WHY NOT I ?
Angela Fine ©2003

In the world we make
With our minds that break
The Perfect formless
Unbroken Light
There's the paradox of no felt dilemma
When it looks so dark, but feels so "Bright"

I watch the clouds arise
In the vast blue sky
But The Perfect Sun
Still Shines
And It Pervades them without limit
And I presume that so should I

One of the best parts of this play is knowing you
I love the way you talk, and the things that you say
I really do

Well I dig your lips
And your finger tips
And I like the way you move
And your eyes so blue
And every hair upon your head
I'll place a rose upon your bed

In the world we make
With our minds that break
The Perfect formless
Unbroken Light
There's the paradox of no felt dilemma
The goddess laughs, so why not I ?


YOUR ISLAND
Angela Fine ©2003

On your island
Separated by miles of salt and sand
Do children leave their impressions
Or is it desolate, but for confessions
Of stolen tidewater
And wood that has only drifted in
But that you wanted to make something with
Maybe a nice pair of bookends
Though it was never yours to begin

On your island
The serpent circles the maya
Rudimentary patterns
Repeat, til at last they are shattered
Like broken crystal dreams, colors reflect
What's Unbroken, and Only Perfect
Unbound in love's light stream
You don't need to seek anything

(Inspired by Avatar Adi Da Samraj)

WOE IS ME
Angela Fine ©2003

Your reluctance is grieving me
Yet you're not leaving me, and
I have your number
And there's only one to call

Once I knew a fortune teller
Dressed like a woman, and looked like a feller
And I asked him to give me
His crystal ball

Whoa woe is me
I cannot tell the future
I cannot hold the things of this world
And I'm bewildered by its creatures
And I only know for certain
I'm bound to free fall

Well, I'm well rehearsed at love rejection
It seems to be my predilection
But I haven't the heart for it
no more

The director is calling me
And the curtain is falling
And I only know for certain
I don't know nothing at all

Well, there are lions
And then there are lambs
And I don't know which
One I am
But you have my number
And there's only one to call

Once I was a fortune teller
Had a big turban wrap and gee it was swell
And you gave me a dollar just to
Look at your palm

And I said woe is me
I can see the future
You cannot hold the things of this world
And you're bewildered by its creatures
And you only know for certain
You're bound to fall

Once I knew a fortune teller
Dressed like a woman, and looked like a feller
But the director is calling
And the curtain is falling
And I only know for certain
I don't know nothing at all


ONCE IN A WHILE
Angela Fine ©2003

Do you love Me ?
Really love Me ?
What, then, will you do ?

You may swim the deepest ocean
Tethered to a wave
But when you splashed upon My Feet
Would your heart still crave ?

If you brought Me flowers
I would surely Smile
But, could you think of Me more than
Once in a while ?

Do you love Me ?
Really love Me ?
What, then, will you do ?

You could climb the highest mountain
To meet Me face to face
But you would Only Find
That I had never left My Place

If you brought Me flowers
I would surely Smile
But could you think of Me more than
Once in a while ?

DREW
Angela Fine ©2003

Drew, you’re a man of substance
And quality, indeed
But you always gave too much
And never did receive
How can you expect me to believe
That it would only make you cool
Anyone who sleeps on nails
Does surely bleed

Drew, you think you’re a stranger
In this land of fools
But you are much too real
To walk in solitary shoes
And if you ever want things different
Then I’ll be standing here
I’ll be the one
Who gives to you

Drew, you’re a man of kindness
Quietly tending your garden
But another fellow hanging on a cross
Beat you to begging our pardon

NAKED
Angela Fine ©2003

The naked eye does not see far
It looks for meaning, it looks for something
It looks for truth inside a jar
It looks for love, and still sees nothing

Experience has only taught me
That it hasn't taught me well
And all the things I held dear
Never lasted, can't you tell

I stand naked in the Presence
Of The Master
Not in "heaven," but in "Brightness"
And full color of the Very Moment
there is no other

Layers have been torn away
Til you see the dark veil
Through which a light shines
Upon the myth of what's entailed

I stand naked in the Presence
Of The Master
Not in "heaven," but in "Brightness"
And full color of the Very Moment
there is no other

All the folly of this plastic yellow place
Is Outshined by The Very Divine
Source of Grace
In the face of infinity
It means nothing, nor do you and me

(All Praise to Avatar Adi Da Samraj)

Hanging
Angela Fine ©2003

You gave me just enough to keep me hanging on
And if I had a lick of sense, well I'd have been long gone
But I'm a fool for you, baby, and I see down to your core
And I'll gather your souls flowers, and display them on your door
Where the petals, they are named, And there's no one to blame
I love you, even still
And if the truth were ever known (although you wouldn't tell it)
You know I always will

You're a charmer, and a disarmer ; you tell everyone what they want to hear
And the discomfort of someone seeing you for what you think you are
Makes you keep them looking in the mirror
But I'm a fool for you, baby, and I see down to your core
And I've gathered my hearts flowers, and laid them on your floor
Where the petals blush and bloom, step lightly in the room
Oh, honey, I love you til it hurts
And if the truth were ever known (although you wouldn't tell it)
You're the only one who could ever quench my thirst
Well, the petals blush and bloom, step lightly in the room
Oh, I love you til it hurts
And if the truth were ever known (although you couldn't tell it)
No one but you would ever quench my thirst
