"You Are Not A Normal Human Being"

You Are Not A Normal Human Being

You are not a normal human being

I know you.

You know you

You have beautiful dreams you are fulfilling

You wake up everyday on the ceiling

And inspire your desires to radiate your feelings

You are not afraid to be yourself

Despite anyone else

You know who you are

You are not a normal human being

You are not the cheesy cliché character in the corner of the bar

Telling horror stories about how marriage is a dead dark dishcloth

cemetery

You can get married and love your spouse forever and still be free

You can get a job, make lots of money, and not be a selfish, egoistical

prick

No matter what happens to you, you can be happy

You are here to remember, not forget

You are not a normal human being

You do not suffer from the chaos of your own delusions

You are not ruled by the desolate confusion of other people’s illusions

You are not brainwashed by the mediocre mass media

You are the real heartfelt, breathing, bloody, soul filled essence of life

You are not a walking, talking robotic encyclopedia

You are a tender burning gentle loving light

You are not a television set glued to a graveyard

You transcend Middle America like a dark sky overflowing with bright

stars

You are not a normal human being

You did not come to Planet Earth to work for green paper and die

You came to satisfy your soul, to search yourself whole,

You came to serve this beautiful world

You came to feel the joy of why

You are not a normal human being

You do not sit around all day gossiping the gospel from one tragic play to

the next

You do not live your life for the sake of regret

You do not put your fellow brothers and sisters down

You do not waste your time

Your voice is a gentle, relaxing, indigo sound

That enhances and expands the space within everyone’s mind

You are not a normal human being

You are not afraid of your creator

You are not going to die and spontaneously begin an eternal burning

You are not waiting for a savior

You are here now and you are aware and you are learning

You condemn no one to hell

Instead you invite everyone into heaven

You understand and you are understood

You forgive and you are forgiven

You are not a normal human being

You touch the angels, you scare the demons, and you inspire the sun

You have no one to blame

You are not a normal human being

Why?

Because there is no such thing as one

Here Forever

There is a reason for everything,

if you don’t stop going.

There is a solution for every problem,

if you don’t stop growing.

There is a gift you will receive,

if you keep on giving

There is a life you will believe,

if you keep on living.

To get your feet wet,

you must walk into the water.

To be a great dad,

you must forgive your own father.

Yes it takes such a long time,

but when it comes it lasts forever.

Love will find you,

when you find yourself together.

Words On A Piece Of Paper

I think I might finally understand what it is I have been babbling about all

these years.

Goodness, strength, balance, compassion are all within me.

I am the one who has to let them out.

I am the one who has to be genuine with them.

I am the one who has to share my heart, my toothbrush, and my dreams

with them.

I am the heaven I find in a flower.

I walk out the door to go nowhere.  

I am finally aware I am always here. 

I could not find myself before because I was looking. 

I could not find myself before because I was trying too hard

to be someone who gets somewhere

but since I am always myself there was nowhere to go but me.

Now I can finally do nothing and feel free

which is completely funny

because in actuality “nothing” is what I have been doing my whole life

especially when I was trying to do something.

A million angels in the sky and you don’t even have to say hi. 

There is no race in inner space.

There are rats there though

but they are all lounging in tiny hammocks and little chairs,

sipping drank through a straw,

watching the breeze kick it with the trees,

watching the sun smile for us all.

Child Be Wild

Child be wild!

You are ahead of your time,

take advantage of your innocence

with your smile,

discover your heart

and you will never have to search with your mind.

We do not need anymore of you to grow up,

we already have enough boring adults

meandering around unable to get lost or found,

acting in grown up dramas during the day,

getting stuck in the play at night

unable to lift their dreams into flight,

waking up ruled by rules cold, starved, and lonely.

Child be seen!

You are the one and only person

who can create your dream life,

remember if someone is being mean

there is a great chance they are not right,

so never stop shining your light!

We need you out here in the ever changing world

to help us remember who we were as little boys and girls

with pockets full of joy and eyes full of pearls,

open our minds to the wide winged wonder

and run into our arms at the exploding sound of thunder,

you have so much to teach us yet so much to learn

and we have no reason to reject or to be so stern.

Child be heard!

You can hear the songs

the flowers sing to the birds,

award us your sweet voice
