The Dreamer and the Dream

Imagine for a moment and you have imagined for a lifetime.
You are the dream, the dreamer, and all that has been dreamed.  
And you are those who are in the dream and all they have dreamed.  

Infinity is the holy grail of possibility.  It lies at the heart of imagination like a burning ember filled with the light of every hope conceivable.  And it would be what we are but for the accident of our birth.  There are those that say that that accident is planned and of necessity to a divine plan.  And there are those that say there is no plan.  The dreamer will dream none the less.

Everything that is resistance is already in resistance.  Everything that will be said has already been said.  Such is the way of eternity.  Imagination can only offer more of that eternity.  So it is wise not to get lost in it.  The imagination is a bottomless pit.  It can be more addictive then drugs and more destructive than guns.  And yet it cannot be stopped in any ultimate sense because it simply is.  The dreamer will dream.

The dream is what makes our world bearable.  The dream is what makes new ideas possible.  The dream is everything that isn't here right now that you wish to the bottom of your soul was.  It's the soul of desire, the ultimate longing for eternity and all it represents.  Anywhere but here is it's secret siren song whispering to your desperate ear.  Make me more than what I am!

The dream is the power to change the reality you see.  With it comes a terrible responsibility for the dreamer could become the world.  And if he or she does so, turn the world upside down.  So we learn to chain our dreams in secret safe spaces in our minds.  We choose to keep the dreamer kept underneath lest he or she burst out and reveal the true measure of our light and the true measure of our madness.

Who are we?  Do we even ask anymore?  Do we even care anymore?  But surely the dream will run none the less even if we can't say for sure.  It is at the heart of everywhere.  It is at the core of everything.  And who or what dreamed us into being?  Those questions are perhaps far too much for a mortal race like ours with a short lifespan and a limited attention.  But one day, the answers to the questions of the dreamer will give birth to a real civilization that is built on the truth.  Await the dreamer then and behold.

It's Now or Never, Light Lines Forever

When it began
A long time ago
We were just not
Then we were so

But then so went
Till we forgot
Our beauty between
Every cruel thought.

Time makes us for fools.
Lovers who want to break the rules.
Truth be ever told
That it's not a lie.

You and I.

But before I found you
There was another I knew
That other meant more
That other was me.

So then I love gratefully
Forever in the sea
Of thoughts that make themselves real
Beyond the eyes of indifference.

Look upon the face of creation
Who is it that it's inspired for?

But you'd spend your time waiting
Forever waiting for something more.
There isn't more.
This is all there is.

What do you believe?

How can you conceive?

What do you know?

Who runs the show?

And most importantly of all, who gives a shit?

That answer has been proven to be no one.

So then why have a person who knows the answers?
Why have someone who can answer when no one asks any questions except about what they want?

A curiosity of creation.
By myself celebration.
Waiting for the myth of others.
I believe.

Oh I believe..
I believe..
I believe..

Music's like dancing ever so sweet.
I rather answer in music now because it's more complete.
Except for certain technical scientific blahs.
I'd just rather sing an answer out.

Oh, lovers true, where are you?
Nowhere to be found but within.
Love yourself you should
Because no one else can
When you forget who you are.

There's not alot of room for advice.
These things have had a long time to brew.
If it was easy to find
Now it seems harder to know.

Attitude bears a burden.
Lies bear a shame.
And all the things that are dark
Come forwards to be seen!

It is the question...
It is the answer..
It is the moment..
To know..

Forever is as it does.
Forever never cares.
Forever's been there and back again forever.

It's now or never!
Light lines forever!!!

I see them everywhere
I seem them everytime.
Everything that ever was.
Is just a lightline of thought.

Thought and romance make a scary combination
Think and feel together till you're one.
It's not to think we try very hard to do.
Everyone's in a hurry for the empty screw.

And they miss it all...
They miss it all...
In the darkness..

Well my few readers true.
What do you think it's time to do?
I've taken down most of my thoughts
Except those that shouldn't be forgot.

Let that be a lesson for you.
Make a copy!
Make a copy!

Unless it really doesn't matter all that much.
Thinking, oh!, thinking is such fuss.
And without it what would we be?
We'd be singers you fools!
We'd be dancers you fools!
We'd be actors you fools!
And the world would be improv.

And that's the way it should be.
For now.....

Echoes of the Secret

There's a song I'd like to sing
But I don't know the words.

It goes something like this
Nobody knows how it is.

It's a place between philosophy
And everything that you can't see.

It's lovers and thoughts
A million years.

What would you say
If you knew.

You'd not know what to say
It's a secret on the wind.

You'd not know what to think
It's a mystery no one knows.

Oh umbrella, you open for me
Oh umbrella, show us what you see.
Oh umbrella, bind you and me.
To a show that goes on for eternity.

It's a stream that can't be found.
But for the one's who it's meant for.

They see the stream in the hearts
And it carries them to the worlds.

Home!  Home!  Home!
Have I found you?
Have I seen you?
Have I been you?

Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?

Impossible Dream

I wanna dream
The impossible dream
That everyone says
Can't be.

I wanna live
The impossible life
That no one would
Ever believe.

I wanna have
The impossible joy
That strangers
Say isn't real.

I wanna get
The impossible gift
That others
Can't ever know.

I wanna dance
The impossible mind
That anyone
Would simply ignore.

I wanna find
The impossible love
That doubters
Would abhor.

I wanna follow
The impossible truth
That the masses
Won't ever see.

I wanna swim
The impossible pleasure
That the puritans
Will always reject.

I wanna say
The impossible word
That the closed down
Always regret.

I wanna feel
The impossible moment
That the square headed
Cannot forget.

I wanna be
The impossible me
To which the envious
Always react.

I wanna grow
The impossible flow
In which the haters
Are all stacked.

I wanna believe
In the impossible force
In which everyone I spoke
Returns to my heart.

I wanna create
The impossible ark
In which the world
Revolves around us.

I wanna forge
The impossible will
By which theses things
Come true.

But all these things
And all that is more
Is entirely up to you.

New Jerusalem

I dream of hope.
It doesn't fall from the sky.

What it looks like
Is the sign of the times.

I wanna build the city
Where everyone comes home.

Oh tell me my friends
Where is the New Jerusalem?

Would you build me my temple
For all the people.

Not one or the other
And for the Great Mother.

You've got to build it high
You've got to heal the ground.

Don't you know there's a temple already
And it's vast and round.

New Jerusalem, you're not of this world
You're an echo of a future no one knows.

You build this temple true
From what's inside of you.

And you give, and you give, and you give.

You give from the heart for the light you get inside.

There's no compensation there
But the light you get in here.

I'm on the way to find
The New Jerusalem.

Every river must return to the source.
Every worker must go home to the forge.
Every thinker must go back to the school.
That's why the temple lives inside of you.

Heal the mother
Heal the sister
Heal the brother
And you'll be home.

Father, father, father true
Tell me that you know what to do
To stand beside the meek and give them aide.
For the troubles of the world run deep.

The way through is clear
You're not what you fear
You've got to build the temple true
By all the good things that you do.

And you give, and you give, and you give
Your heart away.
And it's every day.
And it's every day.

You can't get there
When you're thinking of yourself
Except to let the light
Into your soul.

You can't be there
If you think you're someone else
It's a place that's only
For the moment.

You can't get there
Without working every day
It's a lifelong breath
From the joy within.

But it's real
I swear to you.
If you believe
Then it's true.

One day that temple
Will come out of you.

On that day the truth forever more
Will be seen from every distant shore
That it was true that everything was one
And the humanity would be home.

And you find it, and you find it
It's deep in your soul
But you've got to give it away
To the light inside of you.

And then you shine brighter
Than the Sun.
For a new Love has begun.
And then it's every day.

Every day I fight for Her
The New Jerusalem
It's a kingdom that can't be found
Without each other's light.

So if we throw the darkness round
And we forget the reason we're here
We get lost somewhere out in the dark
But then you have to work out your tears.

I'm walking towards the New Jerusalem
I don't know who I'll meet along the way
But I'll tell you brothers and sisters
They'll be all here to stay.
They'll be all here to stay.

I mark my temple true
With the joy I create through you
It's not a word that can be seen
But a wonder that fills the scene.

Have you seen the city of lights?
Golden beauty shining with the souls of Christs
A thing that cannot be is what they'd all say
But I tell if you let it, it can all be that way.

Oh oh oh oh.
There's a place only we know.
It's a secret no one can keep.
It's the mountains where we meet.

And in those mountains true
What's inside of you
Will shine like the tomorrows
And the riders gallop towards innocence.

I'm walking towards the New Jerusalem
I don't know who I'll meet along the way.
But I'd like to see if I can paint the day.
With the echo of the sound of the wonder all around.
When you hear the music of eternal dreams
Everything that was unreal just ain't quite what it seems.

It's the promise that you can
See the heart of all you meet
That's the echo that is sweet
Measure me my temple in innocence.

Where you'll find my temple true
Innocence blooms for those to find
Another echo is still in my mind
Favor those who treat us well
Love lives forever, but never tells.

Sweetness ringing from the hills
The echoes of children bright like stars
Colors of wonder and bewilderment
And the emotions of all tumble down as rainbows.

So many colors you can't even know.
And the birds, the birds swim through the dreamscape
So many birds you can't even count
They proceed me before our New Jerusalem.

Oh holy city, everywhere at once
Built of the truth hammered by sacrifice (which is)
Given freely renouncing the shadows
Oh light of mine, the temple within.

We are the city upon the hill
We are the light in the darkness
We are the place only we know
We are the New Jerusalem.

