Poem Title:
Poem
Teeter totter This is my voice, writing from within too without For a long time, I wasn't listening to my soul. I was wearing shoes to protect From the stones and the mud and the bugs in the grass. I was afraid of feeling feelings I want to tell you something If we crossed on the street I will smile and say hello Not to your face, to your body, brain knots I would say hello to your soul! You, the shoot that branches You, and opens up and out You, Whose Smiles Blooms! U If we crossed on the street I would smile and it would travel a mile! Into your soul, I found my soul! The cup, the bowl, the form the gives and receives. That's loving! That's living! I am beginning to see !!!knots!!! n Me, the mean frown Me, enveloped n Woe is me! That's all noise. Coming from, my other voice Listen! silence begets listening I am a simpleton its true I am simple and I am weighty. I will be quality! The very simplest of things Is balancing! Space the elephant. Mass the mouse. Teeter totter Hate, the evil. Love, our gift. on which end? I choose to give! From my soul! and Love pours out, and overflows creating new living Apples! Marriage, two smiles Two gifts bestowed Simultaneously That is reciprocity! Eternity is Good The fulcrum the law is smiling meekness mona lisa One cannot gift without giving And it creates new life! It's the only thing that works, without breaking a sweat, and without breaking the law! The law works without batting an eye, or shrugging a shoulder or any of that! Love plus love begets more love Hate plus anything it's going to break! Eventually, because the law works and never breaks. Reciprocity! Reciprocity! Hate is the shelter, Hate is the ship, Hate forms the shell To protect me from it! Why?!!!? Let the jellyfish swim, Let it pulse and move. Let the waves come as they may and just walk barefoot. Sailors, Hikers always wave in communion. Not peeking through smudged glass No difference of opinion Just waving and smile And saying hello! Drivers, they are not the same. They hid! Why? Open your window, and give some apples! I am finally giving some apples of my own. Give a stranger an apple, you'll plant and seed and they'll be fed forever free from want or need! It's amazing A maze of wonder and joy! within this world I once knew when I was a young boy. In levity, Descending Waters I will water my roots, and spread many branches And make apples. And give them too. Too you!
