Wait for the pause between now and forever.
Yesterday comes once again - waking and sleeping.
Meet in the gap that time leaves in your mind.
Time is an octave like music or light.
It helps to know the right key.
The structure of form is built by a note.
Candles won't burn in the sun.
The speed of a thought is faster than light.
Faster even than time.
The past is tomorrow - an instant gone by.
Forever died long ago.
Today is a movement to soon to be late.
Wherever is next to the start.
Voices of angels sing us the chorus.
The verse is sung by your heart.
The time is right now - before it is lost.
Lost in the crevice of why.
The music of life plays all the songs the radio cannot find.
We seem to remember our only good-bye that opened the
door to because.
Time is just like a big ball of string
that has no beginning or end.
It seems to unravel as minutes make hours
but ours is a minute too short (second or third).
Why is the sun unlike the moon?
Why are the stars on the street?
Fortune and fame roll in the mud.
Sanity rarely gets up.
The pause that refreshes pauses not once.
It doubt if it pauses at all.
Reason and rhyme don't go together
especially not in yours.
The reason we're here is not to grow old.
It happens because we forget.
The sound of the future is heard
in the silence of yesterday as it awakens.
So fear not the past - for when it returns, a friend
will bring it to you.
It's all about now right after the end.
The middle is only the start.
What is the truth if it's not itself?
How can it be one in the same?
The shortest of moments are too long to stand.
They always seem to fall down.
Sleep is the only time that I know
when time seems different at all.
But sleep isn't time - sometimes I don't know
if it's time to end this song.
Wierd as it seems - it's seam isn't weird
for it is seamless it seems.
Words have no meaning - they change all the time
if time can even be changed.
They're mean and they're average.
They trick you whenever they can.
They change what they mean.
The change is in movers
How can you change your mind?

My T.V. took ill
Panic and sorrow
covered my shroud.
Tears over game
cries were so loud.
My rational self
I felt so alone
Lost in my sorrow,
I ran from my room
hoping to find
others just like me
who loved to unwind.
In a dark tavern
I found my reward.
A big screen in color (life-like)
To conquer the bored.
I bitched and I moaned
and cried in my beer.
My T.V. was now broken
my partner, my dear.
I felt sorry and selfish
I sulked like a child.
Inside I was empty,
my fears had gone wild.
A stranger beside me
destroyed my self pity.
His blindness had made his mind twice as witty . . .

THE THIRD EAR IS WHAT
WE HEAR WITH WHEN WE
ARE DREAMING
THE THIRD EYE IS USED
EXCLUSIVELY
WHEN SLEEPING - IT IS ITS IMAGES
THAT WE REMEMBER WHEN WE WAKE UP
THE EYE OF THE NIGHT SEES MORE
THAN WE KNOW - WE CAN'T BEGIN
TO UNDERSTAND ALL IT SEES.
EYE OF THE HEART ON TOP OF THE HEAD
OUR SOULS ONLY WINDOW TO ALL THAT IS SAID
FOCUS OUR SOUL ON KNOWLEDGE DIVINE
HELP US TO GROW WISER
AND KINDER AS WHOLE
EYE OF THE HEART
THE THIRD ONE ABOVE
EYE OF THE HEART
OPENS WITH LOVE
OUR SOULS ONLY IN WINDOW
TOT HE OUTSIDE WORLD
FIND THE STREAM IN THE WOODS
THAT FLOWS FROM THE HEART
IN THE VALLEY OF LOVE
USE THE LIGHT FROM BELIEVING
IN MAGIC AND MYTH
TO SEE THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE
MOUNTAINS OF KNOWLEDGE
GROW STRONGER WITH AGE
WITH VEILS OF CLOUDS AS A CROWN
MEADOWS OF MUSIC
LAY BLESSED BY THE SUN
SWAYING IN THE BREEZE OF
REALITY FADES WITH THE SUNSET
AS DREAMS RIDE WITH THE NIGHT
THROUGH FORESTS OF SLEEP
CONSCIOUSNESS SURRENDERS TO INTUITION
AND STRUCTURE FLIES WITH THE WIND
TWILIGHT COLORS THE LANDSCAPE
WITH TRUTH
WHILE HOPE AWAKENS WITH
THE MOON.
NATURE UNDERSTANDS THE CHANGE
OF FUTURE TO PAST
BUT MISSES THE LEAVES ANYWAY
AND WE FIND THE STREAM IN THE WOODS
BY FOLLOWING OUR HEART
THROUGH THE MAZE
THE MAGIC OF NIGHT
WEAVES HER WEB OF CALM EASE (DELIGHT)

