New Light
Lucidia Omamori
Shrinari
Darkness is a jewelled night
The stars are there to guide us
The blackness stores potential for a vast array of wonders
Darkness is a new light
Once fear has passed
The moon has risen
Illuminating hills
That stretch across the scope of vision
You bring rest to my eyes
A haven for my aching mind
You take me beyond thought
Release me from old binds
You liberate my seeing
To dissolve it is so freeing
To become all I'm capable of being
I can not fear you
Oh darkness be my friend
I embrace you time and time again
Let me shimmer as a jewel
In the vast expanse of all
Help me to let go and to know
That all is within me
Contemplating light and shadow
In this sacred mystery
You bring rest to my eyes
A haven for my aching mind
You take me beyond thought
Release me from old binds
You liberate my seeing
To dissolve it is so freeing
To become all I'm capable of being
I can not fear you
Oh darkness be my friend
I embrace you time and time again
Let me shimmer as a jewel
In the vast expanse of all
Help me to let go and to know
That all is within me
Contemplating light and shadow
In this sacred mystery
Darkness is a jewelled night
The stars are there to guide us
The blackness stores potential for a vast array of wonders
Darkness is a new light
Once fear has passed
The moon has risen
Illuminating hills
That stretch across the scope of vision

ANCESTRAL FIRE
I know I can not ask you to chase away my demons
I know there’s a lot I have to face here on my own
All this uncertainty is filling me with visions
I find it hard to reap the seeds I’ve sown
(CHORUS)
Ancestral fire
Let me feed you with my fears
They’ve been controlling me for years
I think it’s time
I think it’s time I give it up
And surrender for all I’m worth
There’s no use in holding on
It just makes it worse
And I yearn to be free
And I yearn to go beyond
I’m standing on the precipice
Trembling holding on
Terrified of what’s contained
In the black hole of the abyss
Could there be colour?
Could there be stars?
Is there any more to this?
What if pain goes on and on
And in it I am drowning
What if there is no light atall
And I’ll be forever falling
-
Yet the yin and yang exists
It is a universal law
Even in the deepest black
There’s a point of light for sure
Just hold on to that point of light
Weave it through empty space
With your footsteps in the darkness
Trust you have just what it takes
(CHORUS)
Before you know it the light expands
Another world unravels
You find yourself forgetting that
You were ever troubled
Another sky to find brand new
Another tale from yonder worlds
So rest my child in fields of flowers
And let your dreams unfurl

DESERT PATH
Inject me with pure energy
I can not take this apathy
It doesn’t even feel like me
In wasted lands of lethargy
I’m Stranded with my effigy
I put it all in jeopardy
For you to write my eulogy
But first I’ll end this trilogy
Give to me a pleathory
Some essences a remedy
Could take the form of melody
I’ll keep it in my treasury
Why can’t we dwell in harmony
It feels so nice and calm when we
Bathe in mutual empathy
Commune in deep telepathy
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
Cactus fruit is juicy
Peyote makes me laugh
And it draws me to the ground
And pulls me into earth
To become one with the gritty
Then back to rest upon the hearth
And it draws me to the ground
And pulls me into earth
Bring me back to unity
Help me find my Synergy
I give to you this Imagery
This labyrinth of pure symmetry
Oh won’t you please help me to see
How holy is the Trinity
I always sought humility
And craved to know infinity
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
To hear them sing in tribal languages
Be soothed by foreign tones
Triple strings on the guitar
To be jolted by the moans
Of people seeing God
And being flawed by starker truth
To return with their eyes shining
Glittered by the jewel of youth
Because all souls are young
And old
Eternal in this game
We are shouting from the stars
Yet we forget each other’s names
We are jumping through the galaxy On pogo sticks of glass
To land on different planets
Only to sail away on mars
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path
Cos you are shining starlight
on my desert path

REMINISCE
If you could see how wide is my smile
To receive your verse mid-flight
If you could witness my star shining brighter
And guiding me into the night
If you could feel the glow all around me
The warm shades of fire lit pleasure
If you could join me under this blanket of sky
You would be my treasure
If you could rejoice in the stories I tell
Giving life to each word from my lips
If you could pull me onto your favourite branch
And draw me into your kiss
If we could swing our legs in the cool night breeze
Honeysuckle the scent of our bliss
We could reminisce on the days of our journey
All that led us to this
And regret would be gone like a whisper
Dissolved into empty space
And the peace of our love as pure as a dove
Would shine in the light of my face
Then there would be no question
Accetance the jewel of our quest
For with you my love I will weather each storm
For my head belongs on your chest
At night there will be no exception
In heavenly beauty we rest
Like on the ocean I’m soothed by the rhythm of you
As I ride up and down on your breath

