(Life) 'Tis Of Thee

There has to be more to Life

Than these fervent hungers

Bumper to bumper

Traffic

Jambalaya

Over powering flavor

Of cauldrons and ether...

The fevers of Need

Checklist buckets of Lusts

The Must-Haves, wanting,

All of it, for more...

More Over the rainbows

And the some where's

Else

Not yet devoured / eaten away

Or molds fur coat on rotten fruit

A grey, the color of the unseeing

Giving fever

Yearning for remedy...

Hand to mouth

Mc-Stuffin' and stuck

Without knowing our own feelings

Hurting ourselves just to relieve the numbness

There has to be more...


In the loving eyes

of wakefulness, new

Without a fear or the fading becoming jaded

Green as Envy

The morning at last seen

For the first time

Being alive / full on Wonder

And Beloved

More to Life

A rainbow of free will

And Freedom

Skies...

How should I thank this ...?

(Tis of thee)
