Always some colour

Always some colour, some light

somewhere

where, when the heart opens out.

 

Arise

 

Arise, of roots

of what's past

No delusion now.

Nothing special

Nothing special

Nothing unusual

in life, in decay, in death

Each a natural.

 

When darkness falls

When darkness falls

it's not total

There's truth somewhere

floating in purity.

 

Let go

Let go

into the essence

into what is.

 

Was that intrusion

Was that intrusion

into perfection

into completeness

Only when something's lost.

 

What's it when a journey's over

What's it when a journey's over

What was pure, what was not

What's to keep, what's to let go.

 

None is stagnant

 

None is stagnant

even as it's captured

A pure heart imparts.
