15976, The Shoulders of the Universe Posted by gsquared, Sat Jul-30-05 10:32 PM
The code to the lock on the motherlode,
cascades of sequential understanding fueled by love and other emotions and
beauty and things, wild flowers and beetles on leaves upside down, the royal blue in the sky, swells of red later, moistures here and there
my muscles are tired from long walks up mountains, my skin feels like me everything can tell me something and I know how to listen, i'm open, i want you to know me
it's young to be me, i don't know how to fall, a crow is nearby, i saw a yellow bird with a reddish head, things aren't ugly anymore
i hear trains at night, I pull my pillow over my head, it's cool and dark, i want to go to California for the weekend soon, there are waves there and people too
i build things that stay built, i'm simple though i am learning to flow, i saw Femi Kuti
mexicans are angels sometimes, i eat lettuce and a lot of fruit, whatever is cheapest, it's good, it
helps me to sit my head between the shoulders of the universe, everything is me, nothing can resist itself
in health, humble, a rippling breath whispering something sweet to be carried softly atop the water, over and around red rocks and fallen trees, cool, soothing, free...
everything is me

15977, Damn.. Posted by Lucky187, Sun Jul-31-05 01:33 PM
Damn dawg. Whats up? This was a nice piece.. kinda calming just to read, I especially liked this line, and I can't quote cause I ain't lookin' at it, but it basically said
'sometimes mexicans are angels'
I liked that. Reminded me of an Ex, and somehow in a pleasant way. Don't know why you put it- don't know what half this shit really means dawg, but it was.. serene. Nice drop bro, cats is sleepin' if they don't start tellin' ya the same.

"my skin feels like me" this line is when i started getting into the piece.
it has a lot of foresight and is somewhat an affirmation of sorts.
good stuff...

Been there before. Enlightenment, of sorts, could also be referred to as hind-sight.

"i build things that stay built"-A line worthy of being tattooed on someone. Very abstract,stream of conscious writing packed with colorful imagery, -Impressive, and now for seconds.
