My body has just revealed the news
I’m not the only one who’s ever me
Others will walk in these tattered shoes
And see what I can see
Perhaps you’ll be attending
The event we call this person
And I’ll attend from the other side
Our situations now reversing
You will see I cannot be lonely
So far this has kept me away from you
Since the fear you have of abandonment
Has been guiding what you do
I also cannot be thirsty
And this will change the way you think
When realizing all that’s been cut too short
Every time you pause to take a drink
Plus you’ve been taught you die from hunger
It’s just their ploy to keep you filled
What I’ve found is that by running on empty,
The truth of who we are cannot be killed
At first this thought is frightening
But you cannot figure why
I say it’s because to you death is release
You have parts you want to die
Now you feel that death’s deceiving
You’re still you after it’s all over
Death’s not the escape you thought it was
You still have yourself to shoulder
It’s the cross you have to bear
Until you accept what we’re trying to tell you
Be an empty vessel or lose yourself
The very lesson of the deluge
In the midst of being nothing
You get the chance to see it all
Becoming everyone who ever was
Until you never had to fall
Then we’re standing face to face
You know the secret that can’t be told
Minus hunger we all are One
Emptied fullness reveals the soul
It’s the Life that has no hunger
Desiring nothing you are complete
Every step you take is a victory
No more suffering of defeat