STANDING ROCK
Ooooohhhh
I want to rock you all to sleep my babies
but there is no where safe to rest.
Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all...
I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say..
I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say..
Ooooohhhh
I want to rock you in the breeze
Ooooohhhh
as you swing on the tree,
But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris
But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris
I don’t want to tell my grandchildren
They came I was too afraid
They took all they wanted
And that's how this mess was made
I'll tell them of the victory that came after our demonstration where mothers and fathers risked losing it all for the future generations
Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all
To sleep my babies
Ooooohhhh
I'll tell them of the powerful people who were sane enough to listen
And the day we changed earth's history
With conviction of our mission
So drop your gear your riot shield
Take a moment to consider
Protect the earth my friend
It’s our effort to deliver
I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver
I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river
I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver
I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river

Listen Up

Listen up
The ancient ones knew
They prophesied these days
Prayed for us to be humble
Adopt earth honouring ways
The ancient ones feel
What goes on beneath the soil
The murmurs of the earth
Her intact beauty spoiled
This heavenly garden
The theft of her oil
Her pain reflected by our human toil
The wise ones they sit
Eyes open wide they see
How as a species we're heading for catastrophe
-
(CHORUS)
It's gaining momentum fires burn lives away
Earth shakes water rises
Pray for the right to stay
These are the days
This is the hour
Ocean's rise
Feel her power
Mother stirs
Her back is turned
Feel her wretched fires burn
Will we learn? When will we learn?
Can we earn the right to be? Will we see now? Will we see? I am you and you are me
-
They hold all the knowledge
Yet can't quicken our pace
We will realise when we realise
We've no choice but to embrace
We've no choice but to gather
Feel equality in all
And only as a circle can we rise and cease to fall
The ancient ones know
That until we learn to care
To find importance in existence
And the purity of air
We are heading for collision
On a track so grim and dark
We've been warned of the scenario
Like in Noah and his ark
(CHORUS)
There can be no broken rainbow
We depend on all the colours
There are wise ones among us
Who know how to live in honour
For all that holds a haven
For all that bears a seed
For the soil where life is planted
For life to bloom we must take heed
So let's go back to basics
Let's go beyond our greed
Tend to the roots so sacred
Listen to their needs
With all the elements in balance
Natures laws firmly agreed
It is time the earth is speaking
Fires burn at record speeds
Not even fame and glory can differentiate your worth
It's time to listen up
Take heed the calling of our Earth
(CHORUS)

SOUL CALLING
(CHORUS)
This is your soul calling
This is wisdom raining down
This is the earth healing
As love is all around
This is the earth talking
The beauty’s ever strong
This heavenly planet
Is where we belong
-
Do you hear the trees falling
While her wisdom’s raining down
We know to protect her
Yet her trees fall to the ground
We depend on these trees
For the air we breathe
We depend on these trees
For the air we breathe
(CHORUS)
Do you hear the sky calling?
Pleading to mankind
To remember the old ways
Don’t surrender to being blind
When you feel the earth shaking
Trembling in her skin
Do you promise to work harder
To transform this state we’re in
Do you promise to acknowledge
Her needs and work with care
To restore her precious harmony
Be the answer to her prayer
Listen to her messages
Respond with love and ease
On this heavenly planet
Our life comes from the trees
Clean water from the seas
Sweet wisdom on the breeze
People please take heed
We can’t live without these
People please take heed
We can’t live without trees
We can’t live without trees
(CHORUS)

THE GIFT
(Chorus)
Beyond your story
Beyond all your pain
There’s a gift that is waiting
Let it not be in vain
Beyond all you’ve been through
You can carve a new way
And this story I’m writing
Could be ours someday
-
If we all could start caring
If all could stand strong
Make a choice for our planet
To do her no wrong
In the way that we choose
Keeping our footsteps light
To know our own worth
To care what is right
To honour all others
To preserve natural beauty
The future could offer
Such glorious bounty
(Chorus)
In my mind there’s an ideal
That is worth reaching for
I pray we all have the vision
To nurture what’s pure
To know the essence untainted
Deserves’s our protection
And it’s worth every effort
To show we’ve learned this lesson
It is time to embrace
The new day being born
To let go of the programme
These old stories we have worn
(Chorus)
Let’s make care our value
Hold true on each account
Think planet before profit
Before any amount
Think future for our children
And their children too
Humble to learn from indigenous people
They’re the ones who could guide us through
Thank life for all beings
Let harmlessness ring true
With honour to creation
For the light that shines in you
