Follow The Way

photo: Marc Adam

Some will follow the shape
tracing carefully the contours
thinking this is the way
coloring in the lines
but those who love will burst out
through fiber
and being
and pierce the heart
of Everything
and discover All.

If we follow the contours
rulemakers point out
how it was done
bazzillions of years before
justifying how it must be done hence
surely I will go mad

Lets turn
you and I
from the noise of that party
come down by the river with me
in darkness
and cooling night
fireflies and crickets singing
your body lighting up my eyes
we slip into waters deep and wide
and swim
in our fish and stone selves
roots sucking up our watery voice
nourishment
given to the secret of the world
the swirling and babbling
our laughter
merging with the heavens
as wet and happy we swim through the other
into
and out of
this lovely night
where lovers roam
and rulefollowers stumble and wonder
where people so lovely as we
disapeared to....
as we nourish the world
