Tendrils reaching up through turf Corrupting, tainting, blackening earth; Seek to fight the growing storm But where to strike a foe without form? Make your way to safety’s shore Until homeland is free once more; But the longer hiding with your thoughts The more, the more, this old heart rots; Don’t neglect it, don’t be afraid With courage and wisdom even monsters are unmade; But first out your own soul you must take The darkness of that very monster’s make; For no evil starts alone you see It grows, it grows, in you and me; Until it sprouts in other’s hearts And that is where it truly starts; So go and sp

Flowing freely, Down, dancing, Trickling, trembling, Waters wondrous.

Oh universal breath, take me higher to where my soul alone cannot reach Absolve me of my thoughts, my pains, all that is me, wash it away Remind me where I come from, how I am all, but all is not me How when my eyes close finally my energy is at one with all energy again And all of my fighting and resistance was futile, young old, rich poor, strong weak, it doesn’t matter Remind me light of lights what it is to die, so that my living is no longer drowned sin Sin of waste, sin of a clouded mind, separating “me” from wholeness Sin of disconnection, sin of words without meaning, and hearing without listening Sin of fear, doub

Plugged in You're not living Forever on Standby; Awaiting that Next jolt of Entertainment And fun; You don't see What you're doing Its just killing Time; Time... just an hour A day A week A year...

Now tell me, what from this

Tree heart Beat, beat Honey scents And lushness, Hidden away Far from Our eyes, This world Forbidden to Us, for We forsook It long Ago, the World of Dew leaves And chilly Mornings, of Grass and The singing of bird And beast And plant, But maybe One day, We may Come back, When we Close our Eyes and See with More than Just sight
