Lent 14

Lent 14

 

It’s hard not to feel invincible

When we feel invincible

Let’s not blame youth

Those of us in any age

Might forget ourselves

Relying on our defenses

(don’t even think about them)

 

We conquer the world

Forgetting those to either side

Who want more of the same

Or want to live more simply

Not as victims

Not as Alexander, either,

Or Zenobia

 

Live and let live

We might say

But should wonder how there’s such a choice

When no one is a planet

Manatee

Manatee

 

All its age enfleshed

In deep-lined wisdom

 

Swims only enough

 

A round eye of black

Takes in everything

 

Takes you, takes me

 

Through a green liquid

Medium into inner

Space

 

Where energy abounds

And what the elder

Dreams

 

Flashes to merge with

Synaptic feelings

 

Action transduced into

Creation’s lightning

 

Welled in obsidian

Eye of the prototype

Mer-person for

A new world
