I learn to wait for Mama,
knowing . . .
it will always be
just this day for me:
Holding to my shards of will
attached to mind's worldly wagon,
filled with the wonders
of my clinging human consciousness:
Waiting here
in this spirit place,
where there's no need for time and space:
Looking backward is same as looking forward,
Rolling onward like a returning wheel:
All things happening now,
have happened in the past:
Learning from Lazarus,
to play as Lords of Nature,
leaping to Heaven
among hosts of firefly spirits,
whirling by in joyous ecstasy:
Waiting to send a morning angel messenger
to the silent world,
of our murdered school of innocents,
declared unworthy lives:
