Be There

BE THERE

Are you going through thick and thin? The tug of the rug, the prick of the pin Dancing emotions but mostly heart-wrenching Tears welling up, fists tight and clenching Pulling and pushing and caving you in? Moments of madness, despair and chagrin Aware of the paths and the craziest paving Keeping your cool but internally raving The structures, the hopes all stacked up in dreams, the fat of uncertainty stressing your seams Each day a blessing a chance for renewal To tiptoe through tulips or grope through the gruel

Have you ever truly floated? Uplifted upheld by forces unseen To hang in the air like musk No foothold, no handhold No reference, no deference to gravity Surprised by the levity, the severity The unbearable lightness of being,

Adrift between obligation and temptation, satisfaction and challenge. Inertia needs initiative, impetus thrives on impetuousness. Drive on, steer a path, think in three or more dimensions, clutch at chance, dance with danger, reconcile, defer, detour, deter.

So many words, so many swords and hard places to be stuck between. Marshall the arts, sidestep, jiggle, jump, prod and pray, be prey to good fortune, delay nothing, be importune, render your design, impose and dispatch it if you can But most of all

BE THERE
