CABIB FEVER © 1996 (Mosa) Mimi Baczewska
Winter in the wagon sitting by the fire,
Ice on the trees in the cloudy nighttime
Candle reminds me of my desire
Want to see stars and the moonshine, moonshine
It has been weeks of cloudy weather,
Ice snow rain and even thunder
I wanna see sun brightly shining
Gotta bad case of cabin fever.
I look to the sky and it seems so dreary
Dreaming of an island in the ocean
I want some days where I’m feeling cheery
Want to be with that special someone
It has been weeks of cloudy weather
Feeding the cats, feeding the fire
I know how we’d while away the hours
Gotta bad case of cabin fever
This is the season to go inward
Strengthen the heart keep the home fires burning
I have been doing all the things that I should
Hoping that it will ease my yearning
Want to be quiet, want to listen
Want some good food, want some company
Oh, winter is bringing me all this wanting
And this bad case of cabin fever
** Winter season there’s a reason ice is falling from the sky
Explanation, hibernation ice is falling from the sky
Nothing to do but stay here, nowhere to go can’t get there
Days go by and ice is falling from the sky….
Next month I’ll probably have a really big phone bill
Gotta a lotta birdies coming to the feeder
I walk to the post box every day now
I have become an avid reader
Got my guitar to keep me going
I sing and I play for hours knowing
This song is helping bring the cure on
To this bad case of cabin fever
Outside I view the wonders of nature
Would it be any easier if someone else were here (sigh)
Think I’ll go rearrange the furniture
Gotta bad case of cabin fever

Keep It Free

KEEP IT FREE © 1996 MOSA MIMI BACZEWSKA
Standing in the open wind
Feel the pulse of Love take hold of me
Soaring in my every breath
Rooted in the pull of gravity
Birds fly round and round my head, calling me, calling me
Brides cry round and round my head, calling for this time
to keep it free, ohhh keep it free
Floating on the water wide
Feels the waves, the tides take hold of me
Loving so much what I feel inside
Each change, each truth a source of dignity
Rainfall all around my heart, asking me, asking me
Rain falls all around my heart, asking for this time
to keep it free, ohhh keep it free
Life may be long and it may not
Never know when death may come around
Precious are these moments that I’ve got
To this place I'm bound but only temporarily
Each day I rise thankfully, the daily becomes extraordinary
Each day I rise graciously, the daily becomes extraordinary
Standing on the solid earth
Sharing with you what I have to give
Knowing deeply what my life is worth
Loving each moment that I live
Something happens in my soul, I can feel my spirit rising
Something happens in my soul, spirit rises calling me oh
Something happens in my soul, praying for this time to keep it
Something happens in my soul praying for this time to keep it free
ohhh keep it free, ohhh keep it free, keep it free, ooohhh….

MY HEART ©1995
My heart dreams you, a love that is so freely given
My heart speaks true, a voice in me that I can listen to
Every breath, every one, every dream can come true oh
Each heart dreams like no other and my heart dreams you…
My heart dreams peace in all I do and all I’m living
My heart seeks peace, a life on earth so freely given
Every breath, every one, a song of passion sung
Each heart loves like no other, and my heart sings aoooo!
Hearts grieve, hearts cry, all over the earth hearts are breaking
I must believe, I follow my heart to it’s waking
Every moment every one, the wheel goes round and round
All hearts beat a common rhythm….

Peace Deep Inside © 1996 (Mosa) Mimi Baczewska
I fill up my life with the moments that pass
I do what I like and I’ll tell if you ask me
About how my heart beats the feelings are true
Sometimes I am hurting sometimes you are too
But the greatest of wishing I hope to come true
Is the peace deep inside of us all
When one is forgiven, how does that feel?
A form of illusion or something that’s real
The forgiver forgave her for hurting the heart
A balance was struck and it turned into art
As each one is valued there opens a part
Of the peace deep inside of us all
Attention to detail the story is told
Will lead to perfection and teach ones the old ways
Of sacred leaves falling from sacred tall trees
Each moment that passes there’s someone released
And I’ll pray on my toes and I’ll dance on my knees
For the peace deep inside of us all.
Thanks to the presence of those we don’t see
Thanks to the true elemental relations
And thanks to the Power that lives inside me
With all due respect given so graciously
To each one who looks and to each one who sees
The peace deep inside of us all
I fill up my life with the moments that pass
I do what i like and I like what I do
And I’m feeling my heart and the beating is true
And the greatest of wishing has yet to come true
And I’ll do all I can and it’s all I can do
For the peace deep inside of us all.
For the peace deep inside of us all.
For the peace deep inside of us all.

She's a Keeper

She’s a Keeper © 1996 (Mosa) Mimi Baczewska
It took a little dance, it took a little dance
It took a little dance to bring her to me
It was a starry night, it was among the trees
It took a little chance to bring her to me
I started opening, it was a big surprise
I didn’t know that I would let myself love her
I started opening, I looked into her eyes
i didn’t know that she would love me
It was a starry night, there was a balmy breeze
The night was glistening, the night was pleasure
It was a rosy dawn, she stood among the trees
i took her in measure for measure
It was a daring move, there are no certainties
Her loving sets my heart romancing
And no one need approve of what she means to me
Her loving sets my spirit dancing
How could something so new be so familiar
And how come it took so long to find
I want this love to last, I’m like a spinning top
I’m moving fast I’m standing so still
My wings are open wide, don’t want this love to stop
I want to go as far as I will
It’s never been this way, it’s so mysterious
Each time we meet deeper and deeper
And I would like to say, that this is serious
In the vernacular, She’s a Keeper.

The Love That Matters

The Love that Matters © 1994 Mosa Mimi Baczewska
Too many years of hiding kept my spirit in the dark
Too many years too frightened to let love leave it’s mark
But the fire has been ignited and it nourishes a spark
Of a soul that used to shatter and a flower that now easily blooms
Sometimes it takes a trauma to turn the head around
Sometimes it’s just life’s drama that keeps me rooted to the ground
But when everything was taken, each moment was my home
So I took some time for growing, in silence and alone
*I’ve come a long way to arrive back at myself
But the distance has been shortened by a love that matters
And when I am the only one around
I am the one who gives myself the love that matters
I found a message in the willow, a message in the sky
There’s a message in the lightening gaze that I see in your eye
When I look I do not waver, no need for when or where
I find myself inside me and I find my courage there
And my courage has a vision my vision knows the way
And it leads me to a wisdom that I’ve longed for everyday
*
Too many years of hiding left my spirit in the dark
Too many years too frightened to be nourished by the spark
But the fire has been ignited and love has left it’s mark
On a soul that used to shatter and a flower that now easily blooms

BACZEWSKA © 1999 Mosa Mimi Baczewska
Delicious food at Grandma’s house on weekends in Long Island
Always candy in the dishes on the coffee table
A box of games 200 of them stored under the couch
We never learned them all
Kruschiki, kielbasa, sauerkraut 4x
I was once the gawky child who thought that she was ugly
Spoke it to the mirror on Grandma’s dressing table
But I was more than just a Polish girl who learned quite early
To be ashamed of the name you couldn’t say
Kruschiki, Baczewska, sauerkraut 4x
Grandma came to live with us, she was no longer able
To keep up the apartment in the city by herself
Grandma taught me to crochet and knit and speak some Polish
Her last name is the one I carry proudly through the years
Kruschiki, Baczewska, sauerkraut 4x
