The tree of life       Before I was, I was  
Before I lived, I lived 
Eternally leaf  
Of the tree of life.

      Free fall       I’ve been following ghosts 
In the midst of time 
Living in the future 
While in a frivolous present 
Unaware of the gift of now 
To be enjoyed. 
I’ve been chasing dreams 
In the midst of time 
Wishing for this  
And longing for that. 
I’ve been waiting to bloom 
feeling trapped in a cocoon 
Of my own creation. 
Insecure of my abilities, 
Afraid of the uncertainties 
Of what lies ahead. 
The wise woman said  
The present is here to live it! 
A day at a time, 
The future is what we make it! 
Standing on the cliff of reality, 
There is only one way to go 
Have faith in ourselves,  
Trust in the universe 
And jump deep within. 
Cause as strange as it may be, 
It’s only in a free fall, 
That one is ever free from gravity.

      The idea of ideas       Where do ideas come from? 
And where do they go, 
When they've burn out  
Turning our possessed minds 
To ashes in the process 
Where do inspiration come from? 
We like to take credit for ideas 
Popping into our minds  
As if something can come out of nothing 
It's my idea! you stole my idea! 
We claim them as if we possess them 
when evidence suggest the opposite 
They possess us.  
We rely on them yet rarely question their origin 
If not to use them as scapegoats  
When the filt of our hearts filters through  
Thoughts into general awereness. 
Do we have ideas or do they hold us  
Prisoner of their grip, having us grappling  
And battling each other for their sake, 
For the fake reality they display. 
That's how we get played, get rulled over  
By the pons of  a game we invented 
Then forgot the rules. 
Indeed, w...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Child's heart       Heart of a child 
the genius crouches and crushes 
under the weight of the expectations 
of a savior that he stubbornly 
refuses to embody 
Let me be! cries the ego 
oppressed in its ambitions 
To be without being special, 
To be just one among 
The billions of shooting stars 
Fallen in children's hearts. 
Let me play in joy! 
Far from your faith in me, 
Far from all projections on me 
From your exceptions to rules never written. 
Let me be, just me 
In my failures and disappointments 
In my successes and my elations 
Let me explore myself, beyond 
The prisons of the definitions 
That everyone has of me. 
Let me live free 
To express myself, to hatch out 
My creativity, far from the schools 
Who want to conform me 
To confuse me in the mass, 
To steal my latent talents 
Pervert my imagination, 
Impriso...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Selfless self       Long was I away, 
Away from my Self 
to notice the slow drift 
Taking me further down the rift 
Into the abyss of unfruitfullness, 
Into the boredom of creative bareness, 
Into the realm of the selfless self. 
Just enough for me to realize 
I am myself when I am fully my Self 
faithfully committed to be.

      Catch a breath       Take your time 
Breathe in, breathe out, 
Take a break 
To catch your breath 
 
There is no time? 
Maybe, but there is no rush 
Cause there’s no space 
To run into, It’s all in the mind 
So why do you push? 
 
Yes, mind your pace, 
But brace yourself, it’s not a race 
Find your rhythm, move with grace. 
Be at ease and just follow the flow; 
Live to nature’s lead.

      Kinds of love       Love can be romantical 
like holding hands 
While walking  in the sand 
Sending each other kisses 
through looks of an outaspace nature 
Nurturing ideas of togetherness; 
It can be infused in a meal 
Shared on a picnic in the clouds 
Love can be social 
Like sitting beneath the baobab tree 
Sorting out the issues of the community, 
Drinking together in a single jar, 
Singing and dancing under the moon 
Till morning come 
Love can be political 
Like an underated arranged mariage 
Aiming at sorting a viral hatred, 
For the sake of peace to be once more 
Between two savage  rivals 
Seeking to embrace change. 
From the formed couple finding love in deep humility, 
And mutual understanding in a common humanity, 
The community transmutes, 
The one love blossoms into to the many 
Then back to the one, back to unity.

      Wise Wishes       Beware what you wish for 
As you might not like 
hat you reap 
Wish for happiness 
Above all things in the flesh 
Wish for health 
Below everything in the mesh 
Wish for joy 
Before anything artificial 
Wish for peace 
Behind everything superficial 
Wish for protection 
Outside all things material 
Wish for wisdom and love within, 
Within everything you wish.

      Bee like water        A worm will never 
Become a butterfly 
Just like a caterpillar 
Will never become a fly. 
 
We never really change 
We just become 
What we’re meant to be 
For the better or the worse. 
We never really change 
We just discover ourselves to be 
What we’ve always been 
All along, unaware of the sleeping 
Potential within our bellies. 
We’ve lived a thousand lives 
And been a billion things 
Or nothing at the same time 
Cause we’ve always been the same; 
Wandering travelers exploring 
The stars of the universe 
In search of wisdom, of experience, 
Pollinating a life to blossom. 
 
Be like water, free to be!!!

      Flow of change       Change is my name 
Cause I stay the same 
When I divide, I multiply 
When I add, I subtract 
I am the left, the right 
And the equal sign 
Of life’s equation 
The zero factor of truth  |
