Be the Tree


When the winds

blow

From where we know not

where

Do not be afraid to give way

***

When the rain and

snow

fall and the sun singes your

hair

You don't have to say what you want to say

(FUCK!)

***

When cosmic influence

tells you to fall

to take out a car

or a

powerline

Do not delay


But understand

that if something should take you

and your roots

out of the ground and into the world

Its importance is insurmountable

incalcuable

entirely dramatical

Essential to this cosmic play

***

Be the Tree

and

Let your design guide your Way

....nature knows....

never will they stop
never will they thrash

always will they grasp...

attainment ever hovering
just beyond the buds

keep climbing...
keep stretching...

...giving to the circle
...receiving from the circle

being the circle

too many times
has a gust of wind come my way
that didn't make me wonder
didn't make me want to say

was there intention in that winds breath?
a certain deft
without a threat

circles and circles you say
and that is how i be
you give carbon to me
and i give oxygen so you can see

keep stretching
keep climbing

the original tree of knowledge
is somewhere on the horizon

being the circle
being the circle
my god man your made of circles!
circles of three dimensions
infinite space
but watchout because someone will tell you to live the ratrace
where bones scatter and tears fall
hateful words spring from a well where there is no knowledge at all

turn your senses inward
perhaps
to the minds eye

if there are three dimensions
lets give three a try

a previous wave of emotion
but not from the past

too many questions
locks to unlatch
