you say, winter is coming
I say, it’s already here
you see I yearn to fight
I see you learned to fear
we both are afflicted
we both are afraid
we both wish to flee
so all delusions we obey
incurable and debilitating
until, a cure IS found
release the attachment
or crash to the ground
you say, winter is here
I say, it’s already passing
you see I yearn to love
yet it’s pain I’m amassing
we both fight affliction
we both shall be set free
we both feel the spark
but just you hold the key
the longer we willingly partake
the stronger our attachment grows
the more we grasp samsara’s pleasures
the more suffering we know
when will we learn
it’s time to go

Uncertain are the times
unknown is the plot
does the shadow ever darken
where time cannot be bought
we hasten t’wards our doom
driven by attachment’s whip
we medicate our gloom
dying in delusions’ grip
I should sleep
but time is fleeting
so when visions creep
I bow in greeting
the storms have come
and the rain it pours
what little I get
leaves me wanting more
I thought I found freedom
but only suffering comes
I long to escape —
but the feeling goes on, and on

Lately I’ve been back in the forest, capturing a fraction of my experiences. Here is glimpse of my visions that demanded to be expressed to the music of CLANN. See the Youtube channel for more.
May your Saturday be filled with love, joy and expression!
In my mind
though light will rise,
first darkness falls
at the faerie court
they see it all
understanding should not
be confused with power
in the deathless state
we fearlessly devour
delusions

what need have I
for touch of yours
when ‘cross my skin
this water pours
absorbed in icy creek
or embraced by steamy tub
I don’t miss your hands
when sultry bubbles rub
breezy leaves float gently down
to lucious forest floor below
to the music of nature, sensuous sound
I meditate and let my wisdom grow

something there
and something not
something cold
and something hot
a fingernail stroked down your back
a moldy sandwich in your pack
enough of this, it’s time to go
it’s all a dream, I thought you’d know
