(found this on my facebook feed this morning)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I Water Things Constantly
I eat flowers now, and birds follow me.
I open myself like an inlet
and dolphin energies
swim on through.
Wherever I go, I remain silent
and the silence begins to glow
till one eye in the light
outsees two in the dark.
When asked, I now hesitate
for there are so many ways
to love the earth.
for there are so many ways
to love the earth.
I water things now constantly:
water the hearts of dead friends with light,
the sores of the living with anything warm,
water the skies with a thousand affections
and follow the voices of animals
into grasses that move like ocean.
water the hearts of dead friends with light,
the sores of the living with anything warm,
water the skies with a thousand affections
and follow the voices of animals
into grasses that move like ocean.
I eat flowers now and birds come.
I eat care and things to love arrive.
I eat care and things to love arrive.
I eat time and as I age
whatever I swallow grows timeless.
I eat and undie
and water my doubts
with silence
and birds come.
and water my doubts
with silence
and birds come.
