hello justin, john, graeme. i hope you are enjoying touring and life in general. i have been a moodies fan since around 1969, and have for many years wondered if you can give us die-hard fans the greatest gift of all? a new album recorded with mike pinder and tony clarke as producer. there are now millions of fans over the years who have enjoyed your music and continue to support the concerts, your catalogue and merchandise faithfully. do you not think that we would greatly appreciate a new album with a theme and a classic 7 look and feel? if each of you contributed 1 or 2 excellent songs, what a lasting tribute that would be to celebrate the moody blues phenomena for today and generations to come. it's long past time to heal the differences between you chaps and mike. at the very least, fly out to america to record the tracks with him. why not record in los angeles? or here where i live, sunny orlando, florida? what appears to be the blockage in recording a new album? the legal issues can all be overcome if you three and mike really have your hearts set on making this a reality. you're not getting any younger, and thou know deep inside that everyone would appreciate this (perhaps final) gift to the millions over the years who have supported you with unswerving loyalty and coin of the realm. if you're short of material, get ghostwriters or do joint effort songs; justin+john, john+graeme, justin+graeme, justin+mike, etc. don't you think that would be a great tribute to ray? perhaps dedicate the album to his remarkable contribution to the moodies magic over the years. if you really cannot get tony to produce, why not tony visconti, mike batt, jeff wayne, or even alan parsons? why not have a moodies rap which tells the moodies bio story. as to a title, how about one of the following; "knights in blue mood", "ascension in blue", "legend of a mood", "every good mood deserves a song", "moody skies". themes could be anything that strikes you as a group; "a retrospective look at life of the past 40 years", "the future of music", "favorite places from your travels", "something from nothing - the life cycle of a song", "life after death", "a tribute to ray thomas", etc. i have short and long poems that you are welcome to make use of, for inspiration or actual song lyrics. i would also be happy to write out the song lyrics for the cd insert. for many years i have been doing calligraphy; fancy lettering. if you wish to contact me, feel free to drop me a line at; anilpatel77@yahoo.com. thank you for your kind attention and your wonderful uplifitng gift of great music for such a long time. the moodies music has always stood the test of time, and i think has an eternal quality to it. cheers! all the best, anil patel... january 2014.

a few poems for the moodies to make use of as they wish (new ideas, themes, song lyrics, etc.). the only other place where they have been posted is on my facebook timeline over the last 2-3 years. enjoy!

FOR A LADY
dear lady, your beauty shames the colors and blossoms of spring.
where have you been shining your lights with an animated ring?
you are sunshine to all, chasing away winter, to make us all sing.
your eyes enchant & sparkle like colored stars, swans on the wing.

together we could lay the foundation of love, fidelity, loyalty, trust.
two souls in love with life and each other, passion to serve or bust.
what a joy to behold. working as a loving team? surely, we must.
we challenge each other & grow, in loving exchange; pary & thrust.

we both climbed the hill, and then skimmed stones on the lake of life.
supporting each other through life’s ups and downs, trouble and strife.
when we’re apart, have you noticed how the loneliness cuts like a knife?
can you promise with clarity to remain my nearest and dearest wife?

WHY PLAY SAFE?
when the heart is pulsing with the tone of pure love,
whoever you are, eagle at play in the sky or a dove,
sing with elation, a song of gratitude to the one above,
you become joined with the divine; fit like hand in glove.

mystics rejoice when one filled with grace expands as soul,
rivers cascade, mountains reach for the sky, actor in a role,
worn out, torn to shreds, still i am fit to serve to be whole,
empty of mind games, heart outpours love, beggars bowl.

throw caution to the eye of the hurricane, take life chance,
every day new choices do abound, blink and it's a glance,
discover and live the rainbow in every experience enhance,
mournful shanty turns into the sea-jest sing-along trance.

the path is clear of stones, rocks, & wood, the way is clear,
dare to tread where angels and masters merrily will steer,
only when we push life will it reward us, often with a cheer,
safe? only for those who exist, run with the bold, melt all fear.

SATIN WISHES
the fragrant sound of ten thousand geese flying north from manitoba, in skies,
catch a girl on the run, dancing to a new song, fling wide the arc of lightplay.
the cloak of a renegade enwrapped the glowing stones from the ancient times,
the peaks of autumn atop the mountain of forgiveness with sunrise promises.

the clock turns, as flowers rise and salute the golden rays of soleil, turning
the moonglow hides all ideas of joy re-appearing in boundless wonders flow,
the truth shatters the silence and thunders across the clouds in sky five-five,
tremors of celebration awaken to a new splendor as the wheel races two.

lessons on the hill and children learning with eyes keen like opal fire spins,
deepen the gloom but brighten the sun, and reveals the secrets of sky six.
enlighten me in liquid memories of ancient wood turning into gold-titanium,
as the single eye opens, when the other two close and going within myself.

invite the best, ignore the rest, as focus shimmers and flames burn green,
the ball of light seen across the universe in an arc of golden parallaxes.
the bridge still sings, in cases of lost songs, barren of envy, love so kindly,
does the green of summer turn gold in autumn's cascade fall of the leaves?

new life comes when least expected, so why does love have to be so blind?
seek the highest and rebound with less rather than more. the tides also turns,
run to the west of the lighthouse beacon changing colors of rainbow sightings,
surf the waves of lost hope and come up laden with the new treasures of soul.

take the best, and grow it better. leave behind the old plates of dark failure.
as champions rise, what color do you live each moment in time of high wins?
in the scintilata of caves underground, the wind songs do blow on mountains,
there is an oak tree by the blue river of sky satin wishes. i'll see you there now.

