unique special music

I am one of many, nothing special
Nothing unique, yet oh dear father
You make me feel special with
Your special music.

As we think so we see

Long ago I thought to myself
I want it easy and in my stead
I live it now, but there's trouble still
For an easy life is not now my will;
Whatever I have ever thought
I have actualised from infinity to naught, 
So much so that now I believe
As we think so we see.

Travel the universe trading stories

I have started a venture: trade across the Universe. 
If one could trade with other life forms what would one buy? 
Eclectic. Profound. Said the sage. Do you have a plan? 
Yes, to travel to other galaxies beyond the Milky Way, 
In search of life forms by night and by day. 
Good luck. Your imagination grows wilderness by the minute. 
May you find what you seek. Said the sage. 
But have you found happiness? 
May be. 
Have you found love? 
May be. 
Have you mastered your mind? 
Clearly not since I'm given to such imaginings. I dream of meeting the blue beings of Andromeda, 
And the ones beyond. Be a guest on their planets, 
And give succour to life on Earth. 
Don't fall into the trap of an illusion. Said the sage. 
It's often that you travel space in your mind, 
Tread the earth instead; give peace and joy to the lesser mortals here
Who worry about breaking bread hour upon hour. 
So I packed my bags and left for the Peruvian jungles with my buddy
In search of tales one could share as I dream of Andromedian honey.

A prayer for humility

When my pride cost me dearly
I realised I had to kill my pride
And I begged God to make me humblest
Throughout the lands far and wide. 
Since then it's been a while and
I've realised no prayer goes unanswered;
I have faced challenges so profound
That I've been left unencumbered. 
Slanderers, naysayers, dream killers, 
I've met them all and in my ordinariness
I remember that I've got a calling from God. 
So, now I seek happiness as I eat humble pie
And friends to surround me, love to win
And I know that this will also be answered by God.
