The simple statement
All is good
Is a blessing
To utter those
Is to understand
To have seen
And then accept
All is good
Manifests the Divine
Here on earth
Brings into being
Peace and calm
Kindness and compassion
Love and affection

Oh the world thinks
That our own heartache
Is what cripples us
No it’s not that
What diminishes our ability
Is the insistent chipping
Piece by precious piece
Of our own hearts
When those other hearts
Stop beating simply because
They dared to love
Those that they loved
What is to become
Of us when we’re
No longer allowed to
Dance will we drift
Like jellyfish on ocean
Currents avoiding each other
For fear of stings
Nodding as we pass
One barely apparent one
To the other our
Desire nothing more than
Spiny secrets that drag
Behind leaving a wisp
Of what once was
I fear for this
World not my world
My world’s behind me
I fear for this
Your world I can’t
Understand nor did I
Ever imagine that this
Could’ve ever been that
When I was young
But now as I
Look down upon you
Tucked up so tightly
In your precious bassinet
I worry for you
This world of yours
I have finally decided
That rather than wait
That I would ask
The Universe for someone
Creator of the Universe
Appear before me this
A Spanish pianist composer
In his early forties
Intense shy and passionate
Whose fingers speak music
Whereas mine speak words
And together create songs
Telling of mysteries and
Of adventures taken or
Simply quietly wished upon
At the point of
The candles last flicker
And our first sunrise
