Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Worldly pleasures of desires so deep

Attached to those things that the heart does not keep

A darkened world that is stuck like the mud in the pond

Illusions to tempt to excite not to make calm

But something is not with that world within

It has been awakened always to be born again

It sleeps away from that darkness it does not see

It is not of any shadow for it is truly free

When the sun comes up in the daylight

It knows when a path is made, leaving the night

Protected by love, petals look like hands folded to a prayer

Through cool murky waters, awakened to be here from there

Now it has surfaced and it shows its beauty to the world

Petals open up, received the love as it unfurls

It sees itself always as it is in a consciousness that trusts

Coming here over and over, enlightened where it is,

For it is the beauty of the awakened lotus

Nothing lets go of all*

Nothing lets go of all*

Ignorance attaches to so many things

It comes in attraction that this does bring

It sees its victim as temptation begins

The more you hold on, it starts over and over again

An anchor that you just do not see

How is one liberated from this and let it be?

But not to seek such things and pay attention in the surround

You can see this in plain sight, it is all around

It is not of material as this is perceived

For its substance carries all, emptiness to believe

It knows of all that grows from their seed

It is nothing that knows it has everything it does not need

Ithaka, the home within you traveled upon*

Ithaka, the home within you traveled upon*

Once, you were very young and was sent into a place

You came across many things and seen many a face

You know that this journey is destined to be a long one

But that will do you good, you will see when it is done

Traversing these roads in search of who you are

And yes the journey gets longer, so very very far

That is OK for you have patience in where you stand

No need to seek the next moment, it has you at hand

Every part that you have gained in experience you went through

Keeping a fresh look, always having you to be in its view

Moving much further, more experience that you will see

For the Spirit that you take along is so happy and carefree

But now you know why you were chosen in what this all about

To be shown a lesson, to trust who you are without doubt

As all has passed and it is penniless you arrive

Those experiences on the outside are gone but still your alive

This was not how one holds on and attaches with its gains

No, this was how one lets go in all the experiences that came

Knowing of this, it was your Soul* that was on this journey that was long

You have now found Ithaka, your heart that you now belong

The anchor "waves" bye*

The anchor "waves" bye* 

My heart deep within seems so far away

It use to be of love and never felt gray

But something happened along this road

For the heart is burdened with a heavy load

I cannot break away from this for it hurts so

It was in my companionship with my lover that I know

But of all things in life that come along

To believe that in your heart they belong

No longer can this be as it goes with reason

That there is a meaning in the change of all seasons

So I sit here and ponder and go within to reflect

That I know my heart will heal and see that my Soul* will connect

It feels at times that love is like attachment to be

But when you look at it it is meant to be free

Then I must move on, as this is what is to know

And no longer to see this as the past, I will let go

It starts where it finishes*

It starts where it finishes*

I guess life has balance in it

It comes in and goes out to make it fit

Seems love is also the same way

No bonds or attachments to make it stay

So I stand here with some hurt in my heart

But with such balance, another comes along right from the start

My heart lets go*

My heart lets go*

I have traversed down many streets

Some folks came along on the path to greet

But my realization was to learn and be taught

Not to attach so closely that my heart gets caught

As now I know the secret in balance and where it begins

That like how things come on this path, to let go once again

What gives when it is Love*

What gives when it is love*

How much happiness can one possess?

To have a gentle heart, the one to caress

The elated feeling beyond heavens above

To have such joy and happiness, one that is of love

Of balance of no attachment to behold

And see how this truth from within to unfold

Love, the key is to be free*

Love, the key is to be free*


Our situations and feelings in plain view
We both know who we are and know what to do
We may have ties together and come with our bounds
To put it truthful is in our equality, that we have common ground
So in order for both of us to be simple and free
Love in the finest forms has never had no lock or key
