Blessings

v1
May your children be best friends
May your dj’s make fresh blends then press send

May Friday meals be a constant source of respite
with monsters forced to exit. May you stay limber and flexib/le

May you navigate climate collapse
and the rhyme it impacts along fault lines’ small minds
May you find peace among creeks and tall pines

May you and yours have clean water and fresh air
May you bring order from the depths of despair
May your joy overflow to the point that it’s shared
by girls and boys you’ve yet to meet
May each year start smooth with a table spread of sweet treats

May you find true wealth
and every day design a new self
I wish you all the skills we have
and the ones we don’t from someone else

chorus
A hug
A tight one
feel your heart on one I write from
No less than thirty seconds
Why hurry steppin for early exit from earthly lessons?

v2
May you acknowledge what you repeat as ritual
May YOU control habits. May you be enriched thru skool

May you be surrounded by beauty you’re not attached to
May your circle of friends extend and yet match you

May you live a life that feels preordained
May you hang art in museum frames

May you find someone you love as much as I love your mom
May we live by the seashore with a snare, floor tom and crash cymbal.
May it stay that simple / to solve a core pro(b)lem

May the bond formed with your brother remain strong forever
May your memory reach centuries beyond I remember

May you find collaborators that take work to the next level
May their assistants make room and never check schedule

May you overcome undue influence and untrue innocence

May you see what’s in plain-view and state-truth
in a way that doesn’t betray you. (Why not?)
All praise-due to the blessings that I got

Rough chorus
A hug
A tight one
feel your heart on one I write from
No less than thirty seconds
Why hurry steppin for early exit from earthly lessons?

v3
May the blessings of all cultures culminate in an hourglass of tornados
to inhabit our chakras and unblock us for regenerative powers of volcanoes
May pain go as far to the stars as rainbows. As far as your brain chose
May you feel regal in plain clothes. May regality dwindle
May recorded reality fit snug on its spindle. May scintil-
-lating visions inform your decisions. May you
be unconvinced of these principles
and live in the now
and discover how
in the river of Tao
To figure it out

chorus/coda
A hug
A tight one
feel your heart on one I write from
No less than thirty seconds
Why hurry steppin for early exit from earthly lessons?

Leap up
Deep cut can heal a deep cut
Sick heart, one that keep shut

A hug
A tight one
Love you
Gnight young’n
See you in the bright sun
