I wish I had a "something else"
a secret that was mine alone.
But that? It wouldn't be like me.
My gods have made this difficult
answering my prayers of seed
"send to me all that I need"
and little did I know the bleed
of all I never knew and greed
is blessings most superfluous
like too many shoes and I
am dancing here with two left feet
and I must learn to make this work
preference of a bare foot
as my fingers grab the sky
laughing kokopeli beat--

as every day I bury lies
of all I was just yesterday
and celebrate the child in me

that managed to survive.

Be careful playing with the flute player.  He can be dangerous.

Know what I think the secret is? Maybe, you just need to dance to the beat of a new flutist to find that seed?  No two kokopelli humps are the same you know?       This was a wonderful read m'friend with a great lesson for all within.

K? I wouldn't have missed this one for the world...thank you for giving us all the lesson to maintain that inner child...

and you m'dear?  DANCE beautifully.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

I love the beat of this. It has just the right cadence to go with these words. Great work
