The Real Work |
It passes my eyes and stuns my senses |
The outside world flows through these fences |
They let out more than they take in |
They bleed me out and I can’t staunch them |
My mouth lets out more than it takes in |
It leads me out and I can’t help it |
It is nothing but a muscle flexed |
A swirling sea of now and next |
And the world was upside down, inside out |
This whole time |
Going the wrong way north was inverted |
The directions, the plan, got me turned around |
I was on the right path, but couldn’t feel the ground |
And so started the test, retracing all the steps |
When was the first strike, which dances were learned |
In an ever-changing suit retailored with patches |
Or a life blind and careless, popping stitches |
Un-being, un-happening, becoming untangled |
Dulling the edges and scaling transitions |
Faith is a pattern composed by the wind |
All movement, one movement, it reaches everything |
And the real work is to be it it, believe it |
With each new set of eyes and the visions they provide |
Be the taste, the warmth, the measure and the glow |
By embracing it all, and then letting it all go |
The real work is never done, and has no clear beginning |
ANd shows no result, no losing, no winning |
