Soft as the reasons

We need

To stay
For awhile

••

Feel the breath

( mine or yours )

We ask such silly questions !

••

Every god & goddess

Angel boy or girl or saint

Has rode the ole freight train

Has known the great divide

•

Has crossed the bridge on foot

Has walked bare footed city streets

Has slept with the ******* they love

Behind the dumpster in the rain

•

Silently

•••

I wander with the child

We wonder at the starry sky

We remember every birth

And every time we died

Together on the field

In utter fearless pride

We bathe in sacred light

We search for you within your eyes

••

This world is meaningless

Stuck together fitfully

One breath or cosmic wind

Will take it all away

And here we are again

••

All the scars are gone !

All the love we sought in fear


One by one look!

In truth we finally appear

••

In full power with no restraint

XxxxX

Hand in hand

Every woman man and child

///    \\

Soft

Soft as the reasons we need

To

Stay for awhile
