They said listen to your heart.
I tried doing that only to realize that
My heart speaks a language I don't understand.

Quapaw is an extinct language
of an American Indian tribe
of Arkansas U.S.A.

I wonder
how many other languages
have humans spoken throughout history
which are now extinct?

I wonder
what secrets
did these lost languages contain
about how to live
a joyful and happy life
within Destiny?

Petulance
The redundant quarrel
The mind betwixt in atrophy
Though only psychologically
It rapes the soul, the mind of idle insanity

Jaded, wax upon the distant periphery

Perceptive filter overrun and clogged
And emotionally, numbness
In indignant retaliation, drained, apathetic
Pleasure turns to irritation

Socially, drugged, to mask
the pain of aging without progress
As if dragging myself through sodden debris;
gore, filth, disgusting
I am unclean

all that we know or imagine is
bound by limitations of
language, body, and mind

language limits us
for how can we communicate all
with only words?

body limits us
for how can we sense all
with only our body?

mind limits us
for how can we let go
when fear imprisons us?

love is the saving grace
love breaks the shackles
of our earthly limitations

language cannot fully express love
body cannot fully hold onto love
mind cannot fully understand love

yet we know love
when we experience it
that makes love the most real of all
