Mother and Father

it’s hard to look full on

I don’t want to insinuate

or judge

or think

anything

but

I am curious…

annoyed  

irritated 

I see that mother always faces the sun

father’s back is to the sun

the setting sun

the besetting sun

the western sun

the eastern sun

southern sun

warming

being warmed

cheered

it’s s all so good

to warm those bones

and heart

any side

any sun

any time

any one

learn to live

then to thrive

south sun

north side

right hand

left hand

drop down

look up

see me.

you get it

its a game

my back is to father

we are back to back

surviving and wanting to go on living forever 

do you see that mother always stands alone?

unsupported but supporting all?

and everything?

and me?

and you?

and getting tired

me too

But I remember when I came out from mother’s sides I was young and fiery & full of life and looking up to the planets and stars

(I was a proud member of the get me club)

we got each other

now i see how much mother and father help each other

and me

making it all possible

to be here

now

still supported

in the web 

and the roots

yet still –

the shadow of mother and father scares me

such a constricting place!

limiting too

and its a good place

and bad

mostly very good and utterly amazing 

if you can see through 

if you can break through

;:;:::;;;;;;;;;////;;;;;;;:

so now then…

i want to approach differently

it’s important you know

so full of potential

and yet

i’m cautious

open

to learn

this is risky business – a mars like drama

will i make it?

will i navigate?

this breaking place?

this interface place?

this place of death and birth

;:;:::;;;;;;;;;////;;;;;;;:

at times i want to break out

at times i want to bound out

with fiery energy

like never before

here we go

but sometimes it’s slow

and cold

and then i see

that i don’t need

to force a fire to force

need to dance

learn to dance

the great wilderness dance

the dance challenge of you and me

don’t force a fire

get a fire

make a fire

a different fire

a receiving fire

a listening fire

a fire power

a power flower

a force joining

you are sending

i am sending

rivers joining

we are getting

shining things sent through

to you and me

OR

?

~

will we annoy each other to no end

fail to thrive

and survive

in this wonderful thing place
