Noah
Now an early lesson
The point of poetry
When the gravity of a moment outweighs the power of words
When your desire to communicate outstrips that straight jacket language of the everyday
Then have a play, with words
Like now
I don't know what to write
Yet my first thought is my best thought
When it comes to self expression it is that I wish I had been taught
You are primed for life
everyday vaulting into new
Learning, pushing your boundaries, expanding in knowledge and skill
May you hold that posture into adulthood, may you drink your fill
Yearning, burning with life
As you are now
Attune with a oneness you must not forget
As your identity firms do not own the illusion of separateness
For we are not our own but connected
You are another me
Your humanity,
is wrapped up in mine
is wrapped up in mine
A person is a person through other people
However other that person is
We are made from the same stuff, recycled through the spiral of dust
and water
and water
We reanimate, that is something to celebrate.
People will talk about truth
Say they know a thing or two
Though Noah, if they stay aloof
Their message has no mileage
Actions provide the proof.
Build bridges instead of walls
Not weapons but tools
Learn Love
It might come from above?
It does come from within
It is there you should begin.
