It is a Narrow Temple


It is a narrow temple
It is a holy tomb
it will decide the future when
all is at peace with self

it is one at times
but time is lost to the one that lives
and the one that IS need not fear time
for unity is their domain

help me to help
leave me to see, when there is fear there 
is hope to imagine. the word is a fruit
the tree is the root, the leaf is the tree
the root is the leaf, the flower is the bee
tell me what it is that i see?

tell me about knowledge friend and
i'll show us all mountebanks 
that which is a breath on the sun
shall fall upon your skin
melting, bending to time lost
lost is not lost but gained love
dig deep to find the self same friend, friend

the medicine for my soul
is in your cupboard
the river of your smile is within my
lingering slumber, alive and awake 
both prey to silence
yet grow in eyelids
fluttering wings, real words stay within uttering
breaths of comfort

but i am truly me when 
both vowels join the alphabet
a, e, o also have their
place with u and i… dear come near
