Monkey Man
You say you wanna help me
but I don’t see how that you can.
You say you understand me
but you’re just a monkey man.
Clearly you haven’t a clue.
Why should I listen to you?
So the monkey says
“Who better than me?
I am you, and we are we.
And this is all imaginary.
It’s true.
You’re really just listening to you.”

The Reflection Within
In the silent dialogue of self and other
We find our truth in the spaces between
Each word a doorway to deeper knowing
In the flux of being we are whole
Imagination and reality merge in the eternal now
Opposites weave the whimsiweave of life
Every step a synthesis every pause a revelation
In the reflection within we find our way
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.
