I was running, leisurely sunning
treading upon Earth Mother
I could have more fun, under the sun
by running more, if I had my druthers
Drifting through the park, quick cadence
"What a beautiful day", someone saying
I heard Meadowlark sing of radiance;
children playing as I was relaying
I breathed the savory odor
of barbecued food on the grill
To the day there was an order,
A sense of expectation and thrill
As the basketball went in (all net)
The dominoes were slappin' (Gimme 10)
Gentle breeze sent in (Fall met)
Giving thanks for the food (Amen)
It occurred to me that everything-
was happening in syncopation
The bird flew away, opposing swing-
to all there was a logical relation
I trod up a hill by a mill
where paper is manufactured
All was still, for a moment I feel
I am part of the overall structure
Where I am, and where I've been-
set the scene for the present
What I do, and all that I've seen,
makes the runshine more pleasant
A song playing in my mind-
takes me back to another time
It brings a whole emotion, I find-
this feeling is superbly sublime
I feel free, I am getting high
on my second wind, I descend
Being truly me, going to try,
this mental anguish to mend
My mind racing, feet pacing-
a beat that is in synch,
with another athlete, bracing
In another space, to go into the rink
We work together, seperately
to weave a mandalic design
Threads woven through you and me,
in a manner that twists and twines
If you study the shape of this fabric
It would resemble our DNA
The double helix, deep and thick,
Oh, and by the way
Have you heard? Did you know?
That we are all connected!
Be smart, because where you go,
after this will be directed
By Everything that you do and say,
all that you are beckoning
Because there will come a day,
when there will be a reckoning
Time flows like a river
that waters thirsty souls
Be a generous giver,
as the cosmic wheel doles:
Exactly what is given,
heed my sound advice
Then you too, will be driven
to be correct and concise
Live- laugh- cry, then try
then try a little harder
Because when you die,
you can no longer barter
The time is
Now,
this is all
Real
Search for
How-
to fully feel
The immensity and intensity
of the True Meaning-
Invest in this propensity,
toward wisdom you'll be leaning
Listen more,
talk less
Do your chores,
and be blessed
In this manner, you will be able
to bless others, and enjoy
the benefits of being more stable,
as these woven forces you employ
Help me weave this tapestry,
together we can work
then, in the end you will see
that you did not shirk
The responsibility
of doing what is Right
which first came, you see
from The Source of Light
Which surrounds,
abounds,
confounds,
and astounds.
Now,
how does that sound,
Pleasant?
Then:
Live in the
present,
never forget the
past,
and plan for and
~ expect~
a bright future

Thanks to
helvi2@Fanart for the perfect image.
The song that was playing in my mind was
"I Feel Free" by Cream,
Off of the "Fresh Cream"
Albumn
Bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp
I feel free
Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
(I, I, I, I feel free
I feel free
I feel free)
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Dance floor is like the sea
Ceiling is the sky
You're the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
I, I, I, I

"Like a Beacon that shines into the night, seeking all who are deceived. Defining the line between wrong and right, redeeming all who will believe.
The light that used to blind you now, makes everything so clear-no longer wondering why or how, for once you're certain why your here"
Excerpt from a song I wrote, and gave myself permission to use.
