All these roads lead somewhere Our dismembered beings will never see it all until we're dead But we can die and make it back alright And if we died, would we even want to come back inside? There's something real out there and it'll always be there and all it takes is to pay perfect attention Chance favors the prepared mind as we can see for ourselves When we traverse this abyss Learn to pay attention Learn to dance with the patterns you perceive The sonic tapestry is a music piece It never stops , and it covers everything Everywhere is always everywhere else Music never stops Listen to it beat you away Is there a difference between me and the music? I am you, after all, this poem is me And yet it is you because I'm not the only one And we'll never be apart until we die, but even then we'll be together, each as nothing So beautiful, so absurd
Feel that breeze blowing your hair? You are its breath It escapes your lungs and you ride around a vibrating Symbol, your thoughts swimming and crystallizing but never blinding Swirling around you in coagulating meaning The grass grows, it is your beard Lying there in the field Can you feel it any different? The grass brought you here to lie down on it The grass inhales you as you light it, And fully grokked, your ghost breathes itself out in rings
Snap the rhythm and it ripples with the cymbal Into love, The path through remains you, it's full of stars and eternal youth The gray dawn on the beach is a constant truth Our dreamtime dreams of being awake
I woke up and thought I could fly How wrong I was Spying over the shoulder of God I told him, "You're a character in my story I am you, I am more. What can you do to me?" And God looks back, knowing that what I say is true For I perceive him and even as he marvels me with illusions he can never erase my mind I don't even capitalize his pronouns
God and his carpenters joined the dancing eternal parade Like the end of an Animal House knockoff Where we send off parts of ourselves to new times and places we've never conceived of Populating the universe Which gets bigger the more detail we observe An optical contradiction For you are the greater resonance of both your Self and your Opposite
