Upon the Wind
to the edge of the world I have travelled
saltwater ice in my beard
the stranger I see reflected
hair as white as the snow on the pier
these lonely hands as rough as the rope
tremble but always hold fast…
sometimes in a far away harbor
sheltered from the stormy sea
I’d risk life and limb to be out in the wind
pull anchor, set sail again
these eyes that squint through the sun and the wind
cried their last tears long ago…
that night I found you in a fever
to the doc, cross the channel we flew
the storm carried on as you died in my arms
I turned us toward the open sea
and as long as I stand I’ll not stand on land
a whisper is calling to me…
my heart flies free from my body
to follow you upon the wind
cold and alone the storm rages on
and my heart flies over the waves
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
The Dalai Lama
Last Lonely Eagle
IF YOU GO DOWN WHERE THE LIGHTS
PUSH THE NIGHTTIME
BACK FAR ENOUGH SO YOU CAN’T FEEL THE FEAR
REMEMBER THE BOY WHO YOU LEFT ON THE MOUNTAIN
WHO’S SITTING ALONE WITH THE STARS AND HIS TEARS
IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE GAS-POWERED FLATLAND
WHERE MOST OF THE PEOPLE JUST THINK
THAT THEY’RE FREE
REMEMBER THE PEACE THAT YOU HAD
ON THE MOUNTAIN
COME BACK TO THE LOVE THAT YOU HAD HERE WITH ME
AND TAKE A LAST, FLYING LOOK
AT THE LAST LONELY EAGLE
HE’S SOARING THE LENGTH OF THE LAND
SHED A TEAR FOR THE FATE
OF THE LAST LONELY EAGLE
FOR YOU KNOW THAT HE NEVER WILL LAND
John Dawson (New Riders of the Purple Sage)
Interrelationship
You are me, and I am you.
Isn’t it obvious that we “inter-are”?
You cultivate the flower in yourself,
so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself,
so that you will not have to suffer.
I support you;
you support me.
I am in this world to offer you peace;
you are in this world to bring me joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh
