UNIFIED THEORY
When I build the circuit correctly the light comes on. When I heal the shards together the bell rings. If I am meticulous and attentive, if the world is gracious and bares herself to my mind, I will see how everything fits. I know the reflexive nature of things, and the way life folds one thing inside the other. Whale song is a long slow underwater birdcall. Moon rise, sun rise, then the moon again. The universe works without my interference but also without my complete understanding. I am learning how to be a part of this beautiful maze; I long to comprehend it. The weeds are trying to take back the city. If I lay down maybe they will take me back, too. If I keep my eyes open I might see it all unfold. Conception without is my desire within.
Make emotional bouquets for your mind.

Recognition
All I have are these two hands
I can not lift the world
All I have are these two legs
I can not flee the hoards
All I have is this one heart
though need and want prevail
All that’s left is this one mind
to try to tell this tale.
Everything in this bright orb
is there for me to see
Everything laid out before me
all that I can be
Everything that I perceive as wrong
and know it in my heart
Everything I think to touch
and change believing it’s my art
Once I take the giant reins
acceptance escapes the scene
Once the fates are in my grasp
chaos is the theme
Once the sight of my right place
is lost from in my mind
Once I try to fill the great big shoes
is the day that I go blind.
