    "Secretly, each form is a flute that only He can play, we become the celestial music as a response to the grace; in each, He blows impartially. No one is a doer here!" ~Aida

    When I turned twenty three, songlyrics started to profusely pour out of my heart. After a short while, they assumed the form of poems which allowed me more intimacy with the unspoken, with silence.

    Often songlyrics still whisper amidst the quietude so I'm sharing a couple of them here as they echo our innate disposition to nurture, heal and love as we wander the golden corridor of Surrender .

    These lyrics seemed encompassed by one unending Song, the only way for me to attempt to capture its infinite tones was to just mold the experience into hundreds and hundreds of songs...

    Your higher side.

    2. Each Pearl

    Baby, I'd cherish you
    Like each pearl
    Here in me
    O feel me! feel me!

    I've been checking you
    For many moons now
    It's almost like
    I don't exist besides
    Through this calm high,
    My giving magnifies
    Whenever you're around.

    Baby, I'd cherish you
    Like each pearl
    Here in me
    O feel me! feel me!

    I revolve around you,
    Blowing my wind
    As if a miracle,
    I know you dig
    My stereo swirl
    When it cuddles
    Your fears away.

    Baby, I'd cherish you
    Like each pearl
    Here in me
    O feel me! feel me!

    Let this subtle phase
    Elevate your state,
    I don't mind you
    Floating in my rays;
    know that I love you
    In my own way
    Know this, know this...

    Baby, I'd cherish you
    Like each pearl
    Here in me
    O feel me! feel me!



    3. Forever More

    You are the love
    I longed for,
    I accept you
    Forever more.

    When I first saw you,
    My mind sunk in a
    State of holiness.
    My heart pounded
    And plunged up
    In The Highest;
    I became silent.

    You are the love
    I longed for,
    I accept you
    Forever more.

    I whirled to your dance,
    You were a peace still
    Dormant in my hands,
    O I sought you!
    O I followed you!
    Each atom was blue,
    I'd cry to this truth.

    You are the love
    I longed for,
    I accept you
    Forever more.

    Shove me in your trance,
    It was a lone journey
    Until I saw you wear
    The essence so well,
    It fit you like a
    Delicate garment;
    You're heaven-sent.

    You are the love
    I longed for,
    I accept you
    Forever more.



    4. Closer

    Pull me down
    In your world
    I'm ready to be reborn
    Pull me down,
    Have all that is mine
    I'll make you strong;
    Rest within my light.

    I can only give
    I beam whenever
    You smile at me,
    I'm closer to you
    Than your heartbeat.

    I drip my fluid
    In your every drops
    We can't go wrong
    If we adjust to
    The Highest above
    Join all of me,
    There is but one soul.

    I can only give
    I beam whenever
    You smile at me,
    I'm closer to you
    Than your heartbeat.

    I must apologize
    For raining down
    Such colors on you
    It's beyond me now,
    My soul wraps you,
    Hugs you, covers you
    And your fears too.

    I can only give
    I beam whenever
    You smile at me,
    I'm closer to you
    Than your heartbeat.




    5. Sun's Tears

    Your centers are subtler
    Than the sun's tears,
    I'm drowning in bliss,
    A flood of sun's tears.

    I wanna hold you
    Tighter than the Moon
    Holds silver.
    No stress, no pressure
    When you enter my world
    Only soft, only tender
    Energies to uncover.

    Your centers are subtler
    Than the Sun's tears,
    I'm drowning in bliss,
    A flood of Sun's tears.

    I'd split from
    This world today
    Just to spoil you
    In a nurturing way,
    I'll be some sky
    In physical form
    You deepen my love.

    Your centers are subtler
    Than the Sun's tears,
    I'm drowning in bliss,
    A flood of Sun's tears

    If there be a Law
    That governs the soul
    Let us abide by it,
    We must grow
    We must elevate,
    The Afterlife sure
    Is the priority baby.

    Your centers are subtler
    Than the Sun's tears,
    I'm drowning in bliss,
    A flood of Sun's tear.s

    7. Dripping Light

    There you go,
    Vibing off of my flow.
    Take what you need
    Of me, make me poor
    I have no ego anymore
    I'm free to watch you
    Shine and just grow.

    Don't hold back baby
    When I do my thang
    To your energy,
    You can exhaust me.

    Glow in my glow,

    Enjoy all that flows
    Slower than slow
    Time is no factor;

    For this higher love.

    Let me rest my eyes
    On your woolly hair,
    I'll be the soft light
    You long to see in flesh,
    Float like mind
    As I acknowledge
    Our source in The One.

    Pretend I ain't there
    Don't hold back baby
    When I do my thang
    To your energy,
    You can exhaust me.

    Lead me deep under there
    Let us slowly slowly blend,
    I'll birth the blissful you.

    I wanna spread
    In your places where
    There is loneliness;
    I'll pervade you
    Baby, like celest air
    I'll fill you up
    To cleanse all hurt.

    Lead me deep under there

    If it makes you feel safer
    Let the mama in me
    See your holy spark
    Despite all the trials.

    Lead me deep under there
    Let us slowly slowly blend,
    I'll birth the blissful you.



    10. Souls' Reunion

    I knew you would come
    To move me in your silence,
    I knew you would come
    To dispel this lonely dance.

    I feel creative
    When you're near
    We might be vibing
    On the same frequency
    You accompany
    My emotions
    To a higher dimension.

    I knew you would come
    To move me in your silence,
    I knew you would come
    To dispel this lonely dance.

    I wanna know you
    And all your phases
    If this is real,
    Our bond gotta be
    A mercy on me,
    So pure and kind
    I wanna pray all night.

    I knew you would come
    To move me in your silence,
    I knew you would come
    To dispel this lonely dance.

    Your profile is my mirror,
    Continue me, reflect
    This soul's femininity;
    Pour your colors
    All over me, union
    Is the only longing
    In this beating heart.

    I knew you would come
    To move me in your silence,
    I knew you would come
    To dispel this lonely dance.
