acquaint me with your wing tipped muse
delightfully fond fair wonderer
allow ridicule her finest hour
to appraise such delights mighty abuse
and indifference above all hate
shall play the piper
we know not each our necessary challenge
until our challenge chooses to know us
just as we know not the path least treaded upon
until the rain from all that is fine and good
shows us the road with the fewest puddles
so boldly lead on but with a heart like that of
a runny nose
medicate it kindly at its worst
yet allow it tender freedom to run its course
for the finest of all life's internal explorers
needs some guidance via the map
just as much as strength is required
to carry such a heavy pack
as do the mule and the horse
just how one gets there though is of the
smallest consequence
for more importantly so
man needs to be at his spiritual best
as God is holding such a fine high court
in the Here After
where he personally greets all his welcomed
guests
like the long awaited for family members
that they truly are
so my dear lost soul
never forget what it feels like to be taken
back home
and from the divine, all loving creator
you will never be far
for he is always as near as you wish him to
be
just step out of yourself
leading with your love
and he'll embrace you to thee.................
