Today…
Is about the questions
Answers elude me
They are nowhere to be found
Mind and heart
Fight for terrain
There’s no making sense
Of the stormy exchange
I rise and observe
From a mighty place
The funny mayhem
Of my many selves
Roguery smile
Stifles the laugh
A stunned victim
Says goodbye
Today…
Where are you going? You used to be mine!
Surprises itself by letting go pain
Witnessing it
Just passing by
Is a lofty feat
Of colossal size
The eyes that behold
Such an uncommon true
Look around to be sure
They are not being fooled
Ego had it chance
And was quickly replaced
An unusual charm
Danced it away
Indifference well dressed
Came to exult
Or assert its place
Where all duty fades
The unknown is by sure
A terrible guest
And Blood shall become
An avoidable threat
Love can be fleeting, yes
When the shell is about to break
Or coming to die in the grip
Of fear disguised as guilt
Today…
Is a second in time
One forged in dear life
Spent to recall the Who
Able to heal the wound
I grabbed just one
One answer in the bottomless Bag
Nobody can steal from you
The vision of our glorious life
We give it up,
In weary times,
Is easier to blame
Than conquer our minds
But heart drips with passion
Igniting the soil beneath
Tight squeezes the Soul
It never gives in
Unhindered Truth peeks
And sneaks through a sweet crack
Left by an inner light
Brighter than a star
Today…
I leave the questions
And the Answers to the Sky afar
To delight in a moment
When “I” was really “I”
