• everybody is so entangled in the madness of the world

  
  

  how much do you freely give to this world??

  
  

  are you a kindled light for the ones around you

  
  

  or are you a burden to yourself and others???

  
  

  is your door always opened to the ones that need you

  
  

  or do you pick and choose who to help to???

  
  

  do you accept others the way they are

  
  

  or do they have to accept you the way you are???

  
  

  do you know your neighbor's name??

  
  

  what does your neighbor know about you???

  
  

  the world is not going mad...

  
  

  the world is a perfect place

  
  

  it always has been...

  
  

  it's the way we relate to each other that makes it a mad place to live in...

  
  

  

  
  

  I've Come Here to Depart

  
  

  
  

  
  

  I haven't come here to settle down.
  I've come here to depart.
  I am a merchant with lots of goods,
  selling to whoever will buy.
  I didn't come to create any problems,
  I'm only here to love.
  A Heart makes a good home for the Friend.
  I've come to build some hearts.
  I'm a little drunk from this Friendship-
  Any lover would know the shape I'm in.
  I've come to exchange my twoness,
  to dissapear in One.
  He is my teacher. I am His servant.
  I am a nightingale in His garden.
  I've come to the Teacher's garden
  to be happy and die singing.
  They say "Souls which know each other here,
  know each other there."
  I've come to know a Teacher
  and to show myself as I am.
