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

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

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.

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

With stand

Within each beat, my mind's endured, for every breath my heart's unfurled... A reason's made where thoughts are cured In waves of life, sight and touch on flowing branches, rivers' dreams and smiles that shine where we now stay; The path through soil and mud and sand, through forests, mountains, oceans, while I'm mindful of each blade and grain, and strands of strings in hand, Wherever only presents' being can; in villages of moments, in peaceful winds where willows bend and flowers bloom, with consciousness with stand.
