There are too many brain cells to kill them all
so I think I'll keep a few around to function
floating around in the milk shakes of my mind
Reminders of magic meeting the highly improbable
mixed in parables I would only decipher before death
and my life discoveries and education of one sort or another
blended onto my eyes like a pallet of shadows fresh in a tin
molding me into what who where when I am
color energy and light we all radiate like the sun
melting one into another through our connections
even on the net

even on the net
me myself and them
visions seen i forget
how to shut up and call it all zen

worlds left to the spin of the DJ
on my knees knowing better as i pray
dice are for rolling im in for what i bet
disclaiming the day that where then
All creeds and kinds and colors of us are blending, Till i suppose 10 million years from now we'll all be just alike. Same color, same size. Working together. And maybe we'll have all of the fascists out of the way by then. Maybe so. woody guthrie.

how to shut up and call it all zen
not babble on with the why and when
portray wisdom when you haven't a clue
although you don't know some will think that you do
but we can become what we think we are
if we walk the walk we still may go far
training ourselves with our actions tho forced
like anything learned can become our true course.

anything learned can become our true course
when feelings complete the lesson from Source
when everything mirrors the soul from within
all of life becomes our creation
However long the night, the dawn will break.

when all of life
becomes 'our' creation
we separate ourselves
from the process
of nature
and each other
to instead rely upon
a metaphor of
proprietary manufacturing
lending false faith
to our self-declared
omnipotence
resulting in the ironic
destruction of creation

perhaps instead
we should bow our head
in reverence
admit our ignorance
of the whole
and seek to learn
through discovery
that we are of it
and that it is not ours

^^^ Hi my sweet friend!!!

it is not ours, only on loan
this air and water
giving life as we think it
may we all live
learning to respect, just that
and love today
with the hope of tomorrow

and love today
isn't what love was
yesterday
isn't what love will be
tomorrow
don't expect it
don't reject it
just respect it
love's laughter
rising above the din

love today isn't what love was
when i had the feeling but lost the buzz
when i asked why and you said because
i knew the days were numbered

with hope collapsing i carried on
chasing pure oblivion
denying what i might have done wrong
sins mount beyond counts unencumbered

when i had the feeling but lost the buzz
the years went by by rote
a love so deep it ignored today
possibilities for future remote

another heart put in the pocket of past
once again time to walk the lone mile
another vow not to do it again
falls apart as your laugh leaves your smile

as your laugh leaves your smile
breaking through the warm night air
opening my heart a mile
overflows with loving care

our laughter echoes in the wind
while trees are strongly swaying
all sharing a universal rhythm
we feel we're one with everything
However long the night, the dawn will break.
