Earthbound. All I have is this moment
Earthbound. All I have is this moment
What′s that calling?
Do you hear that, what's that sound?
I can′t make it out, the volume, so quiet yet so loud
Profound, when I try to listen, it disappears
Then when I avert my attention, there it is again in my ears
Can you hear it, too?
Or maybe I'm not describing it clearly to you
Because it's not entirely clear to me
For you to see, try to picture a river rushing open into a beach
With a fever flushing your cheeks measured at one hundred and four degrees
When does the brain seize? At a hundred and six, turned to mush
So what you see in this consciousness in being close to death you are much
More alive than you could ever wish
Almost as if psilocybin mushrooms had been ingested
And in this clear levelheadedness there is no means of panic
But staring into the ocean, you are awoken, and you can manage
For the first time in this eerie silence
To feel the presence of the planet that forever surrounds
The balance
What′s that calling?
Do you hear that, what′s that sound?
I can't make it out, the volume, so quiet yet so loud
Astounded, I stand in awe
Confounded by what I heard, contradicting what I saw
I observe no motion, not a movement has taken place
Yet unexpected silence, soothing, has left me amazed
Wait, listen... sssshhhh, there it is
So crisp, clean, clear
Thick, distinct, in sync with the ringing in my ear
That I often hear, from meditation
The sound of silence bouncing, but with the softest reverberation
An anti-vibration, resonating in the air
An unfamiliar frequency speaking to me
If that could comprehensibly occur
The most taut sound possible, that′s what I heard
What is that calling?
Why, I think it's the Earth
Hurting under attack by symbiotic parasites, urging me to find a cure
Offering me in return, infinite chaotic insight
Word
Now I′ve got this pain in my brain, but it's not a migraine
Like I had a thought too strange to maintain, way out of range
A wavelength beyond my comprehension
So in order to stay sane, my brain brought painful protection
As a distraction from whatever it was I was thinking
This thoughtful rejection left me and thoughtless reflection, blinking
Sinking into the absence of thought, meditation
Pure observation from my spot, no persuasion
Not the slightest flex from a brain racing with anticipation craving what′s next
But rather a contentment, the peace of satisfaction
Of knowing nothing, no attachments, no emotional connections
No questions, no reaction
Every breath I breathe, whenever my heart beat
Respiration, the intoxicating sensation of oxygen fills me
Life fills like me like miniature windmills within my inner biological circuitry
Surfacing once again upon release of carbon energy
Transfer to leaves, photosynthesis, through stem to twig to branch to tree
To the inner trunk, like rings in a stump
Light brings life, which in turn completes each and every month into season
And the moon comes and goes
Like leaves in deciduous forest, as evergreens persevere through snow
Frozen H2O, H, Hydrogen falls from heights
Once hot steam, now cold ice to liquid state
In soil where it comes to soak with nutrients of decomposed life, to grow, and in this way
The earth maximizes life as the sun provides heat
There is a proportion to which, naturally, animals and plants must exist, balancing
Carbon and oxygen mixed in the ozone
Although humans insist there's no need to consider this
We don't really know
We shall eventually pay if we persist, we′ve already exceeded the capacity of our own home
And burned a hole through the dome, that protects us
While our brain′s deprived of oxygen collect dust, and we neglect trust
So the love expected of us seems as if it could never been, if ever was
And the natural rate at which we evolve can't keep up
So, I must speak up
As long as time is constant
Experience is forgotten
Open minds will harden
And like fruit turns rotten
Faith will soften
But slow time, slow your mind
And grow smart, from what is taught inside
Imagination is the key to knowledge of self
Inspiration helps to see this contains all else
All that of which is man-made, but distracts and accumulates with details and is not to be
Sought after in search of prophecy
For divine inspiration is required for divine revelation
Thus, clear communication with the astral population
Must be established, eliminating, limited sensual communicating
That the purpose may be revealed and the obvious may be fulfilled
To yield all that is inexplicable with the inevitable turning of the wheel
Humans have the brain capacity to focus energy and create thoughts
But it seems there are certain instructions that we forgot
I′m just thinking, something you can't define, the vase unlimited reaches of my mind
Feeling confined, to the speed of my speech
So don′t ask for an explanation when you already know what it is I mean
It's hard to fit words to exactly what I′m feeling
And I talk a lot, but sometimes silence is more revealing
Think about it, take a deep breath and think
Or rather, do not
Meditation could be focus, but it's only controlled thought
From cold to hot, from pain to joy
Maintaining balance is a challenge in this void
You'll never catch me in a church saying prayers, kneeling
Because I have my own means of spiritual healing
The creator knows everything, knows what I′m thinking
Knows my hopes, my fears, my motivation, my reasoning
Living is more than believing
And life is but a dream in the grand scheme of things
So I′m still receiving what I'm giving
Guiding strings and threads in the pattern of life′s weaving
Everything exists, just not all on once
Eliminate time and space, and yes, it does
The next dimension, I've been there and back
No need to mention the impact, but I′m in tact
I have freed my spirit from my temple
To understand experience is essential
There lies much more than the eyes can see
Close your eyes and explore, soar and fly, high and free
I am a dreamer, but don't think that makes me weak
For dreams foretell the future if you interpret the way they speak
To be conscious while asleep is the deeper reality
Look before you leap and become a casualty
Because much more matters see, than mere mortal operations
The soul lives eternally, peep your own meditations
People of other nations, and all over the earth
With dispersed populations, learn your true worth
Control your soul first, before you expire
Physical feelings of hurt, don′t pertain to those higher
I am no liar, nor am I prophet
Only driven by the desire to dream, and so I offer it
Just because this is how it is, doesn't mean this is how it has to be
Don't be afraid of change when the prior conditions are killing you drastically
This isn′t blasphemy
For each and every situation
I find the speaker′s motivation
And through this feeling of relation
We remain in affirmation
So a heated conversations
Is eased by mere observation
No need to compromise intention
If you realize we all head the same direction
Evolution, the next step, telepathy
No more need the words, feeling empathy
Humans are weak, because of lack of expression
Open your minds to this healthy suggestion
Free your energy from past memory and emotion
Consider spiritual devotion
We can do anything we try, but we must believe, or die
If I could make the sun rise, I'd let it dawn on it′s own
The meaning of life cannot be told
Behold, 'tis greater than diamonds and gold
′Tis greater than time, ages old
'Tis greater than words can hold
I find myself wanting to stare into the sun like a crazy man
If I could figure it out, I could do what few can
And expand beyond what words can describe
And understand what makes an animal strive to survive
How birds came to fly, the origin of life, beyond what′s inside
What science alone could never find, no matter how hard they try
Caught up in a moment
That split second of sudden and explosive
This concept imbedded in my brain that I can't explain
Only knowing that it will remain
Experience a measure of authenticity
Directly from a higher power came to visit me
Proof of existence, of none but my own assistance
Faith and persistence, knowledge of deliverance
Earthbound. All I have is this moment
