everything appeared streaky
streaked middle ground
streaking undergrowth and ground cover
streakiness everywhere
even Heaven and Hell were streaked
streakiness causing confusion
places and things
all streaked with desire
strange thing about streaky
every which way seems to be freaked out
freakiness is like that streakiness
always twisted out of shape
non-conformist
continuously deformed
most often bleak
even terrifying
never performing
difficulty reforming
streaky thoughts
streaked vision
hearing all streaked with distortion
all this streakiness
admittance of some grim disturbance
disturbing beyond comprehension
every dimension streaked and smeared
when everything is smeared and blurry
who can possibly find their way
say we found a way
wiping away at least some of that streakiness
perhaps even enough for some clear view
even further remove
all that bleak streakiness
go as far as breaking the primordial mirror
suddenly there are no streaks or reflection
only one way left to go
some clear direction
where we all can see
a 360 view with that correction
instantly we are enlightened
no longer confused and frightened
Heaven and Hell are even brighter
the very sky seems brilliantly lighter
we feel more resilient
breathing easier
our chests are less tight
our messed up thoughts are freed up
less angst in our lives
existence without fighting
in sight some contrite purity
everything good and sacred
now that we've cleared away
all that streakiness
we are naked
naked but not afraid
every steep grade
becoming more level
we're no longer disheveled
there is still an edge
but instead of steep it's beveled
so God help us
take away our streaky dreams
even if it seems impossible
those places that once were impassable
because suddenly we have wings
soaring above and far beyond
leaving all those streaked and bleak ways behind us
entreating our enriched souls
to take us even past the stars
to that place humankind always seeks
but we must remain humble and even meek
finding that magic in our lives
those things that mystery and mystical always seem to hide
that realm where we can confide in God
odd how streakiness compels us
our hopes for a clear vision
us humans wanting something good and true
perhaps if we learn to lift the blinding veil
so we can clearly think and see and do
then all that streakiness will disappear
maybe there is happiness and joy in something new
what should we think
what should we do
wipe away all that streakiness in our lives
greet each day with true adoration
share the world like we knew
that blessed sacredness
is what our Creator meant
for both me and you
