Let me borrow a minute<\/p>\n
Please lend me your ear<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(Not for keeps, don\u2019t worry<\/p>\n
Just on loan<\/p>\n
With lots of interest<\/p>\n
But not the monetary kind)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let us speak without ears. Let us speak:<\/p>\n
Of an ear to a throne, a million-ear,<\/p>\n
An ear for music\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dual is the reality in which we live<\/p>\n
(I guess like two ears):<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On one ear, we reach to heaven,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On the other, we\u2019re grounded on earth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Souls masquerading as bodies<\/p>\n
In Life\u2019s masked ball.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earie is the situation; earborne<\/p>\n
The flight that is hope.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The song is begun, please give ear:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Give ear o heavens
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
And I will speak<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blue as clarity, clean like a child,<\/p>\n
Fresh clouds, softer than whispers<\/p>\n
On a lover\u2019s lip, these are the Heavens,<\/p>\n
A place of dreams and dreamers, of<\/p>\n
Bright thoughts and brighter eyes,<\/p>\n
Ideas plentiful like the stars, shining<\/p>\n
Like suns on mirrored seas glittering<\/p>\n
But also gold \u2013 Wisdom turns it\u2019s wise<\/p>\n
Face to the challenge, Understanding<\/p>\n
Gives a knowing look, Knowledge has<\/p>\n
Been there but always finds that going<\/p>\n
Back never gets stale, only aged to perfection,<\/p>\n
A flavor and richness more potent, also<\/p>\n
More subtle as the skills are honed and<\/p>\n
Potentials discovered (if not yet implemented)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The song goes on, perhaps now recorded:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And hear o earth
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
The words of my mouth<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brown as dirt, heavy and thick, material<\/p>\n
A little rough around the edges, hard and<\/p>\n
Unforgiving, its lines sharp, its tongue blunt,<\/p>\n
These are the Earths, where emotions and<\/p>\n
Feelings run free and chaotic, stumbling at<\/p>\n
Times, bumbling at others, falling down and<\/p>\n
Scraping knees and egos, dirt under nails,<\/p>\n
Scraping and uncovering what is below the<\/p>\n
Surface but way above the highest plains \u2013<\/p>\n
Not the Muse but<\/p>\n
The Music<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The music of which they stand as testaments;<\/p>\n
Timeless creations above and below, who have<\/p>\n
Been there when the song was first sung, still when<\/p>\n
It was screamed from agonized lips and distorted<\/p>\n
Mouths, and will be there when it is sung sweet<\/p>\n
Like milk and honey\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Heavens and the Earths \u2013<\/p>\n
If the former is a spiritual then<\/p>\n
The latter is a material witness:<\/p>\n
Witnesses to the song that is<\/p>\n
And the music that will always<\/p>\n
B (sharp)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heavens\u2019 testimony:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My teachings drop like the rain
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
My utterances flow like the dew<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Earths\u2019:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like storm winds upon vegetation and
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
Like raindrops upon blades of grass<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From ear to ear<\/p>\n
Pierced and looped:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Move to the eardrum beat;<\/p>\n
Sway to the ear instruments;<\/p>\n
The chimes ear-ring loud and clear \u2013<\/p>\n
The Heavens and the Earths<\/p>\n
Have given their ear for music;<\/p>\n
Let us open ours to hear their<\/p>\n
Testimony<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let us listen \u2013 and play \u2013 to the ultimate<\/p>\n
Composition:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Redemption Song<\/p>\n
