At Home to the Core

I feel comfy as a pillow
relaxed as a willow . . . full lyrics


2 choices - spoken, and also "sung" a cappella, in my sing-song way.

SPOKEN


SUNG, A CAPPELLA



At Home to the Core

I feel comfy as a pillow
      relaxed as a willow
            soft yet sturdy as can be

I feel unmasked like a hero
heart open to the one love
            unguarded and safe as can be

seeing you
            comfy as a cushion
            relaxed as a mushroom
            deliciously cozy with me



Yet we're ready
                        passionately
            to blow the quiet
            to have a riot
                  to join together
                        ardently

to have a heady diet
                  of luxurious
                        intimacy

I wouldn't often try it
                  it's so unlike my everyday
                        me



But it sure is a pleasure
something that we treasure
                        enormously



Yet I still feel
relaxed as a yogi
            meditating on a lotus
            chanting interminably



and then we're
            moving together
                        emotionally
                        intellectually
                        physically



and then we part for a while
in our steady relaxed style

dooby dooby do
dooby dooby do
            yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh



ready
            to play and to join
            in the evening and the morn
            to know and be known
                        intimately

            to plan and to play
            day by day
            in our own special way
                        passionately
                        casually
                        variously



I feel at home to the core
            ready and some more
            to love and still feel free

seeing you
            comfy as a cushion
            relaxed as a mushroom
            deliciously cozy with me



Then once again we're ready
                        delightfully
            to blow the quiet
            to have a riot
                  to join together
                        ardently

           
            and later we are silent
            you do your thing I do my thing
            pottering
                        comfortably



I feel unmasked like a hero
            heart open to the one love
            unguarded and safe as can be

seeing you
            steadily my ally
            relaxed as a valley
            at home being with me



dooby dooby do
dooby dooby do
            yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh



you do your thing
I do my thing
and sometimes we do our thing



dooby dooby do
dooby dooby do
            yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhh

Romantic
passionate
fun tender
love poem, love poetry,
a cappella love song.

- Notes -

I don’t remember when I wrote this version - comfy as a pillow, relaxed as a willow.

The original piece - Relaxed in my Center - came in June 1994, right near the start of the flow of word pieces. My vision of something really good between 2 people, a loving couple. No images in that version, just the good warm feeling.

And then there’s this piece. Fun images. Comfy as a cushion, relaxed as a mushroom. Relaxed as a yogi, meditating on a lotus.

Was it from the same time? Later?

If I find out, I'll put in the info.

Fun romantic love poem, word piece.
Tender and passionate love poetry.

So many words were coming in June 1994.
I knew where they were coming from -
the wish for love,
the wish for a tender love,
calm yet passionate,
steady and sure,
yet ready to shift to strong desire.

And so there came to be this
romantic passionate love poem,
one of many love poems,
romantic, longing, content.

Gentle, tender, loving.

Romantic.

A vision of what I longed for,
had hopes for,
wanted in my life.
