Meditation Retreat

The empty soul can fly

So empty your pockets and soar

The wise know how to die

What good is this life for?

Oh, our little Dawn

Let us ask you a koan

Oh, our little Dawn

Let us help you go on

We sit

A very calming melody. I like the zen references in the lyrics.

Excellent work. I enjoyed your rhymes. My favorite part was "The empty soul can fly/So empty your pockets and soar".

Nothing loves you
Won’t you love it, too?
This section, and its companion, struck me as interesting because of the word play and because the reader can't be sure the meaning is the usual (there is nothing that wants you) or the literal (nothingness wants you-- give into despair).

And yet, there's a cozy, loving tone to the ending, which gives me hope.

This is nice. Very meditative.

The words make this really sad, but the music is so pretty and calming that it works really well together.
