It Is
03:29
|

|
Drop away, what drops away
into memory into time
and what is in time un-focuses
and what is in memory is
put into words
most solid
and all wrong
because
it is beyond words
even it
so secret so wonderful
that it is just about to be a word
but after during before it happens
all words are
and cease.

The Tell
02:57
|

|
He called her.
They said they’d meet for lunch.
He knew he needed to tell her, but he didn’t know how.
How to couch it, you know?
The right buildup, or where the right place should be.
He didn’t know.
Then, five minutes before he would see her, he knew what to say.
He walked right up to her and told her.

Be with Me
02:28
|
|||
|
Ah.
See me,
See me,
Be with me.
Our love would be so sweet,
So come and be with me.
Come to me,
Come to me,
Be with me.
How sweet our love would be,
So come and be with me.
Ah.

Baby Be
03:27

|
Who might this baby be?
A new life. A better me.
A new day for me to live, maybe?
Who might I be for this baby?
What might this baby bring?
A new light. A joy to sing.
A new way for me to sing, maybe?
What might I bring for you, baby?
How might this baby love?
Greater than I could know.
All my life, all my light,
And a reason for me to love, maybe?
How might I love for my baby?

Dew Drop Down
03:10
|
|||
|
Come, love
Come for me:
Let out of the air tears of dew
Drop down
Between breaths of the dawn
And the mossy earth.
Come, come let the rain
Slip in streams through the fingers of clouds.
And then as we play,
When you and I move
Trembling ground will give way
And nothing will stay
Except us, love, only us, love:
Nothing will be, only us, my love.
And God will scream through our embrace
So the earth might know it.

This Rare Thing
03:06
|
|||
|
This rare thing, whatever it is.
This thing that happened only once,
and I thought would keep on happening,
somewhere, sometime, but it never did.
This thing that I knew was magical,
but I couldn’t know how magical,
till long, long after it was gone.
And by then I knew I would never find it again.
This rare thing, whatever it is.
When I look for
this rare thing
I can’t find it.
When I try not to look for
this rare thing
it slips further away.
Until I forget all about
this rare thing
and then this rare thing is everywhere.
This rare thing, whatever it is.
What if it happened only once?
What is it?
What if it happens everywhere, every time?
What’s it worth?
Is this rare thing what might be, or what is?

My Body Over
04:16
|
|||
|
Now I give my body over:
Let go of my touch,
Let go of my taste, my smell
Release all I see, release all I hear.
I open my grasp on this flesh
And what is left over
Soars up.
And the life in me
Is not what my body might hold,
But is all.
How could I who will die
Share the heights of divinity?
How could I still alive
Share the depths of those who never die?
Love, love never to know love in return.
Now I give my body over:
And the life in me
Is not what my body might hold,
But is all.
Love, love never to know love in return.

What, Why, How
05:39
|
|||
|
You ask me what do I believe?
Same as anyone.
No one else will say it, but I will:
I believe in beauty.
You ask me why? Why are we here? Why is there anything at all?
I know why:
Because the world is beautiful.
And I am here to know the world’s beauty
Right now, in my own way.
Outside, the world is beautiful.
When I know it, I’m beautiful inside.
In my heart, the world is beautiful.
When I know it, it’s beautiful outside.
You ask me how? How do I know it?
I will tell you.
It’s the hardest thing anyone can do:
Always go toward beauty
And become more beautiful.
Nothing will be as beautiful
As I want it to be.
There’s always something deeper.
But there’s no other way to go.
And I know I’ll be destroyed going there—
By others, yes,
By myself even more—
But maybe someday I’ll get close enough
To show someone else their own beauty.
Or better:
Let them figure it out themselves.
That’s what I believe.
That’s why I believe.
That’s how I believe.
I believe in beauty.

Heaven

the sky is heaven
the earth is heaven
all love is heaven
and we are heaven
the sun is heaven
the rain is heaven
all life is heaven
and we are heaven

Uma Ann Arbor, Michigan
Uma is an example of the triumph of Good over Evil, and her beautiful songs represent the victorious energy of getting up
after falling over and over again in life.
The energies of Spirit, Love, Truth, Goodness, and Pure Light, radiate through Uma’s transcendent lyrics and enthralling voice.
I hope you will receive the deepest peace, joy, and bliss through my music.
