In Waves We Go Under


We hid in the caves

We played in the waves

We swam until we

Could swim no more

 

I reached for your hand

My hair filled with sand

Sun Shining down

On the shore

 

Like children in flight

Hearts filled with delight

We loved until

Our spirits did soar

 

Lost in your brown eyes

My heart was so high

I held you

And asked for no more

 

Before the threshold

In new days of old

Your smile filled mere

With love so pure

 

With you on this beach

I know we could reach

To brothers and sisters

Ashore

 

So hear the pied piper

The fruit it grows riper

I love you

I know that I’m sure

 

So come take my hand

We’ll travel the land

And love

Until we can love no more

 

Written by David Penn on the coast of Ecuador in 1992

But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
