Layers

I wonder who I am
Or what or who is the am
I sense this is a layer,
a layer on top of another
Or is my sensing about this layer,
just another layer upon a layer
I am wondering
I am pondering
What is really going on
Is this all another trickster’s play
or am I really on my way,
deeper, further, forward,
or am I going backwards
Bewildering it is
I guess, a bit amusing too
Will I ever really know
Is someone poking fun at me
Am I the big clown, again
Or am I just truly becoming,
growing through and into,
another layer,
of a deeper reality…

I would be whole


How to find balance
I want to go outward,
when I should go inward
I want to express,
when I should mute

Passion is high
I may go astray
I may go wild
Or I may show the way,
heal the divide

I am weary of speaking
Too much mouth,
me and all around
Need to lean in,
make ears bigger

Want to speak,
when I should listen
Oh, help me, help me
Please, the desire is good
Need to find direction
Outward, inward, yes both

So easy to misstep
So easy to break
I want to avoid,
the break up,
the break down

Oh, wise man,
I cry out to you,
channel the might
Wise woman too,
show me the light
I want to go, also let go,
yet, better I would be whole

Inspiration

I sense an inspiration
Fire and river
It is all a part
of you and of me

Life is a living dream
Life is wild
Yes, life is a party
That is true

Still, this blood runs deep
The voice of inspiration,
more of a whisper,
than a thunder loud

This sense of inspiration,
is a call from the river within
It finds its strength
from all forces unified

So, life is a party, yes
Yet, it is also a call
Life is meant to be lived,
by the tall and the small

In the end,
what really mattered,
was not the idea or the image,
the fame or the show,
but a faithful trust in this flow
