Meaning in it

I made you
Don't hate me
We painted with
Love
The canvass was running
Toward something
Distant
Retreating into
Nothing
But i knew, i knew
There was something

I disappeared 
And saw that law
Twist around me
Like the crown,
Like a horn,
Like the seas rubbing
Shores to new shape.

I'm in the mist, maybe,
i die here
You die there
We all die,
Everywhere
All the time
So me here
Is a distant moment
Dug deep here
Dug from within me
Here
This dirt
These broken
Scentless words

They heap up
And say something
i think
In the end
They say something.

Guiltless Dream

Every man
Has his pain

Life already drove
Mankind out the cave

Out the cranium

Outer space

A million ways
You can take 
To the future

You could go
Your own pace

But every man
Is afraid

It's a jungle
Through time
Even spaces
Where it's paved

So when it comes
To nature

I'ma dance
I'ma sing
I'ma live life
As if it were
A guiltless dream.

Tough Love

1. 
It'll be many moons
Before i learn
To love you.
Sometimes I'm lost;
Sometimes
I know it all.

As i go about
My business
i think about you;
When i dream
i do dream
Of you.

2.
Here we are
Don't let the magic
Confound you;
Trust in love
With all your are
Nit just your heart

Because

To give all
Of yourself
To find
And know well
What you can give

And to have the heart
When all
Either turn their back
Or hit
With all their might:

That's just life
Trying to teach you.

Love has to to be
Tougher than hate.

That's just the family
Trying to make you
Strong enough

For this path
That you're on

So take

Our love with all
You know.
Go be great
But don't forget
That it was love
That made you grow.

Life is a strange situation
When you're questioning
The ways of man;

Thoughts that lead you
To depressions,
Back into the caves
We went.

Isolated, 
A new type to darkness
A bad surprise
To buy time

To give us all
The space and time
To reorganize

Wrong and right
Are relative worlds and words.

We're all so right
And so irrelevant, too,
So don't your cry
If no one 
Wants to hear you

There's a voice inside
And an ear that
Will always listen

It's all in you
When you can't find it
Anywhere else.

It's all in you
When you're drowning
And shouting for help
But no one comes;
It's the hardest lesson
You'll learn

From where love comes
It is given
And it must be earned.

Painting

What comes
From the chamber
Of colors
A child can find
His dream there
In that moment
He can reach anything

Differences

Indian walks
Land and is held
Upon earth
Less by gravity
Than by his
Quantum love which is 
Tangled energetically
Like roots
In a holy place.

What we see is what
We get
He says.

Where i love
You rape.

When I give
You take.

When I wake
Nature embraces me
And gives me 
The sacred fruit
Of life,
I live
At the pace of paradise.

When you wake
The dream ends
And you have made
Shame
Of the truth of life.
You race toward
A better future
With all your might.

You've bent time
Studied the light

But your men fear
To be the light

Nude in it
Fearless in the infinite
Know it is 
In every finite thing
Every moment
And detail of life

Woven by a thread
Of mind and heart
In space
Which limits the infinite
To lines
And terms we can define.

Sewing into time
That crimson river
Of love and sacrifice

That stoic gaze
Eternal peace
In the abyss

Hearing the spirits
Believing in and chasing
Rabbits for the feast

To return with a bounty
So that entire armies
Can eat.

This is warrior you
As it is warrior me

And yet we do 
What we must
So frighteningly differently.

These poles do lead
To lightning and storms:
Tempest of both
Nature and the soul;
That great symmetry
Of a balanced moment
In cosmic time
Governing like a blind
And just goddess --
Child, no doubt,
Of a greater, more perfect being
Manifest all around me
All around you.

Why is it
We perceive, as we do,
So differently?

How to Dream

Make your bed 
In the morning
Quit complaining
You're living
Get going.

Eat your breakfast
You champion

You secret king
You divine shining thing

They don't see you
Not all will

Don't you worry about
Any of that
Which leaves you
Discouraged

Dream, and dream
With courage.

Yes, be humble 
In your mission

But do not
Sacrifice your pride
Nor enslave yourself
To anything
Protect your
Inner child
If nothing else.

Everyone loves you
They just don't know
How to show it

Everyone is teaching you
And lesson 
Molding you
So be true to your light.

It is not all love
And justice
Nor is it just death
And misery.

It is not weakness
To feel pain
There is no shame
In doubting 
Your destiny.

So be brave
Quiet knight,
Lead even your demons
Toward the light

And when you dream
Do it with love
Do it with courage
Do it
In this life.

Lazy Days

Lazy days
I lay until amber 
Seeps through the window
Into my dream
Until slumber
Stumbles to walking
Through green.

Dirt paths
Riddled with horse shit
And cow paddies
And mushrooms
I'm not sure
I should eat.

I leave them be.

The lemon trees
Attract giant bees
Called mamangavas.
Their sting
Will send a grown man
To the hospital.

That amber light melts
Into a fine sugar
White,
Dissolved in the
Molecular air.

I walk, I breathe deeply.
I yearn for bundles 
Of money,
Uncontrollably.

The horse shit and bugs
Distract me from all that.

Beads of sweat
Burn my eyes
As I walk back
Half out of breath.

Lazy days send me
Back to sleep after walks
Like that.
Or I skip coffee 
And paint and talk to myself in other languages.

My stomach rumbles
But I'm too busy
Being lazy
Loving everything
Making moments
Into gold.
