To do this in 2 minutes,
Eternity in an hour
Promised impossible of course
as all the patients descibe it
They could only say it isn't,
it isn't, it isn't, it isn't!
Trying to tell people what it is
When of course I don't know any of our friends that have taken
it that haven't said this one thing in common:
Well! I never knew anything like that
in the whole of my life
And one or two people have said to me
I've said it to myself
That's what death is going to be like.
And oh what fun it will be
Well I mean that there are the colours,
the beauty, the designs
The beautiful waves, things appear
People themselves
There are people that I thought dull,
appear fascinating, interesting, mysterious, wonderful
But that's only the beginning
Suddenly you notice that there
aren't these seperations
That we're not on the seperate islands shouting across to somebody
else trying to hear what they are saying and misunderstanding
You know, You used the word
yourself: empathy
These things flowing
underneath
We are parts of a single continent
underneath the water
And with that goes such
delight;
The sober certainty of Waking Bliss
