Harvest Moon Cleansing Tune
Darkness of tree shade and walls shield the bright moon for
now
Time flies away and we get old and gray and day turns to
night turns to day
Tomorrow is another strange opportunity for something or
nothing
Restlessly I watch and cringe at the images of ignorance
posing as pride
We only have those who are around
We only do what we can
Availability and Access
Seven powers the bird that flies the spared child to sea
Time keeps moving and changing and no one keeps time
Habit follows well worn paths and everyone follows habit
Mind directs body to move and do but what directs mind?
We are creatures of time habit mind
Howling dogs in one ear and rumbling thunder in the other
Outer and inner nature both call to our attention
Anger
Beautiful but Cold is the woman of my dreams
At the first twinkle of starlight there were clouds and no starlight so
all is subject to
availability
Causes and Conditions blah blah blah
One day is like the next
Predictably bland and unsatisfying
Samsara blah blah blah
I long for this and that
Desire blah blah blah
I cower and avoid this and that
Aversion blah blah blah
I ignore and fail to apply what I know
Ignorance blah blah blah
And yet the moon reigns in the storm
And I long for a day I can work and not sweat profusely
Comfort is subtle delicate balance unmaintainable
And yet we think we are up to the task
Harvest Moon
What is it that we harvest?
We take what we give in the raping fields of want and not
want
The auto-pilot of habitual action is our driver
Same old same old same old stolen moments falling away
Then back to the matrix of maintenance
Free time is fallacy, is time free?
Sun rises and falls and peaks in and out of clouds and this
becomes that becomes this
The wheel of time creates and destroys so that forever is
never in its field
What comes goes and what goes comes. But nothing really goes
or comes.
All that began will end so seek to know the beginningless.
