Gift

***

I can't accept this gift 
It's far too heavy for me to carry
Why of all things
Is it this that you give me? 

No, no, no, no. 
Don't really know
Do you expect me to believe
In truth in truth in truth 
You really loved me

Why is it so hard to accept reality? 
Why is it so hard to be free? 

No, no, no, I don't really know
Do you expect me to believe 
In truth in truth in truth 
You really loved me

The Moon it still rises 
But its face has changed
The sun still dawn's 
As it enters day

And I move move move
Toward the way
Living from
The inside
The inside

No, no. No
I don't really know. 
Do you expect me to believe
That in truth in truth in truth
You really loved me 

No, no. No, I don't really know
Do you expect me to believe 
that truth and truth and truth
You really loved me

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 ...
