Patiently He sits A refiner of silver I feel the fire blaze Purifying the vessel 'Til it shows His reflection ******************* The soul's instrument Is all that the body is Confused doctors toil To cure the musician by Repairing his piano ********************** Two seeds were planted One was uncovered daily To check its progress Lack of faith brought lack of growth While the other bore much fruit ************************* Tossed upon the sea The sea of humanity The Master did sleep In the back of this vessel He awoke and calmed the storms *********************** Am I this body Formed from the clay of the earth? Its' senses blind me The blind man received his sight By washing away the clay ************************* Fantasies and myths Fun thoughts created by Mind There is Perfect Peace I'm free to be "me" because I know that there isn't one *************************** "Individual" What a foolish thought to have Like an ocean wave That crashes upon the rocks True SELF is untouched by death ************************* LIFE is what happens While we're making other plans Enjoy what you get Halitosis is better Than having no breath at all |
