be true

-
Ocher-robed man shouts "Be True!"
And a hero stumbles into
realization that truth's freedom
comes from the outside,
applied insidde
growing outward
becoming whole

Be True!
is the call
Be True!
as I fall
Be True!
sitting in the hall
Be True!


Drop pretense, schemes and lies
Let fall divided mind and eyes
Capture thoughts
Wash them clean
And walk away from fear

This makes what may be a vague literary reference to "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever", an epic fantasy written in the 80s, which has been read by many more people than you probably realize (IF you're not one of them!). :)

not enough

Would it ever be enough, even if I try would I ever get through, do more than get by Would I be enough, be enough for you? Is there any hope, or the slightest chance Before the music's over will I get the dance? and would it be enough, be enough for you? Too little of me I know it's true Fading quickly into the blue I'm not enough, not enough for you This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
