Enigma



Light of illumination
 filled the tiny vortex of my mind
 A world colored river earth cloud and storm
 Forestry crosswinds and fire

 Ah natural madness beautiful madness
 A sweet perfect chaotic choir
 So I can drown snug in a sublime mire
 And stand under waterfall of senses and bathe

 Only to replenish the infinite orb of me
 The glow of life this heavenly orb
 Kept within everyone's old locket of sight
 Then express I into free and walk into flight

 With burdens plus pain hung from swift wings
 Exploring portraying recording
 The when and the being
 Holding inside

 Emotional spin time keep in heart beats
 Thought sweeps and breath leaps
 Yes forever in glide
 Another man holding time

 Using soul as a guide and breathing in deep
 This life my soul reaps
