This collection of song lyrics encompasses: a Collection From the Karma Bank, Still Wide Awake in the Now, Capturing the Glow, Beginning to Imagine Better, and Following by Listening. They are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow ... They are also evocative songs about living in this time, seeking serenity, and appreciating what we have. They are additionally about going after beauty so that it's a part of our space.

You can access recordings of Chiemi's songs online.
