Blowing in the Wind

Will your

 Love & Light

Lend 

A non-judgmental ear 

Is your

Spirituality 

Spacious enough

To allow
The visitation

Of bedfellows

"Terror, Bewilderment, 

Frustration 

and

Despair?"

How readily 

Can be found,

Those that will

Bare witness

To the shadows

Of 

Restlessness, Irritability 

and Discontent?

In a world

Addicted to 

Saccharine smiles

And 

Fear of death
Can you embrace
The sacred...
In wailing
&
Gnashing teeth?

How confidently
Will you stand
In
"I don't know?"

Do you
Continue
To declare yourself
The winner
Of a race
That never
Existed?

Can you release
What you
Believe
And who
You think
That makes you
Long enough
To embrace
The pain...
Yours
&
Another's?

Is your "Peace"
Contingent
On
An insatiable
Appetite
To dine
Piece-meal
On
What you
Insist
Are the
Errors
Of
Fellow travellers?

Can you
Read this
Without
A compelling need
To make
Me
And/or
You...
Wrong?

Need all
Questions
Be answered?

Is an
Acceptable
Answer
Another question?
