Into One

Leave me
Bad timing
Filterless funnymen
Ghosts of the most awful prose

Wash me
Rhythm of mine
Gleeful girl-woman
Eyes on the here and the now

Find me
In universe perfect metre
Simple-hearted simpleman
Helpless and helpmeet alike

Though you know your words won’t change the truth
You’ll utter them, won’t you

When bitter honesty, rained down with lightning’s splendor 
Ought leave you speechless

Why the hope-filled hollow, a fathom deep and wide
Which dwarfs you -why the denial

When with empty hands and learned heart, you realize
Your faith was fated after all 

His Holy Truth

Things are not what we thought
And in the morning, we wake and learn
Nothing is as we were told 
Either
This was all spin
Swinging, as a tired disco ball
Except
There is that standing truth
Upright and all
Vertically oriented
Waving at us in this bad wind:
Let go
Let go
At the same time, love it all

Does it seem sensual?
What else could cause you 
To cast off your clothes,
To peel away as if parched 
The years of you and me
Of we? On your way
To some other’s carefree closet? 
Nevertheless, there’ll not be a Day
In which I won’t want
This old coat to cling ever so tight.

What is the loveliest thing
I Am that

Who is the most humble One
I Am He

Where does the Earth need the Sky
I Am there 

The way we must live to fight well
I Am how

The reason that they will hear hope
I Am why

The now to remember your strength
I Am when

LOVE

No heart involved
No
It is the skin
It is the thick and the tender
That the blind won’t abide
That the visionary won’t avoid 
The rough and the soft
The sweat, the tears, the blood
Which ought run free
Which prove the day-in and day-out
To beautify that veneer
To strengthen the hearts involved
