Limitations Gone
limitations gone
since my mind fixed on the moon
clarity and serenity
make something for which
there's no end in sight

Meditation
When the mind is quiet and in glee,
And of scattered thoughts it is free,
Meditation can be undertaken,
And all sundry thoughts forsaken.
Meditation is an unbroken attention,
In a particular physical position,
And flow of fixed concentration,
With contemplation to a state of intuition.
Meditation brings the mind to clarity,
Whereby therein springs serenity,
All activity is reduced in meditation,
And the mind gravitates to illumination.
Meditation is a virtuous way of life,
Whereby there is control over life,
It entails regulation of the mind,
Negating all wary thoughts that bind.
With meditation, the mind is calm,
Deep peace courses, which is a balm,
Awareness of breath control induces relaxation,
Realizing our unity with Cosmos brings realization.

Solace And Serenity
swimming around
two fish in a barrel
no one there to pull me out
they leave me to die
how could they know
whoever could know me
tied to your tales of woe
my tale to your stone
two angels hanging out upon the ceiling
watching all the stories we must tell
of solace and serenity
solace and serenity
a silence so sad
the water drains out
the oxygen is killing me
and all things i ever loved
lost a drop at a time
the lazy days drown
drift into a perfect sleep
baking in that mean old sun
i wish i could dance
to solace and serenity
solace and serenity
a silence so sad
solace and serenity
i just wanna dance
this might make you laugh
i don't mean to amuse you
but i just have a simple view
of where it went wrong
solace and serenity
solace and serenity
i just wanna dance

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

In love I'll run too you
When an angel sings
A devil will cry I'm lonely
Without you, without you
You're the crucifix
The nail in hand
That set me free
The blind mans cane
That helps me to see
The love in me, the love in me, the love in me
Oh I want to touch your heart and soul
To feel a love divine
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
(Chorus) In love I'll run too you
In love I'll be with you
In love, in love, in love…
And he said when you've kissed
The moon, the sun and stars
And yearned a thousand…
More times to be in my arms
I'll run, I'll run, I'll run too you...
And she said; Oh sweet serenity
Love and chemistry
Oh sweet serenity isn't it heavenly
Loving you, loving you, loving you…

Serenity..............
Serenity.......
When the serenity of the mind
and the purity of the heart work together,
nothing
can stand against their immediate success.

Do you want happiness?
Then ask your mind to love sincerity.
Do you want happiness?
Then ask your mind to love simplicity.
Do you want happiness?
Then ask your mind to love serenity.
Do you want happiness?
Then ask your mind to love purity.

That's What A Growing Does
Long before I met you,
I was introduced to myself first.
And that meeting took awhile,
Before I felt a clarity.
With a clarity noticed I wanted to know.
And to let go of that which I did not need.
Now with clarity and identity intact,
I can understand...
Why today you say I've changed.
I have learned that's what a growing does.
And I hope that growth continues to show.
With a letting go of that which my mind does not feed.

Clarity Achieved Is Refreshing!
You deal with the semantics,
Of language use.
Deal with the perfection of corrected,
Presentation.
With ideals of that pursued.
Deal with the acceptance between,
That which is offensive...
And what is in good taste.
As I live my life not fearing to make mistakes.
Since I have not agreed to any contract,
That places my movements and choices made...
Above anyone who chooses to be analytical.
And a setting done on a determined right track.
Although those perceptions change on a daily basis.
I refuse to become subdued by limitations,
Regardless of who believes I should...
To please a confused conformity.
Lostt in ever thickening deep woods.
All trees does not one forest make!
And I do not assume what i see is a forest.
If I have yet to experience it!
I am here to journey on a path,
I have never experience before!
And I will do just that,
As long as this gift of life I have lasts.
Is there anything else you perceive,
Needs from me...
A clarification?
If not...
I will not be wasting time,
Trying to define my life for anyone.
Or make attempts to re-route my steps,
For anyone who has not blessed me...
With the breath God has granted me to breathe.
Have I achieved for 'you' any clarity?
Believe me...
Clarity achieved is refreshing!

