Careful with that Advice, Eugene
There will
Always
Be naysayers
And cynics
And
Good for them,
I guess.
They give the
Ne’er-do-wells
An audience.
Let them
Hang out
Among themselves
To share
Their
Strange fruits.
Let them
Choke on
Their resentments,
If they so
Choose,
But spit out
Their
Seeds of projection,
Lest they
Threaten to
Swell
Your throat.
Not everyone
Will choose
To find
The blessing
In a single
Union.
Yet to those
Who are not
Willfully
Blind,
Offer up
To them
This prospect
Of what
Can not only
Be dreamed,
But realized
As well.
While they
Must do their
Own seeking,
It can’t hurt
To reveal
The
Possibilities
To those
Who might
See.

what's going on? do you need to talk?
-mw
Talk? As opposed to simply posting my thoughts on this blog? Heaven forbid!
such grounded and precise words. brave in the face of ego-swill, humility paves the way to heaven, and singing in praise of love is loves voice simply speaking.
