Leaving Flesh

Leaving flesh ungates the soul,
like a bird that soars with grace,
like a worm that leaves the hole,
taken to an extraordinary place.

Give your all until the dawn.
Take what little stuff you need.
Smile until the shades are drawn,
knowing well that you’ve planted the seed.

Gift of knowing, gift of feeling.
Golden orb, precious sight.
Life’s abrasions the sun is healing
for those who simply step out into the light.

What is money? What is power?
Lust and vengeance, blood and bile?
Selfless motives don’t devour.
Look for treasure in a neighbor’s smile.
