The more you use it
The more you use it
The less you lose it
—your mind, your soul, your spirit?

In the book of life
In the book of life
we each have some chapters
yet no chapter is life’s end
maybe one is the last in which you appear
or maybe you set in motion what comes after
or make meaning of who or what came before
yet all tell this story we share
:- Doug.
Who think other thoughts
In our politics we steel ourselves
To others by vilifying those
Who think other thoughts
What if we saw ourselves flesh
They no more but friends together we?
What share we in common
But the robin’s call, bright sun
At morning, stormy afternoons,
And desire for our grandchildren’s good?
Those can be our strong enough
Foundations & leaders: we might lift eyes
:- Doug.
Mine from not mine
The more we grasp
The less we are
We are of the all;
But when we separate
Mine from not mine
When we set goals
To get more mine
Things or skills or knowledge
Beauty, truth or goodness
We separate from
& give up the all
We could have been
Release & we still could be
:- Doug.
