OF THE UNIVERSAL PANE
Folder:
JOURNAL #9 it is always hottest beneath the bridge
leading to one's natural self expression
why is it then that I think clearest when I am
at my most tiredest
in short, when in an absolute slump
I am at my best
or so it seems at least from myself I often get
that impression
I'm not purposely prone to experiencing highly
concentrated forms of unavoidable aggression
but now , shall I fall to my injured knees for you
and break forth with a consciously clever confession
I am not so terribly infatuated with the idea of dying
but if I said I feared it
note
that I would indeed
be lying
I am well aware that one day the phase of death will come
to embrace me
but the physical aspects of the fear involved with such an ending
do not even attempt now to chase me
for I see death as a small step unto a yet to be explained level
or plane
and each (wo)man who is chosen at whatever time
in his or her life
to take it
is but one tiny shard of glass in the entire universal pane
so fear not the looming of the yet to be known
but hold its promise sweetly to your child like chest
simply imagine all the people who have gone before you
they too but for the scriptures of their own religious volumes
had not a guess...............
