I love when days end
With gentle, graceful fanfare
When the sun bids adieu
With gentle warmth
Before a lingering kiss goodnight
With gentle, graceful fanfare
When the sun bids adieu
With gentle warmth
Before a lingering kiss goodnight

My eye, right back at me
I give my camera to a young monk
Without words, show him the basics
He steps away
Points my eye right back at me
And snaps a perfect moment

He steps away
Points my eye right back at me
And snaps a perfect moment
It occurs to me… Sometimes
The best way to see ourselves
Is to hand our vision to someone else
And let them tell us what they see
Understanding Fame
It is said, in China
“If you stand anywhere
In the Middle Kingdom
And turn 180 degrees
You will surely see
Another human being”

The twisty-turny road
The best roads
The most interesting ones
Are the twisty-turny ones
With a steep incline
Or descent
The most interesting ones
Are the twisty-turny ones
With a steep incline
Or descent
Leaping into disorientation
Sometimes I get confused
Which way’s up
And which way’s down
Which floor am I on?
Which floor should I be on?
Which door should I take?
Should I have come in through that one?
Which way’s up
And which way’s down
Which floor am I on?

Acts of Nature
Some works of art
Are incomplete
Until nature
Has played her part
Are incomplete
Until nature
Has played her part
This insight says as much
About my own life
As about art
Acts of creation, both
Closest to true
Seven towers guide the sun into the morning sky
The didjeridu rumbles under my fingertips
A rumble which extends down into my chest
Thrums under my sternum
My body, electric, vibrates with the energy of life
The didjeridu rumbles under my fingertips
A rumble which extends down into my chest
Thrums under my sternum
My body, electric, vibrates with the energy of life
Aum, it says
Moral Victories
Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Every day a victory
Every day a victory
When before the dawn
When before the dawn
I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace
Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony
