FREE AS A BIRD
Woke up this morning
Nothing to live or die for
I sang my heart out
REFLECTION

REFLECTION
Sat by the fire
Warm socks on a Winter’s night
Logs not yet ashes
ON THE WAGON

ON THE WAGON
Discard attachment
Loss a fizzy illusion
And sorrow sham pain
THE INNER VOICE

RICE AND BARLEY

RICE AND BARLEY
Two a misapprehension
There is only ever one
And yet are also two
No apprehension too
Like rice and barley
Found mixed up together
Letting go in the moment
Holding without grasping

EASY AS CAKE (A PIECE OF PIE)
Make way … Stand aside
Stand aside … That’s the ticket
Just enjoy the ride
