I no longer seek,
that which cannot be;
I do not need,
that which I cannot see;
Images of mirrors and mirrors of images,
turning me inside and out;
A hopeless voice,
yearning to shout;
Sherpa, Sherpa guide me along;
help me find a place to which I belong;
I’ve been west, and I’ve been east;
I’ve seen angels and I’ve seen the beast;
Demanding fortunes of greater good;
beckoning recklessly to leave the should;
Oh if I could find a way,
a way to yesterday;
I would turn eloquently to the left,
Always avoid the right, those helpless souls lost in night;
Longing so restless agony lights;
Knowing crude directionless shows;
No maps, in a world of infinite places to go;
A place with no paths, complexity hidden in maths;
Equal to none and no greater than thee, less and immense, as lonely as sea;
Sherpa, Sherpa guide me along;
help me find a place to which I belong;
I’ve been west, and I’ve been east;
I’ve seen angels and I’ve seen the beast;
I’ve been up, and I’ve been down; and I’ve gone round and round;
Now I seek a simple place, restlessly longing for a different pace;
My body beckoning, spirits chased;
Heartfelt silence in heart found;
My mind finally laid to waste.
That’s the sound.
