Give Me - The Divine Mystery

Seemingly we saw
Eye to eye
Now I find all my
Attempts at communication
Deemed unworthy
Of garnering reply
Nevermind the bother
The fears of those who saw her
Open and exposed
While fully clothed
Sheathed and wreathed
In truth untimely
Too soon to name
No one wins this game
Of cold shoulders
Shrugging away chances
At intensifying
These tango dances
Quick on their feet
These minds meet
Without time to pause
For a shared cause
An even exchange

Revelations uprooted
Before they could grow
Gumption
Learning to function
As whole entities
The ego says let go
I need no
Other spirit to survive
So full in and of myself
Nothing matters, no one else
Progress will stagnate
With those who fail
To relate

Bodhisattva
Teach me
Of the divine mystery
In the grand scheme of things
Give me the joy
Appreciation and love bring
Goals worthy
Of accomplishing
Ideas and dreams shared
Frequencies dared
To humble
Releasing fears of distance
Dread of failure
A new composition
Good premonition
Felt within
Now can begin
The path from exile
Traversing this track
There’s no looking back
Without retrospect
No regret
These lessons are worthy
Of the pain
These lessons are worthy
Of the time
The full time taken to learn
All these unspoken, related themes
Connecting things
Mirroring
The drive
To keep ourselves alive
Growing consistently
Bodhisattva
You and me
