Fallin'

Am I allowed to blame while the innocent is being blamed by an ego lighting a fire

The Great Despair

One More Hit

Heaven is  
A choice 
For a life 
That’s real. 
Salvation 
Linked to death 
The truth is 
Hidden 
Within 
My breath. 
I stand 
On the purpose 
Of my soul. 
My heart knows 
The truth 
Of my will. 
My mind 
Relinquishes 
The grip 
As my thinking 
Slips away 
And the voice  
Begins to say 
Stand on your purpose 
Live through each day 
Rest 
Listen 
And pray. 
Pray for 
The meditative 
Rhythm 
As we work 
And play 
The shadowing 
Emblematic 
Reasoning 
Cannot stay 
The reach  
To control AI 
And geopolitics 
Cannot stop 
The motion 
Of your stance. 
This heart 
And the faith 
Transcending 
The dance. 
This romance 
Of time 
Speaking to 
What’s sublime 
The freeing  
Of something 
Captured 
By the mind. 
Seen on a wall 
Heard through 
The words. 
Comforting 
Like a bird 
Moving through 
A vision 
Holiness leaping out 
Of every decision 
Hear my word 
A plea 
To see past 
A shadow’s greed 
The numbers  
So vast 
Waiting as time 
Stands fast. 
Looking to you 
For your acceptance 
A spiritual food 
The breaking of bread 
More than 
Just being fed. 
Everything is sacred 
To the test of time 
Consecration  
Of my mind. 

I Stand on My Purpose

Once again
Once upon a time
Meets
The Golden Rule
Here we go again
It is time to pretend
A working-class hero.
Is that what is to be
Until you’re so flippin’ crazy
It’s going to be 
Hard to see.
Let it be
And try to find me.
Me is the We
A communication of thee.
Clueless
As we feel nothing
Going through us
 It seems to be 
screwing us
as we ask to excuse us.
Stop the line
Stop the lie
Be still
And go inside.
Bring the intrusion
To its conclusion.
Your why
Becomes your purpose.
Yes, that is correct
But it was also your mind
That disturbs us.
The alignment
Of your thoughts
The path that doesn’t cross.
Don’t be fooled
By the Golden Rule.
While its truth
That’s not being pursued.
The pursuit
Of happiness
Lies in your mind
Connected through
Your heart
That listens to your soul
To become 
The joining 
Of our wills.
The flagellation 
Of love
That never fulfills
Not the truth 
That is still
It only needs
To reach your will.
This extension
 Of your faith
The mitigation
Of this sanctimonious place.
Overly pious
The freedom to be one
With oneself
This negation
Of our mind
Is not the opposition
That it finds
But a truth
That doesn’t
Keep us blind.
Ground the body
Connect the mind
Sit still in a posture
And it is your soul
You will find.
Do unto yourself
And listen to your soul.
Now the connection
Of life will unfold.

My Golden Rule

Perhaps you think
Perhaps you open your mind
Perhaps you open your wings and fly
Perhaps you jump in and float.
Perhaps I will.
Perhaps you will.
Perhaps we will
Direct our will.
Perhaps we will let love
Fill our hearts
Connecting the thread
Of passion that’s still.
Still leaping through our faith.
Jumping past space.
Guiding my hands
With God’s given grace.
We are not alone.
A Voice that’s being sown.
Through our hearts 
That are prone
To love’s constant consciousness
Perhaps love’s consciousness
Love’s vision
Love’s guidance
Is a bond 
A covenant 
Of vision’s culminant
Of love’s judgement.
Perhaps I will live
With no fear
Perhaps I will see
Love everywhere
The abyss of perhaps.


Perhaps

Beyond me
Is the what
I want to see.
Past the accorded value
That the mind
Will not be ignored.
To be restored
Direct my awareness
Toward
A world 
That’s unabsorbed.
Love and perception
Go hand in hand.
Seeing past
The blindness
Of fear’s demands.
You fear
And cannot see
Obscuring in darkness
Looking at me.
The truth eclipsed
By fear
Soothe
Not becoming clear
The tale
Of two worlds
The choice is mine
To seek and find
Or
To seek and NOT find
This is all
I decide
What I wish to hold
In my mind.
To drop and roll
To experience
What unfolds.
OR
Just be still
And listen.
The two worlds
Become
The grand decision.
Freeing the mind
Into love’s divine.
Flowing through
Gratitude
Like a vine.
The unreal or the real
True or false.
Heaven or hell
It’s a choice
Just decide
To let go
Of that spell
Placed upon your eyes
By a decision
Of a storyline
Reaching to tell
Seek and find
While healing
The mind.
That shifted 
Its foundation
Away from time.
The task at hand
Is your decision
Of where to stand.
With vision at hand.
Faith and desire
Go hand in hand
For everyone believes
In what they want
Understand?

