And I Spoke

And I spoke to a stone, said,

“I want to be free”

And the reply came from a still voice I heard within me

it called my name softly, asking of only whatever I be

“In the name of Heav'n, tell the truth, to your own self not me,

whatever gave you the idea that you are not as you are absolutely 

free?"

And I knew I am that I am that is free;

free from all that entangles fellows like me.

Anonymous, on my own, nameless and free;

unknown and unknowable, alone and not lonely,

as still as a mind that is empty can be;

vast and deep, more deep than the famous bottomless Sea

seated on a stone, light years alone, nowhere in infinity, 

a place with no center, bearing nothing, I enter,

and yet another whole Universe pulses inside of me; 

and I gotta wonder

Da de da da…..de da da...de da da de da da de (pause)

How can it so be?
