Learned so much know so little, feel in touch with the symbols of the underground, profound insights into light and sound i found, wisdom of a higher order, in the schism of the mind’s recorder. What i’ve seen what i’ve heard about prying open the third. I, said i’m not afraid to follow Where the information goes my attention flows Like the river-sky that nobody knows Spinning round i found even deeper it goes. Sometimes i wonder how i made it this far Then i remember i’m an awesome examplar Destined for greatness, reaching for stars As visions of the future coincide with dreams of the past i make sense of chaos, meaning of wonder Not to let dualism tear me asunder, i cry Why me, right here right now? Is there any balance to be found? In the world, dark as night light as day, listen to me when i say: It’s OK. To let go of what you know is crucial to a brighter tomorrow. Empty the cup, fill the heart, have a blank slate and restart No fear, build it back up, shed a tear for your handywork Formless like water i think you really ought to Know what it’s like on the border between fire and ice Yin and yang, see all things twice it’s a beautiful thang To know eyes of gray see a bigger picture and the best of both worlds where lies will never get ya Journey through the deep void, flying like an asteroid. Annoyed. Ethereal like, a reality inside hidden in plain sight Dismissed by academics, you know i just might Have to lead a horse to water, force it to drink, if i could i’d take it to the brink And the cutting edge of what it thinks, to diffuse, dissolve, and dismantle the bars, nets, and bonds Holding in place illusions of waking life, stealing dreams as you sleep, intentional strife Distracting, take no notice, center and ground, all ideas have value and virtue abound Trust in the middle ground, flip a coin, take a leap You never know what’s waiting round the corner, life is cheap But time is short and is Love is brief so make the most of it Make the right choice, despite the noise, hear the timid within Use your voice, find your poise, be the spirit therein Lead by example, a beacon for your peers Chin up and throw away all the tears, negativity and doubts Take Action. Be the change you want to see that’s what it’s all about. © 2016 Ash: of the Grimshaw family – All Rights Reserved.
