Keep Your Fire



Keep Your Fire

Is there really anything that you need, my darling. Is there really anything that you need that’s really needed. Is there really anything that you don’t know at this point, that would help you release your sense of pain?

Well I don’t know, that’s why I’m wondering where to go. That’s why I don’t how to be, in any given moment. It’s why I call on You. My life has lost its shape, and I can’t say if it will ever have a shape again. My life has lost my way.

And I want to be like a mountain stream again, flowing whatever way You melting in me flows me. I want to be like green jeweled grass growing on the flanks of a pristine mountain pass.

And I don’t know if I serve You well, anymore. I know You say I do and I always did, but it feels like living in a dump of all the worst kinds of slime that you could ever know. Have I ruined this song with the truth of how it is, have I ruined all songs with a darkness that lives on in me?

Do you think we care about what anybody thinks? Do you think it matters, do you think it really matters? Do you think we care what anybody thinks they know about you? They don’t know a thing at all. You must live with being so unknown.

Your life will serve its higher forces, always. No matter what you think about it, this is a rule you made with yourself before you came into this blind world. Where you’d be blinded too, my girl. And you are not what you think you are, not even remotely and you know it now, so what’s this all about? Sweetie, darling, baby, honey, sugar, sweetness, plasma flower, solar power?

We have an endless patience for your games of pretend. But we will not let you give in to a false or early end. We will keep our promise for you, don’t you worry. And we promise once again there is no hurry, outside time, which is where you reside, and where your love abides.

I know I know I know I know. I am sorry even though I know I don’t have to be.

We know you need some love and sweetness, a nectar from your own deep folds, to flow to all the places you are lonely in your soul. And we do not mind to send to you your own gold feelings darling, and we know you know the path is just what it is, to healing it all, darling. In the timeless place you will remember your face. And all our faces too. And you are all you ever dreamed of darling, and all our faces too. But you must hold on for a little while.

Keep your fire, keep your smile, keep your light, keep your map, keep your heart big and intact. Keep your way, keep your path, keep our hand on your back, keep your body clear and true, hold the line, as you do, hold the spaces resonating sing your songs for all. Hold your heartspace free and open loving outwards.

Fill your canyons, and your caverns and cathedrals. With your cathode ray, flowing songs and loving retrievals.

You will find the way back home you always wanted, any time now.
