When
I look at you

When
I look at you
I
see so much of You
do
you see it all
look
at you
A
container, a body
filled
with muscles and bones
Maybe
even a little more
Thoughts,
feelings
Memories,
experiences
longing,
desire, sadness and
disappointment
Love,
Happiness
success,
warmth, compassion.
Yes,
even that
When
you look at you
When
I look at you...
how
complex you are
and
yet so uncomplicated
If
only you knew
Afraid
of reality?
is
that why you're hiding
soul,
spirit, mind,essence
feelings,
thoughts
So
many strings of emotions
your
unique ways
the
good and the bad
...being...
When
I look at you
(am
I too close?)
I
forget...
you
don't know me
but...
don't
worry
When
I look I can't help seeing
When
I listen I can't help hearing
not
what you are saying,
what
you want to say
not
what you're asking,
what
you want to know
Not
what you want me to see
but
what you are
when
I look I feel
So
many strings of emotions
so
much greater than you think you are
(even
though you think you are)
so
much Better than you behave yourself
(even
though you think you do well)
so
much more, if you'd only be
so
more fun, if you'd only let go
Look
at you
I
sometimes forget...
It's
you I'm looking at
If
only I knew
I
know

Jouw
zee
Is
altijd Kalm
Hoge
licht -en liefde doorlatende muren
Niets
anders kan er doorheen
Het
rustige water kalm deinend over de bodem van de aarde
Spoelt
over het zand
Trekt
zich terug
Alles
in de orde waarin het bedoeld is
Altijd
kalm
Al
lijkt wat je ziet stormachtig en wild
Kijk
nog eens want het is een illusie
Meeuwen
zweven boven je
Wachtend
op hun kans voor prooi
Zoveel
dreigingen
Of
toch niet?
Toch
niet.

| BREATH |
Up above and down below
It's something all know
who walk the path of the Heart
You gotta BREATH
Filling your longs with Divine AIR
cleanses your being from despair
Leaving behind all negative thought
keeping you away from the one God
BREATH
Call him Lord
Call him Allah
Call him God
Call him the one who lives within
Just call Him
Call him anything that keeps you inspired
But please just Respire
BREATH |

Went
home,
took
with me nothing.
Died
a few times,
floating
in space.
Came
back to fulfill
Adapting
Still
floating in space?
Fully
alive,
my
joyous core
United
with all
Ending
the game
Peacefully
Truthfully

| Seeing

Insensitive soul |
Come with me
Lock
into
my energy
Don't
be
afraid
You
wanna
see something great?
Let
me show
you
it's
YOU
Take
your
time
Don't
rush
it
Far
away
from that which isn't true
Can
you see
it?
Do
you feel
it?
Wait
It's
penetrating your core
Finding
it's way into your heart
your
soul
All
of a
sudden...there it is
Open
the
door and step into the room
you
didn't
know was there before
Enjoy
Life,
Live, Love
Feel
Here
there
are no limitations |
Oh
you insensitive soul
Did
you really think
there
were no consequences?
Did
you forget?
Such
a long time ago
A
long way away from home
Yet
it was only seconds before
How
convenient
to forget
You
insensitive soul
Walking
dead
How
could you abandon your soul
Fear
is your companion
Such
a trusty feeling
Never
to become whole

| The waiting room
(18-10-10) |
Body Human |
Angels waiting
Calmly
for their
Time
to come
Waiting
to reconnect
Is the
world ready
for
such a timeless act?
I have
been here before
I'm
just not sure
this
time
it's
gonna hatch
This
Seed of Love
anchored
deep in to every cell
I
know, I know it well. |
My
body, my body
Why won't you let go
even though you know
Is it because you think it will be the end
of you?
'Cause you know things
will only just begin
Or
is it because you don't know what to
do?
My
human, my human
Still fear the crossing?
Even though you know
Why
don't you just let go
When
it's time it will happen
Without
the least of effort
When
it's time things will flow
Transform
and
become new
Yes,
yes, even you!

| Beacon |
No strings attached |
|
Tumultuous
world, people looking for their way home
Pages
flying empty yet so much to say
Find
your tune, assemble your orchestra, play!
A
life of blossom is given to you
Yet
beware your choices
Make
sure they're True
For
although steps to be taken are not written in stone
and
paths to be travelled may lead you to home,
the
steps marked in sand overlap, creating the canvas of your soul
this
is your map
It's
not what's out there that you should be
It
is what you are that you should see
...
healed
May
the waters of heaven be your beacon and nurture you
Emerging
you into the comfort of Love
...Save
Find
your story and make each word be worth the light of day
Maturing
bird, freedom seeker, Love every living being like you are Loved
Waiting...
then actions bold and undeterred for the beautiful days on your way
Book
of limitless possibilities refreshing breath
You
write your own story, you walk your own path.

