Standing out in front
Caring not of what lies behind
Is like taking a dagger
By the blade
Pushing it in to the hilt
Inside somehow
Releasing hot embers every now
And again.
Don’t go deep into the need for religion
Don’t ride the roller coaster of submission
Keep the head high
Shoulders straight back
Because you have to try
And have it melted down
Before it captures you
Turns you into a religious clown.
Don’t turn on the taps of gushing Christianity
Keep the faith
Purify the understanding of spirit
By living – breathing – loving.
Sanctifty ye not the eternal flame
Don’t cast the love into useless blame
Render the lost path of Christian fame
An obsolete and reckless game.
For spirit is no picnic – ‘tis no game
But we’re all the same
You are there to shake the tree of life
Give the cross to the devil.
Who invented that?
Make all false words
Reach into the gloom
Make your heart skip to the moon.
For in the skipping
You are really living
For living is the way
Of the eternal spirit.
Take it and ram it down the ideals
Of false saints, render the hapless
Cosy minded souls an icy blast
Remind them love costs the universe an eternity.
Live it love is the second nature
That resides in all of us for sure
Give it as you walk side by side
With the one we k now as Jesus.
Make it as he will give you his hands
With the love that spans this world
Explore it you become a medium
Not enslaved to continuous oblivion.
Wonder at it as your life will enter
The final phase in colour in love
An eternity dancing its last
When the music was nearly over.
The scented shelf fell into a golden levee
Strong enough to melt the mind
We pranced our hearts out really
We asked for more than a drink.
“I’m pretty, but sordid, I think.”
But all the words merged in an endless dream
Our lives became a constant swim between
Reality – make believe – reality again.
Please let me see the sun again
Let the words blow away
Gazing at the ravine bottom
He jumped into a certain space.
