Once your heart gives birth
to love pure and true
once you submit to its ancient wisdom
allowing it to nourish you
tenderly it leads and
your life is forever changed
it may turn you inside-out
challenge your most time-honored beliefs
its heart that brings you blessings
heart that puts a knowing smile upon your face
but for all its Beauty, for all its Truth
no matter how joyous we may feel
its heart we betray
we return to that shallow way
that has no depth, no soul
that shallow way that knows not passion
that shallow way, halting in step
freezes in fear
in trepidation calculates
give it no thought tho
we mortals have not eyes to see
our metaphysics, reason, protects us
instills in us a sense-common
which denies seeing and being
its only Nature's Child, God's holy child
that defies reason
but not
no, not you and me
to love pure and true
once you submit to its ancient wisdom
allowing it to nourish you
tenderly it leads and
your life is forever changed
it may turn you inside-out
challenge your most time-honored beliefs
its heart that brings you blessings
heart that puts a knowing smile upon your face
but for all its Beauty, for all its Truth
no matter how joyous we may feel
its heart we betray
we return to that shallow way
that has no depth, no soul
that shallow way that knows not passion
that shallow way, halting in step

instills in us a sense-common
