let Sophie feel how you touch her
Please, please God, let Sophie be pain free
With all my heart I’m calling you, flying cloud on the sea
As shadows passing over her, shower your rain on Sophie.
Please, please lord, let Sophie’s breath be with you
Please, please God let Sophie know that you are here
As your river’s fast running, makes your water clear
Clear her heart inwards, please let Sophie hear.
Sweet, sweet God let Sophie know how to taste you
The wind, the wind tastes of salt on her lips
Your sweet scent is her yearning, call her tongue to your speech
Let her feel, let her feel you, in you she will reach.
Serve, serve love, and find where it’s going
Seed, seed love and be part of loves sowing
Let her grow in your waking, let her stretch in her sleep
And when she is lost she is not loosing, in your love she will keep

The mist
05:10
|

In my vision, I saw these beings all moving through a mist
The path was white, the mist was light, and trees were shrouded on either side.
The first no matter what they did, moving sat or stood
They disturbed the mist that passed through the wood
Others were standing and weaving to and fro
But they did not disturb the mist, the mist as white as snow
I am very very happy indeed, and I know we will all succeed
with a little bit of spice in our lives
Sunset with full moon, late autumn winter come soon
with a little bit of spice in our lives
My friends got the key, and I know we will all succeed
with a little bit of spice in our lives

Love comes from somewhere
At times life is very hard
The pain seems to go deeper
We stir ourselves into the black
Down and down there seems no way to get back
Chorus: Then love comes from somewhere
Love ends all confusion
Love must be the answer
Let love create a world of care
Divided as old a young
Divided as boy and girl
Divided as head and heart
Divided makes confusion
Then love comes…..
Inside we are all the same
Human we try to make the grade
But pain wants us to listen too
And fear wants us to turn back
Then love comes…
Love is inspiration
Love lets joy arise
Love creates well being
We learn and learn and learn from love inside

Daffodil

DAFFODIL by Steven Ash 1984
Daffodil you sing to me of freshness,
trumpeting bright yellow news
Knocking out the winter blues,
filling me with radiant hues
Oozing out the summer ooze.
Bluebell children of the wild wood
Find the sun find the sun so free
Pleasure, pleasure in your beauty
Comes swinging swaying far and near
Red rose, rose of the maiden
your bloom smells so sweet to me
hold me, hold me to your bosom
Enfold me, enfold me in your warmth
Primrose loves the sun some warmer
She is so shy, shying of the cold
Tiny yellow bursting creature
Is singing songs to the sun
Tall foxglove, pealing to the high
Sweet soft burgundy sky
Is healing, healing all the broken hearts
Is making all hearts as one
