Sublime G

I was dead, then alive
Weeping, then laughing

The power of love, came into me
And I became fierce like a lion

He said, "You're not mad enough
You don't belong in this house"

I went wild and had to be tied up
He said, "Still not wild enough to stay with us"
I broke into another layer into joyfulness.
He said, "It's not enough"
I died

He said "You clever little man
full of fantasy and doubting"

I plucked my feathers and became a fool
He said, "Now you're the candle for this assembly"

But I'm no candle. Look! I'm scattered smoke
He said, "You're the sheikh, you're the guide"
But I'm not a teacher. I have no power
He said "You already have wings. I cannot give you wings"

But I wanted his wings
I felt like some flightless chicken

Then new events said to me
"A sublime generosity is coming towards you"

An old man said, "Stay with me"
I said, "I will"

I went wild and had to be tied up
He said, "Still not wild enough to stay with us"
I broke into another layer into joyfulness
He said, "It's not enough"
