Marble Blue

The ground begins to race along

Creates a path to move upon

Tree limbs reach out to point the way

Stars guide by night, birds by day


Journey with me on this marble blue

Experience every sound; every hue

Let go of self, become the motion

Move with the tide, be an ocean


Drift and wander wherever you can

Ditch the calendar; scrap the plan

Sink into sleep, immersed in dream

Swirling with your brain jet-stream


Escape the boxes, tear down fences

Drop the façade and learned defenses

Rip away conformists glue

Realize you’re the only you


Side-step anything contrary

Remember it’s all temporary

Focus on the path before you

Lift up others, help them pull through


Forgive those who’ve deeply cut

Rise above the grudgers rut

Laugh and smile and cry and feel

Join me on this plane surreal


Step into a grander light

Soar on clouds above in flight

Float to Heaven on a chariot ride

With eternal joy you shall abide

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
