Unattached

crystal shattered rainbows flee
no haloed Sun in sky to see
clouds arrive in slow parades
grey-blue streaked with greyer shades

this muted summer mood still gleams
in air and sea on earth life teems
where young grow old and old become
young again 'cos we're all one -

morning at the dawn of time
changing egos changing minds
exchanging atoms when we breathe
with all around until we leave

slipping off the bonds which bind
us to the earth in body's rhyme
we rise up and float away
in spectral beams of light we play -

morning at the start of day
by the ocean where we stay
when we wake from last night's dreams
captured by today's thought streams

all around in minds abuzz
meaning blurring vision's fuzz
on the edge of who we are
plasma beings like each star -

crystalizing like new snow
sparkling beauty as we grow
as we tumble from the sky
back to where we fall and lie

'til we're roused by fingers warm
sunlight's touch and we're reborn
cycles which go on and on
'til the day when ego's gone -

we're plasma beings like the Sun
we visit Earth where we become
entangled in it's webs and mire
attached to every small desire

'til we remember to let go
to float along as visions grow
when attached we must return
letting go is how we learn -

morning at the dawn of time
changing egos changing minds
exchanging atoms when we breathe
with all around until we leave

slipping off the bonds which bind
us to the earth in body's rhyme
we rise up and float away
in spectral beams of light we play -
