Go Beyond Yourself


do not become-
that which    you loathe and hate-
revulsion intoxicating
      despicable and cruel
        let thoughts of revenge fall away

go        beyond       yourself

rise up    over and above
see your vast artistic tableau
this gift the Lord himself gave you
and to all the others who share your vision
words and verses
beautiful

let go of the insignificant

the unimportant
the trivial and the petty
(go        beyond      yourself)
where poemsgossamer are dancing
twirling     swirling    whirling     cascadingdown

no matter how much your heart is bleeding
do not
become
that
    which
       you loathe
                and hate

yourheartisbroken      but you will rise up
      higher than before     stronger       wiser


oh just let go   of the weeping     dear heart
I promise

the pain will end for you
the bleeding will stop in time
your pen will drip words forever
but the hateful and cruel will always be

               rise up-
                   be a lovely bird
                        with majestic wings
                           fluttering in the sunshine
                                      go beyond yourself
                                                 and your pain
     turn your emotions into poems that float and drift above
