Ambitious Grasp of Finite Fingertips
I try to clear my mind
but I cant help but worry
so many self same souls
all identical to my own
all are bleeding
all in need of
a higher humanity
and what offerings
of higher value
have I?
save words and gestures
of sympathy
sympathy stemmed
form the same shared sadness
how lonely the spirit
of the earth must be
material mindset
but a gravitational boundary
no sense in living and loving
with limiting notions
marginalized by possession
separation fear and death
so strip my life down to the very
bare bones of beauty
leave me nothing of my own
to pocket save life's
all enduring laughter
may I find life's true treasures
hidden in those empty
open handed offers
silences light reassurance
friendships humble fortune
a smiles simple pleasure
to touch upon
the passive strength
powering all being
to channel ceaseless
charity and compassion
mystic gleam unseen
resting within beyond
all material
non material things
immanent is untouched by
ambitious grasp of language's
finite fingertips