Walking
freely, so you think.
But
the world is closing in on you,
before
you even begin.
A
life full of countless blessings.
That's
what you were going for, so why wait?
No
strings attached is what you live by.
But
it's all about what you create!
There
are no strings because you are attached to all.
Don't
be afraid to cross, surely you won't fall.
|
| Sleep
no more |
Oh All, Shake us
Shake us hard off from the grounds
we dwell on
Asleep during the day
Asleep during the night
Shake us hard
So hard we stop creating this
illusion we dwell in
and call life
Our souls lay dead in our beds
Our souls walk dead in the streets
Shake us, Awake us
So we can see the beauty that
surrounds us
So we can feel your ever lasting
Love that binds us
So we can know: no more, no more
Surrender
to let go and it will all be done
Sleep no more. |
| The other side
of the
track |
Fool's
gold |
First
you've experienced behind the wall
Then
you've experienced the other side when you fall
You
get to wear the prettiest veil
You
get to watch the unraveling of a wicked tail
You
followed everyone but your self
Without
even realizing how captive you were held
Sold
out every ounce of your soul for cash
Now
all you're left with is a terrible rash
Soul's
itching but you can't scratch
Wished
you could crawl back to where you first hatched
Cover
up your foolish tracks
Let
All take you back
|
Flickering in the sunlight
Blinding the crowd
A trap they made for their lives
covered with a beautiful shroud
None can tell the way it was before
Or how it all could have gotten so off shore?! |
|
Bitter
fruits
|
Fearless |
Your
fruits, ripe and tasty
Juices
flowing out of your mouth
when
you eagerly take a bite
Your
fruits, bitter and rancid
tasting
like acid
when
you try to make them my delight
Your
soil great in measures as far as the eye can reach
Your
soil barren, cold and limited
For
me there's nothing you could teach
Empty,
walking but standing still
Talking
but only silence to kill
Your
laws, rightful and just to you
lacking,
short sighted, unjust to me
Your
system, progressive to you
bounding
and aggressive to me
Wake
up, open your mind
Wake
up and taste the sweet fruits
that
ripen you to full bloom
See
your land developed without you ploughing
Your
heart completed without you yearning
Your
system dissolved
integrated
without you striving
|
Fearless, standing tall
Soul straight as an arrow
Slate clean as a whistle
Ready for the call
Fearless, grabbing rays of light
so tight
they're crushed into diamonds
glistering in the sea of the spotless soul
Making me whole
Ready to be ready
Fearless, signs showing the way
forward, right, left
Never back
Laid down for me to follow
Goals always met
never hollow
Fearless, for when started this game
is to win
since this game knows no other way
but fearless you must remain
if you want to stay

I
see you standing there
Wondering
which way to go
Know
that you already know
You
can go anywhere, high or low
Silver
wings carry you
This
is what you came here to do
So
please please please stay a while
Don't
let them discourage you
and try
If you
take the high or low
Know
that you already know
The
low will get you to be cold
The
high will carry you in a flow
Silver
wings carry you
This
is what you came here to do
So
please please stay a while
Don't
let them discourage you
Don't
die |
| Cut the
crap |
Smile |
Sharpen
your axes
Here I
come
Straighten
your legs
Be
ready to run
To your
freedom
Which
you always had
is the
road that lies ahead
Right
or left
Cut the
crap
It's
cutting time
of
bounds and straps

