The Sweetest Thing

Plenty of people and conversations make me feel like I'm the wind
Constantly changing, never arriving
Finding new places to descend
You showed me the better things in life
Through you I see beauty, love, and all the things that make me what I am
You gave me the sweetest thing
Listening to sounds that live in moon rock craters in my skin
I say kratom, you say why not
Let's discover new again
You loved me, when I was just a rock
You gave to me beauty, love, and all the things that make me what I am
You gave me the sweetest thing

Don't think too much
It'll get you down
The mind has lots of tricks to play on you
Who you think you are
Is not who you are
You'll never find who you are inside your mind
Don't dream too much
It'll get you stuck
Fantasies are rife with uncertainties
Who I know I am
Stems from the great "I Am"
Therefore my deepest "I" will never die

I can't get you out of my head
Who said you've got to
Who said you have to
I think I like it here
I like it here

'America' by Walt Whitman
Centre of equal daughters, equal sons,
All, all alike endear’d, grown, ungrown, young or old,
Strong, ample, fair, enduring, capable, rich,
Perennial with the Earth, with Freedom, Law and Love,
A grand, sane, towering, seated Mother,
Chair’d in the adamant of Time.

Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in
Have you seen the bigger piggies in the starched white sheds?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dead
Always have clean sheds to play around in
In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking
Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

Look to the inside, not to the outside, to find yourself, cuz you won't find anything there.
The truth is inside, no it's not outside. You've gotta find it out all by yourself—yeah!
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(Show ya that I luv ya)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Letcha go baby)
Cause now since I see you it is all

Everything Is Music

Everything is music when our souls collide
Nothing matters except the love we have inside
Know that I will never, ever, ever let you go
Feel peace inside your soul—it is what you sow
Goodbye "me" and farewell to the "I"
There is only us—we are one in the sky
Everything is music, our hearts are in tune
Everything is music, love pushes us through
The walls, the walls, the walls, the walls, the walls…
(Love pushes us through!)
The walls, the walls, the walls, the walls, the walls…
(Love pushes us through!)
Goodbye "me" and farewell to the "I"
There is only us—we are one in the sky
Everything is music, our hearts are in tune
Everything is music, love pushes us through

‘Where Everything Is Music’ by Rumi
Don’t worry about saving these songs!
And if one of our instruments breaks,
it doesn’t matter.
We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.
The strumming and the flute notes
rise into the atmosphere,
and even if the whole world’s harp
should burn up, there will still be
hidden instruments playing.
So the candle flickers and goes out.
We have a piece of flint, and a spark.
This singing art is sea foam.
The graceful movements come from a pearl
somewhere on the ocean floor.
Poems reach up like spindrift and the edge
of driftwood along the beach, wanting!
They derive
from a slow and powerful root
that we can’t see.
Stop the words now.
Open the window in the centre of your chest,
and let the spirits fly in and out.
