and there “i” Be !

and there i be . . .

i sit here on the edge of my world

with all my cares before me

trying to manufacture some happiness

as i go within to explore me

perhaps it is my values

or the empty things i cling to

in my seeking and searching for meaning

in the goodness i be and do

but just what is goodness really ?

is it a Sign on my life’s Road . . . YEILD ?

it has to be more than simply giving

when is the Harvest ? . . . where is the field ?

Lord, you know we have been planting seeds

is all the landscape but barren land ?

perhaps the seeds have been modified

in the secret chambers by the “Dark Hand”

i have watered, i have weeded

“my own Garden have i not kept”

is all of life but a paradoxical parable ?

is this why my Sweet Issa wept ?

and still i sit at the edge of my world

pondering all my cares before me

yet i endure the trying journey within

as i descend deeper to explore me

and there “i” Be !
