Nothing is Evil 8/17/2019
Lay your hands on love
And bless the soul of darkness
Because nothing is evil 
Evil is the thirst
Of broken trust
Trying to quench its pain
From the open sea of life  
Dream 11/10/2020
Enter the space
Beyond the thoughts 
The energy of void 
The graveyard of doubts  
Enter the space beyond the pain
The fantasy of righteousness
The fallacy of shame  
Enter the space beyond the loss
Beyond the wound 
Beyond the cross  
Enter the space beyond the struggle
Beyond the fight 
With death’s looming bubble  
Enter the space beyond the lies
The new, the old
Told by blind eyes  
Beyond the darkness, beyond the fall
Listen deeply
Hear the call
The sound of the ancients
The tribe of truth
The echoes of source
The essence of YOU
