Student is the teacher*

Student is the teacher*

Let me know of these teachings within

Let me know on where I should begin

Show me this path that leaves no trace

To transcend which is here in this space

Where there is nothing that is really taught

And to have no search in what is to be sought

To understand like the flower on how it grows

And the seed on its journey in what it knows

Oh yes I know you have seen this before

Where you come from, where wisdom is more

To understand this with no trial or test

Where speech is not spoken and all is wordless

The rain shall make me walk once again*

The rain shall make me walk once again*

It is one more day that has come by

I search for a cloud in the sky

But today is parched and now not a drink

I feel that now my roots cannot sink

But if to get just a taste from a cloud that goes by

Just one little sip, a tear so moist not dry

I know that I can move on from here without despair

To tend to my Soul* with loving care

As I make from a prayer a desperate plea

To know that something is watching over me

And it does come upon me in a deluge of a soak

My roots will no longer be still to die

But now I shall be able to move on with them and walk

Being well "seasoned" in letting go*

Being well "seasoned" in letting go*

What is that I hold onto that is not seen?

Is it something I am not awakened with, stuck in a dream?

There is nothing that is there but it seems a shadow to be

It pulls me in more and more, a prisoner not free

I look around and seems everything has let go

Why is it outside of myself this wisdom that it knows?

I know that it was myself then that put this here

But how do I break this duality that seems so clear?

I guess then I did put it here then I can take it away

Knowing, nothing was ever here in the first place to make it stay

But how do I prove this to myself with so much doubt

To let it go free from inside of me to out

The answer that I look for is in nature that I seek

The stillness from a mountain to the flow of the creek

Yes it is also seen in seasons that it shows

Flowers and green leaves all disappear right before it snows

Dom*Colucci 2015

A seed is freed, the flower*

A seed is freed, the flower*

Without any purpose or cause to be

Deep within knows when it is time to be free

Held underneath away from its world

The moment it knows how to unfurl

Yet patience comes just a bit longer

It sees through this on how to be stronger

Yes the time has come to remove the darkness from its night

And to move with silence through stillness, to now see the light

Dom*Colucci 2015

Where have you been?*

Where have you been?*

Push me beyond your world as I am in the dark

Then this is how it goes, this sorrow I will park

My heart maybe burdened by what you have done

I will trust that is within myself and find that one

I will shed many tears but know that times go by

That it is necessary for me to open up and cry

But there is something special that when I do

It already knows where I am going and have to go through

For I rely on it with trust as it has that power

With these eyes that water, my heart becomes a flower

My shell is breaking apart and wisdom emerges with a root

This is now my journey to take on my own, it is my truth

Yes my vision that is within the heart that grows

It says press onward in knowing what it knows

Memory has gone of you and now no longer exist

It was myself that I was searching for but seemed to resist

So now all is erased from a past that is no longer there

I arrive through broken soil and feel love in the air

The sun looks down upon myself and it has a big grin

Shining so brilliantly and asks "where have you been?"

The flowers need a drink*

The flowers need a drink*

What seems to be your trouble or on your mind?

Is it something deep inside you not working out so fine?

