I'm going through some scrapbooks of mine back in my old-skool stoner days when i was first figuring things out and rearranging my brain. I was still emotionally soft, and i found a lot of my writing (and a little drawing) was heavily influenced by my reading of the Tao teh Ching. In some, it is painfully obvious. A lot of references to dark and light, sun and moon, etc. I was also kinda hit by two hard breakups, and i found a good therapeutic outlet in writing, so it may relfect some emotional cynicism of course, but all in all, i was very idealistic during this stage. I liked 'divining', if you will, mantras with a catchy beat. My favorite to this day is this: "To feel her energy flowing through me.....is magic."
Feel free to read, peruse, comment, tell me if you can see a resemblance between the omar of yesteryear and the omar of now. It is quite a trip going through my old journals, i must tell you. And by the way, i had smoked my first wave of pot, and had several acid and shroom trips, and had started a new experience in 95...ecstasy. The good old skool brown sugar kind.

'Gazing Wide Open'
And the eyes of the children
are gazing, wide open
but the mouths of the children
have not learned to speak
So they cry, cry, cry
point to the sky
turn to their elders
and then ask them why
You can speak a new world
in an instant
if you just fill your lungs with the breath
You can live for ten thousand
years if you want
when start to accept your own death
Death, death death
it rests in their head
it lies in their bed
The gates of their madness
are swinging wide open
until they can put this to rest

There was a wicked snarl
then a panic.....
and a tear slowly fell
and a girl that knew no restraint
cried out the secrets of the world
and the people fell silent, their breath taken away
and the truth cut the air like a knife.....
In a joyful town the sound of a bell's toll
was ringing aloud
and in a hospital bed
a man resisting death
peacefully laid down, singing a sigh of relief
the flags of peace were unfurled to the sky
and in the forests there was heard a jingle
as the creatures came out to finally mingle
with their long lost human friends
 
Fixation....
on the swan
singing its last song
the eternity of the moment
that's deceptively long
Lamentation....
you sing it with your eyes
you turn off your light
you walk into the darkness
your day fades into night
Your hands....
they speak of balance
your mouth....
it talks of love
i gaze at the delicate madness
that's controlling you from above
Just fly, fly away
but come back to watch your footsteps fade
i'll remember you by your spirit
and all the memories you've made
 
Let me be
here
i could be there
i could be anywhere
i could be lying in a gutter with a bullet through my head
i could be standing on a cliff almost wishing i was dead
but i am here, so let me be!
 
'Miss tery'
With her sensitive mouth
and her perilous eyes
and a precarious face
that is constantly changing
like the skin of a drum
like a bolt of lightning
that strikes in the sky
she's a message in disguise.
Just when fill in the missing piece,
the puzzle scatters.
Just when you have the perfect vantage,
the camera lense shatters.
Only on the crest of a wave
do you find that nothing else matters.
She's a rhetorical question
always burning in my mind.
She's a mystery, a metaphor
for words i may not ever find.
 
I want to lend my hand
welcome your soul
invite you to my land
with a love that works in reverse
Could you be here for me
like i want to be here for you?
To drown your parched skin,
and soak you sun
like she did when she left
forced my sun to set
see lovers kiss through blurried eyes
with a heart heavy with regret
ignore the downpour of sullen skies
winter castle gates shut tight
i am still there, waiting....
 
'in ourselves we trust'
i pledge allegiance to the earth
the great mother of the universo
and to the Life that She sustains
infinite, diverse, yet acting as one
indivisible, with the right to exist, compete, evolve, and feel joy
 
'longing for white chocolate'
my zen
my christ
my chocolate cake
that awaits the end of my day
my blood, dripping on your face
my throne, lips on your plate
my mind, tripping on this place
my space, that no one can take away
my day, a spiralling pace
a mirror, staring deep into space
warm bed where it all takes place
the high heavens, they watch us with smiles,
as two souls wind
collide
lose their old selves
find a new meaning of life

A thing I have to tried to say in so many words and ways. And here you've done it, so simply and beautifully. Breathtaking. :)
