I am not sure if this is new to Lit or not-- but it is new to me, thought I would share. You can view an entire thread without all the AV's etc etc. download it as text if you like that kind of thing. Might be cool to download the lyrics...hmmm....

Cool. I thought about downloading the whole Passion thread, but it splitrs it up in several pages. Combine this with the export as text thing that we have for PM's and it will become really spiffy.

And then you can post it in the epic poem challenge thread.

epic passion

And then you can post it in the epic poem challenge thread.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from here

the tenderness of the holy touch
is found in broken glass
as well as
careworn eyes



the heat of the holy torch
is found in the burning chalice
as well as flames of hell
that lick my soles

to save your soles
your soul
must firewalk
creating a glacier
of acceptance


fiery solstice
like walking on coals
turn to diamonds
soul faceted prisms
of then and now
again again


shine on
you crazy diamond

diamonds cut to the heart of the
what's the matter
sharp edged and goold pronged
catch my sweater
scratch my skin
caught in hair

crazy diamond golden ring
leave a dent in my finger
permenant fixture caught behind
jammed and swollen knuckles
no soap
no butter
no twist or cold water will
take this ring from me

shine on
crazy diamond

There is of course
the diamond sutra
Like a meteor, like darkness, as a flickering lamp, An illusion, like hoar-frost or a bubble, Like clouds, a flash of lightning, or a dream: So is all conditioned existence to be seen.

shine on
shine on
on
and then

whore frost
breaking bubbles
with frozen breath
lightning from fingertips
hair stands on end static illusions.

diamond sutures stitch wondues
wounds
cut glass rosary
twisted between toes

I tip across the coals
whore frost protects feet
from the burn


Coal walkers, stiltwalkers
jugglers and thieves,
the rising of tides,
ebbing of smiles
frown, still we believe,
perne in a gyre
like ships
bob and weave
on eggshell seas.

Very nice very nice
to assume that a jury
of jesters is fated
to know or appease
when the veil is a thin
cloak between yang and yin,
sunset dawn bursting
dead or alive
in the soul's supernova,
our hearts survive.



the ship and the ocean
work together
wind and willow branches
tossed about in random nature
but is it really
so arbitrary?

the mind says left
the wind goes right
and we fight
no mind
no wind
enjoy the journey
you go where you belong
always
always


trust the bob
and the fire
the scars and the tears
each tiny footstep
is taking you home


ring the bell
i made cookies for your arrival

insane woman that I am, I downloaded the whole damn thing. I rarely do anything with my passion stuff, but I might want to someday.

I swear I do not even remember writing half of it.

oh but my point is I can send it to you if you would like
