Cross An Ocean


Cross An Ocean

***

Went to the mountain
Climbed to the top
Heard your song
My storms did stop

Walked in the valley
Shadows fell away
Seeing my true nature
Night turned into day

I would, cross an ocean
If I thought it would bring me
Closer to you
I would, cross an ocean
In the darkness of these times
Your light shines through

People say I’m crazy
Say I’ve lost my mind
But you showed me my light
I’m no longer blind

If it takes me forever
For the rest of my days
I’ll realize your teachings
I’ll change my ways

I would, cross an ocean
If I thought it would bring me
Closer to you
I would, cross an ocean
In the darkness of these times
Your voice rings true

Where the waves crash
I’d build me a boat
I’d pray
That the boat would float

Captain through rain storms
Find you somehow
You lit a fire in my heart
That won’t go out

I would, cross an ocean
If I thought it would bring me
Closer to you
I would, cross an ocean
In my darkest hour
Your love pulled me through

In the darkness of these times
You’re the sun and the moon
For those who see
You’re a wishful filling jewel

I’d travel any distance
I’d crawl if I must
Cause the love you’ve awakened
Is the only love I trust

I would, cross an ocean
If I thought it would bring me
Closer to you
I would, cross an ocean
Your love is perfect.
It guides me through.

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. 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
