WHAT THE MASTERS HAVE
Confess to your dreams
You've counted up the losses
They know you've failed them
But dreams can be replaced.
Apologize to the gurus
And bear them down from their crosses
Where you once blackmailed them
And send them on their way.
The seekers want,
what the masters have
So it's safe and sound
And it's free at last
But it's lost NOT found
And the cup is passed
When the slaves want just
What the masters have.

Shadow/Beauty Bereft

Oh, the wrenching loveliness
Of my crooked flight
The moist morning path
From the door to the car
That takes me away and back again
The truth intact again:
That I am a shadow
Oh, the jarring tenderness
Shown me from all points
I am grateful for it all
For every cut, every fall
I am a shadow
I am a shadow
I am a shadow you will dance with
I am the theory
And the practice
Oh the wrenching loveliness
Of my crooked flight
The moist morning path
From the dark to the light
I am grateful for it all
For every cut, for every fall.
I am a shadow
I am a shadow
I am the shadow you will dance with
I am the theory
And the practice
Of love.

Dark Dear Heart

Why in the dark dear heart
Have you come see me
Why in the world won't you save me
Why in the darkness do I see so clearly
You have not gone away
I dream of mine
Not lost in sleep
I'll call you down
Why in the dark dear heart
Have you come see me
Why in the world won't you save me
Why in the darkness do I see so clearly
You have not gone away
And it won't grow cold
Like so many memories do
Though you believe in me
You've bled me too
Somewhere not someone not something to have
to worry and cry them to stay
Then, then in the darkness
We'll see so clearly
We are not going away
I dream of mine
Not lost in sleep
I'll call you down
I'll call you down
