132. Unafraid (Myshkin, 2021) · free verse

Who? What? Why? When? What’s in it for mySelf? Is Santa learning presence from an elf? Am I just energetic patterns with a skull? Has Soul gonene out, or is my hearing dull? Do questions tease, or do they open space? These blinders, will they help me win the race? What if I want to stop, sit still, and pray? Why have they taken canticles away? We who connect with others, soul to soul, Our inner empty gardens make us whole. Don’t run away! Let Spirit fill you up! Your time on Earth is short—yet still not up. I have a friend who’s dying, unafraid. Life loves the shadows hiding in the shade. Play solo hide-and-seek ‘til your last day, Let lightning bugs and moons reveal the way.
