THE ALCHEMY OF RE-EMERGING
It's sorcery
Like twigs on the tree of life
Dancing in the shadows of an unending dream
A sacred shimmering
Energies made flesh
We come
And again
It's sorcery
Like the wind
We are
An invisible presence made manifest
We come
Singing like a Bumble Bee
A force on an intangible mission
It's sorcery
And when we're "on"
We are
Swift like the Hummingbird
Or slow
Stable icons, strong like the Coco Palm
At best
Humankind comes
Magnificent
Shattering the stillness of the night sky
Full of divine Light & promise
Alive with the gift of holistic magic
If only this time
We don't forget to keep our egos in check
We, finally free
Free to be the beauty we were meant to be
A radiant sorcery
A new beginning
And the hope of another Spring

SOLO UN ACTO DE CARIDAD
Cuando canta la Luna
Llora el Sol
¡Enfurecido!
Su gran egoísmo perdido entre dos luces
Pobrecito pucheron aparatoso
Echando bocanadas de envidia
Intimidado sin cesar por celos
Pero embrujado por su belleza silenciosa
Y encantado por el milagro de su regalo maravilloso
Y se dice el Viento
¡Que bueno esta nuestra naturaleza pasmosa!
Un ciclo humilde y sencillo
¡Ay bendito! … ¡Mira!
Que rica es
Dicen las estrellas
No hay una noche tan perfecta como esta
¡Coño! … Que tristesa
Dice el amanecer
Lo que tenemos es un mundo limpio, llena de belleza
Y todavia
Anegando en su propia arrogancia
La raza humana
Una raza confundida y sin corazón y
Engordándose de comer su gran falta de gratitud y
Disfrutándolo sin pensar
Ni una gota pequeñita de ternura en las venas
Pura sangre congelada
No puede ver
No quiere ver
Sentados cómodamente y ciegos en sus propios mundocitos
Sangrando condescendencia
Y se dicen
Ríendo en nuestras barbas
¿La Naturaleza? … ¡No Me digas!
Nada más que otra pérdida de tiempo precioso
¿A quien le importa esa bla bla bla?
Tirando más y más y más bochinche y hablando de ná
Solo un otro ciclo tan simple
¿¡¿Y que vale este?!?
Si existe
Solamente porque le mantengo la conexión

JUST AN ACT OF CHARITY
When the Moon sings
The Sun cries
Burning red hot with rage
Its overwhelming egotism lost in the Twilight
Pompous & pouting & looking pitiful
Puffed out of shape with envy
Completely intimidated by jealousy
But enchanted by her silent beauty
And charmed by the extraordinary miracle of her gift
And the Wind says
Mother Nature is astonishing
A humble, unassuming cycle
Aaaah … look!
It's exquisite
The Stars say
There is no Night as perfect as this one
Dammit, how sad!
Says the Dawn
We have a World that's full of pure beauty
And still
The Human Race
A race drowning in its own arrogance
Confused & heartless & making themselves fat
Eating too much of their own lack of gratitude &
Enjoying the whole thing without even a thought
Not one drop of tenderness in their veins
Blood frozen cold
Can't see
Doesn't want to see
Sitting comfortably blind in their own little worlds
Bleeding condescension & laughing in our faces
Saying,
Mother Nature?!? … You gotta be kidding!
Who cares about all this bla bla bla?
Just another waste of time
Throwing around more & more & more gossip
And talking about nothing
It’s just another simple cycle &
How much can this one thing really be worth?!?
If it only exists
Because I don't pull the plug?!?

IN THE GARDEN OF ECSTASY
Ecstasy
is
A forest of Guitars
Dancing thru Rainbows
with
Nights full of typewriters
&
Days that taste like Piña
Ecstasy
is
An ocean of Clarinets
playing
Jazz & Street Music
Harlem Mambo Music
A rainbow of Music
A shower of Flute Songs
whose
only meaningful job
is
Purifying the path
to
Ecstasy