SILENT TWILIGHT
in the silence of a bitter drink, when twilight fades and runs away,
a dream almost come true, shatters the sacred promises of joy.
glass stairway leading to heaven now beckon, instead of a play
blue rose turn to face a crimson sun, tangy peach aroma springs.

the extinguish of a candle flame, light no more, hide in darkness,
no more blossoms, the day has ended for good cheer has flown.
how can we smile again, in the wake of such rejection lights,
resilience works wonders when the master approaches in blue.

why is love so distant when it came so close, but to be taken?
how cruel destiny and heaven do merge in timeless whispers.
i drown in a sea of lost tears, as diamonds glimmer mimics ice,
it was never meant to be, but for a moment... i lived a dream.

MARBLED VISIONS AT PLAY
on a pedestal of white marble with intricate blue veins as highlights at random play, there was a book. open and glowing with a golden light. i stood over it and saw through the brightness, an ancient script with of a glowing blue light. as i read the words, images in 3d hovered over the pages; people, places and objects of wonder. this cinema continued for a while, with a rushing wind melody playing softly in the background. here is what i read; "go ahead, create the pure impossible, allow it to shimmer into the august realm of reality. your imagination is the key, taking care to purify your visions, before you express them to the universe, with love."

SMILE OF MORNINGS PAST
chimes, bells, clap of hands, hear the melodic sound pierce the heart
purify the mood, open the wings, share a happy moment with a friend
crashing tone and emerald pulse, sound out the stallion rampant start
we'll meet in the next life, where wounds of the night will surely mend

can we share the same dream, by loving grace of the dream master?
the longer we live, the more i love you within any rhyme and reason
when souls meet, and fingers touch, harmony of hearts beating faster
will you write in your inner sky that god loves us in every good season

laughing morning, october afternoon, a song remembered, a story told
many happy memories to enjoy with all we meet and thank for sharing
where the third heaven reveals past, present, future; run with the bold
i salute you dear master, stay with me, and we will never cease caring

AMBIENT SWAY
in the blending of colors pure,
we infuse the moods that endure.
within a season and a love song,
shaping our hearts to belong.
emerald rain to jade cascade,
a river flows as twilight fades.
if you know a secret, keep it so,
as you learn, the less you knw.
in the merging of all sounds,...

FEATHERSONG
light as a feather, mimic the lark.
we float on air, as a divine spark.
a light to illuminate our dreams,
on white horses, race as a team.
exchange your frown with a smile,
distance between you and i, no miles.
gentle waves race over the shoreline,
a lighthouse guides ships, as a tall sign.
wings on our feet, we fly, light as foam,
how can we make our way home?

GOLDEN DREAM
she is the golden flute nad when lips touched her,
she and the artist painted a new masterpiece
with heart and wind merging to burst forth,
from the holes in her slender suit of gold.
suddenly, time and space disappear, and the
sound is transformed into a single note
with amazing sustain. how delightful!
is this a momentary flight to a higher heaven,
or am i dreaming in fields of gold?

FLYING IN RHYME
along the cross-wind of an ancient legend
lives a prince, highborn of captive enchant.
sailing the seven seas of fusion high spirits
leave me with love, and on return see me fly.
color my heart with the hue of love's fragrance
when flying as one, we rhyme in song and dance
release me to the cascading songs of the sky-wind
what will i become ten million autumns from now?

RENDEVOUS
uncover a hundred disguises
inhale without breathing
make a wish to sing to the sky
unfold your wings in secret
see a sunset with no shadows
smile to improve your face value
create sounds, only you can hear
ascend with joyous abandon
prepare a meal and give it away
give thanks for all you have
meet me at our high place
share highlights of your day

SPIRITS RISE
share a happy vision, see it come alive
the grangrance of a rose, our sights revive!
sing a happy song brimming with joy; the HU
simple and loving, a sound just for you.
look into the eyes of a child, alive and gay,
say hello with love to fulfill your day.
laugh at the sun, serenade with the moon,
open a heart, i'll see you there real soon.
when fingers touch and spirits do rise,
we live in grace, sing a song to the wise.

NEW HORIZON
sing a new song for the turning of the year
celebrate your vision that becomes so clear.
text messages of good vibraions to one and all
in the soft ambient light, see us rise to the call.
purging old patterns from all the past reborn
tread a new bend in the road, ahead well worn.
at your journey's next bend, find new friends
in this new cycle of love, look back at future trends.
paint this time as the very best you'll ever see
deliver the goods to your heart, until you fly free.
