Sono Luminus

I never thought that I would reach you
Though I've been searching for oh so many years
This place I am seems unfamiliar
But there's a light to break through all my fears

Still, time and time again
I'm looking for the love
The one that can inspire

Lift me higher
High as heaven can be
Sono luminus
Love is here
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
I'm looking out into the distance
The sound of thunder is rolling in my head
The sky is stretching out before me
Thanks for today, everything is blessed

So here we go again
Searching for the truth
Until the twelfth of never

Lift me higher [Higher]
High as heaven can be
Sono luminus
[Love can move a mountain][Yes there's nothing that it can't do]
Love is here
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
[Love will fill the darkness when you're gone]

Lift me higher [Higher] [Love can move a mountain]
High as heaven can be [Yes there's nothing that it can't do]
Sono luminus
[Love can move a mountain][Yes there's nothing that it can't do]
Love is here [Love will fill the darkness when you're gone]
Where it always will be
Deep inside of us
[Love will fill the darkness when you're gone]
Lift me higher [Higher] [Love can move a mountain]
High as heaven can be [Yes there's nothing that it can't do]
Sono luminus [Love will fill the darkness when you're gone]

Singularity

The air, it worries

feels the slowing down
the arrow of time
that pauses mid-flight
and slips into the void

A time diminished
by forces unseen
delicate, communal
yet somehow alone
and without sight

But, Grace, they say
is locked eternal
is falling, weightless
trembling before Him
yet knowing no-thing

and merging, endless
to a single point of light

-D.B. Rocca, 2011

Sanctuary

Summer's faded glory
Lives on in winters grace
Like a sun warmed garden railing
Or the look upon your face
I wanted you so simple
I wanted you so wild
But in my clumsy longing
I turned into a child
Who lacks for understanding
And runs out in the snow
And expects the sun to find him
Wherever he will go, for today

The misty city skyline
Drifting in and out of range
And all those people bustling
Prisoners of their age
I search for something timeless
As when the world was new
Where a man is but a pillar
In the temple that is you
On a camel-laden journey
I will take the reins
And take you to my shelter
Where past has been reclaimed for today

Heavy like the iron
These simple homes were framed
I lord over the silence
These city streets contain
Waiting fir the lion
To roar out of the calm
And send my spirit quaking
Right back to your arms
Our private sanctuary
That lies in blood and bone
there comes the deepest slumber
Our souls have ever known for today

-D.B. Rocca, 2011

Enchanted, enchanted
This magical place that we've found
No one here but us and the sound
Of the stars and the night owls
Your breath and the rolling clouds
Enchanted, I am, by you
Now love has come to me
And set apart thee
From all of the maddening crowds
The orchard is leaning her bows
To hear our laughter
And we roll in the arder
Enchanted, i am, by you

-Patrick Wolf

 

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;              
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

-William Wordsworth

I was born in a cloud...
Now I am falling.
I want you to catch me.
Look up and you'll see me.
You know you can hear me.
The world is so loud.
 Keep falling. I'll find you.
We're over a forest.
There's millions of snowflakes.
We're dancing.The world is so loud.
Keep falling and I'll find you.
I am ice and dust. I am sky.
I can see horses wading through snowdrifts.
My broken hearts, my fabulous dances.
My fleeting song, fleeting.
The world is so loud.
Keep falling. I'll find you.

-Kate Bush

 

Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is: how can I trust you?
The Oracle: Bingo. It is a pickle, no doubt about it. Bad news is there's no way you can really know if I'm here to help you or not, so it's really up to you. Just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it. Candy?

Neo: ... You already know if I'm going to take it.
The Oracle: Wouldn't be much of an oracle if I didn't.
Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice. You've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. [Neo eventually takes the candy] I thought you'd have figured that out by now.

 

Neo: Why are you here?

The Oracle: Same reason. I love candy
