Reawaken

Looking forward no mind can find
no mind can find the seconds passed
mute
the point of the present Locked away somewhere in there

now

Forever spoken aloud
Passing through the the point of present being
The comatose soul in Forever somewhere
But there was nothing

Looking back there was nothing not written down

Buried deep inside
Locked away passed
Without movement
The fogged mind can find itself momentarily mute
.....in there
Somewhere Never spoken aloud But meant to be said

They lived there lost
Yet the seconds passed to days

The reawakening soul
the mind let go

The reawakened soul
found

Soziale Plastik mit Joseph Beuys

Cherry Blossoms Are Blooming Now ~Variation 1

You said to me
A detached voice in the dead of night
(So far away....aren't you?)
Oh my love.....
I bet you never knew.....
.....Angel
You never knew
of anyone who was such big trouble,

And then from another corner of the world
A picture left to me
Of a garden in a church
(Cherry blossoms are blooming now)
Right across the street from where I live
A picture of now.......

Walking home that night....
The dark man who sat huddled casually
On the step of the store
owned by an irate japanese american man
...noone knew what he sold
and noone ever seemed to shop there
Who was against something but what it was was unknown
who had a huge parking lot but let noone park there
The stranger who trespassed upon this step
exchanged a glance with me as I walked past and said:

I'm not real......

I looked back and smiled.
But I did not say what I thought

None of us are.

Believing

There's no need to be scared
Everything will be all right
Just believe that
And it will be so
That's the trick....in believing.

I know you don't believe me.
That it couldn't possibly be that easy.
Well, it's not easy.
But it works.
Think of how the world could be

Think

If one person at a time
Just believed that the world could be better
Believed that people could heal
and let go of hatred, old wounds
Think of how the world would be

Think

If within yourself you said
I don't hate anyone
I forgive everyone everything
I'm not angry anymore
Think how you would feel

Free

You would feel free
You would become love
And your spirit of love would
TOUCH
others around you
and the world would change

LOVE

It doesn't matter in the end
who is right and who is wrong
who has the last word
If the word
the world
ends in hate

The world can change
Believe. Believe in love

LOVE

Giants

When we were small and young

and fragile

And giants ruled our world
We lived in awe

and fear

of these looming beings
These all knowing Gods
Our Father who art

Adults

Looming large against the sky
in heaven
as we, small, insignificant

innocent

turned our primitive minds and eyes
to gaze up at them
their figures emcased in a golden aura

Halos

from the sun beaming down on them

giving praise to
hallowed be they name
acknowledging the omnipotence of
these glorious dark creatures

of light

These dieties
GIANT giants
MAN gods

in all their glory glory glory

hallelujah

In their greatness
Their power
Thy kingdom come
They lorded over us the little creatures
Thy will be done
forever and ever and ever

amen

Their word like the commandments
On earth as it was
Straight from the heavens
their voices booming like God

GOD

from the highest mountain
Thunderous
Absolute

They were the giants
The monsters in the night
in our closet under the bed
The things we feared obeyed
cowering genuflection

Worshipped

Suffer the little children to come unto me

Until it was our turn
to loom big against the sun
to be the giants
but somehow

some way
forgive me my trespasses

at least for me
Should I forgive those who trespassed

against me?

the magic was gone.
