there and here

There And Here
6-6-12


It is spoken that if you're not with them
Then you're against them
Yet I must be true to this day of compromise
With the burden that prophets do see
In declining from a proposition
To be truthful in my intent
Not against them
Yet choosing to be separate
While present in spirit and heart
Feeling worthy in that they want me there
As I wish them well
Just the same in my intent....








Happy To Be Square
6-6-12


Called a coward by the critic within
Yet choosing to reinforce this judgment
With an affirmation of encouragement
Reflected in the remaining light of day
As such a critic says be there or be square
Yet I heed not such a reputation
According to what I might be called
In choosing to stay home from the picnic
To partake in what is here
Without a need to seek after
Anything more than what is Now...








I Seek Other Hermits
6-6-12


In the bible I look for a man that is set apart from the flock
As a nonconformist
In that he will choose to go his own way
Like Jonathan Livingston Seagull
In the idea of breaking away to eat beans at home
Instead of going to the picnic
To love the aroma of his own flatulence
Later this evening
As my brother compares my life to that of Noah
Just to be in jest
A friend even when I am distant
Seeing that in truth I did not miss out...
