Song of the Sea #Music

Download “Song of the Sea” Mp3

I wrote this song in 2015. You can listen to the ukulele version with lyrics
here.

Today’s lovely instrumental is played on Ocean Drum, double strung harp, cowrie shell shaker, and Oriole (soprano) recorder. These instruments work especially well in this piece. I hope you enjoy it!

“Blow the Man Down” #Music

You probably know this tune, but did you know it’s an English sea shanty from the 1800s and possibly earlier? I heard it as a child and wanted to include it in my sea-themed pieces.

Here, the Ocean Drum plays its wave sound, as well as rhythm beats. Melody and harmony are both played on alto recorder, with ukulele accompaniment.

I hope this brings a smile to your face! ☺️

In the Fairy Meadow #Meditation #Poem

Download “In the Fairy Meadow” Mp3

Here in the meadow find a tree;
Absorb its calming energy.
‘Tis where the fairies dance and play,
And this could be your lucky day!

Against the tree you rest your back,
Releasing everything you lack.
In balance now from crown to root,
You just might hear a fairy flute!

Emotions buried out of sight,
You let them fly into the Light.
The sun and flowers clear your mind
And show you what you came to find.

You sit and wait in harmony;
You listen, listen carefully.
You softly, softly hear the sound
Of fairies dancing all around!

They bring a message just for you,
And in your heart, you know it’s true.
You take with you the fairy song
To give you hope and keep you strong.

You thank the firm and faithful tree
For offering its harmony.
From trees and fairies you have learned;
It’s time now for your safe return.

Each dawning brings another day
To hear the fairies dance and play!
The gentle magic they impart,
You carry with you – in your heart!

Mingling Moonlit Thoughts #Poem #Meditation

Download “Mingling Moonlit Thoughts” Mp3

Your day is done. It’s time to rest
And heal from any pain or stress.
While all the positive you keep,
Let go of negativity.

Those thoughts that prey upon your mind…
It’s time to leave them all behind.
Release each one like a balloon—
Away! To mingle with the Moon!

Her Light is bright and peaceful too,
Transforming thoughts… Transforming you!
So welcome Her within to shine
And free you from the thoughts that bind.

Tomorrow is another day;
Tonight you dream and sail away…
Go anywhere you wish and more;
You are the key… You are the door!

When you awake from deepest rest,
You feel renewed to do your best.
Embrace your sleep that plays a part,
And keep your dreaming near your heart!

Your dreams fly higher than balloons
To mingle with the Earth and Moon.
They heal you, even as you sleep,
And help your purpose fast to keep.

From healing night to helping day,
Allow your thoughts to sail away…

Journey #Etheree #Poem

Up
And down
Side to side
Forward, backward
Through chaos and calm
Have I been here before?
Inside out and upside down
Going somewhere, getting nowhere
At least, that’s how isolation feels…
So, I journey within to help me out!