BEYOND TOMORROW IS NEW AND BRINGING
WHATEVER WE SEE
IT'S ALL OF YOUR DREAMS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
THE FUTURE IS JUST THE DAY THAT IS AFTER
IF IT IS AFTER THE DAY OR THE DAY THAT
IS AFTER
THE PAST IS BECOMING THE PRESENT
AT LAST THE FUTURE IS WAITING
TO DIE JUST AS FAST AS
TODAY IS DISSOLVING INTO TOMORROW
BECOMING THE PAST OF YESTERDAY'S
FUTURE
ALWAYS RUNS EXCHANGING AS TIME
CHANGES ALL THAT CHANGES ITSELF
TO WHATEVER COMES
NEXT
FALLING AWAY EACH SECOND
DIES OFF ONLY TO GIVE
BIRTH TO ANOTHER JUST LIKE
ITSELF ITS DAUGHTER AND MOTHER
FLYING TOMORROW IS TODAY'S ONLY CHILD
FINDING
YESTERDAY'S GRANDSON AND
ANOTHER SOON CREATING
EACH SECOND JUST LIKE THE
FIRST
ALL DISAPPEARING WHEN CHILD IS
NEARLY
READY TO RUN INTO THE
FUTURE
THE FUTURE OF ALL THAT
PASSED IN THE NIGHT
TODAY'S ONLY CHILD

PRICE OF LIFE
THE PRICE OF LIFE IS NOT SET FOR US
BY COMPUTER OR ACCOUNTANT
IT CAN'T BE PAID BY CREDIT CARD
OR HEAVILY DISCOUNTED
THE PRICE OF LIFE IS DIFFERENT (NOT THE SAME)
FOR EVERYONE WHO PAYS
IT CAN'T BE PAID BY CHECK OR CHARGE
IT'S NOT SUBJECT TO THOSE TAXES
THE PRICE OF LIFE IS PAID EACH DAY
IN STRUGGLE AND IN STRIFE (PAIN)
IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY RECESSION
OR EVEN DAMNED INFLATION!
SOME WILL SAY IT IS BALANCED OUT
BY EVERY INCARNATION
WE SET THE PRICE FOR OURSELVES
AND EVEN SOMETIMES OTHERS.
IT ALL IS BALANCED OUT
IN A LEDGER SOMEPLACE ELSE
IT ALL IS BALANCED OUT
IT'S WHAT'S KNOWN AS

IF I COULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME
TO MAKE YOU MINE
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
LIKE YOU SHOULD
TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME
IF YOU COULD (WOULD)
IF I COULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME
TO MAKE YOU MINE
TO TAKE THE TIME
TO MAKE YOU MINE
IF I COULD ONLY MAKE YOU MINE
TO TAKE THE TIME
IF WE WOULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME
TO TRY A LITTLE
IF WE WOULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME
TO LOVE EACH OTHER
TO CARE A LITTLE FOR OUR BROTHERS
TO CARE A LITTLE FOR OUR MOTHERS
IF WE WOULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME
TO TAKE THE TIME
TO TAKE THE TIME
TO TAKE THE TIME
IF WE WOULD ONLY TAKE THE TIME