You have that look that I can see that is in your eyes

Like soon something is going to happen to make you cry

Yes my love, I feel this as they are starting to well

There must be a burden within your heart as I can tell

Please do not hold back and make it to release

The tension will subside and you will be at ease

Your heart will come to calm and peace will be with you

There are many things in life that we must go through

So with this said and to cry to release the pain

Remember that flowers need a drink so it has to rain

Dom*Colucci 2014

Blissful sweet freedom*

Blissful sweet freedom*

Imagine how life is so simple and carefree

This is how a butterfly sees it, even a honeybee

Open to go all over, moving happily in the air

No plans in sight but enjoying everywhere

State of contentment, a heart full of bliss

Knowing where sweet nectar is, a flower to kiss

Every moment that comes as it passes by

Freedom with wings and to take refuge in the sky

Dom*Colucci 2014

Laughing while a cloud cries*

Laughing while a cloud cries*

I laugh amongst the rain drops

The pitter patter on metal rooftops

Into the soil deeply it sinks

Daffodils that are looking for a drink

And the birds, you can hear them sing

Rivers overflow to the ocean it brings

Wet and lush this satisfies

Amazing how this all is when a cloud cries

But in all this that I do see

I laugh as it rains all over me

Stop and smell the roses*

Stop and smell the roses*

May I take this moment a bit to ponder

To release the burdens of my heart and wander

And see beyond what just came about

To not have no worries or have any doubt

Now knowing that within is satisfied

To feel this wonder instead, to be relaxed and alive

Yes it is gratitude that I envelope myself in

And to rejuvenate like this garden once again

Dom*Colucci 2014

Settling inward as outward moves on*

Settling inward as outward moves on*

A gentle wind has come and the clouds move past

The smell of fragrant flowers and wafting of green grass

Sunlight that is here as it guides the day

To make a beautiful picture mobile on its way

To see so happily birds in the trees

Take to those winds to soar in its breeze

All around is nature's call seems that it meddles

But the day has moved on and the sun now it settles

Dom*Colucci 2014

Everywhere is crying, silly to me as it still rains*

Everywhere is crying, silly to me as it still rains*

Gray is the color, darker ever more

I see a drop or two, right outside my door

Coolness of a breeze, the window is open as I see

Comfort from stagnation, relieve from humidity

But something is holding back, emotions that are deep

A weight in burden within, no longer this cannot keep

A rumble from its anger, a spark sizzled vein

Ecstasy has to be soon with this, relief from its pain

Now it is really upset, the deluge has begun

This storm rages onward, bullying itself to everyone

Weather today so dismal, violence is its wrath

The worse is not over walking more on its path

One thing seems to be happy, as the flowers get a drink

Parched soil that soaks it all in, watch this as it sinks

So why is all unhappy, this is life when it came

Everywhere is crying, silly to me as it still rains

Dom*Colucci 2014

When it is so hard to resist?*

When it is so hard to resist?*

Beauty to the eye, it seems to appeal

Looking a little deeper, my heart it doth steal

Taken in by the scent of lilac, rose and many flowers

Strong aphrodisiac, a dominating power

Let me not falter into this spell

Mesmerizing that it is, my heart doth swell

Please release from this passion of such desire

Falling fast into your Soul*, uncontrollable fire

Oh my dear to bring me to my knees

Dominating beauty, how can I be free?

We cannot part from the attraction of this

How does one run away from beauty, 

When it is so hard to resist?

Dom*Colucci 2014

All around freedom*

All around freedom*

Bright is the day this morning in spring

Love in my heart with joy this does bring

Fresh in the meadow of daisies and flowers

Who could ever leave this, I stay for many hours

But one must move on and let the moments go by

And follow the clouds moving freely in the sky

A rosy dream of my Soul* so deep*

A rosy dream of my Soul* so deep*

I closed my eyes so silently one night

The day was done and so was the light

I gathered what was within, deep as it seems

Went into a trance, mesmerized by a dream

I fell into a garden of fresh flowers I suppose

The beauty I was seeing for it was a rose

Tempting as it was to get a few in its take

But instead I went deeper not to be awake

Though I seen the wonder of this to be true

As then I seen my Soul* and heard it say

I Love You*

Happy butterfly*

Happy butterfly*

Butterfly, oh butterfly floating in the air

Butterfly, oh butterfly such freedom without care

Finding some nectar in a garden filled with flowers

To be content in such sweetness for many, many hours

Happiness is always with you and is seen in your eyes

Taking into forever with your wings to vast blue skies

It cries for the sun to return*

It cries for the sun to return*

Rain drop, rain drop one by one

Why do you cry, where is the sun?

Is it from your heart that you feel hurt?

Or because the flowers call out for thirst, parched in the dirt?

Let your emotions flow and be on their way

Do not worry after this, there will be a sunny day

Dom*Colucci 2013

Love but once then it is free*

Love but once then it is free*

Oh butterfly, oh butterfly the one that I see

You come into my life so happy and free

Wings that take you off to that special place

The glow of happiness that shines on your face

To find nectar that sure is so sweet

A flower filled with love, gentleness to meet

But I know you must take off and fly away

For it is your heart with love that knows the way

You came into my life to show the beauty within

As you place your subtle nuances all over again

Maybe one day you will come back to see me

For then I know love returns when you set it free

Dom*Colucci 2013

Love shows us the light*

Love shows us the light*

A walk in the meadows, we see flowers as they stand

You by my side taking me by your hand

Forever stares back at us right in our faces

Walking with such freedom in open spaces

Continuing onward, we know love is so right

And to blend both of our Soul*s, as we walk into the light

Dom*Colucci 2013

Love grows from the ground up*

Love grows from the ground up*

Such joy filled with love in this afternoon

My heart in vibrations and its beat in tune

I feel this attraction pulling me towards you

Letting go and surrendering, now I see you in view

I come to you swiftly the more my heart pounds

I take you in my arms and lay you gently on the ground 

For my love as like a garden that doth grows

But you as my flower though, you are my rose

Dom*Colucci 2013

Let us drench ourselves in love*

Let us drench ourselves in love*

A day has come where it has showers

The garden is happy, a drink for the flowers

Let us both go out and enjoy the rain

Break away from doldrums and life so plain

Let us both be intimate with passions on the ground

And be soothing with cooling and feel this all around
