AFTER THE SWEAT

AFTER THE SWEAT

Washed clean of doubts in the 

lodge last night,

The moon rose smiling sideways,

The fire painted portraits of

 grandfathers in the hot stones,

Ancient hollow bones raise me up until

I am standing in the sky,

From here and now

I can see both present, past and future

clearly.

Impossible Feats

Return to me my faith

in man,

After all the broken words we speak,

After our daily mundane agendas are achieved,

After cruelty and selfishness...

A juggler does the impossible!

A piece of art blows your mind!

Or better yet,

You see a loving kindness,

A human being humane,

This is what inspires me

and drives me back, to sane.

LIGHT

 LIGHT

We are so afraid of death

we surrender the adventure!

Somehow for some reason 

or no reason at all

we choose to choose what we think of as safety

when in truth we are really choosing

fear,

Fear is running our lives

fear is what builds skyscrapers made of insurance policies

that are meant to assuage our fears but,

do they?!

Naw-

Fear is what we’ve been taught,

not on purpose 

cause we all know

parents love and they/we do the best we can

and all the rest but

we cannot teach what we cannot reach,

and fear my friends

is far from light,

and light is what all life reaches for.
