blank pages
skipped over
flipped over
passed by

when i write
it's in a 3-ring notebook
just takin' a look
at what life's shook
off that tree
the pome that be me

somehow
i passed 'em by
don't know why
wouldn't even know how to try
ta' figger out
where they went
'cept the pages were bent

went from there ta' here
don't know maybe it was fear
or maybe i was just changin' gear
maybe then i shed a tear

maybe i lost a thought
but i 'ought not
pass those pages by
maybe the blanks
will tell me why

who i am
who i be
who i see
help me fill in the blanks
say the thanks
for where i am
where i be
maybe the blanks
will help me see
me

blank pages
phases & stages
in an old notebook
took
me time
ta' take another look

at the empty lines
the passin' a time'

just blank pages
just stages & phases
of my written'
of my wrongin'
of my songin'
of my belongingin'

pages past
some never last
some do some don't
some will some won't

blank pages
in a 3-ring book
sometimes
make ya' take a look
at who you are
where ya;' been
where you're goin
& THEN
& then agin'

BLANK PAGES
LET YOU BEGIN AGIN'

so as your pages in Life
pass by
don't ask why

just write the wrote
play the sound
know the note
when it comes around


Blank Pages
mean
you get to begin' agin'
or
they mean
it's THE End

be your choice
be your voice

toss the coin
heads
or tails
never fails
to bring ya's
one or' the other

oh brother
it's them blanks
you cuss or bless

don't matter much

you lose you win
then you begin again

wiht blank pages
old wages
sages
stages
in time

oh hell
just this old man
PASSIN TIME
WITH SOmE RYTHMN\WITH SOME RHYME

JUST AN OLD MAN
FILL THE PAGES
THE BLANKS
IN MY LIFE
FEELIN' THE STRIFE
CUT'S LIKE A KNIFE

BUT THe BLADE SHARP
CUT'S TRUE
know the BLUE?

HEY PEOPLE DO WHAT YA' DO

FILL THOSE PAGES AS YOU PLEASE
JUST DO ME A FAVOR
DON'T CALL ME

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.

Enlightenment Dialogues: A Journey of Post-metaphysical Onliness Awake by Martin Treon

This combined narrative dialogue and play is about the uncreated, unborn and undying transcendent Self of God-consciousness and Buddha-nature. It describes an odyssey of transcendent Consciousness Awakening and Remembrance.
