I shall weep for you

A voice calling out in the desert.
She has a pail with which to collect the water
From the Great Fountain of Life
She is the vessel for the Earth
And we did not see her.
See, how she handles her pail with care
Indeed it has stood the test of time
The time of the eternal and the infinite
See how the sand around her scorns her
For in this desert of life, what use is a pail?

Watch the people taunt her.
Watch them spit on her
Watch them discard her like a rag
See the man who casts the first stone?
Watch him, for history shall listen to his story
See the love the people have for him
Heaping him with undue adorations.
What him become a great man in history
Watch her....
She remains silent.

The wise men reason with her
The strong threaten her
The martyr would die for her
All just to change her mind

'Oh she is insane' they say
'A woman without talent nor beauty' says more
'She says she shall bring to us the water of the spirit
Yet surely in her mind she is lost.'
'For we need not this magikal water
We need water for our bodies
Our parents and our children '

At this hear her speak
Listen to her voice
Flow like a gentle stream
Hear the tears in her eyes
Resonate through her voice

'Listen. To the Sound of Natures Speech'
'You have all forgotten truth
You have all become lost
See you survive off the dust of the Earth
When I offer you water with which to live
Oh I have waited
I have waited day and night
For the time when you would turn to me
Without scorn or hatred.
Without a need to dissuade
Without a need to control
Nor destroy
I am in this desert before you
I am in this desert after you
I have my pail and you laugh
Yet you have no pail.
For you never look to things to become better
And therefore you have blinded yourself to all that is
For all that could be. Is.
If you knew the truth
You would have a pail
By that act you would create your rain.
You of little faith
I shall go into the desert
And there shall I weep for you.
For you having no faith
For you having no dream
For you having forgotten
And for you not knowing.
So shall I weep.
Night and Day
Day and Night
So shall I weep
See I shall return one day
Bringing my pail of tears
So that you
Through my souls tears
May have life

One answer to the question of love.

In a roomsurrounded by the smoke of ganja and the incessant whine of todays contempary music relentlessly being pumped out by the stero three people discuss relationships as normal.
The thing that stands out to me is always the constant need for control people have such a need for in their relationships. Whatever happened to just being?
After a while my quietness caused such a noise in the room that it was unavoidable, my answer to the question of love was required for the conversation to continue to flow along its normal path. We all have had such experiences, when there is a sentence of approval that one must utter. We all know what is meant to be said, what one is expected to say, in regards to reltionships and love. I knew the 'line' I should say. 'put yourself in the driver's seat' or 'let her know that you're the one in the driver's seat' are common phrases heard in these talks. Such an abhorrent phrase, why such a need to control another?
But for some reason this time I felt a need to simply be me,
'Falling in love is always called that, falling in love. It's not that which we always consciously intend to do. It is always considered a 'falling'. I think when I fall in love it shall be with someone with whom there is no driver, nor is anyone being driven. It's just two people in each moment pulsing around the earth. Falling in love with each and every moment with them. And every moment around you is another moment in which you are falling deeper in love with that person. I hope that shall be what love shall be for me.
'
