NOTHING for xmas this year

i give you NOTHING for xmas this year

i wrote lyrics to a new xmas song. it’s called “this xmas i give you nothing.” it needs music, and undoubtedly will be released someday as a cubby preachers track. so if any cubby preachers or anyone at all would like to contribute to the putting of these lyrics to music, i would be glad of the input. please hit me up. holiday cheers. ;j

THIS XMAS I GIVE YOU NOTHING

i give you nothing for xmas this year,
and there is no greater gift in the world.
i give you nothing to show you i care
and wish you simplicity’s peace,
satiation’s calm, the absence of want,

my wish is the all that i bring,
incantations for your health,
emanations from my soul to yours,
prayers you unlearn compulsive consumption
and find the love of every moment,
the thing behind every leaf.

the only time is now, and herein
i give you my love, which is nothing,
nothing at all, indeed,
nothing to clutter your life
or leave you wanting more or owing me.

nothing is my gift,
my gift is nothing.
do good with it,
learn from it,
wear it well,
breathe as you take it in.
