For Bernard
It seems difficult to simply be And live life like the animal lives In its difficult simplicity Existence takes as much as it gives Does the living animal enjoy Its life? Does my awareness destroy My life's quantity through quality Almost as though quality control Were the function of my human soul? As though the moment of perfection That hole-in-one singularity Must cost a lifetime of reflection And come then at the end of it all As valediction actually Like a perfect maple leaf in fall Existence gives as much as it takes Making the sense the sense of it makes Like a blessing and a curse combined As we who share the benefits of Existence before and then behind If we are lucky and in the now Discover our meaning is to love And if time and circumstance allow Learn the hard way but know what to do To know what to do might seem less than To simply be the animal man But to know then do is to love too As long as knowing then I do it As short as I have at and to it To simply be and love all I can +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX Attached thumbnail(s) |