He
looked around
but
couldn't see
He
searched for it
but
didn't find
Then
one day he looked deeper
and
saw he was no more confined
He's
found a smile |
| Gust
of wind |
Eyes on the road |
A gust
of wind is all it takes
The
bird doesn't know when the time comes
for the
feather to make way
and
give a new one a role to play
But
when the bird has no more use for it,
it's
time to let the feather go
Let it
be a thing upon which the wind could blow
Along
comes that gust of wind
and
away flies the feather free
Carried
by the whims of the weather
The
only thing the feather knows,
is that
it will be lead to a warm home
and the
bird will still be wearing it's beautiful clothes
|
Fast lane, slow
lane, no lane
Hovering,
covering, recovering
Making
sense, less- sense, non- sense
Sensing
everything
Making
you insane, so sane
Keep
your eyes on the road
Before
you reload
Aiming
at the core before you score
You're
torn
What
a waist didn't had eyes on the lane
So
before you knew it it fried your brain
You
were born |
| I am/Infinite |
Dive in |
Have you ever wondered why you are?
Have you ever wondered what you are?
Have you ever wondered whether you are?
Have you ever wondered if you have possessed?
Have you ever wondered what you have?
Have you ever wondered why you have?
Know that you are.
Know that whoever you are you are free.
Know that you are because of love.
Know that you don't possess.
Know that you have it all.
Know that you have because you are.
|
There she was,
waiting for the chance
to dive in to the water
But the water wasn't there...
yet
Dive in anyway they said,
the water will come in due time
It will be there when you reach it
in time for you to dive into it |
| Gevangen in vrijheid | Captive in freedom |
Uren, dagen, weken, maanden, jaren,
eeuwen gingen er voorbij.
Ontelbare momenten gegrift
in het geheugen, verlangend naar
een zucht van vrijheid.
Slechts een zucht was wat hij wilde.
Maar een zucht van vrijheid is
als een beetje liefde.
Het onmetelijke gevangen in een
keurslijf van maat.
Een beetje liefde.
Een beetje vrijheid.
Een gevangenis van maat.
Hij was gelukkig met zijn tevredenheid,
maar niet vrij genoeg om voor het
ultieme bevrijdende gelukzaligheid te gaan.
Gevangen in zijn verlangen dat een doel
op zich is geworden, bleef hij
uren, dagen weken, maanden, jaren, eeuwen
gevangen in vrijheid.
|
Hours, days, weeks, months, years,
centuries went by.
Countless moments engraved in memory,
yearning for a hint of freedom.
Just a hint was what he wanted.
But a hint of freedom is as
a little love.
The immeasurable held captive in a
container of measurement.
A little bit of love.
A little bit of freedom.
A prison of measure.
He was satisfied in his contentment, but not
free enough to reach for the full liberating
glory of bliss.
Imprisoned in his desire which became
a goal itself, he stayed hours, days, weeks,
months, years, centuries, captive in freedom.

