This Planet

The sky’s no limit
to what we can experience
Out beyond
ideas of correct
and lies
there is a planet
Let’s dance there
like wild children

Moths

The candle burns
it’s little light bright
in the velvety darkness
The moth is attracted
it’s conflagration
a phsst!
in the symphony of the night

We are each the candle
We are one with the moth

What silly winged thing
is waiting in us
to burn away
in our own brightness?

It’s not rocket science – I love playing with you
on the carousel of life.

Once upon a time,
at least a few minutes ago,
there was a little boy
eyes filled with wonder
heart heavy as stone
incongruent, yet integrous
alive but not awake
awake but not aware
awake of aches long past
encouraged through love
and acceptance
to release his heavy load

Shout it out with great enthusiasm
tap your foot with the rythmn of your song
awaken your heart with Spirits prompting
seek your soul in every place

and so with verve
crow cawed his greeting
and with awesome power
he emoted his being
and on and on
the others cawed back
in raucous pleasure

A caucus of birds
dressed deceivingly in black
