Listening to every heart

Not for sale…

Dust to dust
But add some water, and
Once again, a star is born

Who hasn’t heard
The gift of matter
And of a sun, which keeps all warm

I have heard, and yet again
The speech that is in play ~
And I tell it, oh, I tell it,
“Please, now please, oh go away…”

But it persists,
Like a hungry ghost
Feeding on sweet oysters,
It will stay
‘Til my dying day
Like any lit-bound shyster…

“There’s a pearl inside the thought”
And hunger feeds the greed;
Others who would surely see
The gathering of green…

And who are they?
I think, and wonder;
Who would sell my soul?
Who would give my
Give and take?
For the sound of
Soul’s sweet thunder?

Nothing real is ever for sale
if it doesn't bleed red ignore it
pricks of pins accidental purposeful
whims tell shysters from attractions

come one come all
lady over ball crytal answers
all for a single drop of blood
watch the mob run and run and run

whilst pints flow outwards
seen unnoticed matters not tis
all in all the absolute which
calls wellspring heart

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."
