a voice to inspire
marketa asks if i've ever peeled a tangerine
only to find the fruit dry
that's her way of saying my writing has gone dry
it has
~
there is malaise in the air
readily identifiable
it's hard to think of deep dives and salty dolphins
when the finer virtues
have been declared public enemies
when cold calculus trumps decency
~
i will think my thoughts write my words
because i cannot help myself because there is comfort in words
but one wants a voice stronger than mine
not to state the obvious that's too easy but to inspire
colin says like the buddha like gandhi like jesus
i say someone like gaia mother of all life
`
(gaia is just one goddess of earth
google lists another 94 every culture having their own)
