I wish I could erase the moments before this
I wish I could be born again
My mind no longer tainted
My bare feet upon the dirt covered wooden floor
As I gaze out into the thick warm jungle
The fog of morning hangs
I would dream perfectly as they
Nightmares would entail
Yellow jungle cat eyes
watching from the shadow
Dreams of a beautiful girl bathing in the river
We are God's do you know this?
We all came from the same river
All of us float in the same pool of algae
Instinct
Some push away while others attract
Until we all become one
The eternal circle
At death the great being Stands
His left foot in a vast green sea
Great and wonderful creatures Swim in it's depths
They seem to sing as they swim
His right foot rests upon a great desert
Pyramids and obelisks rise up from the hot planes
Snakes with scales shining as a rainbow living streams of diamonds
That dance across the dunes
Out of his mouth
flows a great river
Time flows from it
Eternally onward it flows after me
As it has flowed for the eternity before me
The great being speaks to me in a voice like thunder
It's words move my bones
I put my finger into the cool water
I know the place of my consciousness
Among the raging seas Time
I will be born again
At the moment of my death
The leaf-the bird-the cicada
all beings singing the endless song of life
