The Misfits

We come from a long line
               of derelicts and misfits
                      feeling around in the dark
I knew that indecipherable love
               from above, below, and inside
                 before I knew it from the various
Manifestations and formations
               I have come to know, the light
                    show with its soft glow, like a
                       mother bird's firm shove
I still haven't found out what
               would happen if I completely
                        let go in the dream
Feeling myself falling apart
       a freefall from deprivation
                   and self preservation
Would it be more like falling apart at the seams
                   or floating downstream and such
We are indeed wild
            and a touch dramatic
                          a synergy, telepathy
It's all simply a wellspring of timing
             Time after time epiphanies
                     nestled in our beds while
                                     while we dream

I Ching

I'm almost cheating by reading
      the I Ching. To know what's happening
Not trying to be a prophet
                of the Apocalyse
Not about the poles shifting.
This is an anonymous promise.
Judgment day is not what you think.
You should be prepared ahead
to kneel down  before your
                       Spiritual King.

That is the key to conquering suffering.
Being one with your natural surroundings.
Shedding doubt and distress
We're calling out doubting Tomas
Replacing disrespect with
               the gift of sacred offerings
Putting the lid on evil's sarcophagus
                     on the day of reckoning

Acting in accord with Heaven's blessings
             while is world keeps us guessing
It's possible that in this universe
              we are the most interesting
We can see that the soul is homogenous
One with all and quite contagious
The true gold is the soul
                                   so start investing
You will see returns in this life
                    you will find rather convincing

So, while the rest of the
                          world is salivating,
aggression and hostility escalating,
interpreting with great misunderstanding
the pretentious false premise of
                 "survival of the fittest"
you already know the point of the test
It isn't about accumulation of things
or about self marketing
It's about lending yourself
               to the fortunate-less
in preparation for the
         miraculous immaculate

Break The Glass

I can see you there
Hear you speak
I know your eyes
They speak to me
I want to break the glass
Between us and eternity

But I must follow where
There is a miracle in need
To rescue myself
It's others I must free
By picking them up fast
When they've fallen desperately

If I was in love
With an illusion
Heaven knows that
It was for good reason
I'll do my time, but
Not for my guilt of treason

The truth is this
Was born from above, but
We both came to a conclusion
And I know that there
Must be the seasons
I hope the warden pardons my intrusion
