took a slow train to the heart
a hobo in all but name

took a slow train to the heart
the final destination.

took a slow train to the heart
homeless looking for home

took a slow train to the heart
waving all goodbye.

Can't you see that I am you
Can't you see that you are me
The life blood that flows through your veins
A mother gives unselfishly

Can't you see the hurt you keep
Can't you see the desperate need
Is found inside the letting go
The only way that you'll be free

Can't you see the times we had
Can't you see how it all went bad
With rumors and innuendos
Dancing inside your head

Can't you see things aren't the same
Can't you see you're part to blame
Life's problems are not always one sided
In the chaos they create

Can't you feel the longing ache
Can't you see how tears are made
Can't you forgive mine and your mistakes
When you gaze into your sweet child's face

Because I am you and you are me
A mother's love goes that deep
Can't you see what I mean
I mean can't you see

==========================
You are the force on the true hopes of wings
Kings may make gods but meaner creatures kings

Path only possible if we fly to meet true joy in essence
To know the glorious Truth What awaits us in presence

See your sky is vast and Paradise on Earth is not the last
I knew that Youth's bitterness passes in the wintry blast

We knew stages of cloth needs different yarn and thread
Final outcomes so pretty, Leaving impurity to make sacred

Now, you trust the magic of love, dance drama is not tragic
Lame and bad times with those are passed, Life is emphatic

===============================================
With so great ease, You wake me up
To fill my inner and outer empty space
All rooms, kitchen, pots, plate and cup
with kind shining face and special grace

As a baby, mind loves sacred fire
As father's heart with proud desire
As the world glimmers on her neck
As armed beauty of wisdom check

You have Never been a stranger
Living within me ecstatic manager
Myself always found divine nectar
Hunger delights under your shelter

I Listen to your godly jubilant voice
Clouds hide the moon a nature choice
In the lake of soul, stars shine reflect
Trust Light, The sky is without defect

==================================
I am a smiling light
Of your heated Wings of Fire
And my fire of heart extinguished
Reaching at cold end of my desired ice
Looking now at the crimson sun set
Enjoying cold breeze waiting for morning sun rise

Simply physical presence
Identify the spiritual essence
Touching the petals of opening Lotus
We both know bathing joy in the morning dews

And the bitter truth of dry river needing water
Praying for some flood in the desert
Where beautiful red yellow pink cactus flowers bloom
To delight the oasis for thirsty lives
Where camels run in joy to get sandy showers

Life seems so uncertain
my love a distant dream
nothing feels quite solid
or as real as it should seem

I want to be depressed
to hide from hurt and pain
but when beneath a storm
one cannot avoid the rain
and every lesson good an bad
is never taught in vain

I just keep on going
I pray for sunny skies
instead of all these clouds
around,
who hide it
in disguise

I will just be patient
hopeful
and wait upon a sign
for my sweet love to come to me
for our two stars - align

I wait beneath a summer sky
under a beautiful new moon
for true love to find me finally,
to play me a sweet tune

as I
am listening
most intendedly for the music
