life

protect your mirror
so that your reflection
cannot be broken
mindful of every word
ever spoken
write it down
if it must be written
never walk away
unaccomplished
after sitting
taste but do not swallow
spit it out into something
hollow
pour out the word
light will always follow
no one should be empty
when there is a bottle
labeled THRUTH
and in it there is
plenty
the key is to find
not to keep or to bind
for another time
throwing rocks in the street
is what, makes stones to weep
those who are away
forget how to sleep
it's too hard to
see through too deep
one must pray constantly
while, underneath
a painful process
like, cutting new teeth
while the baby weeps
no one sleeps
pain is a wake up call
for us all to change
