life... 

looking back 

to the beginning

 

following its course...

 

a battle we seem 

to think we're winning

 

choosing sides in a divorce?

when all the while 

 

we should be changing course

back to the source

 

others may make it seem

this is only a dream

 

to have you give up... 

what it is they're after

 

written upon your genes

 

Remember this

freedom is a game they play

 

inviting you to play games of chance

taken by things you may not understand

 

at first requests, next come demands

practiced steps ...in the devils dance

 

things are not always what they seem

...you, who have the dreams

 

Not to conquer planets

this is your world... 

 

Before you move on to the next

understand what it is to be here

 

compare all of this, to

what is it like on lifeless planets

 

on this world... with its great diversity

poised delicately, profusely furnished

 

with a rich array of life forms

do we even understand it

 

this balancing act... we enjoy

if that's what it is

 

yet, those who speak 

as if they'd planned it

 

We who suckle at the teat 

of mother nature

 

still dangling on thin ropes 

we have fashioned out of twine

 

living in homes of wood and clay

armed with a sense of curiosity 

 

we waste on trivial things

with fools as kings

 

forgetting all the while

who put the rhyme in rain

 

will our AI recognize 

the intricate patterns 

 

of interactions between raindrops 

as they fall free

 

yet tethered to the wind/storms gentle breezes 

as atmospheric rivers flow

 

giving rebirth in with the lightest touch...

expanding, as it grows

 

while interacting 

with the whole of nature

 

touching intimately

passing through time/space

 

moving between

passions and dreams 

 

with purpose only we know 

the beauty in its glow

 

rising by increments 

as we come to know

 

to feel a resonance 

showing gratitude 

 

at loves return

its display, 

 

merely a start of 

a wondrous interaction

 

activated by the touch 

of sun within its heart

 

which hunger for the sweet kiss 

of moisture magic

 

how could a soul resist 

the love expanding across dimensions

 

As a mother showering love upon her children

even in the mists

 

falling upon the barren plains

interactions which allow us 

 

to siphon off a little

and establish a self-sustaining blend of nutrients 

 

we can grab and go 

without destroying anything

 

like the wind... as nature knows

its there, if you know where to find it

 

and to those not blinded 

by a selfishness/greed

 

to spread the love 

and share the seed 

 

of unspoiled dignity, 

true royalty

 

sharing love... not spreading 

pain/death/misery

 

We who plant the seed...

beacon you to join us

 

when we fed you at our tables

you studied, thus were enabled 

 

to recreate the pattern of our success

not to own us... to be blessed

 

then, how does this food 

find its way to our tables

 

are we asking the right question, 

are we able

 

To... recognize the patterns in the maze

which brought us to this phase

 

balanced upon a tears//hardships

of so many lives before us

 

sacrificing everything

if Heaven has a chorus 

 

it is their voices which enrich 

and carry in its song

 

who puts the rhythm in the sun

we see a steady light

 

and feel its fire even on a cold day

inspired perhaps

 

to know its familiar feeling 

upon our skins

 

as it begins to penetrate 

our souls within

 

you who feel the love

in Life
