All things must end in time Regardless of who when where or why I am absolved by the setting sun In this absence of light the darkness is All, the shadow is One The Ray of intellect pulls pieces from the vast darkness Attached by fear, chased by longing We run in circles, burying Truth beneath flecks of meaningless illumination Frustation, anger, the illusion of danger. I am a fool. I sit, surrounded by water in a rowboat without oars demanding control or salvation. There is no alternative, no freedom of suffering from pain nor dehydration. My body, my boat, my ocean are destined to fall to dust The wise man knows this and worries not. Just as the sun sets, the rays that illuminate are impermanent All that ever was transitions to all that can never be Beyond suffering, beyond pain Beyond illusory words orchestrated on this page It is held by a fabric that cannot be named It resonates in our being as love It’s the deepest darkness that holds the brightest light. You may heed my words or continue the Material spin It’s up to you where it ends or when you begin But know this truly and deeply my friend, When your travels are over Lessons learned and suffering done We will be made One Destined to recuperate in the womb of the Sun.

The Boat
Love Everlasting Until the last gasping of my life suit United we savor life’s sweet fruit Free our minds from the pains of the winds of change Life is grand and love is strange The water that flows in a universal way Regardless of time and space Unseen intelligence maneuvers the actors on stage Like Melatonin and DMT in a dreaming brain No matter what the situation they all relate Just metaphysical metaphors to the cosmic state.

Love Everlasting
The early deaths Friends full of life, Passion to equal the sun Left before they’re lives had truly begun It was the design of their decisions that did them in Failed to heed the signs and learn any lessons Their fear and hate obscured all blessings They slept the all too familiar dream of life When you don’t play the game you must awaken and get right For this game board has many waiting to roll the dice The winners awake without tombstones and cries They heeded the lessons and ignored the lies What once was a game board turns into a blank canvas This is where the eternal life dances
