Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, inviting creative expression and genuine connection.
This song is a vision of freedom. I offer it today in honor of this week's Hive Open Mic theme: "Libertad," the Spanish word for "Freedom." To me, freedom is the light-hearted feeling that love brings. Because I have love in my life, I can trust all is well. This trust invites me to find heaven in the present moment. In this way, presence is the key to freedom.
The scenes I'm describing in this song are symbols that represent various feelings of freedom. Freedom feels like an intimate connection. Freedom feels like running through a sunflower field, as a horse, with wings. Freedom feels like an expression of art. Freedom feels like refreshing water. Freedom is a peaceful feeling. The chorus line is: "Om shanti," an invocation of peace.
Just A Drop
A song about the freedom that love makes possible
Old souls young at heart
Find each other in the dark
Eyes closed open minds
Feel the fire of flying sparks
Gold tones from the source
Offer their light showers
Wild horses given wings
Run in endless sunflowers
Om shanti shanti shanti [4x]
Show those colors
All you rainbows
Share those love songs
All you sparrows
Oceans of love
Offer their abysses
Just a drop is enough
That is what this is
Om shanti shanti shanti [4x]
