1.
Many tales Throughout these lands Expanses so wide Within and without A mystery deep Beauty that the eyes behold Beauty that the heart can feel Inner and outer planes Unified through Spirit All-pervading essence of life Taking many shapes and forms Within these mountains, forests and gardens Hills, rivers and pathways I see a reflection That many have forgotten The golden light still shines Shine within Shine without Travel now to lands afar But also so near Lands we once knew Places forgotten Return there It is here
2.
At the first light of dawn The sleeping mountain awakens A shadow is cast on the land below Mist hovers through the valleys As the light hits All is transformed Into a blanket of gold The birds begin to sing Awaken now, awaken
3.
The land is enshrouded In the mist of the morning Old ruins all around Within them are memories Of times long gone Sitting within stillness Quiet and solemn Remembrance
4.
The hills surround me Shining green and golden The ground is covered in flowers They glow like stars Bright and vibrant Water flows in the distance It draws in my focus My vision is ethereal Heart and eyes connected Memories floating Hazy, yet still there From where do they come? Are they visions of the past? Or here in this moment?
5.
This beautiful land I have often walked along it Many memories Are written within these hills As I stand here I think of the trees That have fallen I remember them I think of the friends Who have walked with me Throughout the seasons All of the times shared Looking at this old house Now broken down I sometimes wonder How it looked many years ago I can almost see it Times before I was born Such a strange feeling Nostalgic and bright
6.
Down the road In the hollow Surrounded by trees There is a house An old man lives there His garden grows in the summer His fire burns in the winter Such a beautiful place
7.
When the grass grows high The fields do sing Swaying like waves They dance softly Wind rushes through the trees Chimes sound in the distance Birds are singing their song Breeze is flowing in the meadow
8.
The Guardian 02:45
The guardian stands tall At the edge of the forest Eyes gazing outward Aware at all times Observing those who enter Keeping watch over those inside
9.
Voices of the heavens Sing songs upon the earth Breaking through from beyond In the singing of birds And water flowing through the woods What a joy to know It is here This beauty all around It shines in a radiant light Throughout these leaves What a gift it is to see And to feel This woodland majesty
10.
Softly speaking Echoing all around Whispers from the trees Their voices Share the wisdom Of ancient times A simple truth From the beginning Written in the soil From the seed it shall grow
11.
Faint lights shining In emerald translucence Moving and dancing Like candles in the night Glowing Here and there they rest Here and there they go The trees and lights speak One voice made up of many Softly whispering, singing Crystalline and filled with life Illumination Eyes open Heart open Singing with them In a silent stillness Ebbing and flowing The voice inherent In all things
12.
Garden Gate 04:12
A path through the trees The sun is shining through A gate stands there An entrance to the garden Open and enter The place of healing Inside there is peace A reflection of the heart The breathe of life This place, existing now A sanctum between worlds It feels as if only a memory But it is always here
13.
Blossom 04:42
Blossoming forth Beyond time and space Free of restriction There is peace here Renewal
14.
Brightly colored tower Ascending from the garden In these halls so vibrant There is clarity Look within and grow anew
15.
Evening sky colored golden The first stars appear Birds sing softer and softer The stream echoes in the distance As I look upon these luminous bodies Contemplating their form I see the Great Mystery Reflecting back to all life

about

Life, in its seen and unseen aspects, is diverse yet connected. Magnificence and beauty are found in both the large and the small. Up and down, in and out, heart to heart, essence to essence, all things are reflecting back to one another.

Within life there is beauty. I feel that the beauty which we see on this earth goes deeper than the surface. The beauty that we see with our physical eyes and feel within is a reflection of a greater beauty deep inside of ourselves and in turn is a reflection of the Source. This beauty is felt and interpreted differently by everyone in an individual way and is found in both the simple and the complex. This essence is shared by all life and there is always within our awareness a part of ourselves that recognizes it. We just have to focus, see and feel.

This album is an individual expression of these pieces of beauty which I experience personally and how I interpret them. It is inspired by things of the past and things of the present, things of the soul and their reflection in the material realm. It is a mix of memories, imagination and an ever-present, wondrous view of life. It is an organic and earthy approach to deeper things.

My hope is that this album will bring a sense peace and beauty to all who listen and that you may go own your own journey.

All music by Darien D.

This album is dedicated to all of the beautiful people that I have met so far in this life and to all of the friends I have found in every corner of it, whether they may be people, plants or animals. It is also dedicated to the beauty that I see and feel all around me in its many forms and to those golden, luminous memories that I can never quite put into words.
