With sound and fury,
there are those who try their best
to create meaning in life.
They are not idiots.
Perhaps they are filled
to their necks with creativity
and the pressure of excitement,
building deep inside their hearts,
forces song from their lips,
poetry from their hands,
dance from their feet.
They are not foolish.
Perhaps they are also brought down
by the weight of a burning world
crashing down upon them
and with silence and stillness
their energy fades away and
they begin to fear the pain that comes
from their search for understanding
Bless the tired ones who explore the work of the spirit.
Bless the ones who crash and burn.
Bless them all.
They are in love with the world.
They are in love with you and I.
