by virtue of loss?
we can only see suffering
when we are suffering?
we can only feel compassion
when we are hurting?
we only stand up
when we’re pushed in a corner?
we can only find God
when the situation is hopeless?
we spend our whole lives
building walls that keep us
from being free!
we are with the most,
and are closest to…
is the person we know least about…
our self!

today i tripped crossing the room!
you are only as distant
as the prayers of
semen stained thighs…
i am only as near
as the spider sleeping
in the hollow of your neck!
god yawns…. people get old,
sputter, and die…
but the voices remain,
with beckoning fires!

Christians dont act like Christ?
lovers dont give like love?
and dead people need you to weep?
a free country doesnt allow freedom?
poverty doesnt justify?
great men forget about small men?
and you’ve forgotten my name?
why is it?
and why do i care?

Is much more a curiousity
Than sitting with others
Discussing spouses and mates
With those they are discreetly dating?
When some prefer to have peace of mind,
Without keeping a record of which lies to tell
To whom and who to swear to secrecy!
Cheating seems to please,
Some who do not mind being worthless creeps!
Living that kind of ‘excitement’…
Does not always guarantee a peaceful sleep!
However…
Those alone but not lonely,
Have no problem doing that easily!
Without wondering if doors and windows have been locked.
Sealed with alarms turned on to detect motion!
Or pleading for an unreturned key told missing…
Before the locksmith is called!
Leaving one sleeping soundly…
To dismiss myths about bliss!
And finding a sunrise that awakens one rested,
Free and completely unannoyed by bad habits
Hard to break.

Ignoring someone else?
That has been done to me.
And I’ve seen that done
By those,
I imagine…
Want some attention to come.
But wouldn’t it be easier,
To wave or speak?
Instead of pretending not to notice,
Someone known.
Or someone that is sought,
That they want not shown
To them they seek!

And mine is clearing?
I am feeling more peaceful within.
You seem to welcome a disarray,
Appearing everyday to be getting dim.
Have we chosen this shifting of wits?
There is no explanation,
For this to happen as it is.
Not Like this!
Splitting us is our way of life!
On one side of it is darkness…
And on the other appears more light.
Coming to correct that which was wrong.
Yet through blight…
Haven’t we come together to sing songs?
Why is it…
Your reality fades.
And mine is clearing?
Are we nearing the beginning,
Of an ending that transcends?
And which one of us then…
Will find more or less ‘anything’ to defend?
You with your weapons?
Or me,
Who prefers peace to release,
A humanity wishing goodwill to increase?
This process seems to be…
Of My Father’s doing!
And what He wishes to see unfold!
Since there is no obvious outcome to behold!
Without fights of conflict to settle what is right!
Shouldn’t we be holding each other close?
Knowing whatever happens,
We love each other most!
My Father is the ‘Host’ of this reality!
Who knows what jokes He has!
