When Love is What you Speak (Surf the Everlasting)
4/11/19
Time and space matter little
When the language you speak is love
Sliding in and out of these body suits
Fitted like a glove
As per these impressions
Of forget desires born
Thinking it lies out there
Emotions, tattered and torn
Disappointments and triumphs
Roles we played well worn
Mistaking the drama for the truth
And the costumes we adorn
Tears of memories flooding
Pathways of love and loss
Ironic how it takes this, finally
To feel what you always tried to get across
Hold your hand in the driveway
The sun kisses our skin
The warmth is so engrossing
Time wears the flesh so thin
Abiding in the silence
Only passing through
And this is what it’s all about
This moment spent with you
And this is what it’s all about
This moment spent with you
The roles have been reversed now
The man becomes a child
And the boy is fumbling to be here
And here, here we’ve reconciled
Could it really be
Is this all just a dream
Wake me from this madness
Nothing’s what it seems
And yet somehow
It’s all so incredibly sublime
We dance across dimensions
Part of the grand design
Brilliant beyond conception
Shimmering, imperfections
The roads and intersections
Companions and reflections
I don’t know much of anything
This much I’m sure I know
But if there’s one thing I have learned
With love all things do grow
I close my eyes and draw inward
The setting starts to fade
All these walls and all these falls
Of consciousness they’re made
Mistaken identities
Concepts and density too
Stretch, become so porous
That light can pass right through
How we became entangled
I haven’t got a clue
But we navigate the lessons
To remember what is true
Everything is passing
Like waves they rise and fall
We surf the everlasting
On love, it conquers all
Love it is the answer
When all is said and through
Revealed in a single moment
This moment spent with you
The journey home is calling
Of gold the road is paved
Signs of ancient memories
Upon the door engraved
Passing through the zero
It’s here we meet again
My father and my hero
My teacher and best friend
And all these years later
Has time it passed at all
Rainbow colors, floating
Like tree leaves in the fall
So many times I’ve died
But I’ve never really lived
And the message once again clear
“You’ve got so much to give”
The form I knew, no longer
Yet still this adoring, resolute shove
Time and space matter little
When the language you speak is love
