“Where is it I must go?”, I ask my mirror’s reflection Is there truly something missing, Or do I miss imperfection? I’ve yet to wander far enough To dull my soul’s reverberations My body, a holy temple fueled by resounding purpose GONGG…..GONGG…..GONGG….. Do I truly know my calling, Or is my longing just a comfort? If I am grateful for my life, Should I worry time is too short To spend any of my days Without some type of progress to report? I worry I am drifting asleep. I need to wake up before it’s too late GONGG…..GONGG….. What if I gave it up? I fear it might end really bad Would the universe reject me And crumble everything I had, Make sure that I was forced To fulfill some sort of soul contract? If I knew which one was my opponent, I could be prepared to fight GONGG….. I wonder, will I ever make it? Is there even an “it” to make? If there is something I desire, Then is it something I will create? Do I focus on my blessings Or on a treasure that might be fake? I ask for a sign that I am doing the right thing …..

Silence. The Seventh Gong
MySelf to pieces split and cleaved, o'er the grave he stood bereaved. When salvation seemed so close at hand, he saw confusion in the plan; Two halves of One he must retrieve. The Seven Lights he sought to find, suspended east-ward in the sky. When once or twice he, free of fear spied his heart out chasing deer; he knelt - trembling before the lie. Breathing slowed - the flowing saddle in which he rode, abreast Death's rattle. The numbers upward, did he climb from six to seven, eight to nine; symbols of a timeless battle. In purgatory now I wait for Flame of Hell or Heaven's Gate. Strange personalities within vibrations, a Cosmic Gong to heal Death's Station; I stand my ground - I forge my fate. Wherefore art thou Chariot I ride, that which I've been given, hidden by the sky? A Sphere of Mirrors w/ no sides, into my tear of fire doth collide; A temperamental Horse I ride.

A Moody Horse
You pound on my spine And it echoes through to my head Like I am a gong And you are the man with the baton When you arrive I feel alive Because you bring the smell of thyme Which evokes a positive state of mind Though you never show up on time It is your scent

Sonorous
*A silent gong Of all things wrong Echo's through my empty eyes Pushing out pain filled cries The silent only defeating me From all hope of me to be*

The Gong
My breathing slows my mind is stilled my spirit rises Falun Gong The evening weeps in empathy an evil steals echoes of souls As One we join our sanctity in supplication to Divine As more among us simply vanish Disappeared without a trace

Echoes of Souls - Falun Gong
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
