Avalo (Ft Ayanna & Sundara)
Avalokiteshvara
while practicing deeply
with the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
suddenly discovered that
all of the five skandhas are equally empty
and with this realisation
he overcame all Ill-being.
Words are prison
Blur my vision
Her position
Perfect wisdom
I’ve been sitting
digging deeper
you can see the
MuchaLinda
intravenous
Inner demons
in between us
while I’m breathing
I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been seeking
hibernation
I was sleeping
She’s been waking
she’s been taking
flights to Venus
ain’t no faking
Like Siddhartha
Meeting Mara
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
Put your guard down
keep your heart up
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
Only love can
Keep the stars up
Like Siddhartha
Meeting Mara
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
All of my fear and my pain
Breath Breath Breath
All my regret and my shame
Breath
Callin my ancestors names
Breath Breath Breath
We both are one and the same
Breath
Stop and listen
water glistens
I’m adrift in
contradictions
My reflection
intersection
of living reckless
and introspection
I sit on the floor
look at my feelings and more
but while I’m healing
I can’t help but feeling
I’m still being torn
maybe I’m being reborn
maybe I’m still being formed
maybe the I I call myself
is really the eye of the storm
tell me my mind isn’t gone
tell me I’m writing my wrongs
tell me it matters
whenever we gather to write a new song
She’s been waking
she’s been taking
flights to Venus
ain’t no faking
Like Siddhartha
Meeting Mara
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
Put your guard down
keep your heart up
Only love can
Keep the stars up
Like the Buddha
Meeting Mara
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
Like Siddhartha
In the garden
Like Avalo
kitesh vara
All of my fear and my pain
Breath Breath Breath
All my regret and my shame
Breath
Callin my ancestors names
Breath Breath Breath
We both are one and the same
Breath
Oh my beloved one
my inner child
I know that you are afraid
I know how much you hurt how much it hurts every day.
I know your wish,
your wish to be free,
your wish to be healed.
Walk with me and I will help you find your way.
I want you to know that everything is OK.
the things that happened to you weren’t your fault
you don’t have to hurt yourself because of them.
I want you to remember to be gentle to yourself
to love yourself
as if you were your own precious child.
Beloved one, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Look around you
the entire world,
the entire cosmos
is who you are.
The wind, the clouds,
the flowers, the storms,
the love, the agony,
all of it is you
you are already free.
You are already exactly who you want to be
look inside and see yourself
Inside you is an ocean of love and understanding
Look inside you and find the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
