Touch Points

Our lives
That flow directionally
That rhythmically dis-enable pause
which absence disaffects our vision
distances our presence
Leaves us obtrusively reactive

Our differences 
That comprise our completion
That obscure our Human fabric
whose mantle of sameness
is woven by the spirit of time 

Our Pain 
whose inert rise 
diffuses our nobility into non-movement 
and solitary loss

Our spirit
Innate and lost
Accessible 
Available
Ignored

Our selves
Soar and roar
Only if with others
Enlivened by simple gestures 
Whose measure encompasses the continuum of time

Our prayer
Bleeds despair
Seeks comfort
Acknowledges silence of fear
And the sounds of truth
Beseeched by memories eternal
Fall prey
To the wisdom of false pride

Homeless

In the storm of a creator’s inspired landscape
Spirit appeared as though since ever
Its invisible droplets of essence
Embedded in all recipients
Allowing for an errant notion of knowledge

A house without a blueprint
Spectacular in its presence
Boundless in its multiple expressions
Renewing itself without instruction or direction
Other than its own survival

The house the Lord built
That introduced the concept of choice
That begot notions of individuality
That illuminated the capacity for self-aggrandizement
That shed light on definitions of difference
That ignored in Whose Universal image all definitions belong
That enabled His light to become apart
So that only those who understood and sought
Could reach for its encompassing warmth
Thus subjugating even Him
To otherness
A choice
