Humility.
To be humble is a funny thing.
To feel compassion ties in with desire to sing, and write prose—whether that be on wings or on notion..
I must tell you that now I can see you as ocean..
“Hold on to the thread – the currents will shift…
Guide me towards you – know,
Something’s left… and we’re all alive – to dream of the next –
Time … we touch.
You don’t have to stray, the oceans away…
Waves roll in my thoughts.
Hold tight the ring, the sea will rise … please stand by the shore,
Ohhhh I will be---
I will be there once more….” Eddie Vedder Pearl Jam
I could never promise you more than being your Romeo- you being Juliet..
Walk the streets – walk the earth . as if I ever fucking cared!!
But now I do.
And now I know.
That everything, relates to this moment and you…
Don’t be frightened I am not a soul to fix
I too was borne from stones and sticks…
Porcelain is awesome – not really it is awful, like most of mans constructs Earth killing – mass swilling – fast moving --- mineral laden trucks and trains, then comes rain, another version of your wonderful way.
Washes away man’s filth and decrement and renews life and streets- become new again,
now I can go back to sleep….
