Leap
I set out on a journey to appease my soul and honor the deity, but I got caught in a rift and almost fell from the cliff. I was caught between the tree and the rock, and the shrubs is covering my cap. I have been stuck there for three days watching the soil falling away, the baboon is jumping from tree to tree, and it is trying to save me, it almost fell into the hole, but the rock saves it from the sonic boom. It turns its face towards the sun and the radiation melts the ground.
Heaven and earth are hanging on to the vine and the clouds are getting wild, there is nothing in between them but thin air and water vapor floating in the atmosphere.
Heaven and earth are carved on the wall and the great empire will have to fall; there is no one with a golden chair sitting upright, up there, it is myth extracted from the children’s story book. There is no one’s sitting with a big black book up there, to read the decree and tell you what you did not cook, something gigantic will fall out of the sky and burn the passion on earth and many people will die; it will happen in the middle east for that is where the sun lives.
Heaven and earth are mingling in the dirt and the men are walking around without shirt, their manhood is shaking inside the belt and the passion is swelling between the wall and the rain suddenly began to fall. Strange sounds evaporate from the rooms and the man with the funny face appeared in the moon smiled and disappeared, it is the face of the old man that I have always seen with a message to hold on to the dream, the fish are swimming in the ocean and the great pyramid of Ginza is observing the brawl.
Heaven and earth are looking at you and it is telling you exactly what to do; go up to the top of the mountain and look between the walls that flow between the falls, there is a gradient at the side and there a chrysanthemum abide, you have to lift it carefully or you will roll down in the gully; travel with ropes and chains or your journey will be in vain.
Heaven and earth are moving around, and the crowd is moving into the town; something magnificent is going on, the multitude is packing the arena, and they will bring the basket to the ground, take that leap without fear and before you know it you will be there; the whole world is behind you and the universe will protect.
Take that once in a life-time leap in the air, the atmosphere will hold you there until the basket is clear.
Leap!
