I
I hear some things I may have said
Come from another head
And say some things I may have heard
Come by another word
To me to be a symbol of
Our sharing here as we
Mind to mind and through life to love
Find our reality
To be us as we see us we
Who are just who must be
As we abide as we remain
As we have come this far
As we are who need not explain
Who are just as we are
II
I like to be awake when others sleep
I like to keep my distance as I keep
Insisting on being me in my way
A dog among dogs and this is my day
I like to wonder about everything
And to take a hand in its unfolding
I like to understand the song I sing
And what I take from it is what I bring
I like to be alone but to be known
And I believe in the signs I am shown
The omens of my happiness I see
But most of all I like that you like me
III
Being here and now because this is what is
Nothing was ever anything like this
Everything being something like a kiss
Seeing clearly how here and now are never
There then but wherever and whenever
At one with the many being anywhere
Seeing I am one now with everyone
Under the stars seeing how the world is ours
Wondering under the moon and the sun
Freeing me by seeing I am being where
And when I am here now then I am there
One with each and every being everywhere
Being my being never hers nor his
Seeing who I am through being who is
Here now wherever whenever as ever
Not to miss whatever for forever
Never will be if it ever was but now
But if I live forever this is how
