"INDEPENDENTLY ALONE"
"OF LOVE, LIGHT, DARK OF CRITIQUE"
I'd rather be alone.
I'd rather be alone than to be
with people who criticize me.
I'd rather be alone at home.
than to be with people
Who critique me,
who don't care.
I'd rather be alone
because I love to share.
I'd rather be alone
than to be with people
who criticize me, who epitomize me.
I'd rather be alone
At my home.
We live in a world of critical anger and so much hate.
We live in a world of billions of people who wake up everyday.
We live in a world of billions of people
who go to sleep every night.
We live in a world of people who search for the way.
We live in a world of such fear and fright and flight.
We live in the world of fun.
We live in a world of hot and cold.
We live in a world of so many people of light
of the day and night.
I have met the dark, the light.
I choose the light
to guide me during the night.
I'd rather be alone
than to be with someone who critiques me
cause the one forcing control over everyone
are the powers of the dark side of the moon
of the sun, the moon, the stars
of light shimmering through the dark
of the night of the soul
to dance, sing, paint
the rainbow of light of the day shining through the
clouds of the storm of the decades of the faint
hearted.
Peace, love
all that jazz
the music plays on
and on.
Dance my sisters, we are in the world
of light and the universe of light
in the flight of love
shining bright.
Let's make love in the night.
Let's make love.
Let's watch the stars above
as we make love on the beach,
the ocean spraying over our love so, we
can be together to create, to paint
a life of music, song, dance
of the leprochan.
I am not alone.
I have my song
I have my light.
I have the moon, the stars, the sun
to make love in the sand
with my love laying upon
the sands of time.
as the hourglass drains the sand
I turn the hourglass upside down
to sit in my room to come around the
life of the of the merry go round.
The rainbow of light
shines bright through the night.
We are holding each other tight,
The universe of light
AMOR, PAZ Y LUZ
