Wisdom is your anvil
Help me understand
Let me in your castle
Put the keys in my hand

Try as anyone might
To learn to play your part
Bring to me your sunlight
For my awakened heart

The separation we withstood
Shall end with you in view
As we combine a force for good
Behold what we can do!

If you seek a truth so pure
You've yet to begin
When the outside world obscures
The mine of gold within

If you give me your trust
The universe will fill my jar
The heavens are swept like dust
Watch me scatter the stars

My only destination
To escape the prison of tedium
My presence is my salvation
I swim the ocean of freedom

After the spirit is free
All my distractions destroyed
Oh, to be destined to be
Dipped in a river of joy

I beseech you honey
Be part of my plan
I don't want your money
Be my perfect fan

I've grown tired of words
Have had this urge for years
Now I sing back to birds
And I don't care who hears

Sunlight is forestalled
Sky's overcome with gloom
Though the snow still falls
My heart is still in bloom

Sadness has control
Till brilliant paths are chosen
If darkness chokes your sou
Light will split you open

Ask them why they row
They'll flash you a grin
The clever fools who know
A river flows within

Dreaming life is meaningless
When dawn begins its creep
The breezes of the dawn profess
So don't go back to sleep

Brought together by design
Upon this peaceful shore
In harmony our souls combine
A fantasy no more

After the spirit is free
All my distractions destroyed
Oh, to be destined to be-
Dipped in a river of joy

You asleep upon the surf
Me with flag unfurled
With you a woman of the earth
And me a man of the world

My only destination
To escape the prison of tedium
My presence is my salvation
I swim the ocean of freedom

Show me my perfect match
Guide me by shining stars
Give me a bud from your branch
Give me a glass from your jar

Cover you with feather dust
To pleasure you succumb
Celebrate togetherness
An idea who's time has come

If you give me your trust
The universe will fill my jar
The heavens are swept like dust
Watch me scatter the stars

My ego's reign has been surpassed
By mantra's gentle formant
Destroy the future and the past
Taste nectar of the moment

Dancing has evolved
Became a sacred motion
I hope to be dissolved
Into a mighty ocean

i could surely earn
An untold gift of wealth
If I could only learn
To untangle me from myself

When I set out to explore
Limits of my ability
I open my internal door
And greet a new tranquillity

Sitting with a grin
People stop and stare
I'm satisfied within
So I don't even care

I don't fear deceptive lies
Don't need objective proof
What I know comes from the skies
Therein lies the truth

The uniform connection
That you might not recall
The ocean of affection
Which lies within us all

Let's forget what we know
Be the true object of wealth
Nullify the ego
Get out of the way of ourselves

As I count this daisy's petals
Do I ask does her love grow
No, to me it's settled
For I already know

When you beg and plead
'I give you this reply
You are all I need
To touch the azure sky

Though it can't hear you preach
It still knows what you mean
Although it has no speech
It shouts a love unseen

Flying high as rockets
A happiness defined
Not the depth of pockets
But emptiness of mind

All your beauty's on display
Under the silver moon
Everyone looks your way
As your light up the room

My world was shook
From a word divine
Has made this brook
Be a river of wine

There's no need to fight
To have a dream fulfilled
Listen to the night
Be still it sighs be still

Louder than the metal scene
Are your plaintive cries
Brighter than acetylene
The sparkle in your eyes

i now know what that flourish meant
When you swiveled your wine
A taste beyond all nourishment
A sweetness thus defined

Look not on tomorrow
Don't live in despair
You need only follow
I'm the one who takes you there

Words pour from translation
Like a waterfall
With such communication
I'm lost in the call

i could surely earn
An untold gift of wealth
If I could only learn
To untangle me from myself

If lovers are valiant
It's a matter of course
If the light of the beloved is absent
Love wills that it be brought forth

I have no need to sell the dress
Although I'm so compelled/
It manifests its elegance
Because you wear it well
