We swung quietly on the swing set, the last week we were here
I saw beavers in the meadow, I witnessed golden fields full of dear
I felt mulch crack in the frost beneath my feet
We drank the most sour wine, but the flavor turned to sweet.
A flock of geese flew through the air to return south
Can you see the rolling road and a grey sky
I'll let an image of this moment rest inside my eye.
Dissecting all the different shades and tones of green
Takes my wandering mind off of what I have seen.
I know where my feeling ends, but I'm not so sure about me
Like a raindrop living in a tactical sea
So we live our lives as parcel and part;
A tiny cell living in a planetary heart
-------
We swung quietly on the swing set, the last week we were here
I saw beavers in the meadow, I witnessed golden fields full of dear
I heard a loud errupting sorrow drift out idly from the sky
I watched the rain drops all fall down like a transcendental cry
Witnessed two droplets intersect, like a hurricane and a car.
To call the land your own, just feels foreign and Bazar.
I think that I know nothing, but I'm sure I know it all
Said I'd be gone till Spring, but came running home in fall.

There's a rapid change happening inside of me,
And I'm not talking about my autoimmune disease.
At times I find myself looking into the sunsets seeing this slightly existent
Yet basically invisible rainbow smudge of light
Permeating through the clouds as it lightly radiates into my retina.
And in this moment, I see a light at the end of the tunnel
The same way you do right before passing out
But there's never actually a tunnel in this scenario, just the white light at the end.
It envelopes all I have
And these few sun kissed seconds that I relive every day
Show me that we are eternal.
We are love.
We are in a never ending game of hide and seek with each other
Acting as perpetrator and victim,
Object and subject,
Time and space,
Static and dynamic,
Just to remind ourselves why we are.

Hula hoop in tandem, a binary star
I want to hold you when we're close, and gaze upon you from afar
Nestled close together, like the bows of an ampersand
You could pull me apart, let me unfold or expand
But you're my dues ex machina, the answer to myself
You are porcelain and all its beauty; a lovely marble delf.
I have loved you in many lives and many different forms
We sang on mountain tops and I held you in the storms
We ran while lightning walked, exploring the vast array
Of recesses in your neck, the next home where I will stay.
Impressions are left by the placement of finger tips
I wonder if mine leave a recess on your hips
Leaving reminder of the love that we share now
Going from head to heart like a mind full of cacao.
We melt into a puddle; a fit just like a glove
Making our image nondifferent to that of 'love'

I want to wear a sunflower as a hat and play the tambourine
I want to truly feel this magick, I want my passion to be seen
I want stars to cry out from the sky
That they only exist within my eye
I want to touch the other side with both parts of my lips
I want to feel the infinite before the moment slips
We can dance and shout and move around
Swimming in the air on a transcendental sound
Pushing and pulling, creating and destroying I cannot decide what sounds better
But this is our universal love letter:
Color and shape are one in the same
Eclectic interests vanilla personalities, I fear that I am lame
Afraid my decisions know me best
From an unknown source in a cozy random mess
Playing the actor while I am actually the audience
Asking for help but never acknowledging the hints.

Siddhartha sat under the Bodhi Tree
Contemplating the meaning of you and me
Seeing through the void and to the strange
He said "the only thing that's constant is the change"
You need to let go of what you have
You are it and it is you, never being halved
To love another is to love yourself that is the highest truth of all
People aren't led by great men, that's not why kingdoms rise and fall
Emotions are a boomerang, you won't get rid of your temper by losing it
The Truth is buried deep within like a peach and it's pit.
The grass withers, the flowers fall
Yet the Truth is a never ending call
Don't believe me? Then you can ask Brother Paul
He'll say love is what the soul enthralls
And nothing else is real.
Look around my friend, this world is ours,
Your happiness can spread like spores!
From your throat and past your tongue
Through your ears and out your lung;
Circumnavigate the world at large
Even when you're not, you're still in charge.
