From Siddhartha

My son Jeff has always been the sweetest-natured and gentlest of souls. He has written some incredible poetry, and composed some amazing music over the years. Here are two that I love, from Jeff Siddhartha Crazy Horse Marr.

Goodbye little child I know

Love claims me and I must go.

I'll find out where my flowers grow

and let the naked seasons flow

through me.

Goodbye lawless rolling stream

Seven tears mend

for gathering.

New eyes find the dawn and sing

And let the sacred

dream to dream

in me.

My heart calls and I depart.

Home,

home,

along a trail of innocence.

White Wings Are Another Word for Love

I'm the sweetest breath of life

I'm the white bird

the carriage of light

white wings of the world

enfold me as I fly

for the bounty

the bounty

of your beautiful eyes

I'm a dream of puffed clouds

over the sky

A marigold fragrance

song of the lyre

I'm the angel of loving

the tear of joy

the tear of pride

the sun in the sky

I laugh before wisdom

embrace without fear

and though far away

I will always be near

I'm the passion

grape of the vine

the radiant bliss

all innocence mine

I the wild wild land

where the deepening glows

of my spirit bestowed

gently sway in repose

I the sweet mist

on the river's bright clear

where the branches incline

I'm held ever dear

Soothe me sweet singers

bring soft tones around

Woo me so sweetly

with magical sound

Open your heart

as the bright treasure chest

that shines like a fire

fire out over the west

My song and my story

appear a bright jewel

Cast to your fountain

all those beautiful gems

Take it to your heart

where it blossoming may

awaken your heart

to its mythical day
