Unsolved Mystery

What the hell am I doing with my Life?

Unmasked

Every person you come across has a heart and soul, regardless of appearances.
The weathered man in the wheelchair, slurring his speech
"Eyee taherd ovv bein' unemmployed."
Gems are hidden for a reason.
We search for things we cannot see yet believe exist.
Why can't we find the gems in each other?

Why Not?

Why leave the comfort and safety of home?
Why roam into danger completely alone?

Why go out into the swirling wind and the cold?
Why do the opposite of what you are told?

How long have you been planning on climbing that wall?
Are you not afraid of a fatal fall?

I am very different and not very tall
There is more danger for me in not going at all

Souled Out

Disconnected from our surroundings

Fixated in acquiring lots of things

So much trauma and drama this brings

Spend time in nature until the spirit sings

Life is a majestic waterfall

For all Beings large and small

Even before the moment we are born

Gravity and Being are never torn

Slow down your pace, no need to rush

The rosebud will get its time to blush

Before we know it we grow angel wings

Just in time to perch and make soft landings

Nature is Dead

Gone are the dragonflies
No more chasing butterflies
Eerie silence in the woods
Gang bangers in the 'hoods
No more larvae for the birds
Nature uses all their turds
Can we undo what we did?
What is left for your kid?

Lost Chance

As my fingers slide over the frets
I pondered over any regrets
I wish I had kissed that boy who got rid of my frown
It was hard to accept when they told me he had drown

Rainbows Don't Last Forever

Endure the stormy weather

Things eventually come back together

Like veins bringing used blood back to the heart

You get a fresh breath after things fall apart

The Quantum Leap

Times of contemplation give me cause to vent
I keep reliving some horrible past event

How do I get out of this predicament?
Where is the fast forward button to the present moment?

Light is both a particle and a wave
Being a form and form-less is how I behave

Negative thoughts create parasitic emotion
In my body, it creates quite a commotion

To transcend all of Life's negativity
No need to fully understand the Theory of Relativity

Other dimensions allow for another reality
Other dimensions make it a possibility

Positive vibrations release creativity
Just find joy in all your activity

I wish I was as enlightened as His Holiness
The Dalai Lama professes interconnectedness

Heaven is not a destination but a realm of consciousness
It's more about the awakening than any amount of goodness

Instead of holding on, it is about the catch and release
In all this suffering we find lasting peace

Now it is time for restful sleep
For we have made the Quantum Leap

The Leap

I can hear myself scream
Falling, never landing, grasping at sunbeams
You have a choice
Said the Being without a voice
Drop your line in the pity parade
Take your spot on this crazy crusade
Not letting it show is stoic
Not facing up is not heroic
You will be haunted forever in troubled sleep
When you commit a failed attempt at the Leap

The Damned

Searching for the Truth is my motor to propel
I realize now that I have been living under a spell
Nearly everyone abandoned me when my reputation fell
It was as if I was emitting some nasty kind of smell
You were always painting pictures and lying to dispel
How many ugly secrets do you truly wish to quell?
Guilt is powerful and you felt the need to compel
The forensics test indicated shame in my every cell
I know it is my fault so go ahead and yell
I'm running late so do it before the last bell
I think I know why you told me not to tell
You were just afraid that I would die and go to hell