OUR SLEEPING LOVE AWOKE WITH A BANG
OUR SLEEPING LOVE IN A POEM WE SANG
OUR SLEEPING LOVE GROWS STRONGER WITH AGE
OUR SLEEPING LOVE SEES THE WORLD AS A STAGE
FORBIDDEN BY REASON IT STARTED AS LUST
THEN GREW INTO FRIENDSHIP SO CLOSE WE COULD TRUST
OUR MINDS MET AS EQUALS IN A MUTUAL THOUGHT
THIS MENTAL ATTRACTION THE CHALLANGE WE SOUGHT
OUR FLOWER CALLED FRIENDSHIP THEN BLOOMED INTO LOVE
LIKE A ROSE IN THE ARTIC OR THE BIRTH OF A DOVE
OUR MINDS AND OUR BODIES OUR HEARTS AND OUR SOULS
MAGNETICALLY BINDING ELECTRONICALLY WHOLE
MUSICAL HARMONY - FITS LIKE A GLOVE
I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT THE CHORD OF TRUE LOVE
OPEN AND HONEST CONFIDING AND WARM
TOTALLY NATURAL - THE EYE OF THE STORM
FEELINGS FORGOTTEN OVER THE YEARS
RETURN LIKE A BOMBSHELL TO CONQUER OUR FEARS
IT SEEMS THAT WE MET A LIFETIME AGO
IN ANOTHER DIMENSION - IN A PLACE WE BOTH KNOW
WHERE WILL IT LEAD - HOW LONG WILL IT LAST
DON'T LIVE IN THE FUTURE - DON'T LIVE IN THE PAST
CHERISH THE PRESENT SO PRECIOUS A GIFT
THIS WONDERFUL MOMENT OUR HEARTS IT WILL LIFT
OUR SLEEPING LOVE HAS AWAKENED AT LAST
OUR SLEEPING LOVE SO IMMENSE AND SO VAST
OUR SLEEPING LOVE IS ASLEEP NO MORE
OUR SLEEPING LOVE IS JUST STARTING TO SOAR
SLOWLY IT GREW SOFTLY AND QUIET
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BURST INTO RIOT
OUR HEARTS FULL JOY OUR MINDS FULL OF BLISS
OUR SOULS JUST BEGINNING THE INFINITE KISS

The sleep that comes too late
The sleep that changes hate.
The sleep we need
if to proceed
Beyond ourselves to love.
Sleep is but a rest in time.
It only heals the wounds of mind.
A dream can show
which way to go
A dream is but a lesson.
Our dreams are not what we think.
Our dreams are more than resting up.
Our dreams can solve the game of day.
Our dreams are more like work than play.
school
To die is but to come alive.
To die is losing lies and hate.
To die is that for which we wait.
Waking up from a bad nightmare
is like our voyage from here to there.
The death of body cannot touch mind
for when we die we graduate
from school or prison whate'r the fate.
Life is hard - it's meant to be
It's hard as Hell for you and me.
Pain and boredom are its worst traits -
forever seeking that great unknown.
Misconstrued and full of doubt;
We seek to learn what it's about
Dissatisfied with all we do -
the ones that aren't, are very few
We can't remember why here we came -
We only feel the guilt and shame.
To love and learn and rise above
to not feel hate nor push or shove.
Is why we're here in suits of flesh
we've had examples all through the world
Saviours, Saints, and Sages wise
have shown us how to live our lives.
We came to learn how to control
the body, mind, and then our soul.
To learn the lesson and graduate
is why we came not to wait.
Examples many we see each day
those special ones can show the way
Saviours, Saints, and Sages wise
have shown us how to live our lives.
They sacrifice their selfish needs;
they live for others, especially weeds.
They give themselves to those in need
They long to see their brothers freed.
If all could learn to live like them
pain and misery would vanish fast.
We're like a child lost in the night
knowing where to find the light.

The truth cannot be bought and sold.
It must be free - it must be told.
It's not found in just one book.
Here and there one must look.
It's pieces many scattered far
it came to us by distant star.
It can't be found in just one teaching,
it's in them all, forever reaching.
A jigsaw puzzle mixed with many.
No other person can help you any.
Your voice inside knows which piece
from old Tibet to ancient Greece.
Choose your truths with utmost care.
Following others can cause despair.
The voice inside - the voice inside.
My head, the voice, inside - inside.
The voice, the voice, the voice inside.
The more it costs, the less it's worth.
The best of truths are found in mirth.
When in doubt, just turn iside.
Hear the voice, let it guide.
Any teaching that scorns another
isn't really worth the bother.
(won't show you how to love your brother)
Truth is free - free for all
Free to love, free to fall.
The price of truth is not in Gold,
for truth cannot be bought or sold.
Truth is very hard to find -
it's hidden deep within your mind.
It's not for sale and not for rent.
So be aware of what you've spent.
Truth is wisdom, love, and knowledge;
It can't be found in church or college.
