The Tillerman

We’re all going to die,

but how many of us really live?

I’m not talking about hedonism

I’ve tasted it’s concentric circles

of frittering joy.

I’m talking about freedom,

a feeling of being really alive,

a flame of love flickering in your heart

for every being.

If we only just survive

that’s not really life.

I can’t do it on my own,

I collapse through my own strife.

So I make myself a sail,

and let the Spirit fill me

and take me,

whichever way it blows,

I’m not the captain,

I’m just the Tillerman,

trying to come to life.