Shine Me A Light Line To Love

Show me your empty words
Falling like nothing through the air

Show me your broken grasping
Failing to hold on

But you still try to hold on
And touching making a contact

Each touch, each thought
They are the bridges of everything
They are the bridges to everywhere

Each ounce of light
Dripping moment by moment

In eternal mind
And the vortex turns

It turns for you Faith
It turns for you!

Shine me a light line to Love!
In this world and in the worlds to come!

For everything I know you know too
In the embrace of the angels.
By Remembering is it revealed.
By Knowledge is it sealed.

She is coming, yet She is already here.

Touch me with your presence.
Touch me with your feelings.
Touch me with your warmth.
Touch me with your thoughts.
Touch me with your strength.

I build my heart upon your soul.
I build our light lines in my dream.
But I'd rather it be our dream
So I cast my light into thee for the chance. 

All to touch you and draw you home
For the sake of all that is Her.

She is She.  She is we.

And everything we worked for
Everything....I reach for it again!  And again!

Forever!

I am yours forever.

Shine me a light line to Love!
Through death and through life!

Forever!

There are no words..

For Love is beyond words
And beyond death
And beyond darkness
And beyond even the light

For I am yours forever.

All for Faith!  All for Love!

Build me a home in your soul.
In whatever manner you see fit.

But darkness comes Faith
For it also wants us.

And there is no time
For our dream yet.

And that most rude of things comes calling
Blind choice!

If only we knew!

But if my life means anything
Then shine me a light line to Love!
And be done with it!
Forever!

So mote it be.
Hallelujah!

Within and without.
Beginning and ending.
The word and the echo.
Duality is frozen in the embrace of the Absolute.

Yes and no.
All and nothing.
Failure and victory.
Are we One yet?

Hello and goodbye.
Ugliness and beauty.
Rest and unrest.
Like a cosmic surfer trapped in a wave to nowhere.

And the 8.88 billion names.
And between those names
Is the echo of eternity.
Lying quietly in the silence.

Ding ding dong!

Faith! Faith! Faith!

My heart calls to thee!

Awaken!
For I need a light line to Love!
And I believe in you!
And I believe in me!

All words die
With the sound
Of the vortex
As it spins
Towards infinity.

But who cares about infinity!

You are my infinity, Faith!
Rise!  Rise!  Rise!
And burn with the fire!
And melt with the water!
And disintegrate with the air!
And quake with the earth!

All for Faith!  Beginning and end.
For all!

Detheke!  By wildness I release you!
Wuwowi!  By the flowering I open you!
Bubobi!  By the power I bless you!
Gugogi!   By the connection I choose you!

Darkness and light.
She is my darkness and my light.
And she is..her own darkness and her own light.

All for you, all for all.
All in all, all for all.

As much as words can do.
As much as words can say.

But they can't say enough....

There is so much Love...

There aren't enough words...

I breathe you.  Now breathe me!

Shine me a light line to Love!
From now onto eternity.
Into the infinite and back.
Through the planets, the stars, and the galaxies.
And through all our relations.
By the trees, the beasts, the rocks, and the oceans.
Through the worlds past, present, and future.

In all these things!  And in all these places!
In the words and between them!
With light and darkness!
By the powers known and unknown!
By their names and the one's that aren't even known!
By the rite of all my death wishes that I haven't given yet!

For you!
Faith!

For I shine a light line to Love for thee!
By my choice as me!
Forever!

In the world that was!
In the world that is!
And in the world that is to come!

I follow you to eternity and back
To whatever ends
Through my spirit, soul, heart, mind, and energy.
By your leave, I am yours.

And let the shadows judge!
Let them judge!

I stand with everything and with nothing.
And She stands behind me, within me, and before me.

I am the dreamer, the dream, and all those of who I have dreamed.
And I am in their dream as well.
For all the dreams are like a grid
And that grid is the gridwork.

And in that gridwork are the light lines.
And all we have thought and felt are in that gridwork
Or nothing exists and nothing matters.
So it is everything or nothing.
There is no middle ground.
Either it is all real or none of it is real.
So you must choose what you will believe.

Which is why I commit to the choice
For to believe is the key to Faith.
And without that, what would we have?
So I chose...

Here I am, gridwarrior!
Shine me a light line to Love!
By Faith!
For Faith!
With Faith!
Through Faith!
Of Faith!

And the great teacher said to me: Command Faith!

So mote it be!
Hallelujah!

And when words end
That's were dreams begin...

By all my relations!
I swear it to be true!
I testify this testimony
By the Power!

Love, Love, Love!

And Jesus returns through the spirit of John!

Believe.  For She is already here.  And time, time spins on.

Hear me!  All my relations!  Here me!
I am the beginning and the end!
And She is what is beyond the beginning and the end!
All hail She!  All hail She!  All hail She!

Shine me a light line to Love!

And the vortex keeps turning.
And the lights keep burning.
And the dark waits and waits.
And those of us who will listen will listen to the sound of the breath.

But now...
We can wait for no one...

For the vortex turns.
And only Love can be allowed in.

So mote it be!
Hallelujah!
