2003-07-08 - 5:49 p.m. once in a boyhood lullabye the forest marauded my untrained eye rushing upon my inner thigh, burst-upon senses soaring high, hushing the drone of conformity lavishly, wildly affirming me and in the dawn of consciousness a weedless lawn somehow exists between what is and is to be I know it's hard but please hear me this is the stuff where dreams come true that child deep down inside of you yonder on that rock plateau there is a woman that I know so deep, multi-dimensional, determined and intentional high and humble shamed and proud feel the rumble see the cloud twisted long dead desert trees gray and knobby at the knees are the only remnants of childhood dreams of hope and love hope to hope and dream to dream some things aren't what they seem what happened to her garden fair with rides and fun games everywhere? did consciousness expand, exceed the carnival of lust and greed? did they get overgrown with weeds? did too much training dog the deeds? as WiLdNeSs yields to food and whip was something lost? did something slip? did we go soft? are we still hip? here's the gateway, here's the key: I finally reached the end of me there life for me became so dry until God's Spirit whet my eye for newness in the midst of fate there's hope for me, it's not too late! and that became the sprout of faith which grew at an alarming rate and now promotes this ecosystem benefits (too much to list them) roots preventing soil erosion nourishment and fruit explosion shade and branch of bird and nest grown at random but still blessed by the Spirit which caressed every mutual bond at best you take one step, He takes the rest He helps you to endure the test you pass with colors flourescent He'll hook you up -- I swear, my friend! the sorrows do not always end but there will be a guiding wind and you'll reflect back now and then and say, "Hey! freakyouout was right!" on that breezy quiet night your dreams will be a sweet delight and they'll come true (or be in sight) I'm praying that for you, you'll see, a starry sky for you and me � � |
