THE SPIRIT MOVES

A spirit moves
like the giant walls in Moki Canyon
Down to the channels end
and back out again
a spirit moves
A spirit moves
like the awesome bodies of water in Lake Powell
Observant, sometimes quiet -
sometimes loud -
Laughter gently rippling
along the water ways
The Spirit moves in on us.

"It's Just To Provide Us A Change"

                              (lyrics to a song I wrote)
Rain we know
Though not the same
Is falling down
On our window panes
And I can tell
By the cool moist air -
It's just to provide us a change.

So you can feel
Anyway you'd care,
With stimulated
Thoughts so there,
Like memories
Or dreams you've seen,
It's just to provide you a change.

Chorus:  The rapid changing of the times
               Leaves lost a many minds and miles,
               But lost their not -
               For life is all gain -
               And what would the sunshine be
               Without the rain?

I don't know joy
With every rain
When those times happen
I'm the one to blame.
But I suppose
That it's quite alright,
It's just to provide me a change.

Things we know
But can't explain
Keep roving through
My mind today,
And as I watch
The raindrops stop -
I feel it's just to provide us a change.

Chorus: The rapid changing of the times

             Leaves lost a many minds and miles,
             But lost their not -
             For life has a way -
             Of making amends with each
                 new dawning day.
