Footprints in the Wind^sm # 808

It is blessing not to have a retirement account
To keep one’s eyes on what we can do
For many need our help
And much there is to do
To make a world where each and all
Are heard & their gifts received
To seek retirement is self-indulgent

Please pass it on.

What is on
the far side
of conflict?
beyond the love that
lets us hear—
attend—each other?
Curiosity and Imagination
may take us there
but where is there?
Our contraries are
hammered to shards
we are ground up and
thrown into clay
new vessels to
pour out new fires
upon the earth
fires to lick our
sacred structures
fires to be fought
—fearsome conflicts—
new betweens
new beyonds
and all rolls on
as I have told
and question asked
and question asked

Poet, you must be prophet
if you are to be true
to your work
Forth-tell!
Blake: “If you go on so
you will get so”
Vision-teller, imaginer,
creator
Raise your voice
