ACCEPT THE FACT THEY EXIST

 

Accept the fact they exist

Don’t necessarily interact

Don’t let stupidity provoke you

No needless action

No undisciplined words

Self-contained if need be

Maintaining dignity

Not allowed to collapse

            Things you learn on a long road

            Happy times and sad

            The ebb and flow of circumstance and mood

            Silent water of a deep sea

            Controlling temperature to a degree

            No one able to push you

            As you flex and bend and modify in the wind

            Becoming the sail

            Lifting up above sea

            Who is that human riding the fin

            That cuts through the waves?

            Why do they seek to fly

            And what do they win?

Perhaps a moment of grace

As they rise feeling grace.

Maybe a moment touching God

Free from suffering and waste.

Possibly unique to each

As they realize the common end

But can’t determine when.

            A few afternoons unconfined

            Breathing clean cool air

            In a circus atmosphere

            Alone yet totally together
