spirit

open up to me
and i gaze in the abyss.
shards of bright diamonds.

love one another
with brotherly compassion.
one big family.

around the corner
quiet cul-de-sac of peace.
mindless traffic lost.

we who owe so much
to the magnificent few
we burned at the stake.

the brain is angry
whips the chariot body.
soul looks on silent.

the journey of some
is steep through high snow both ways.
yet they persevere.
