I no longer understand your existence
I no longer understand your existence.
You wish to build castles on quicksand.
You believe this illusion to be real.
I can no longer accept this.
I deal only in reality now.

With What Words
With what words could I describe my love for you.
For without you I am lost.
Destined to forever wander.
Alone and destitute.
In your court I did wrong
And cast out was I .
Yet I see what I have done now.
And bow in forgiveness at every turn I do.
For where is it you are not.
Forgive me
Let me return
A lover beseeches his beloved
Let me come home now.

The Invitation
Truth hides out in the one way place you won't dare to look. Right where you are. Right here and right now. You brave enough to take a look or will you just delude yourself with your so called worship, your so called knowledge. Come turn inwards and see and behold that divine glory that is already is you. The invitation is always here for your Lord is merciful. Accept it and see the paradox resolved . That while travelling home you already are home.
The Ecstatics danced around the fire
The ecstatics danced around the fire.
Dead to themselves yet alive to their beloved.
They danced and they sang
Then when it was time
Each silently died
Died to falsehood
But alive to life
So life now danced with itself
Forever young
Forever free

Is my very existence a mystery to you?
Is my very existence a mystery to you?
My beloved do you even know me?
Do you know of my love for you?
If you do, why do you watch me suffer?
Like a blind man I stumble here and there seeking you
And yet you say you are closer to me then my jugular vein.
That when I take a step to you, that you run to me.
Then my lord why do I feel this emptiness?
Why do I feel you have forsaken me?
Why do I feel at all?
When all I wish is to die to me and be with you.
This is no longer needed now.
For you are all I need
All I desire
All I want
Do not forsake me my beloved.
Let me return to you now.
