1.
It is morning. Let us begin at the base of a tree. There's no knowing its age, nor ours. Which of us will die first? There are insects whose lives will end today all around. I may have just sat on one.
2.
By the Creek 01:34
I've come to terms With for what I've been wishin' I may be lazy But man, I love fishin'.
3.
Earthenkind 02:04
After noon. Hopefully laughter soon. Being at one with nature doesn't mean being at one with yourself. Nature is chaotic; of course it is. A Creator didn't give us the ability to think critically, but maybe we don't have the ability at all. We just think that we do.
4.
A slow build loses its footing - patterns emerging, bitterns submerging, while it turns - it may be said - to nothing.
5.
Far Away 01:18
You're far away. Circular movements in a circular song. Certain bereavements may serve as a somber insert that will leave once you come back to home. Head to your friends. You're far away.
6.
The townsfolk are making jest of my new mare but not to worry, there's drink and music aplenty to ease those and all other concerns! Feeling fit as a foal, ag ól leis an ceol.
7.
After the drinking is done, there is still more drinking to be done. Stay hydrated. Stray from mind belated. You're outside again. It will pass. At the bottom of the glass is grass.
8.
Don't forget your roots. The ones at your feet, and all around. The apparent fruits of your feats still resound. Bandying about such meaningless words as "divilment" and "prosperity" Brandy's about to be in these woods as a bottle "finished" and "empty". Sorry for the slightly piratey music, at least rum doesn't rhyme with "bandy".
9.
A very late dinner. More like breakfast at this stage. Just a bit of fun. Merriment. Oh, what whimsy. In any event...
10.
Given the fullness of food, do you feel any better? Do not betray your soul Filled with worry and wonder. It may remember when next you try To stave off the guilt with hunger.
11.
Name the moon, make it your friend. Never a happy man stood alone. The moon comes round but once a night. Make this a blood one. The sun blurs the sky - as the moon sets, the day's begun: All things come to an end. Not all things come to a good one.

about

A journey, but without the moving. There are no lyrics in the songs so I wrote some poems for you to read while you listen.
