Love To Recompose (+1)

If you cut it up in pieces,

will you miss the whole unseen

 

Its DNA in tatters,

and soul now left the scene

 

In your search for understanding

do your eyes burn hot and fry

 

From visions tightly woven,

—whose knots you must untie

 

When your world is brought to rubble,

with its remnants cast about

 

Will you try to re-inflate balloons,

whose air has long blown out

 

But tomorrow there’s a sunrise,

and the next day after that

 

With not one question you need ask,

to bring the daylight back

 

And once you learn this secret,

now at rest upon your nose

 

Your mind will free with spirit joined,

—their love to recompose

Juice In The Bottle

 

All magic—today,

past future astray

 

This moment—alive,

all others contrived

 

“Juice in the bottle,

cup in your hand

 

Pour out the goodness,

—live while you can”
