One soul to awaken
Two souls to make love
Three souls officiate a family
Five elements to keep in balance
Eight gateways to filter through
Thirteen to make it true
Twenty-one to set in stone
Thirty-four to seven the circuitry in I AM the will atones

Resilience and fluidity
Dynamics and opportunity
Creations deal with scrutiny
Be it a pattern institutionally
It seems as though I’ve crossed my eyes
I’m seeing double in the rise
An overlapping look back, a recap
Into the process of reaction
Taking and making this enlightenment be deliberate action
Thought before movement
Yet the hand strikes before the words come to mind
Death before entombment
Yet the execution happens once I’m buried alive
Bombastic exoneration for an innocent man
Glory given entitlement in the palm of the next hand
Dysfunctional psychology followed because it sounded just right
Tainted cosmology because the stars are out of sight
Bless androgyny while you say there aren’t enough wars to fight
Put it all in a blender
Dao of the contender
Going on a ******
Fix the resolution while the answer is rendered
Corner the pretender
Return to sender
Don’t miss the splendor
Got a different diet so I have to change the vendor

Sitting in silence
No light inside the room
but your shine cracks through the door as I view my soul in clarity as I listen to you whole
unfold the mysteries of your oceanic heart
as the cosmos parts in the sky
the gold of your truth brings warmth to the cold and dark
wisdom comes within solitude from the rest of the earth
with only you to talk to
with only you to bind my spirit to
I can hear your whisper
I see your stairway
I will climb and climb to the peak
and at zenith your eyes shall look upon me
as your determined child
to not fade as the flower of flesh
but to rise as the vessel of your breath

Oh you know how life can start out rough
but it doesn't make the mark of a man
It's how he pushes through when everything gets tough
and in the end he knows who he is

I met a man about a quarter century ago
who showed me the best example of this
his voice was made of thunder exciting my nerves and bone
learning how he knew how to live

Until they call you home
you don't have to know
but when they call you home
you've got to say "I'm just me"
when they call you home
you have to know
because I know
yes I know

He showed how a man can learn to make progress
As soon he can understand
Life is not always about the common sense
Timing is part of God's plan

There isn't much that you can do about it
and nothing fast enough to try to stop it
my lesson learned in life is that this is not the end
So I'll see you on the other side my friend

Until they call you home
you won't have to know
and when they call you home
you have to say "I am free"
and when they call you home
you have to know
because I know
yes I know

That you're finally free
