I made this a month ago. I love it. It represents my younger childhood days, playing in the field behind my house, believing fairies and wolves were around me and gave me spirituality.
Sitting under, Full of wonder, Thinking funny, Completely sunny. • The shade is great, must be fate I can see the grass growing.
My feet are warm, without a storm I can feel the grass growing.
Looking up to the leaves, they hold the keys I giggle at the grass growing.
The branches spread, a tree well-fed Oh, the grass is growing. • Across the field, I see a fool - he's running ever so funny I imagine it, a picture in my head, as if he were a silly bunny His legs are thin, his face a huge grin - he's got on a hat of wild As he prances and as he bounces, he seems not a fool, but a fairly quick child I still sit - under my tree, and be watching the grass grow And as it does, and as I giggle, I seem to sense his flow He approaches, but does not talk, but rather laughs a little A chuckle escapes and I stand awake and question him with a riddle:
"You sir fairy, so agile and airy what is it that you do? I see you here and I see you there, but never asked to you. You seem so pleased and seem so happy, what is it that you keep? I wish to see, I wish to smell that secret within you deep. I sit here too, under the blue, thinking of the day, but in a way, I wish I could, but never can I stay. So what is it mister? Exactly exactly what is it that you do?"
His giggle was simple and quick to me And he pointed to his nose "Can't you see?"
He did a jump and spin, his leather shoes a-flop A little hand motion and then a whole body drop He sat on the grass that was growing.
"I hear the breeze and I feel its tease Right on my frontside and back I swing from the branches and play in the trees Until I tire and sleep I sit on the rocks, and care never for clocks As they just tell you how much time you have left I think never of tommorrow, That will only bring sorrow This is true for all Think only today, as tommorrow never to stays I hope you can see this for sure The now is forever and you will see this Because it's not only bliss, it's nature's sweet kiss - Let it be known to you So now you see? It's not just me It's how you think of today."
I woke from my dream to see a new scene And now I can see the day. I wonder of now, and just exactly how That little man got that way. I will visit him again, a little now, a little then But finally, I see the day.

haha - i never read poetry but that was awesome. antrocles wrote:...purity of intent....purity of execution....purity of experience...
...unlike the "blind leading the blind". we are more akin to a group of blind-from-birth people who have all simultaneously been given the gift of sight but have no words or mental processing capabilites to work with this new "gift".
IT IS ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE WILLING TO EXPOSE OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANNIHILATION THAT WE DISCOVER THAT PART OF OURSELVES THAT IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.
