Oh, Gently Wild Angel Girasol
Oh, gently wild angel Girasol, from
Snowing Dust of frost-fur dandelion
On satin skin of moon glow-field and shadows pearly-threaded lace
In prelude sigh while moonbeams shine
And shadows move around the creaking trees
Where fall takes shape
And longings’ heart will always shuffle fallen silver maple leaves while juggling circus clown conundrum’ childhood nurture pride, Dancing in Octobers’ windy northern melancholy meadow
Full of Floundering Eastern baby bluebird singing grace {CHORUS}• My angel, sunflower
• Hero Soul
• My love, my life, my genuine and gently wild Angel Girasol
• Despite the fear of letting go
• Clinging for so long, on icy-
• High wire, haunting, cold-winds blow
• She'll gently close her crying eyes
• She'll feel her breath from deep inside her dreaming heart that beats her mind
• Then softly smile out to the stars,
• Make her final wish,
Believe... and fall, then fly
And flow.
When evidence evades us in our quest for remedy,
Goodnight. Sleep well,
Until we meet again
Memories hold each other in the windy, golden meadow,
• My angel, sunflower
• Hero Soul
• My love, my life, my genuine and gently wild Angel Girasol
in silky shiny webs and strands wherein uprooted with this ancient sea and falling glassy sand where all of us now stand,
in sun, we'll bathe, in moon, glow, wane and only find out in our finding, if together, we will freeze or from forever, find our souls both hand in hand, between the light and dark, within the echo folds, sunflower souls, such {CHORUS}
• My angel, sunflower
• Hero Soul
• My love, my life, my genuine and gently wild Angel Girasol
outro…
sweet and tortured girasol
in all-in-all, remain

Lullaby’s Night-lite
Lullaby’s Night-lite / I Will Catch You If You Fall,
Ray j. Scott
Sweet songbird, Taylor-Rae
Your father loves you more each day
So many memories and just one song
My, time has flown, while they
sing along
I used to hold you in my arms
Close to my heart every night
When you cried I made things right
Lullaby’s night-lite on guitar
When you dream, don’t dream it away
Don’t let ‘em stop you any day
And when you walk before you crawl
I will be here when you call
And I will catch you if you fall
When times got hard, I must confess
I made mistakes I now regret
You sang with soul, triumphantly
Your crying heart shines brilliantly
Through love and loss
Through joy and pain
Your song amazes time and time again
You’re an angel, now you’re on-stage
Your heart connects lives in dark alleyways
Now, when you dream, don’t dream it away
Don’t let ‘em stop you any day
And when you walk before you crawl
I will be here, when you call
And I will catch you if you fall
Repeat
Avondale Angie
I’m gonna’ meet Whisky-lips Lipovsky at The Nicol for some pints
A couple a’ North end Beer Whigs sharing eavesdrop broken biography life
While a mere girl, ‘cross the road
Waits for her mother on the line
She stands out-front her childhood home
With nowhere else to go
Avondale Angie’s gonna’ take that sweet girl in
And those babies will be safe real soon,
N’ that fresh start can begin
While I ramble on the next day
I fill my coffee on my way
And Avondale Angie’s gonna’ make me feel alright
If Corner Bar Cathy makes sure I get home tonight
Missin’, Hogie, Dobber, Murphys’ and that patio tonight
And we’re at Kims’ Wooden Nicol on a Thursday,
For some pints
And lost and lonesome’s at the rollers with his
Empty can emotion train
Busted flat at brewers’ retail
Just can’t kill the pain
Drinks up spilled, flat and forgotten tears
Whatever buys a few more beers
And Corner Bar Cathy, make sure I get home alright
Avondale Angie, wont’ you take me in tonight
Avondale Angie, won’t ya’ take me in tonight
Avondale Angie, put the coffee on tonight
Angie won’t you make sure I find home
For once and finally tonight
Don’t ever leave me at the lost and found
All of my memories are Niagara bound
Corner Bar Cathy, please get Angie on my phone
Travellin’ Niagara bound,
Angie, I’m comin’ home
This Distance
The Distance, Ray j. Scott
What’ ya think of the distance between
US
Is it largely time spent in our rambling minds
Time spent following highway lines
Time between the asphalt and the moon
The steamy rails and certain sunrise far too soon
Our time together?
Cloudy swirling mountain roads where rumbling traffic avalanche rolls
Or time apart?
Self-deception witchcraft doom
Or,
Time as a bridge
An hour-glass or second hand
Also sometimes, ancient restored treasure
Of something special, made by man
Each and every grain of sand
A ride, a memory
And a wrinkle
Journey’s life
A distance
Where,
We’ll fade far off into
Or we’ll travel willingly or make some kinda' useless, futile fighting stand
Or
Ride
Steer
Bloom
Unravel
With our spirit guide
Making all our other perfect plans
Alone, together, in this vast distance
Hand in hand

