BETWEEN TWO WALLS and AND THERE I WAS
by
Alun Buffry
I laughed a lot and shed a tear,
Turning from dreaded fear,
Felt some anger, felt some joy,
Looking back to me the boy.
Never had an earthly wife,
Felt the bliss and felt the strife,
Yet for some I felt the Love,
Down below and up above.
Walked some roads,
Sailed on Norfolk’s Broads
Went underground,
And listened to nature’s sweet sounds.
I climbed some mountains,
Bathed in fountains,
Kissed the sky,
And got high.
Drank some wine and Holy Water,
When I thought I oughta,
Took some drugs,
Had some bumps and caught some bugs.
Gotten old and lost my teeth,
Daily seeking inner peace,
Slowing down upon the streets,
Look inside the thoughts to beat.
Life lies between two sturdy walls,
Listening as divine light me calls,
That breath keeps apart through grace,
As I rest within my space.
And find my peace right here
For which I feel such gratitude so dear
And find my joy right now
As to my breath I humbly bow.
And There I Was With no because.
I travelled on, to sing my song,
To soar up high, to seek and try
To find my Self, beyond earthly wealth,
Within inside, the changing tides,
Through cities close and distant lands,
Mountains, rivers, desert sands.
Towards life’s end,
My Tale I send,
And here within,
My Tale begins.
For there I was,
With no because.
Life lies between two sturdy walls,
Listening as divine light me calls,
That breath keeps apart through grace,
As I rest within my space.
And find my peace right here
For which I feel such gratitude so dear
And find my joy right now
As to my breath I humbly bow.
And find my peace right here
For which I feel such gratitude so dear
And find my joy right now
And to my breath I humbly bow.
And to my breath I humbly bow.
