Impermanence, failing falling thoughts, and climate change.


the feel of winter | a different kind of day

the-feel-of-winter-upon-us-a-different-kind-of-day-remix

An ethereal drone in the distant soundscape. Approaching through the cold frost and winter mix. A different kind of day.


your world beginning | we could live forever chasing this feeling

we could live forever chasing this feeling

as things evolve in fragments,
blown by the winter wind
in the gray and distant place
deep within this conversation
– with self
and anyone who will listen … being so far away

we could live forever, chasing this feeling

it’s gray now, but spring is on its way

Waiting for that moment to arrive.

New Landscapes: Winter – Departure Songs And Shattered Recordings

New Landscapes: Winter - Departure Songs And Shattered Recordings

Oh if it’s more than I should
It’s more than I ever could
If my heart needed you to stay
At the end of the day
Would you go

Oh my life’s story is so thin
Underneath this torn skin
Lost in the hardness
Of this bitter chill
– a Winter
With nothing more to fill

Oh it’s more than I ever should
– if only
I could

New Landscapes: Winter - Tape Loops And Departure Songs

I just want to lie down

Come crashing down

I just want to sit down
In the bitter Winter snow
And listen
To the silence
Come screaming in

On the cold haunting wind

New Landscapes: Winter – The Lost Beauty Of Incomplete Things

New Landscapes: Winter - The Lost Beauty Of Incomplete Things

A journey so far
Miles from your arms
Cascading down
Falling like stars
The rocky spiral of moments
– lost

On the cliffs of Winter
And the bone shattering sadness
Found in the dark below
And in the watery grave …
The lost beauty
Of incomplete things


New Landscapes: Winter – The Hardness Of The Chill

New Landscapes: Winter - The Hardness Of The Chill

somewhere in my life
in my thoughts
in my past moments with …
i see your words
describe the way i feel
at this very moment …
– lost and abandoned
the hardness of the chill within
weathered by your storm

the screaming inside your memories
like the passion of war against the night
a broken obstacle …
to the building of your dreams
and the cold fears to come
never alone without this loss
and the hardness of the chill within
