Life-ing
Alive is to grow
and die and birth
Human… to know
THAT we are alive
To love abundance
not as an observer
But by making love

Where sight gives sway
to depths of trust
Acting in ways that
know only in faith
Going down deeper

Stooping to levels

As One pulse of novelty
vibrates inside darkness
Breaking sometimes gently
often painfully
Borders that protect
only insofar as they admit
Otherness that has somehow
already crossed inside
The stranger within that
risks life in death
Bearing true mind
in kindness of Heart
Embodying the soul
Shared wholly by all
Shall we place
each Other within?!…

Resting in the numbness and dumbness of mistaken identities
that curl up inside whatever we believe.…
