Unified Theory

February 11

UNIFIED THEORY

When I build the circuit correctly the light comes on. When I heal the shards together the bell rings. If I am meticulous and attentive, if the world is gracious and bares herself to my mind, I will see how everything fits. I know the reflexive nature of things, and the way life folds one thing inside the other. Whale song is a long slow underwater birdcall. Moon rise, sun rise, then the moon again. The universe works without my interference but also without my complete understanding. I am learning how to be a part of this beautiful maze; I long to comprehend it. The weeds are trying to take back the city. If I lay down maybe they will take me back, too. If I keep my eyes open I might see it all unfold. Conception without is my desire within.

Make emotional bouquets for your mind.

Recognition

All I have are these two hands

I can not lift the world

All I have are these two legs

I can not flee the hoards

All I have is this one heart

though need and want prevail

All that’s left is this one mind

to try to tell this tale.

Everything in this bright orb

is there for me to see

Everything laid out before me

all that I can be

Everything that I perceive as wrong

and know it in my heart

Everything I think to touch

and change believing it’s my art

Once I take the giant reins

acceptance escapes the scene

Once the fates are in my grasp

chaos is the theme

Once the sight of my right place

is lost from in my mind

Once I try to fill the great big shoes

is the day that I go blind.
