of rainy days in California
01/2000

There will be a day
	that I taste the rain on your skin
	and we will hear the wind
	maybe in the clouds today
perhaps a short while we'll stay

Could there be a day that everything
	is beautiful as blood, sweat, and tears
	and I have no darkmares
	I hope I won't feel the sting
of the suffering of everyone,
	the pain and ecstasy of everything

When I'm finally free of desire
	I'll be beautiful inside and out
	for me, Nirvana will finally be found
	you will be standing next to my fire
my suffering long gone in funeral pyre

Choirs in Latin
          Love like angels
	never will I worry
	won't have to be sorry
     the way clouds flow so slowly
     I will be a part of the ultimate freedom
     swimming liquid gravitee
     shining like elfstar
     being the universe like the prince Gautama
     a human being with butterfly wings
