Impatience
IMPATIENCE
Are we not arrived here
To be learning patience?
Our soul’s sole choice
How steep the gradient
Given past performance
Forgiveness is in there too
In Retrospect: Shadorma
IN RETROSPECT
He’s sorry
For not having time
To love you
Quite enough
He was too busy learning
How to love himself
Come Back. Over.
COME BACK. OVER.
Who cared? Who cares?
Who learned? Who learns?
Who fails to learn
who cares who fails
to learn this far down
their very own rabbit hole?
Grubby weathered report
holed up in a cornered pocket.
Darkness. Silence. Stillness.
Out of echoes of memory.
Send me some fresh news.
Come back. Over.
Repeat: send memories of echo.
Come back. Over.
Remember that day
we swore to bring down
the house?
No Ill Wind: Tanka
NO ILL WIND
I feel gratitude
For all of those who loved me
Also those who spurned
For though painful it taught me
The foolishness of craving
Confession And Plea
CONFESSION AND PLEA
I confess
I am lost
Please help me
Am I here to teach?
Or else to learn?
Maybe both?
I confess
I am lost
Please help me
Must we always be acting
From our wounded places?
Or first be acting to heal?
I confess
I am lost
Please help me
It is clear you are lost too
Stop being a smartarse
Just be a child, be kind
End Of Chapter: Shadorma
END OF CHAPTER
Out the door
On the road again
Halt of foot
Sore of heart
Yet recalling as you roam
Not built in a day
All We Need
ALL WE NEED
Perhaps all the things
We need to learn
Are already here
And in actual fact
We only need
One single thing
To notice
Unsticking Is King (Or Queen)
UNSTICKING IS KING (OR QUEEN OF COURSE)
Stuck, stuck in a groove.
Stuck in a groove. Stuck in a
groove. Stuck in a groove.
Habit our own way?
We’ll never get anywhere
Treading this old way.
Stuck, stuck in a groove.
Stuck in a groove. Stuck in a
groove. Stuck in a groove.
Habit your own way.
Familiar, comfortable.
You won’t learn much though.
Stuck, stuck in a groove.
Stuck in a groove. Stuck in a
groove. Stuck in a groove.
