The Double

I'm waiting to take a shower
I have silence as my power
While the cards are on the table
But it's not at the full potential
& I've had too much vacation
But not yet seen enough of the world
For my senses to have lost their sensation
& My thoughts are exhausted too
So I've got to give it all I've got
& Try not
Do
These are the words of a master
Yet never quite fully attained
Is the balance of good and evil
& Loss that's been gained
& With the flicker of the candle
& The force from within the flame
& It appears to be dancing
With a light that's never waned
& With the pursuits of pleasure
That most have to avoid the pain
& Everything always seems different
Yet it's known it's all the same
& With consistency and discipline
We learn to lay down our shame
& Stop putting big pictures
To fit inside smaller frames
& The echoes inside a shadow
That are seen and not heard
As we allow them to come alive
Their silence become our words
& Manifest in the unknown plain
As quarters these balls of energy
Emanating fine and sure as a grain
From East to West and North to South
Make up a fist and shove it into your mouth
& If the warning was not all quite fair
There's no matter whether
The size shape color name or hair
We're all the same under the sun
We all know that beneath it all we are one
& With one more thing
& I'll say no more
Dig into it deep
& Reach for the cores
