How Will You Live?
A man walks by my doorway
His shadow crosses over the lintel
Swift as that a human life passes
If you are not undone by Love quick
The chance will be lost
Inside there are a hundred songs
Bursting out like startled birds
Inside where?
You? No! Inside Life
But where are you after all?
Don't claim credit but be the notes
The string of pearls that makes up a fragment of God's melody
You love a friend
You love a lover
You love a child
A sunset, a painting
Your parents, a beauty
Each of these occasional immediacies
Makes you whole, wise
Each a time signature
The relative duration of pitch or a ghost note all rhythmic value
Sometimes they are a whole line of song
But they are not yet that Love which undoes
A bird flies overhead
Its shadow passing along the desert sands
Its shadow passes over me
That is a human life
It is also a spark of Love
These other loves - fleeting moments
Of the fundamental frequency that is pitch
They are like sparks rising up from a nighttime campfire
All bright and burn, then gone
But the Love that is pure flame
The origin of fire, is always
Those who go by the name Lover
Know that it is the source of all but untouched by any
In the night sky openness of your life
Honor the bright burn love spark but remain in awe
Dwell in the splendor that overcomes, in Love
Live so that life becomes the altar of Love where you bow your head
Live so that life becomes the altar of Love where you bow your head
Live so that life becomes the altar of Love where you bow your head
A bird flies overhead
Its shadow passing along the desert sands
Its shadow passes over me
That is a human life
It is also a spark of Love
A man wakes in the desert
He has no idea how he got there
That is the result of drunkenness
There is desert every direction
As far as the eye can see
The desert goes on forever
How will you live in this world so that it is not exile?
A bird flies overhead
Its shadow passing along the desert sands
Its shadow passes over me
That is a human life
It is also a spark of Love
His shadow crosses over the lintel
Swift as that a human life passes
If you are not undone by Love quick
The chance will be lost
Inside there are a hundred songs
Bursting out like startled birds
Inside where?
You? No! Inside Life
But where are you after all?
Don't claim credit but be the notes
The string of pearls that makes up a fragment of God's melody
You love a friend
You love a lover
You love a child
A sunset, a painting
Your parents, a beauty
Each of these occasional immediacies
Makes you whole, wise
Each a time signature
The relative duration of pitch or a ghost note all rhythmic value
Sometimes they are a whole line of song
But they are not yet that Love which undoes
A bird flies overhead
Its shadow passing along the desert sands
Its shadow passes over me
That is a human life

Live so that life becomes the altar of Love where you bow your head
Live so that life becomes the altar of Love where you bow your head

A bird flies overhead
Its shadow passing along the desert sands
Its shadow passes over me
That is a human life
It is also a spark of Love
