Between the Lions (for Tom Terrell 1951-2007)

it’s something
in between the lines
when bruthaz/sistaz
know
can straight-up
meet
and astral travel
unravel
together

in my search
for balance
thru word, sound
waitin’ for Sun Ra
at enter-mission
you were found
disc-journeying
i heard
I-Jahman
for the first time
sweet
furturistik
roots
Miss Beverly
Are We A Warrior
you were everywhere
in the universe
from Yaz to Eric Johnson’s
Trail of Tears
i didn’t even know
you were on the radio

thank you, bro
thank you, bro
i am more healed
becos of you
becos of yur part
in tha Sound Cosmos
in tha Sound Universe
in tha Sound Heart

faux path

if there
is no peace
in your heart
and you
lack love
and compassion
for others,
how can you be
an agent for peace?
how can you
bring harmony
to the planet?
how can you be
a conduit for real change?
how can you heal yourself,
or a chaotic world
of perpetual sickness?

who do you listen to, or learn from?
where is your love?
what path are you on?
who, where, what are you?
human?
or are you just more
folly-fodder
led by the forces of flim-flam?
