Tomorrow.
A possibility disguised as a simple guarantee.
There is nothing promised for the future
For the next moment is a mystery
And so we are so focussed
About who it is we want to be
Tomorrow
Instead of who we are
Today.


Seven
Days it took to create such a world
Enigmatic
Yet written step by step in clear pronunciation
Wonders
And so there are so wonderful
However
I have discovered wonders of my own
My own world
I have created
And so to you i say


Create yourself
Fearless of the night
Embrace the silence of the stars
Become one with one
However
Connect your piece of mind
With another
A stranger
Shakes the hand for peace
Becomes a friend
Brings adventure
Enlightens the depths within the soul


Love is but a verb
So use it as a noun
Question it
With caution
For it’s fragile
Keep it safe


Wake up the sun before it wakes you first
Time is of the essence
So they say
And one moment you may realize
That time too must transcend
But the mystery exists
So ignore the realization
Of where and when tomorrow
And live for here and now


Live for you today.




Wise people speak wise words.
Your words are your message.
Here is a message for you.


The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered


"Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die,
and then dies having never really lived."


Live today.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.  - Bob Dylan
To Bob Dylan

the book started with the line
once upon a
girl studied the sun
illuminates the essence of phenomenon
setting so she'd soar
the night wraps the photograph in the arms
of a traveler
hiking heights
to gaze sea level
acquainted in depth
the child awakes from a dream
cursing at the wind
the waters rush the land
Noah calls a woman to his left
the trees sway to
a song
cries the baby born
cries the creator
with a smile
a phantom harmonizes
the edge of the moon
singing of a song
phantasmagoric
lush in enchantment of hymn
nonsense
a wise man sings it of himself
willfully obscure
yet so deeply human
he writes
and the book closes on its own

Outside she began to think...
Slowly consumed with a vivid wonder illuminating the depths within the soul
So came to be the external world-
The multitude of notions
And so it was unique in such a sense as to fear from the very reality of imagination.
Thinking to turn back to the place of where had figured she belonged. So came the path-
Present there before her.
So came the way of the less traveled. So came the road taken by the music maker .
And there she walked,
Acoustically chanted by beauty's own
Mystery.
Enigmatic.
And there she went
Feeling everything but lost.
She wandered.
Knowing nothing but knowing
It all.
For the mind leads her on a journey.
Where will it take her?
Outside we begin to think...

it's incredible,
the moment you feel completely who you are when you're with someone else. They way they make you forget about the rest of the world. Like nothing matters except right now because you've never felt more alive. And you love it because you know now that you're alive. It make take a while to realize it, but the feeling lets you know. and when you have that feeling, be ever so grateful for that moment. It's perfection in an instant and so it will stay with you forever.

think of a place so dark
as to forget the look of light
where love is lacking
buried in the shadows
and so you're cold
as to shiver
from the fear
of a distant escape
tends escaping your very mind
loosing it
in an instant

until...

until a flower grows
the color of life
transparency no longer
hiding in the dark
a savior
for you're saved
by a beauty so natural
yet so powerful
and the earth warms the soul
once again

the moon watched the sun rise every morning
for all he wishes
is for a moment
to be so close to her
as to sense her very self
for as selfless as the moon
the sun shines for them
lighting up a world so selfish
he watches the sun so close
yet so far away
and wonders what shall happen if he moves
among the stars
and into the path of light
a beaming oh so fond of
such a miracle
and so she sees him nearing
and stops to think
that this is it
for love is but a verb
for irresistible
it becomes
between one and another
for the story ends
where love begins
for the moon and sun
one love
forever
