I WONDER by James Michael Taylor
I wonder, I wonder out loud
Why I wander under a cloud
A cloud with it's rain
It's lightning and pain…

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME
What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night with just the coolest tiny idea? perhaps a musical dream? these small pieces are just that,, tiny little musical notes that just seem to break into my normal musical day,, one take suff
