| One hundred purple lotus in the lake
|
| In the middle where it’s still
|
| One hundred purple lotus on a mirror
|
| Where it’s dark and deep
|
| Accessible only to bees and hummingbirds
|
| They don’t see their beauty, they only see the food
|
| I wish I was a leaf that could float over the surface
|
| Instead of a person who would sink down among the roots
|
| And snakes and seamonsters who bump against my legs
|
| Suitcase full of candles, hat stuffed with prayers
|
| The candles drop out one by one
|
| They fall and roll across the floor
|
| White and perfect, unlit souls
|
| And the prayers escape into the air, dark vapors in the night
|
| Am I asleep or am I awake?
|
| Do I like pie or do I like cake?
|
| Am I here or am I there?
|
| In my bed or in my chair?
|
| Who knows what, if what is there?
|
| Standing in a sandbox, kicking over castles
|
| Didn’t anyone ever tell you?
|
| If you stand deep enough in a hole during the day
|
| You can see the stars
|
| Megawatts, electric sparks
|
| Crackling deep into the dark
|
| Reaching fingers seeking out
|
| On the ground our small white hearts
|
| Pulling together our positives and negatives
|
| In the thunder and the storms
|
| We’ll feel together and alone
|
| Our tiny feelings sprouting beside us, encircling us
|
| Illuminated in the flashes of the sky
|
| They grow a little each time we see them
|
| Small buds and tender shoots in a garden fed by lightning
|
| We’ll sit together breathing in the earth and sky while
|
| Trees tower over our heads, blowing madly north to south
|
| We’ll be together and alone
|
| Blue heaven high heaven dear heaven real heaven all heaven
|
| My heaven yes heaven seventh heaven ripe heaven
|
| Smile heaven sleep heaven deep heaven clear heaven
|
| Any heaven more heaven floating heaven warm heaven
|
| Soft heaven home heaven new heaven yummy heaven
|
| Free heaven live heaven silent heaven holy heaven
|
| Simply heaven sweet heaven fluffy heaven this heaven
|
| Happy heaven wide heaven endless heaven our heaven
|
| Be heaven fine heaven light heaven white heaven bright heaven
|
| Praise heaven tender heaven still heaven one heaven
|
| Forever heaven how heaven now heaven
|
| Heaven is now heaven on earth |
