Surely there is grandeur in knowing that in the realm of thought, at least, you are without a chain; that you have the right to explore all heights and depth; that there are no walls nor fences, nor prohibited places, nor sacred corners in all the vast expanse of thought.

We are moving to places where our hands still touch
What you did was make this yard of cement
Some hard posts and high fences and barbwires
You call it safety; you call it clean to see
There will be no shrubs, no trees, just this
Big house and empty rooms, a garage full
Of cars, some phones and TV walls
We move to other places then since we disagree
We leave this place of cement and fences and walls
We move to the hills where we still have our trees
Our long winding rivers, the rocks and grass
The winds and skies, we move to places where
The birds are not caged, where they sing the sweetest songs
Where we and the rest of us are free
Where on mountaintops and cliffs and drifting clouds
Our hands still touch & shake the Hands of God.

Chain Of Command
How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
How bright is the medical torch
When its put in our hand
My microbes and i
Cant wait to lay down and die
We realise that we must be spent
Like the cells that dissolve when a brainwave is sent
How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command
My bloodgroup and me
A body of soldiers are we
To the wound we quickly flowed
And we fought with the weapons in our
Chemical code
How bright are the fires of thought
In a chain of command

Flame
What shall I write
from the empty, desolate heart,
when every word is being scraped?
You want to clean the mess
of a lifetime,
yet labour brings loneliness
and you inherit
the depth of a problem.
A thought which has no ending.
A constant battle with yourself
in the bleak winter of age.
One by one they have died,
Your invisible gods.
The vast landscape
of knowing the truth
still remains unconquered.
Pursue you must for the sake of moment
a flame which has no heat!

Solitude, in the sense of being often alone, is essential to any depth of meditation or of character and solitude in the presence of natural beauty and grandeur, is the cradle of thought and aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which society could ill do without.

I Will Go
I will ignore, all unreasonable wants...that can only grow,
for upon lifes long River...I do so reasonabley...and gently do row.
So Please do not disturb...my peaceful...life loving flow,
just leave me alone... please...just let me go.
Upon my River... in a small boat that I may row,
to places of my joy....that maybe as yet, I do not even know.
To places of my thought pleasure.... that maybe are not for your so.
Just leave me alone in any place...that I choose to go.
Even if its above your very heights, or even below... Your unsaid... sad low.
just go away....and let me... be free, to go.

Hyperdrive
I never thought there were corners in time
Till I was told to stand in one
One straight line head on into the other
Maybe standing in the corner looks like where its got to come.
But I pretend one wall is the past and one is the future
And I just stand here like the present looking for a
Good place to run
Every fish that swims upstream now thats a catch
Because the full mouth never wants to stop cooking.
The map may be flat, the globe may be patched
But the long line keeps right on hooking
Circles in the ring of fire, where do you go
On a night that is clear and warm?
Oh where do you go?
I never thought there were corners in time
Till I was told to stand in one
Ive heard circles moving right through corners
And they dont even know theyve been around and around before
Ringing, ringing against each other on a singing chain
Like a flying magnet hyperdrive has never seen any reason
To remain the same.
Because I felt it I believe it
Because there are things Ive never seen that I believe
So Im going to place my face right in the triangle door
Till I can move right on through instead of just standing here
Looking at the floor.
And it rains again tonight, I can think light years ahead
Or I could put myself back a thousand years ago
As if Id always been here before or as if I am still to be born
Im a slow loser, but Im a fast learner
That much I know
Anyone can go
That much I know
Anyone can go
That much I know
Anyone can go.

Gotta Feel More
Ive never seen the sea seem so calm.
Ive never felt the breeze slippin thru the trees.
But now Ive got you and its takin so long.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I never felt young til I met you.
Never felt fear til I thought about losin you.
Only a fool would think that its all true.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than Ive ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
Ive seen the world thru an eagles eye.
Ive felt the oceans roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.
I never did believe that mountains could move.
Never did believe that the yankees could lose.
I never thought love could come my way.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I never felt young til I met you.
Never felt fear til I thought about losin you.
Only a fool would think that its all true.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than Ive ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
Ive seen the world thru an eagles eye.
Ive felt the oceans roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.

