Far Out in Space

Far out

In space

There’s time

To breathe

And in

Your life

You find

A sheath

In which 

To still

The sword

Of hate

It’s made

Of blood

And drowned

With weight

But Earth

Creates

Its own

Accord

With Time

And Space

With plow

And sword.

Here

So here,
dear, we sit again
any wiser?
Sir, we sigh
crying moments without thought
ought to lie still
till dawn breaks
aching with yolk purity
teaching the line that divides the waters
sorts being from void
buoyed by light
sight fails me
seeing clearly blind
finding you again
here

Don’t Fall For It

Don’t fall for it
Inside this cavern
There’s still light
And lots of wax besides
To melt down, to build up new candles
Now is the time
We have made you for
Now it’s time 
To open your door
To be generous
They want you to shut down
Be overwhelmed 
Each one an island in the gloom
Don’t fall for it!
