i have been part of many communities, tribes and movements
eventually i abandoned them all
because i noticed they were a hindrance
to the way
now i walk the earth alone and hungry
in love with whatever happens
the chaos, the destruction
the beauty, the poetry
it’s all there in the dust
gathering and dancing on light beams
i take part in the show
i sing and play and laugh
sometimes shadows take over
storms cleanse the day
kill the dying
what once was
must burn away
let it burn
feel the heat
become what may
the sage appears before us
the one we have been waiting for
