why it matters

last helicopter out of Saigon
(you should never have invaded-
same with Grenada,Beirut,Libya.Empires fall
faster than butterfly wings.Art of broken walls is partial scene
Always,civilians. (Farmer in small handkerchief field sustains
while Huge Banks fail.Vegetable gardens green flags of hope
while Therapies become Industries.Little is lots-your next breath
delays,defers,demurs from death just long enough to trick the hangman
into visiting the sleeping .Consciousness connects-seeks Electric Souls
Bright Sparks.Leaps between .Sharpens Spirits.Adds to and Compounds
Rescue Remedies.Healing via happiness.Call me naive
yet what is your desired outcome?Income?
What we make=we are.Who we are=what we make.
Two Zen fish following Tantalus.Samson Agonistes.Paradise Found.
This is it.Simple.Where you are right now.What you do
Seek no more Heaven than Your Best Action.Nature abhors vacuums
There is a Bright Key in every melody.Harmonies Heal.Sing your day
Hum moon night.Slip star silences.Sip siestas.All olde is knew.You
are a Crown Of Creation-and you make,weave,sing,dance,
prance in a woven unspell when you choose.Even when you choose not to
You have more love than you knew.(you knew!
This is why it matters what you choose to do.
