Feral Cats and Gods

We've got a short time to make it to the top.
To climb the neck bones of our elusive God.
A short time to scribe, knead, travel, paint. 
Crash land into a true soul mate.
Elevate to the next consciousness.
Build your own rose petal nest.

Life is a fiery sprint, 
a taste of earth, a splash of mint.
Where's the synergy of heart + soul?
The silver sheen of youthful shoals.
The antidote for hopelessness
The patch over the sinkhole of the mind. 

The neck bone staircase has vanished into the clouds. 
We've a short time to unstitch the light from the shroud. 
To leave something profound, everlasting, behind.
Something more than selfies and a jar of forgotten ashes.  
Such a short time to escape from the stall
The dream is swifter than the dreamer after all.

I began smiling at the title, and never stopped smiling. This is such a sing-song cadence, and a fun-loving, wonderful super terrific poem. It is on my FAV list.
