Seems to be the result.? Of some
Great ammount' of continued
Miss-under estimation
I stood in front of the mirror
As naked as could be
The goal was to make an estimation of me
I saw eyes
That overlooked truth for lies
In order to prepare a drink
For lips
That greedily sipped
To strengthen breasts
That harbored contention
To energize feet
That blindly followed the path of dissension
I stood in the front of the mirror
After scrubbing vigorously
The goal was to make an estimation of me
I saw a face
That was searching for forgiveness and grace
To be prepared with strength
So as to cleanse a heart
That had been ripped apart
In order to open a soul
That held the key
To unlock a truth
That launched real freedom and beauty
It is tonight
I and my best friend decided
We shall make things right
We can't love each other and be divided
And for all I might
I shall say it and be delighted
What shall be said shall be said
By the sayer
and what shall be heard shall be heard
By the hearer
We cannot hold it till we're dead
Says the sayer
Tonight we go for a walk
To no destination
And as we walk we talk
To no estimation
And all shall be said in bulk
So we make the decision
But remember
Not December
It is tonight!!
EcoPolyPaths:
Avenues for restoring stressed
traumatized PolyVillage EcoCulture
and
marginalized Regenerative EarthJustice
Usually inter-religiously inspired by asking
What would I/We look
sound
green taste
smell
touch
feel like
making win/win healthy and safe co-passion
with this
sacred holistic room
yard
forest
desert
body of water
state of trans-national soil
mountain
river
home
family
tribe
species
relationship?
Within this severed win/lose,
yet potential win/win,
integral
inviting
next situation.
There are times when people under estimate me
And my drive to be what I always wanted to be
It has made me wonder how it came about
When they thought that they could measure the clout
That they wanted to give to me at the time
And to see the panic on their own face is quite fine
Knowing when it blows up in their face
With them back pedalling to save the disgrace.
