She plants seeds of enlightenment,

Into this lanky lost lover.

He has no clue. 

She says,

“Amuse me, muse me, show me your soul.”

He summons his spiritual mama, 

Sparks another spliff,

And gives it a go.

He thinks he’s hot shit with his crystal blue eyes, 

But they’re glassy with booze, still telling him lies.

He’s busy romanticizing,

The tortured soul of a drunken loner,

But for her, this is just a painful mirror,  

A worn out reel, an old story for another.

Seeking, searching, he still doesn’t know,

How amazing it is, to let the old Self go. 

She says, “You’re golden,”

As she peers past his shadow.

Drowning in the erratic bender of his mind,

He races through his thoughts, 

Terrified of what he’ll find.

He’s about to wake up, 

Out of this dream we all chose.

The irony of looking,

For what he already knows.

She whispers like an angelic cloud, 

Over the peak of his cliff,

With gentle mists,

“Hey, you’re almost here...”

But he resists. 

The old programs, 

Have a rope around his neck. 

So he free solos instead,

About to deck. 

As she combs through his sticky hair, 

Tasting the sweat off his nape,

The Ego of her rock hippy slurs, 

“Spirits aren’t real. That shit is all fake.”

She laughs at the state of her celestial kin,

Putting up walls,

And climbing right in. 

She speaks from a rainbowy plane,

“I want to meet you here…

Where the ropes are made of stars.”

But he can’t see the big picture,

Still drudging in bars.

Caught in the spinning chaos, 

Right before the bliss of rebirth.

What a journey it is,

To discover your worth. 

Singing love songs, 

Dropping another dose.

Wandering into the desert dust,

Afraid to get close. 

Got his fingers in the cracks, 

but she slips through.

Up amongst the Eagle’s nests,

Rise up, Captain Beyond,

Your time is due.
