Trudging Thoughts


Her lids and limbs were heavy as she trudged the slope on tired feet.
If only she could reach the Tree.
In It's shade, she would lie down at last, and cool blossoms would rest lightly on her closed eylids.
And sleep, sleep would come and take her to that other place.
From THOUGHTS DURING CHURCH SERVICE, written on the program note sheet, 9/14/1987.

So Real

I know I could find a way out of here
If I could turn,
If I could move
In the direction of the sky.
how you fear me
how you can never hear me
how you try
to turn away from the sky
I was
Walking down the
City streets. I
did not know what
I would meet,
But I
Was so
Real.
I was so real.
I walk with the stars.
I walk with the sun.
I feel
So
Real.
How do I sustain this
Real?
oh, turn around.
turn around.
I know I could find a way out of here
If I could turn,
If I could move
In the direction of the sky.
walk with the stars.
walk with the sun.

The Work You Do

If you don't believe
In your most golden thoughts
Of what life should really be,
Then who will make it be?
No one but you.
No one but you
Can do the work that you can do.
Living out your days,
Dripping Time from a bottle,
Drops more precious than gold,
Oiling the wheels
Of the machine that enslaves you.
Oh Children of the Earth,
Children of the Earth,
Children of the Earth,
Remember.
Remember.
If you do not embody
Your most precious hope,
Your most splendid vision of what life can be,
Then who?

Unfold


unfold yourself
slowly and completely
leisurely and attentively
unfold yourself