| Some kind of Stupid | Drop |
Diputs was the name
of a community that found them selves
far away from where they came
A brain moving their body
without going forward
Who wouldn't feel sorry?
The Diputs did some stupid shit
Day in day out they tried their luck
without a chance to make a hit
they ended up getting stuck
They were made of flesh,
had a beating heart
Yet still each one lived apart
Yearning for the warmth
they made an artificial bond
and killed all that was real
just to make sure they wouldn't kneel
It has cost them their heart
They forgot their source
because they fell asleep
But now, who's going to heal the seal?
|
First drop fell in the center
Second fell on the left
Third on the right
And on it went all night
Center, left, right
Center, left, right
Center, left, right
Nothing fell in between nor
on any other spot
it was the routine
yet full was the plane
by the time it had stopped |
| Shine Realness! | Walk on by |
Keep it Real!
Always reveal
the true soul
you carry with you
Let it shine
Let it thrive
'cause that's the
reason you're still alive
Don't cover up
Don't stand in line or lie
with all the billions
who are dead and dry
Shine in reality
Don't let them tell you
it's insanity
Know that it's all Divinity
You feel it's right
When you hear the beat
of your heart singing to you
“It's never hard”
You feel the love of all creation
when your back is straightened
by true dignity and liberation
|
Some walk by the flesh
Some walk by the soul
Little rest to walk by the flesh
Always whole to walk by the soul |
| Sick of it |
No, no, no!
Tell me about what's positive.
Not about the things that make you sick of it.
You found it yet?
All right let's have it
So we can relax and loose the baggage. |
| Seeer | Do you ever wonder |
Seeer, seeer, what do you see?
A tree with leafs as green as beans.
Dreamer, dreamer, what do you dream?
To be as free as dreams can be.
Lover, lover, what do you love?
A light so bright that shines as I.
Fearer, fearer, what do you fear?
I fear the tears of dreams not revealed.
Enlightened, enlightened, what do you enlighten?
I shine the light of love that unites.
|
Do you ever wonder why you sit around and ponder?
We are swimming in a sea of endless opportunities
Countless blessings coming our way every day
Yet we sit around and say "come what may".
We are director, actor, creator
We don't have to wait for things to change and say
I hope, I want, I wish in a desperate rage.
The elements, the animals, the naturals, all are ready for our call
For the day we start collaborating with them all
Saying I know, I have, It is so.
Let's all be united in our goal to grow
and get to know the power bestowed. |
| Mist | Container |
Flocks herding together
in the presumed safety
of the fellow species
Only to see
when the mist clears
that the other isn't a brother
Drops of water
evaporating towards the beautiful blue sky
joining each other
only to see that when all of them combine
the sight of heaven
is taken from their eyes
Only one stands in front of the gate
before entering
Only One unites with All Divinity
Only One makes part of the whole
Only One is enough to clear
the mist and bind All
|
We must learn to love
without the container
Feel what love really feels like
in its true form,
in its formlessness
Containers reduce love to form
Love at birth
Love at death
Love for a lover, brother, mother
Love's form doesn't depend on its receiver
Love is always constant
Always the same
Always nurturing
Doesn't evoke anything else but love
True, eternal, nurturing. |
| Stilte | Money, money, money |
Luide stemmen fluisteren
naar de wind
De wind hoorde hen aan
alsof ze hoorde hoe het begon
Een wijsheid die alleen het
luide gefluister kent
Een wijsheid van weten wie je bent
Zo begon het lang geleden,
maar toch nu hier in het heden,
met de kracht van een stem
waarvan de gedachten fluisterden:
“Wij zijn”,
“Wij zijn”,
en ze waren.
Ze waren samen en toch ieder één
Gemaakt uit het luide gefluister
naar de wind
Ergens hier diep binnenin
is deze wetenschap
en dat laat ons nimmer leeg
|
All the systems that are in place
extinct without delay
Were you meant to be enslaved
by wages that hardly sustain?
Money, supposed to be for even exchange
Now it has gotten you all deranged
Not to speak of it's phantom value
or interest rate
Praying to a Paper god
Defined by our bank accounts
Like zombies we progress
Day in day out without a sound
our morals digressed, we fully obsess
So let us assess how to get out of this mess
New ways ought to be sought
we can't keep holding our eyes shot
|
| Power | The center |
I am flesh, blood, bone,
Spirit and Soul
Buried deep into the core of my Mother
Reaching far up absorbing the rays of my Father
Infinitely Powerful
Infinitely Beautiful
Infinitely Truthful
Connecting the connections
Liberating the liberated
Finding the found
Uniting the Whole
Easing the peaceful
Illuminating the light
All where the power resides. |
When you're in the center of it all
spin around and see all the scenes of life's cuisine
But hold on tight!
Get dizzy and you might need some morphine
for what you see might not have a vaccine
when you fall in the distractions that seem so real
You might use a bright light a candle or whatever you can handle
at the end of the day be sure your soul's lit
to make this ride a delight and all the pieces fit
Is it better on the edge
where you can overlook the ledge?
Where you can see the roots of creation,
finally find some liberation?
Or is it better in the center
where all concentrates before you enter
In the middle for a 360 degree show?
Who knows...
|
| Life | Time |
Life itself doesn't have any value
It's what you do with it that creates its worth or dearth
Life it self is empty, just a shell
waiting for you
And when you decide to come to earth,
You can choose to let it pass away, go by like a one day fly,
or you can fill it with all the wonders you pick up on your way
before it's time to end your stay
Life itself doesn't have any value
No rules set in stone that say you should live it this way
and this way alone
Life itself is incomplete, created by all the players you meet
But the outer experiences are only that.
It is still you who decides who's staying for truth to replenish your roots
or who's to forget
Life consists of what you can see, hear, feel,
isn't that what we agreed to agree?
Walk a bit farther to where it seems you can't take it any further
and you'll see a world opening beyond sight, sound or physical sensation
Where you decide the speed, space and acceleration
Where life itself is all and nothing,
you; alone and united, beyond grieve
Life itself is what you believe
|
Once I knew you.
You never left my side.
We've been together for so long,
Now I can't imagine you back in my life.
It's a good thing I let go
to be free of the pace of fast and slow.
Now gentle, easy, natural is the pace of the flow.
You will pass.
You will loop again and again.
I will still be there, but
I won't hold your hand.
I will be free of looking to catch up with you too.
So, time my friend, we part at last. |
Sit 'n See | |