Tale of Two Worlds

Escape the laws
Run for fun
Proceed to find love in someone
Then spread it
To everyone.
I bless you.
I bless me
I bless holiness
As far as the eyes
Can see.
Then,
Past all the allegiances
Connected to me.
It’s inside me.
It’s in we.
The vastness
Love’s tranquility
Find it here
Find it now
A feeling that’s 
Not so loud.
A state of being allowed.
A state to confound
Existence
Of what is
A hallowed sound.
Love is the heart
Of God
And of us.
Love cannot judge.
As it is one
In itself.
I had a dream
Of something more.
Then it seems
I could release
The grip
The shadowland.
Watch it slip.
Into all hearts
As the light heals
What has fallen sick
By the night
Attempting 
To ad lib.
I had the power
To heal hate.
The teaching 
That forsakes
The ability to free love
And cast it out
Into every altar
That’s been damned
To falter.
The ringing of a bell
Bring love down
Into hell.
Up past the sky
Seeing it 
In every child’s eye.
Hearing it speak
From every mind.
Inside the constitution
Of this graceful solution
This is my absolution
Why would this
Not be so?
The ability to allow
Love to flow.
Was the dream real 
And is it this
That needs to be healed?

The Great Escape

The intrinsic jump 
The need to repair 
My ability to see 
It everywhere. 
The battle ground is set. 
Is the mind healed yet? 
It doesn’t come 
From some threat. 
The mind looking 
To place its bet. 
The potential seen 
By the odds of regret. 
The Golden Rule 
Looking 
Searching 
For its fool. 
The temptation 
Is always great. 
This triangle 
Of hate. 
The dance  
Of transcendence 
The communication of fate. 
Then comes 
The understanding 
Risen out of  
What’s demanding 
That is never too late. 
Heal your perception 
By knowing  
Love’s rejection. 
This is the  
Tale of two forces 
Where love  
Double crosses. 
Codependency dancing 
With the Golden Rule’s 
Tendencies. 
To fix 
the perception 
That tricks. 
When you spot it 
You got it. 
How do you  
Hide it? 
It’s a game 
Of tag 
While I watch myself brag 
While I’m looking 
At a reflection 
Of something haunting 
That nags. 
The attempt to control 
The suggestion to be. 
Where is my ability 
To see me? 
Guide me? 
Sit beside me? 
Speak to me? 
Can I be a tree? 
While I’m hugging 
An illusion? 
While it bleeds? 
Infecting me 
with a thinking 
Not so free. 
Do unto others 
As I want them 
To do unto me 
I begin to suffocate. 
The tightness in my chest 
The restricting of my breath. 
Bring the mind 
And the Will follows. 
Lead by example 
Not by a nagging ramble. 
Speak your truth 
And find your spine. 
So you can  
heal that mind. 
It’s not the message 
From the blind. 
Give it away 
To keep it 
Having it 
By the way  
You seek it. 
Bring the mind 
And the world 
Will follow.

The Battleground

The inspiration for this song was “new york city”. Grahame started playing some chords and I started singing, and this is what we created. It gives me a nostalgic, melancholy, but hopeful vibe.

Lyrics:

I left my home
don’t know where i’ll go
and then i ran 
to the city

but the rain is falling
and everything looks the same 
i ran away
hoping it all would change

oh i left it all
and i was ready to fall 
here 
in the city
new york city

i left my home 
when on my own on a journey
i’m far away
and still i say

i don’t belong here 
i still feel lost here
i’m searching for the place 
i’ll call home 

but i find 
every day
that my mind 
will not stay here
in this moment 
always running 
i’d find my way back home
in the city
new york city

i left my home 
where i’ll go i don’t know  
but i know i can’t stay here
anymore, anymore
i’ll walk out that door
and i’ll find the place called home

what is it like?
i want to find
i’ll know it when i see it
in my mind 
oh in the city
new york city 

what am i to do 
when i get close to you
and i see flashing lights 
in the corner of my mind 

what am i to do
when i get close to you
and see those flashing lights
in the darkness of the night 

i’ll leave the city
far behind
and i’ll run away 
one last time
til i find my home 
til i find my home

city (freestyle with grahame)

I am a protagonist
Of the light
Of the world. 
The light in me
Is what the universe
Longs to behold.
Behold the message
Of something
That cannot
Be sold.
What I see
Is what and who 
I choose to be.
Living off
The hit
Of my empathy.
Do I care?
Am I capable
Of being aware?
How I act
And what I do
Is the result
Of connecting
With you
As Karma is freeing
The way I walk with you.
My actions
Have a reaction
Of a systematic soul
Waiting for the moment
Of a mind to behold
The will and faith
Of the heart’s goals.
The protagonist knows
The way as our karmic
Relationships
Begin and say,
“stick and stay
Give it away
To keep it
And don’t forget
To pray.”
Your kindness 
Is the way
Our gentleness becomes
Eternal power
Of a spirit in communion
With our blood.
I want to know 
What love is
I want to feel 
Intimacy from
Karmic grace.
Heal the mind
And save the world.

The Protagonist
