Shadows must and will obey
my thoughts to sink and prayers stray,
for soon they’ll stay.
They rest upon my heavy head
they lie with me upon my bed,
for soul’s decay.
Shadows must and will confuse
this love i know i’ll never loose,
and never say,
that all is bright behind these eyes
that mind is free and all these lies
are far away.
Confuse and use they must, they must
through power, greed, and lies and lust
until i’m lost.
Before they go and try their best
i’m gonna steal a little rest
from love’s old nest.
They’ll come again, this much i know,
so i put on a great big show
that I have learned long time ago.
But now my soul, she has her voice
and given any other choice
i trust the one
that shows rejoice.
She speaks and shadows dissapear
she shows the way which comes so clear.
I know the voice i hold so dear
it speaks of love, the moment  “now”
it whispers to me when and how
i can be free, and to allow
my spirit to retain the vow
it took before this life’s refinement
that some life I’ll reach enlightement
be out of body’s false confinement
And into Tao.
"Hey you, you know me
set me free /
Hey you ,
you stay away from me!"

Thoughts are falling in this void
Mind is finding pain, defeat,
Past is sounding oh, so sweet
Everything just looks destroyed.

But feel it wise, please look inside
It's tenderness that you will find
It's part of you, how much you gave
It takes a lot to be this brave.

Before you come to a conclusion
About this taste of an illusion,
Think hard and try to feel it too,
T'was part of me, and part of you,
And it was real, it's how we grew.

Forget not how to bear a smile,
If only for a little while
Bring out all that you have in you,
Just bring it out because it's true.

And then you'll see what inside lays
The love, the care, your highest self
The tender light that holds itself
To speak to you about this phase.
We all must learn to walk this maze.

You arent't wrong, you're not condemned
Like most of us you are just broken,
Words and feelings left unspoken
Haunt your hope. It's not the end.
Once more, it's true, you will ascend.

You're not less now, but even more,
There is no need for punishment
Your true self is innocent
Your wings are folded, but they'll soar.
You'll learn a new way to adore.
You'll reach for peace and trust, once more.




"Only the ladder is real."
