poetry is my remedy for apathy
strange how simple words can
cut away through my indifference
the act of creation in the written word
helps me connect to something greater than myself,
so slowly but surely my numbness subsides
poetry leads me into mystery,
where beauty can be found in
simplicity of a single moment
my mundane life flowers into
a spiritual experience,
when I flow into love and service
there is either apathy or poetry
in changing a poopy diaper,
pausing before saying a hurtful word,
and letting go the need to be right.
my life moves and quakes into new being,
and all because i let words flow in me and through me.
i am a living book bursting at the seams,
waiting to be poured out and shared.
spoken and written words break me out of isolation,
and sets me free.
two simple words cut through my apathy,
"thank you."
