" Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.... I will meet you there.”
Rumi
.......................................................................................................................
I am feeling good about myself, as I face another day
everything is just about right, in my amazing technicolor world
as I swing down the street, past the eye catching, blue hydrangeas
hosts of golden hosta, visually decorating my path
my stride is purposeful, as I walk in a natural and unhurried rhythm
breathing in the fresh oxygen, from the overhanging sycamores
I spy a tabby cat, arching its shoulders with marvellous precision
teaching me that suppleness and litheness, keeps the engine well oiled
and that effortless grace, carries me from one dimension to another
while the vibes and chords of love, strike a melodious and harmonious note
for I know from within myself, I will always adore you
as you are the one, that holds the key to my heart
because the hustle of life, can often blur all our perceptions
so keep it straight and simple, if you get my drift
and want to make that special connection with me
I am a common man of the people, with an uncommon disposition
my name always goes before me, while my spirit confronts the world
I'll never need anything from you, for I've got all I need inside
and sticks and stones, will never break my bones
for its all just water, under the bridge with me
and I learned all my tricks, in the school of hard knocks
where the master teaches the ego must be conquered
to be able to take up permanent residence
with that entity called infinite intelligence
