I reached
Told you what you couldn’t hear
Scarred you are and far from me
Far too far from me
And I, I fear
Saturated
Society’s lies
Our actions, absent
Our language, lacking goodness
Why do we not care?
And love, life and breath
And all I’ve never grasped for
Are fleeting, I know
I am at rest there
In that small space
That dazzling place
Away
The rest of the world
Keep your small-talk
Your Earth-bound walk
Away
Young man, when I’m old
If I’ve lost the key
Please help my heart to enter in
Remember for me, if I’ve forgotten
What we’ve built
What we’ve saved from the fire
Tell how death brought forth life
On our paths that diverged
How we’re found together again
Ought I bake a cake with this
One I whip up on the fly
A pretty thing to be consumed
Ultimately?
Do I don the corduroy
Deep thinking, feigned or actual
With elbows patched so scholarly
Egotistically!
Shall I sit alone with this
As ancient wisdom would advise
Perhaps eternally, but seek
Tranquility.
Or will I simply walk with you
In sweet-smart cameraderie
Joining hands from East to West
Intimately….
Unthaw me
Shroud and shield me if you must
Reign over, rain on
Strike me sober
I can’t care, if that’s your way
All you do, I know it’s true!
Will ultimately unthaw me
The Scene: You are an actor and I, an epic script
With minds to set the screen afire
With hope upon our lips
The Method: Be emboldened and feel the risk with me
We’ll project timeless, endless strength
We’ll cast doubt to the sea
The wolf surveyed me
And I held my very breath
Until he saw fit
