The Greening

THE GREENING
Spring has sprung as Winter falls asleep
and I'm in love with every little beating thing
there's a skip in my step, there's a whistle through the leaves
the clouds are pullin taffy, the birds are laughing
there's a dandelion growing through the crack of my smile
and my skin aint seen the Sun in quite a long while
as the sky lingers long, the horizon fills in
with everything that yearns to be born again...
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening

I wanna feel the Deep Hum of Knowing
sow my roots into The Source and surrender to my growing
to know both the Seed and the Ancient Tree sowing itself into sky
Rumi says, "With the one rose you've purchased this Rose Garden- one seed, a wilderness"
I say, what a gift, what a simply wondrous gift...
the surprise of basil on my lover's lips
and the peppery wine that we sipped
and how everything that flowers opens itself like a cup- like a bell
like a hand longing to be held
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening

How can it be that ball of fire, light years from me, finds It's way to lay a kiss on my cheek?
There are billions of us spinning like one-of-a-kind stars
aching to discover just what we are
like the moment the winged one first takes flight
like the first spark of dawn that lifts the curtain of night
so Disband the guards! Let down the gates! Unveil my heart cause it's Life that I chase...
I'm alive. It feels so free.
I'm on the inside of The Greening
Shattered the brittle frost and shivered into Opening...
I'm waking to be...in the Greening

Shake the Devil, an Anthem for the Occupy Movement

An anthem for the Occupy Movement by Troubadours of Divine Bliss, believers in the reLOVEution...it is the solution!

"Shake the Devil" lyrics

Who's that Man with the briefcase in his hand
Fine tailored suit, bloodstain on his White collar
He'd cut Somebody's job to make a few more dollars
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man

Who's that Woman- you've seen her on TV-
Made quite a fortune from her company
While all the work was done by People making pennies
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman

It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the Love of Money's the root of all evil

We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand

Who's that man with perfect hair waving his hand
Selling smiles to the highest bidding Corporation
He thinks the Golden Rule means to Rule in Gold
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, oh that Man

Who's that man with the Bible in his hand
Charging an entrance fee to the Promised Land
Says,"Blessed are the Meek!" then drives off in a limousine
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man

It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil

We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand

Who's that Woman working PR for the plant
Children's health takes a backseat to her job security
It's more cost effective to poison the air they breathe
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman
That Woman, that Woman, that Woman

Who's that Man drilling for Oil in the Sand?
Does he have a purpose? Does he have a plan?
Ransom their their treasure for the highest price they can demand
That Man, that Man, oh that Man
That Man, that Man, Lord that Man

It's time for The Haves to meet The Have Nots
Give a little of what they've got
Let's kick the money changers out of the Temple
It's true the love of money's the root of all evil

We sold our souls for little bit of dough
to thieves who stole from the starving
What can we do? Do what we can!
When you're faced with a choice you're either
Taking a Stand or Shaking the Devil's Hand

Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil...Shake the Devil

Lyrics to "It is Well" by Troubadours of Divine Bliss

Take this hurt, empty this cup

I've been drinking from it long enough

Let it spill all the poison that it holds

I am thirsty but not for this

I can taste on my lips

the sweet nectar of letting this all go

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

Take this anger and it's clenches

There's no safety in these trenches

Let this battle finally be won

I want to fight for peace not war

Wield my sword of truth but only for

Opening and letting this all go

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

Take this fear from my head

I want to wear a crown instead

Filled with jewels of compassion,

courage, grace and love

Move these mountains, lift these veils

I haven't lost, I haven't failed

I've been forged, fired, revealed

I am healed

Lift me up, Make me well

So in my heart Love may dwell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Lift me up, Make me whole

Make me peaceful in my Soul

It is well, it is well, it is well

66 Unfinished Love Songs

Your eyes are disks of sky that tell the History of Romance

Your smile is a mile of pearls strung along the moon

Your words move like ships dropping anchor on my Soul

Come roll your "stay beside me" llike a pillow to lay on



Never has this heart felt such a thrill of tenderness

Never have these arms held someone more near than you

We'll never let a day pass without a dance to the Divine

Join me in simple luxury under a chocolate sky



Je'taime Companera

my promised One

My heart is like brick come to life

now I am drinking the Sun



You whispered into every part of my thirsty Soul

Come open all my doors...feel free to roam

You discovered all of the forgotten islands in me

deliriously gorgeous silver-footed Queen



Micro, Tele me

of Hope's fantasy

and I'll be your Believe Charmer

Nightspell took a chance

Moondance fell into a trance

now this fairytale is real



Je'taime Companera

my promised One

My heart is like brick come to life

now I am drinking the Sun
