sitting in my maple of a winter’s day
focusing my whole world

It takes all the imagination
together we can muster
to live fully
when we are dying

Is it about how long you live

Is it about how long you live
Or how much you live?
How would you make your days
Full of life?
Some prefer quantity because they
Can’t imagine
How to fill days with life

It is not right to give up

It is not right to give up
We need to sustain Mother’s life
But give up what?
Beeping machines, blood draws at 2 am,
Strangers changing her diaper?
Holding a grandchild?
Recognizing her husband?

There comes a now

There comes a now
For me to give up cure
And work on healing.

look through a window and know

We look through the window
And know there is an outside
Larger than the window shows us

Do everything is a disease

Do everything is a disease of the 21st Century:
It is cultural
We think this is what we should ask
For a loved one: we don’t want to give up
So instead we give anguish

When the human soul lets out its pain
It closes its wound, becomes again one
The human soul has ability to heal

coughing, innards in turmoil

Our earth is ailing,
coughing, innards in turmoil,
skies inflamed, running a fever:
we each are nurses called
to give a healing human touch

Because of this
There is a place
Where we can meet

From grief and primal pain

It may be that a change of paradigm
Will happen in an instant
From a profound disaster
Or slowly like a person awakening naturally
Such as when the old guard dies out
Humans tend to learn and change
From grief and primal pain

:- Doug.

Without breaking something

We can’t get there from here
—Without breaking something
—Without leaving the furniture behind
If you fear and freeze—
Stay behind and die

:- Doug.
