I heard
something
what about
a happening
gather spirit
where tribe
comes together
grand happenings
outstanding
joyeux ceremony
where kinship
pow wow exultation
wow is measured
worldly friendship
kind sharing
life's treasure
under summer sun
what a curious thing
earthly kinship
something goodly
a furious romance
into summer night
left then right
rising soundly
into that
uplifting
resounding
unbounded flight
then left again
stay grounded
where some
of us
finally
unencumbered
abandon everything
no wanting
let others
less needing
feed them
spiritual mind
caressing lovers
remember marvelous
dance freedom
blessed eternal
brilliant sacred fire
even one spark
a glowing ember
some kernel
a steady beat
on that sacred drum
inner warmth
we should desire
whatever could
inner fire want
kindling et fuel
wrapped in desire
loving arms
what we
truly need
those are certain
soulful things
that make us
feel warmth
deliver love
enlightened nourishment
yet sadly still
less encouragement
those tragic things
that have us
fall and bleed
there's a happening
sometimes frantically
remanded within
fanatically confined
insistent hearts
dark commands
parked inside
twisted heads
a gristful place
where
we continue
drastically sharpen
words with swords
where things happen
honing something
flattening hearts
grinding bones
misshaping minds
sharper and sharper
hard steel
or so
we thought
beneath that
shiny surface
remind
trusting me
shiny graphite 
is just
soft lead
no lasting edge
duller and duller
surprise surprise
there are those
life long
life is personal
long unpardoned
treacherous things
we truly dread
hard feelings
lost love
raging hot
steadfast
warlords
hard heads
if God
could see us
right now
these happenings
world and planet
street events
right here
violent life
greed midst hate
jealousy
kissed by desire
conjured dark clouds
enthralled by fate
pressure and presence
balled together
falling into
another heartless
crazy mindless
zombie night
feasting upon
heart and soul
carelessly rude
soulless savage
that insatiable
disastrous demon
always hungry
more wanting
forever devouring
stolen sweet dessert
eternally thirsty
swilling and chugging
strong whiskey
wrongly mixed
with bitter wine
detrimental
addiction reeling
mentally needing
a million licks
exponentially
a billion kisses
all that
zombie sweetened
drastic atmosphere
streams of red
tainted blood
grave mists
a delicious twist
orgasmic
intoxicating sweat
please wait
something still
less dire
less hateful
more than
gruesome buckets
of strained brains
even more than
defamed angel white
sweet dream wishes
infamously something
as we define
our devil selves
salted curds
cottage cheese
strained whey
aged fromage
unconstrained please
with treats
dollops
of fresh
thick cream
milk with honey
truly sweet
a cinnamon stick
for that soulful treat
spiritual passion
spice to live with
universal compassion
nice to give
whether contrite
soulful tribe
come together
willing hands
truthful choices
a community
of spiritual voices
moving and singing
about goodness
loving purity
hypnotic dancing
invoking 
ecstatic hope
so hope
does exist
such fantastic
happenings
creating
abundant bliss
grand openings
where community
realizes this
spiritually shaping
intelligence with ingenuity
stirring compassion
attach passion
empathetic relations
building nation
in a sacred fashion
what a refreshing
spiritual restoration
but if God
could see us
stuck
at this present
remorseful station
butt naked now
mother earth
would stop
should catch us
latch onto us
ball us up
watch us
weep and cry
send us 
all to hell
or to heaven
salute us
as we
fall and die
so God
call us
justifiable
it's happening
something
truthful need
we should
be free
learn to fly
we should
freely want
good life
fruit so sweet
it possesses us
makes us
lovingly bleed
sharing this life
so surely perfect
each pure breath
impressed with love
caresses us
blessed with bliss
feed our fire
soul's mystic voice
desires
universal love
all of us
those things
we've heard
we'll all rejoice
us humans
here in
this paradise
shangri-la
so we must try
as we
sometimes laugh
as we
sometimes cry
