Ateasement
Beyond the barriers we strive
lies nonresistant distant eyes,
to end or to the end
As cosmic dust falls and fly's.
Silent greed, utter arrogance
leap over and over and then
lost and bound by the blend,
one more each day or hour
can make a fool grin and grin.
Wild flowers bloom in spring;
can't tell a friend anything,
its safe to freeze a fire
dreams flee this buyer.
bells ring, bears sing
fight each flight they bring.
Cross the line, watch them chime
hour for hour day for day
allow an open blindfold mind.
retain what has crossed the dividing line
For an instant you can own the time
