And get till satisfaction.
I'm here just for you!

I'm here just for you

Gonna meditate on you
cause i am da man.

cause i am da man

Erased, reborn, eternal

this madness must end

This madness must end,
We don' have a spare world,
Or a spare life!

Cause I am da man

I have two ways of thinking

Little head big head...

little head, big head
or being without a head
no thoughts, just being

no thoughts, just being
eternal, as the river
does without doing

Does without doing
and still doesn't with doing
A trip that must be.

What a trip that must be,
from the mountain to the sea,
and back like salmon

and back like salmon
and red, red nose and red neck
sun-kissed by Bud Light

sun-kissed by Bud Light
azure sky on the horizon
where is the way home?

Where is the way home?
There are so so many paths.
The sea doesn't ask.

The sea doesn't ask

Where the spray from its waves goes

Before it returns

Before it returns
to heaven, rain finds shelter
in my cup of tea

Before it returns
it will make experiences
so to bring a gift

Addendum: oops, sorry!

in my cup of tea,
do you really want to know,
for I see what is

in my cup of tea
the sadness of the world vanishes
every sip an eternity of joy

Every sip an eternity of joy
My tea is better than yours
i am enlightened

i am enlightened
I can finally laugh at myself
enjoy your self world honored one

please folks- the

thing is a restriction, yes, but it is also the discipline... we can do this !

I am enlightened
I am in the dark, at rest
Dusk settles the wind

Dusk settles the wind
Birds sing one final chorus
I am not alone

I am not alone
with the moon and my shadow
and Li Po's drunk ghost

This in commemoration of the following by Li Po (701--762 AD), a taoist poet and drunk:

I take my wine jug out among the flowers
to drink alone, without friends.

I raise my cup to entice the moon.
That, and my shadow, makes us three.

But the moon doesn't drink,
and my shadow silently follows.

I will travel with moon and shadow,
happy to the end of spring.

When I sing, the moon dances.
When I dance, my shadow dances, too.

We share life's joys when sober.
Drunk, each goes a separate way.

Constant friends, although we wander,
we'll meet again in the Milky Way.

and Li Po's drunk ghost
with Chiao Chi sharing some wine
and zen of poetry

On Myself
I was not chosen to head the dragon list,
Nor was my name entered into the biography of worthies;
From time to time I'm a sage of wine,
Finding everywhere the zen of poetry-
Highest graduate of the college of clouds and mists,
Drunken angel of rivers and lakes,
My talks and jokes are for the Imperial Academy of Compilation.
Loitering,
I've been writing commentaries on the wind and moon for forty years.

Chiao Chi
1280 - 1345

and zen of poetry
the goddess of laughter sings
strings of lambent tears

strings of lambent tears
caress softly then are gone
whispers echo back

strings of lambent tears
chackra songs of rainbowlight
illuminate air

illuminate air
Darkening earthly shadows
I now seek balance

I now seek balance
Silly clown's acrobatics
The crowd laughs aloud

the crowd laughs aloud
with the child as he dances
across rainbow bridge

across rainbow bridge
into pillowy cloud peaks
where did the ground go?

.................

Invisible stay
To girdle like a whale bone
Strange how one's mind works.

Strange how one's mind works
Dancing swarm of Faery lights
Grab it you cannot

Grab it you cannot

Sounds like Yoda has the floor

Laughing at grasping

Laughing at grasping
What is being laughed at?
Does grasping exist?

Does grasping exist?
Gaining hold, can one let go?
Snowflake floating down...

Snowflake floating down...
soon to turn brown from dog shit
Everything is god.

Everything is god.
And those things that I don't like?
Where is honesty?

Where is honesty?
an old, tired man asks.
awaiting death.

awaiting death
i know i rejoin the flow
life and death are one.

Life and death are one,
one gives birth to two and three,
don't pretend it doesn't!

Don't pretend it doesn't

It is always done, always

Evaporation...

Eva Po ration
It`s always done the same way
smile and know you´re right

Smile and know you're right
It must be me after all
