Lovely Ellen Sings the Truth

Lovely Ellen lives a life of non-reaction
once long ago possesed by a strong attraction
to the power of self, detached
akin to the Buddha for whom she matched
Again and again
Everything was Zen
eternal life and bliss without an end
Nature's beauty she did befriend


For she is of its truth.


Now she is the power she once had sought

The universe, in her hands, begot
Disaffected and unswayed
by all those things that bring Man pain


I see her, and as You can see, 
I became a part of that harmony
She possessed yet did not own
She and I are not alone
You came along
Now we're three-strong
Here, not to move the Earth 
from dusk to dawn
but to pursuade its children to sing along
to a most ancient song


To be taught at the start of youth:
they too can be all the notes of truth.
