Being There

being there
sometimes
being there
is enough.
the rest
of the time,
it is only the beginning.


fight for every breath
then live
the freedom
you have earned.

the world within.


being here
will you read my words
and take a meaning
that isn't there
from them?
will you hear my voice
and take offense
at one not
made?
will you make me
to be a saint?
will you cast
me out?
perhaps,
you won't
really understand
me
at all.


simple words for complicated times.
complicated times for simple people.
a difficult time for everyone else
all the time.


oh muse of the spirits,
we'll meet again
some other day
some other night.
until then
do not worry.
we'll keep each other
company
soon enough
some other time.
