My Wish

What do I know about your life and what do you know about the shining sun?
Whom do I take by the hand to cross the street and whom does the bell ring for, if not for thee?

Strolling alongside me with eyes on my face, posture majestic in your eyes' embrace
Everything sings of peace and deep content, shining sun setting on others' weary heads

Nothing's required and nothing's pursued, all that is needed is the gaze made of you
Leaning to center inside and out, my wish is for you to find your sweet and solid ground.

Walking

To walk the road of life is something else, it's rather windy and has many dead ends, and it curves so much, we cannot see ahead, so we need to slow down and sometimes hope for the best.

What is covered by dust through the years of lethargy will need the attention of a painter in ecstasy, every grain of the sand may need to be carefully studied unless you like the strength of a leaf blower power.

And sometimes we need help, and sometimes we need a kick in the pants, and sometimes we need to cry and sometimes we need to be sly, and sometimes we fall to our knees and sometimes we jump like we've been bitten.

All in all, life is much like a dance between darkness and light, the stark madness and the sweet romance, until all of it goes beyond this yin and yang, it all comes together into a giant nothingness.

You can take all of you and fill it with all, you can take all of you and gracefully fall, you can take all of you and give it away, whatever the course, it is here to be walked.


Too Good

A process making its way down the hill
Pulling me along while I kick and scream
Hitting my head on tall and short walls
Bounce right back and then sing a fun song.
Movement comes out in the waves of my hips
Energy rises and spreads out in great leaps.
I stop for a moment to assess the road til now
Chuckle a bit and dive headlong to the unknown.
It's all in the process that things are revealed
Whatever the journey, its river's quite deep.
Just seeing myself in the light of the moon
Once settled and nestled, this life is simply too good.

Ready

Strip me of myself
Burn me to the ground
Burst me at the seams
Simmer me way down

Catch a falling star
Strolling to the west
Shoot the arrow straight
Slow like my breath

Strip me of my walls
Burn me, no hesitation
Bring me to my knees
Begging you, existence
