across the in-between,
build a bridge
above the unforeseen,
recognize the cloudlit sun
the sunless day
the moonless sleep
loneliness within company
friends within enemies
betrayal without violence
a fair trade, a good price;
exchange and yet -
do not leave anything behind.

I wonder if any of the trees around here were planted by someone I know.

This is such a good poem, not b/c I like the poem itself, but b/c the ideas that it tackles are so interesting and fundamental to any outcome of the world.
ReplyDeleteThere is a balance that this poem touches, the holy balance, or the inevitable balance.
What's going on with you Sky, very sage, but very rage.
Heh.
Maybe not, I mean the rage part, but it sounded good.
And just to be sure, the poem is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSorry poem if I didn't sound constructive.
