Many and Great

Many and Great

x

I’m sorry

There are other things

Wildfires

Wars

Rising oceans

More than tides

Allow

What nature does

What we do

While the Earth permits

Until it can’t

x

And I’m concerned

With how

I feel

Even mortally

(with room for veniality

as well)

I am one

How many are you?

You seem more to me

As if a company

Resides

Inside your wall of flesh

Behind your eyes

x

And I suppose it’s true

We each might be

Many souls

Maybe carried through

The ages

Or simply facets of

What splits

From our encounters

Here and now

And what remains

Beside our spirits

Mainly

As we become

Like growing jewels

x

When permitted,

Like layers

Added to the pearl

Treasure Trove

Treasure Trove

We’re surrounded by things

Not always ours

But I think it’s good

Those who can have things

Everyone cannot afford acquiring

Maybe should be the subject of

Our conversation

Things mean ownership,

And ownership ties us to life

We can go too far

As so many of us do, for

Things don’t deserve attachment

That is treasure-madness

Everything is temporary, after all

I sit in a corner of my life

And wish we could talk in person

Having a drink in a favorite cup

You find what I provide acceptable

We hold forth, even outside cyberspace

And maybe make notes

After

We have a fine time

Promising another,

Knowing we will follow through

And we own a little more

Now having something of the strength

Of normal wealth
