you

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For......U2

Woe to you oh earth and sea,
for the devil sends the beast with wrath,
because he knows the time is short....
let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast,
for it is a human number...
its number is six hundred and sixty-six...

"Sister Awake"

when the winter was over
she returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light

she remembered the beauty
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light

i am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes...

sister walk through these fields of delight
but I want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake

when this beautiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake

and you'll look to the heavens above
and taste it's deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake

and you'll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake
awake

And every day the quiet clay seemed to heavy and heavier grow
So on I went, though the dogs were spent, and the grub was getting low.
The trail was bad, and I felt half-mad, though I swore I would not give in.
I’d often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin.

Till I came to the marge on Lake LaBarge, and a derelict there lay
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw with a trice it was called the “Alice May.”
I looked at it and I thought for a bit, then I looked at my frozen chum
And “Here” said I, with a sudden cry, “is my cre-ma-tor-eum.

Some planks I tore from the cabin floor and I lit the boiler fire;
Some coal I found that way lying around and I heaped the fuel higher;
The flames just soared, and the furnace roared, such a blaze you seldom see;
And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee.


A little bit more of the poem - "The Cremation of Sam McGee" - one of my favorites!

I

Man's unhappiness, as I construe,
comes of his greatness; it is because
there is an infinite in him, which
with all his cunning he cannot quite
bury under the finite.

--Thomas Carlyle

bury

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.

old cowboy song.

~bury

Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the bind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both 'a my ears
If they don't mind the size!

John Prine

YOU

Put on your best dress baby
and darling fix your hair up right
Cuz there's a party honey
way down beneath the neon lights
all day you been working that hard line
now tonight you're gonna have a good time

I work 5 days a week girl
loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
and meet my girl down on the block
Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got friday on my mind

When that wistle blows, girl I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm outa my work clothes

When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
when I'm out in the street
when I'm out in the street.....

"Had I to carve an inscription on my tombstone, I would ask for none other than 'The Individual.'

--Soren Kierkegaard

ASK

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the
world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around
you. We are born to manifest the Glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.

She Comes Not by Herbert Trench

She comes not when noon is on the roses –
Too bright is day
She comes not to the soul til it reposes
From work and play

But when the night is on the hills and the
Great voices roll in from the sea
In starlight and candle-light and dreamlight,
She comes to me.
