Other Than Ourselves
Wayward, frolic into left wings
That which brings me different
Wave of introspection
Putting myself into harm’s way
If I stay where I’m at
I could become nothing
But I desire to be more than
So I harvest a new timeline
Belonging to myself only
But truth be known
It’s just a left wing
Nut job of a thought
To be free within this world
Where we could live left(…)
To our own devices
And to please ourselves
But only by the expense
Of ourselves is truly a thought
That can’t become true
There are always others
That protrude into our life
Allowing us to feel
A powerful being of love
Whenever we need this
From being so lost within
Ourselves, we think that we can
Do it all by our own devices
But we can’t
We aren’t created to be alone
We must have companionship
And friendship
We must have this bond
That will never separate
And that which makes us feel
That we belong in this world
For a purpose, other than ourselves
Russell Sivey
