[ As I listen to a lullaby ]

 

As I listen to a lullaby

a spot of death

lands upon the soul


For I discarded the temple

and so lost grip

during years of inattentiveness

through neglect

of my worthy thirteen companions

such blackness

now poors out of the nine apertures


Could I have but had a hold

(and not fear the tigre) 

on my earthiness, my nature

(and nourish life's spirit)

no spots of death would mar

(and wear the shroud) 

the temple that bears my soul

[ And Not Conquer Any ]

 

I just imagine

the path rearwards

little by little

doing less and less

just following

in its dynamiques


For even the immortals

do less than little 

as I just stroll the world 

softly backwards

And not conquer any

[ He smiles ]

 

He smiles

            - as i do -

at your honest heart


He even smiles

                - like i do -

at your darkened heart


He meets us all

and doesn't weigh

the right or the wrong

as he adopts any heart

as his own, as the world's


And should we meet, he, you, can have mine too

To defeat a bully

 

My peaceful friends

to defeat a bully

you only need 

to offer him 

that clash

he fears

so just

wage

war

on

[ As he sits going nowhere ]

 


As he sits going nowhere


this sage knows the world

he has travelled the stars

his eyes shut

hard lips sealed

his ears deafened

hard heart unmoved


Who is he I asked

and he spoke

it is you who I am


For I am nothing yet alight

[ And be content ]

 

And be content o man

Trade your horse for an ox

If you want to conquer the earth