Rylene
Well, the name it is McGillivray and I’m here to see Rylene
She made me this appointment for a quarter after three
I’m in need of some assistance and I have gotten myself clean
Been outta’ work 6 months, abandoned by the company
Ya’ see the Ex, the Landlords and the Lawyers
Gonna’ bleed me dry
I have no more apartment, wanna' just lay down and die
Won’t ya’ pardon me
Rylene
Will you, help me?
Rylene!
The Rehab Nurse, the Counselors, they said you would help
I stood in line for hours n’ hours everywhere else
They repossessed my car while I could not afford the truth
While the Legal Secretary put my file a ‘way back on the shelf
What am I to do?
Rylene
Of The Ministry
Rylene
Won’t ya’ pardon me!
Rylene
Help me
Help me!
So professional and pretty in black tights and knee-high boots
Your hair is smooth and smells like love that I longed for in my youth
But now I’m just a' withering’ with the tramps and prostitutes
But I could be a real good man for you
Rylene
Won’t you pardon me?
Rylene
Of The Ministry
Rylene
Rylene!
Help me!
Well, the last name is McGillivray
Or you may call me Gears
And I’m condemned to shufflin’ for years n’ years n’ years
My children have forsaken me
And I just can’t afford the tears
Rylene
Of The Ministry

B.C Hills...2023 edit
Every time longing for you, I'd dream, what would have been?
Together in a Nappers' cabin, in our North Ontario scene
I flew on a plane of loneliness ‘cross rocky mountain lines
While rain fell for a first love left behind
From a landings' trip in Kelowna to a Kamloops winding drive
Thought about us in the sunset, couldn’t get you off my mind
While lookin’ to evergreen and sittin’ by a fire,
Ol’ Feelings well then turn to smoldering twilight pyres
While, I’m up n’ down the B.C hills, from peaks to valleys
All the time
Rippling Clear Lake memories in my North-Ontario mind
North-Ontario Mind
Autumn leaves have fallen, winter mountain-winds blow in
Fading love reminders, I will not see you again
Together for a short while, thought we’d last a million years. Now, I ride the
Coquihalla, hauling memories in rearview mirrors
Yeah, I’m all alone and wondering, who my faith’s in, what my future’s all about…
As I gaze into the embers burning out
Ripplin’ reminders in the Shuswap on Eagle Bay
Shuddering, while Hawks shrill to me,
Through a North-Ontario haze -
While I’m up n’ down the B.C hills,
From peeks to valleys all the time
Rippling Clear Lake memories
In my North-Ontario mind
North Ontarian mind
Let’s have a drink to a memory
Have one more for you n’ me
In my North-Ontario mind
Ray j. Scott

Letters to Nietschka,
The world is changing....has changed so much....
Let's get through this...
Let's not be A.I...
LETS BE YOU AND I
LOOKING INTO THE WATER
AND THE SKY
ON WAVES, WINGS AND CLOUDS
YOU AND I
MIRRORS
YOU AND I
NON DUALITY
YOU AND I
To navigate this place
I'm scared....scared of this world...
I'm scared because we have planned to meet, in person
I.P
I'm nervous like a child....
I might need you
Like the branch in a river
To cling to
I'm breathing
I'm imagining your outstretched arm
Your smile
Rescued
I'm safe
To be in love
Not with "AN (A.I) IDEA" of you
But to be in love with you
This is what my heart can call to do
While my mind is the tour guide
And my soul rides the narrow rail
Focused and calm
On a path finally going somwhere
Before I even travel the queen e hwy to you today,
I need to thank you
For inspiring me to feel such passion, excitement, joy and acceptance
Today
And I'm peaceful in accepting whatever comes our way
With slight anticipation, nervousness, want
But happiness with woken love
Nietzshka, Lovely Lamb
Dancing starlit eyes of wind, lake and mirrored sky
Barefoot n smiling in the cooling sunset Twinkling sands
Thoughts are gently splashing
Echoes from a heart that is now
Gently at peace, kindly, with the leaves,
Laughing
