the light that shines
is the love that reminds
we come from each other
around circular lives

the past is amongst us
the future is too.
if we stop ourselves now
what point would that do?

must it be said
that we doubt all that is
we can't undo this
and that is just sad

for never will be
a love more free
than a dreamer who lives
in you and me

If you want it all now
you've lost it already
for the great thing is
we've gotten so petty

we start with everything
a dream that's alive
to link us to stuff
to teach us to strive

but then we think
and we miss the whole point
that it's not what we touch
it's love that is joint

it's not there you say?
of course you are right
but if it's there and you know
then guess what, FIGHT!

Not in a way to bring others down
but in a way to bring love all around
for within us all is the answer
it's just that we only see the cancer

that's the whole story
it's what you believe
it's what's on the outside
and in the tree's leaves

it's on the inside
of the earth and each other
it's there in the wood
and most in your brother

but it's forgotten in most
that what we need most of all
is to believe in our dreams
and not all the gall

it's not that I'm bitter
quite opposite really
it's just that my heart
only sees it quite clearly

what is found though
with inspection of thought
is that the heart in it
.......bleeds......
