For the Living

I am drawn in contemplation
by a just found thought -- titillation,
that gives a new perception
to our soul and heart and spirit.

If the latter is our potential;
a yearning for completion -- oneness with all,
or return to Goddess' embrace
of Earth and Sea and rebirth seed,
then it can be viewed as 'future'.

Our heart in twain with befuddled mind
can only be here and now -- a fine present,
and torn twixt contingencies of trust
and what weary eyes perceive,which we foolishly call reality.

The soul then is what's been before
in experience and grief -- perhaps wonder,
and crumpled small by self denial,
or blossomed huge by human touch,
and living selflessly.

Pretend the future can be told
through religion or control -- even magick,
but that can only slight expand
the capacity of the soul,
a womb perhaps new creation.

If the soul then expands at will,
a chrysalis of our knowing -- perchance wisdom,
then to live life is to be life,
regardless of outcome,
or form of imagined wings.

So,
the most important part of being --
is what you are doing,
right now!
