The Sandbox...

Open my Ears,

let me hear the Music

being played upon the Wind;

open my Eyes,

show me the Wonder

so plain to see

that still always comes

as a marvelous surprise;
open my Heart,

closed for too long,

fearing to be ridiculed

and despised in its caring

but it is in the Sharing,

the Daring,

that sets me Free,

separates me from

the Ordinary,

from the Dromedaries of the Lost

whose cost of Existence

is their lack of Resistance,

their insistence at the Goal,

disregarding the Whole
in favor of a semblance of Control

when they hold nothing

in their hands but sand,

slipping a little more each day

from the ever outstretched hands,

Speaking in tongues

they don't understand

with little, if anything to say,

for donkeys bray

but who listens?...

 

I'm going this way,

choosing my own Path, Children:

play amongst yourselves...