Confusion As A Gift
there is nothing
wrong with
confusion, in fact, perplexity is
a common occurrence which in some ways
give us the warning that
something wrong may happen
there are walls, these are laws,
there are fences, these are guides
when you break the wall, the thieves come
and take everything from you
when the fences are broken, the pigs come and
eat what you have planted
doubt is a mark of our humanity
confusion is our acceptance that we are but
limited creatures of thought
when you are perplexed
take laughter
think some more
give time its due
savor the peace of logic
let rules be rules
doubt, doubt some more
i am sure, you are alive.

On the immensity of creation
Oh! could I borrow some celestial plume,
This narrow globe should not confine me long
In its contracted sphere---the vast expanse,
Beyond where thought can reach, or eye can glance,
My curious spirit, charm'd should traverse o'er,
New worlds to find, new systems to explore:
When these appear'd, again I'd urge my flight
Till all creation open'd to my sight.
Ah! unavailing wish, absurd and vain,
Fancy return and drop thy wing again;
Could'st thou more swift than light move steady on,
Thy sight as broad, and piercing as the sun,
And Gabriel's years too added to thy own;
Nor Gabriel's sight, nor thought, nor rapid wing,
Can pass the immense domains of th' eternal King;
The greatest seraph in his bright abode
Can't comprehend the labours of a God.
Proud reason fails, and is confounded here;
---Man how contemptible thou dost appear!
What art thou in this scene?---Alas! no more
Than a small atom to the sandy shore,
A drop of water to a boundless sea,
A single moment to eternity.

American Taliban: Death
I am not afraid of death.
death is a thought
formed and left
behind the walls of stillness.
I am not afraid either
from
life -
life is a beautiful game of
conditions,
the game evolves as much as my attitude, -
and some people nerves,
or being sacrificed like a lamb.
it is still a thought
and I have
a choice
to
consider it
or
leave it
bouncing
in the air.
My fear is a thought,
I welcome it,
acknowledge it, and
challenge it
whenever it blinks
or shines.
a warning is
warning
being ready
is always my art of living;
none
has long life
while others has short range destiny.
I won't
live and die
like
an enslaved
lamb
in a a black dark hole,
empty of choices
sheep
behind
fences, an insecure dog, and an ambitious shepherd,
paralyzed
by fear and thinking
like a lame.

Clarity of thought is a shining point in a vast expanse of unrelieved darkness. Genius is not so much a light as it is a constant awareness of the surrounding gloom, and its typical cowardice is to bathe in its own glow and avoid, as much as possible, looking out beyond its boundary. No matter how much genuine strength it may contain, there is also, inevitably, a considerable part that is only the pretense of that strength.

Never Could I Be That Independent
My breath!
Depth of thought with meaning.
And what I choose next,
To think.
That brings an understanding.
Has been commanded by My Father.
And I follow.
Faithfully everyday,
With each step I take.
Has been commanded by My Father.
And I follow.
Sometimes with my head up in the clouds,
I follow.
Sometimes with doubts that come and I allow,
I follow.
Sometimes in the rain to get soaked with regret.
Feeling I have not accomplished enough.
Or that I've done my best.
Sometimes staying awake!
Not to refresh with the dawn...
But remaining upset all day long,
Until the Sun sets.
And yet knowing...
My breath!
Depth of thought with meaning.
And what I choose next,
To think.
That brings an understanding.
Has been commanded by My Father.
And I follow.
As I look for that place,
Inside my heart that takes me...
Away from the fear,
My Father decides...
His guidance someday I believe I wont need.
Although I am strong.
Never could I be that independent,
Or alone...
Without His vision.

Captured thought
Captured thought
~
caught between a thought
between belief and fear
not knowing what to do
or how to feel any-more
like the air is speaking
a mystery is coming soon
something you just know
but are unable to explain
deciding to smile or cry
is it dread or excitement
which calls on faith
speaking this thought
echoed into a sleep
soon it shall be revealed
and you will see
freedom from the thought
which lingers in a dream

Herded
Last rivulet of conversation
writhing on the edge of
wet expanse of acceptance
soon the desert would be herding
mad pack of silences
Kinetics of vast journey
removed from niches of mind
vacuum will suck in all contours of happiness
on this fork of déjà vu
on this roundabout of fate
I stand spent or perhaps ready
For another winding journey
To be herded with arid flock of silences
Inches beyond the vast expanse of acceptance
