Cube 6: Left, front, bottom, right, top, back

Listening to Richard Hawley
Do you remember Coles Corner
The fence is left leaning
The clematis being such a weight

And Tonight the streets are ours
Do you remember Coles Corner
When The Old Stables
Were not even a dream

Were not even a dream
The clematis being such a weight
Yet we chose the Velux windows
To let in the light

To let in the cooler air
When The Old Stables
They did not have their new roof
Yet we chose the Velux windows

And Tonight the streets are ours
Listening to Richard Hawley
To let in the cooler air
But only when opened

But only when opened
The fence is left leaning
They did not have their new roof
To let in the light

Cube 6: Back, left, front, bottom, right, top

Another day for freedom to begin
Past items moved into storage
Hurtful words also shelved
As though in their darkness they might set him free

In between that day and this
As though I may try to explain it
Past items moved into storage
A void of a man, a gap of a man

A traveller without expression
As though I may try to explain it
Words of love, yet so well hidden
As to become words of something quite different

As to become words of something quite different
A void of a man, a gap of a man
A man denying his own closure
As though in their darkness they might set him free

Open his face up to the four winds
Words of love, yet so well hidden
Hurtful words also shelved
A man denying his own closure

A traveller without expression
In between that day and this
Open his face up to the four winds
Another day for freedom to begin

Cube 6: Top, back, left, front, bottom, right

Nothing is there now
Except the certainty
The absolute meaning of nothing at all
Nothing should be certain

Nothing should be certain
Is itself worthy of repetition
Is itself worthy of dwelling upon
Take a few moments longer to ponder

Accept the certainty
Welcome the faint new light shining
Is itself worthy of repetition
Yes, so so worth looking again

Nothing is there now
Welcome the faint new light shining
A smile which tries to say I love you
An enigma, of the enigmatic kind

An enigma, of the enigmatic kind
Yes, so so worth looking again
If you have read any or all of those books
Take a few moments longer to ponder

The absolute meaning of nothing at all
A smile which tries to say I love you
Is itself worthy of dwelling upon
If you have read any or all of those books

Cube 6: Right, top, back, left, front, bottom

Taking time to just be
Come with me
Care of the soul
Calm ease smile breathe

Stillness speaks
Siddhartha
Taking time to just be
The quest for meaning

The quest for meaning
The lost art of being happy
Care of the soul
The Celestine Prophecy

Siddhartha
The invitation
The lost art of being happy
Zen mind, beginner’s mind

Stillness speaks
The invitation
Come with me
Mankind who searches of and for himself

Mankind who searches of and for himself
Zen mind, beginner’s mind
Calm ease smile breathe
The Celestine Prophecy

Cube 5: Front, right, back, top, left, bottom

Sat at the bar
On a bar stool
Waiting for a taxi
Waiting for a woman

A woman who recently telephoned
Waiting for a taxi
To ask if she ought to come over
Yes, she asked, did she ought to come over

Of course you said yes
With a hint of delirium you said yes
To ask if she ought to come over
Yes, yes; yes, absolutely you should come over

Sat at the bar
Now somewhat excited
A woman who recently telephoned
Of course you said yes

Now somewhat excited
On a bar stool
With a hint of delirium you said yes
Indeed spilling over with excitement

Waiting for a woman
Indeed spilling over with excitement
Yes, she asked, did she ought to come over
Yes, yes; yes, absolutely you should come over
