Time Outside the Bottle
I think more of Time
Outside The Bottle:
Oh, I know the song,
and the natural impulse
to capture joy
for eternity,
but more I sense
a greater loss
without the freedom…
For joy to remain joy
must be able to grow
beyond the perimeters
to explore and renew
itself outside
in the mysteries
for the greater love
has no broader fear
than the limiting lines
not to cross,
confining one to
possession--
Perhaps what I reject
about most Gods
and all demons,
is their need
to feed off
one another
