don't let them get you down, friend
it's your light that they came for, it's your light that they need

that easy brilliance
that silly sliding
the surprise and the rapture
the unpossessed laughter

the love of your self and of every fleeting feeling
don't mistake
they love your freedom
it's what they need
more importantly,  it's what you need

what a beautiful day
what a glorious mystery

don't let it get you down

spirit is now making house calls
we whisper in clammy corridors
i unstick my mind from itself
too many years of unlicensed sugarless gum
ok i will not worry. i will trust. what do you have for me?
let's talk.

and as my hair excites the air
they won't even look at my ass
but boy what they'd give to swim in my eyes
am i afraid?

naturally.

and astonished. amazed. in awe
awe
awe
aw my heart longs to hold you for small always

if i am to travel down the well,
i will come up for air.

the rain comes down
it spits itself clean
we are the mother licking open her creation

and as we wake, we are awakening, what will we remember from our winter dreams?
what did we learn from our insides? what spoke to us our spleen our ear?
they will love us always; will we remember them?

may we savor the answers that bubbled up from our sleep.
the sights and sounds that we found underneath.

may we visit the pond often, and love upon the glittering lily pad

may our hearts blush and swell
warm cheeks
soft, wet eyes

may we love like a rich hot joke

mm
don't worry friend, we will be free