Moon, We Look to You.
Moon, you have a shade of blue tonight –
Is it something that you saw or heard?
Only yesterday, your tone was proud and bright,
Yellow silver, full, and so assured.
Moon, despite the clarity of sky,
Metaphors of cloud that fluff with grey
Drift across your rounded face to spy;
Feeding back, there's awfully much to say.
Moon, you have a role to play up there –
We below must bear the earthly pain.
Duty bound, we shoulder sorrows fair –
You are free from our grotesque disdain.
Moon, we depend on you to shine
When the sun retires down below.
Add to that your grandest role divine:
Tidal Lord, to keep the seas in tow!
Moon, I hope you take to heart our plea –
Needless is the reason for your blue.
Beaming, you should give the night its glee:
We're despairing – so we look to you.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Grandmama
She sits and rocks contentedly.
She’s grateful for the evening breeze
which is perfumed by lilac trees
and cools the air considerably.
A picture of serenity
a comforter across her knees.
As she recalls fond memories
from long ago with clarity.
What day it is she does not know
her short term memory is gone
She sits and rocks quite happily
and watches as the sun sinks low.
She understands when day is done
but little else apparently.
She’s cared for by her family.
Who make sure she is comfortable
She is no longer capable
of living independently..
No longer as she used to be.
A sight that makes them sad to see
as she regresses mentally.
Though they are glad she does not know.
Appears to suffer no distress
quite happy in her mindlessness.
They think perhaps its better so.

Rocketship
Fly to the moon
Well take my rocketship
Its outta sight
Oh so outta sight
Leave your head
Check into this time
Check your mind
Let you sparkle shine
Pass the sun
Say goodybe to everyone
Well fall in love
As we pass the sun
Hang from a star
Forget just who we are
Its outta sight
Oh so outta sight
From the moon
To the stars
To the sun
Baby Im in love

You're On Your Own
Well try and make up your mind
Well try to make up your mind
Well try to make up your mind
Well try to make up your mind, yeah
Now you're on you're own, yeah yeah baby
Now you're on you're own, yeah
There's a new moon rising on the other side
The other side of you
Talk to yourself and someone else
What you tryin' to do
You maybe will, you maybe won't
It's all for you to say
You say you do, and then you don't
It's only you in the way, yeah yeah yeah
Baby, now you're on you're own, yeah yeah yeah baby
Hey, now you're on you're own, yeah
When the light is gone that left your eyes
I haven't spoke too soon
And now we know your pretty words
Is just another tune
You spoke your mind, you've been quite kind
It's all according to you
Well go inside, keep your pride
I can't get through to you, no no
Now you're on you're own
Now you're on you're own
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind
Well try and make up your mind

Whenever I Have a Need to Know
It's foolish for you to assume
That I can not feel you.
It is also foolish to believe,
We are within boundaries
The mind receives for limitations
To be perceived.
I have no wishes to project
That kind of adventure on my thoughts.
I'm sending and receiving waves of conditions,
Like a charged up proton to put sizzle in your neutron.
Accepted and part of our atmosphere.
Remember that thought about us you tossed away?
Well...
I caught it.
You may be on awareness lockdown...
And in need of clarity.
Here it comes!
I don't have to be around...
To be 'around'!
The Almighty provides me with plenty of assistance.
Whenever I have a need to know.
My Master and I have got it like that!

one's fixed finally
like a fly
on that sticky paper
unable to remove
its legs from
those limitations
the wings are useless
the winds are of no help
the wings of the the mind
cannot uplift
where the body is stuck
with the connivance
of the pelvis
and the hands
dichotomy...
that gap between the
flesh and spirit
must be dovetailed
by a prayer of mercy
the faith that makes
us sleep
when the eyes are
too weary

Save That Look For Someone Else
I want to make one thing perfectly clear!
'Okay.
And...
What is that? '
Oh no.
You are not going to try to trick me.
I know what you're up to.
You want me to provide clarity,
BEFORE your questions are asked.
Don't you?
'But,
I didn't ask you for clarity.
You volunteered.'
I see.
So now you want to take advantage of my honesty.
You think I'm stupid?
I am not volunteering anything,
Until I know what it is I am volunteering for.
And save that look for someone else.
No question?
No clarity.
And that's it!
'I am not going to suggest you have issues.'
Is that a question?
It didn't sound like one.

Garden Of Serenity
Come on take my hand
Come on little stranger
The spirits are angry
Stay away from danger
This is insanity
This could be the end
This is insanity
Farewell my friend
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity
Meet me in the graveyard
We'll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey
Riding in my head
I'm not your enemy

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way.

Love At First Sight
See the lovers all gone crazy
Looking for romance it seems
Many sleepless nights will follow
Some may lose but some succeed
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Make a play of lust intention
Only just one thing in mind
Make a slip could be forever
Wedding bells, the shotgun kind
Love at first sight
What they want is...
Love at first sight
Mouse takes the bait
So soon as he leaves his seat
Theres no escape, very soon their eyes will meet
Love at first sight etc.
Take your partner to surrender
Then your misdemeanours done
Sacrifice of maidenhood
But little boys must have their fun
Love at first sight.
