you've lived life
laughed your head off
you've witnessed miracle birth
you've wept and cried
fraternized with morbid death
you've felt things deep inside
every tear and deep breath
measuring moments
each pounding heartbeat
measured existence
perhaps invincible love
even intolerable hate
perhaps justice or indifference
hopefully complete and utter joy
you've jogged and run
shuffled and walked
you've sometimes fallen
 stumbling and spinning
experiencing hardship and pain
there have been exceptional moments
floundering and grumbling
including intentional tethering
tying yourself to some sacred ground
those regimented thoughts
truth and lies can both be found
profound inceptual pleasuring
if pleasure is ever to be found
it is in your inventive mind
grounded you've been awake
dumbfounded you've rested and slept
at times defeated by dumb and blind
you've dreamed just for dream sake
sometimes feeling completed
complicated by demons and angels
instigating night terrors
sometimes that steamy erotic space
relishing sticky honey
slathering fruit with sweet cream
each recipe a delicious vision
invictus revelation
all our human relations
country and city folk
reciprocally bleed with all life's muss and fuss
proceeding along life's uneven lines
acceptance accompanying tolerance
one balancing dream after another
sometimes there are deep divisions
one dreadful steep after the other
one phalanx confronting another
every creed and needy vision
something about brothers and sisters
everything concerning fathers and mothers
segmented by this over blown world
consent falls down on its knees
reliance sowing viable seeds
commit to reliable alliance
still passion can't solve death
instill resolution in reasonable fashion
distilled liken this to trees
a Druid mindset
involving rocks and deep roots
social gatherings with home grown food
featuring seasonal mood swings
a willing audience of brooding birds
avast the disappearing bees
alas those disappearing singing trees
reflect upon every wooden cross and crest
inspect every vacant birds nest
mourn silent bee hives
gone is the honey
becoming sweet life
pollinators feed all the growing world
so you're moaning because you've been bitten
smitten you've read and written
watched as unfitting things unfold
cultivating fire in your mind
sparking all this human trying
so much pain and crying
what if we find human
that life is simply saying
help nourish yourselves
perhaps some happy day
you'll find flocks of chirping birds
busy buzzing bees and forests full of singing trees
you've seen and smelled moist earth
disheveled you've dug trenches
at times worry for all you're worth
you've avoided some of those stormy seas
building castles and strong rock walls
your preying paranoia created these
east west north and south
there is still sacred divinity
echoed by every human call
art deco and divine God
treasuring colour and illumination
alas grim humans and dim insanity
remember to keep perpetual and forever in mind
harbour some slice of transcendental light
a comprehensive healing test
arbors of revelation and incarnation
joined by incidental humankind
revolution coins crass vanity
instrumentally involving ruminating humans
solvency formed with humanity's vitality
vast convention that is free wheeling
revealing feeling radiant life
revelation consistent with this mortal space
impacting both sordid and elevated feelings
cutting fueled emotion with a fitting razor knife
muttering insistent cruel notions
consistently reflecting both yours and mine
attendant with all these worldly commotions
reversing each confection with some valid reason
changing every curse into a blessing
redressing errors that wither every vine
then enter immortal Caesar
powerful address in this gutter time
