PolyPsyclic
lyrics by Trevor Coleman based on a poem by W.B.Yeats
Who will drive you now?
And pierce the deepest dark and woven shade
And dance upon the shore
Young soul, lift up your eyes
Brood not hopes and fears
And no more turn aside, the psycle’s mood
Embrace love’s mystery
For change is preordained
And rules your shadowed world,
enlightened mind
and wandering path
Original W.B.Yeats Poem
Who Goes With Fergus
Who will go drive with Fergus now,
And pierce the deep wood’s woven shade,
And dance upon the level shore?
Young man, lift up your russet brow,
And lift your tender eyelids, maid,
And brood on hopes and fear no more.
And no more turn aside and brood
Upon love’s bitter mystery;
For Fergus rules the brazen cars,
And rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars.

Addiction to Life Lyrics: Trevor Coleman
Wind whistling through an iron windmill
Gather in your skins
Cuddle and Muddle
mingle the exposed flesh
frost bites, and simmers
a great weight
ready to dissipate
After the big sleep
and before the big leap
caught in a twilight zone
The dawning of our own
addiction to life
White flakes of frozen thought
linger then disappear
a momentary flash
a recurring idea
We, the controllers and controlled,
are moving forward
It is nature,
the very first word
Now the wind whistles a higher pitch
and triggers an eerie overtone
Icy reverberation
around the iron windmill
whispered strands
from memory glands
like scattered sounds
reflect the first tone
Mother Earth is singing
and groaning
turning a polycycle
returning to a beginning
After the big sleep
and before the big leap
caught in a twilight zone
The dawning of our own
addiction to life

PolyIntegrate Lyrics by Trevor Coleman
People are leaving
boarding the boat
dark waters
forced exodus
No going forward
No going back
No good-byes
No bon voyage
Hope seeker
branded by the
stigma of victimhood
No place on solid ground
To be stranded
from the land of the living
and left by the wayside
——————————————
People arriving
leaving the boat
safe landing
soft integrate
Navigate future
include the past
say farewell
greet new home
Hope seeker
founded on a
network of soul support
Earth is a common ground
To be called forth
to the land of the living
and polyintegrated

‘PolyGone’ music & lyrics: Trevor Coleman
shifting shapes
and figurines
altered states
and realities
holy cross
and trinity
a buddha smile
serenity
a mother cries
a child is born
a delicate
balance is formed
an alien can travel time
a temporal breach, a subtle sign
crystal ball in a honey comb
a modulating polygone
-solos-
shifting shapes
and figurines
altered states
and realities
holy cross
and trinity
two soldiers greet, a truce in fire
re-align the line that trips the wire
crystal ball in a honey comb
a modulating polygone

The Sound of Jazz

The Sound of Jazz by Trevor Coleman
It swings like Ellington
sings like a mockingbird
grooves like a steamboat
and flies like Charlie P
Grateful as a spiritual
eternal as a prelude
burns like bebop
cool like Miles D
Blue like an evergreen
Rondo a la Turk
Return to Forever
immortal like Billie H
It breaths like an overtone
organic like a dream
as blessed as a child
and sad as a blues queen
As humble as silence
and sits like a raga
committed like Coltrane
and bold like a saga
The sound of Jazz
at every tone and layer
the beat of heart rhythm
that rhymes like a prayer
(repeat the lines in reverse order)

Stay with me words & music: Trevor Coleman
All this time
I thought you were gone
no messages, no sound of return
Now I hear
you’ve been here all along
hiding out, in the shadows of time
We faced our fears
and trusted in pain
a reminder of, how much we gained
We talked in rhymes
and laughed on a beat
all the while, riding on a dream
Then one day
after one more broken heart
the change came on, and your eyes looked away
Coming home
to a hallway of emptiness
all sign of you, remained as a memory
————solo—————
All this time
I thought you were gone
no messages, no sound of return
Now I hear, you’ve been waiting all along
hiding out, in the shadows of time
Does this mean
that hope is a key?
and after all, what is lost can still be found
I pray for peace
and the wisdom to see
the inner-sense of what’s meant to be
Underneath the hurt
alongside the pain
a beauty shared, and long years of growing up
And now we’re here
a crossroad in our story
we can hold the form, embrace the rhyme and reason
All this time
I thought you were gone
and now I hear, you may want to stay
you may want to stay
All this time,
you were never gone
and now I know, you’re here to stay
you’re here to stay
