Pretext - the school of hard-knocks with no recess
I'm peaceless, thwarted
- a part of blowing bombs into pieces
Where's Jesus when you need him?
I applied for the afterlife so I could meet him, but was denied
So I'm obliged to keep incarnating, starved and salivating
I'd seize the day but the day is fading, evading tomorrow
Will it turn around for me?
A penny for a pound, you'll see?
I'll find the knowledge tree, climb to the tallest leaf
and repeat affirmations by Khalil Gibran and Rumi
The vibration of the universe passes thru me
and the loom spins on it's axis
weaving thoughts into energy
Then to the centerpiece where grains of sand become thoughts so bold
I can hold them in my hand
An hourglass
where the power last
most definite
Magic words are absurd
I heard you can resurrect a cadaver - that's clever
cuz I never had abracadabra...whatever
I hope this post goes viral
and I eye-roll at the styrofoam goals I left behind
in any context
to watch the breath.
Can I moved as slowly as a tree grows?
When rich is rich and poor is poor
holy is the ethos of the forest floor
plants that strive
but can't survive the sunlight
This time I realize
my life is not defined by commotion and stimuli
Whether you remember me or not
when I die
my happiness was
setting my clock to my own time.
