Health is a Song

Health is a song that our balance sings
It’s much more important than all other things
So we can climb up to that heavenly place
That makes humane beings out of the human race.

We walk too fast to that yawning tomb
Our home is here on this heavenly womb
We’ve made a terrible mistake
And dying so soon --- that’s not our fate!

Don’t waste precious time waiting for cures
Just quietly begin to open your doors
To light that’s so strong
You’ll think that you’re wrong.
Don’t turn around now!
There’s nothing back there,
Except sadness and tears, weird bravery and fear.

We heal our bodies with fasting and love
And eat our food raw, fresh from the sun
We need no more help except our love
Our beings are ready to soar way above.

Walk back to the garden, that’s where we belong
And admit to ourselves that we have been wrong
And that tree in the corner that knows right and wrong
Stay away from the news --- you’re where you belong
In the arms of your love.

~ Ray Kent, 1992
