let us shift on and keep it moving

let us shift on and keep it moving

smdh

well, the World has come to an end

and i be damned

it looks just like the place i just left

much to my mirth

it looks just like Earth

could it be that Heaven is as we see it

and hell is as we decree it

yet i do now know that truth

that i can not flee it

for it always hunts me down

whether in Heaven

or Down here on Earth

what is that little caveat worth

it takes me back

to something that has been dancing in my head

something that Christ guy said

that if you run around looking for heaven

you must be the fool

for in that Christ guy’s school

they taught that heaven

was within me

that i have all the tools

there are times i do see it

times that i can be it

heavenly

but for some reason

we always attempt to flee it

for who wants to be that target

Cittying on that Hill

where all can see

can you see me

feel me

the real me

i be trying  . . . see

all my life long

there was this song

that i heard

there were no words

just a feeling

that kept me feeling

there was so much more

was it always right here

within me

within my core ?

in the absence of

my doubt

my worrations

my fears

over the years

i have shed tears

and collected

queer little idiosyncratic concerns and fears

to hold on to

for why ? . . who knows

for as the wind blows

or the News Goes

there goes we too

along with the things

others present to you

and me

but hopefully now

i can see

that within me

there is that Divine Breath

that Divine Blueprint

that Divine Road Map

that is Heaven Sent

that will lead me to that place

where i can face

my true self

and taste the sweetness of Life Eternal

with out the infernal threats

others told me about

to include but not limited to

the following

Parents

Society

Schools

Churches and Mosques

Friends, etc

for i now understand

they too fear

being alone

but if we stop for a minute

and listen to that tone

of connectivity of all things

we realize

when our inner eye is open

that we are 1 grand expression

of the All-ness of all things

does not the Sun kiss

the Sailor

the Sinner

the Taller

the Thinner

the Doe-ful

the Woeful

and you and i too

why it even kisses the Moon

as its light shines through

to en-lighten the paths

of the weary

the dreary Night Traveler

Unravel Sir the doctrine

and let our reason be loosed

there is no longer any excuse

for being the antithesis of life

the rife of inhumanity we all

yes, ALL have practiced

at some time or another

against our Sister, our Brother

is no longer necessary

for we have arrived

in a non contrived place

where all may taste

that sweet fruit of expectation

with an elation

juiced by the God(s)

were not you in that field

when the call was made

Free Lemonade

and Milk and Bread

without price

nice . . .

to the Sinner, the Saint

the Gentile, the Jew

the Infidels, the Pagans too

that may be Me and You . . .  too

for we too are Kin

and there is nothing we can do about that

so won’t you come along

willingly

it is an easier path to walk

let us stop talking about

what we wish to be

and be that which we need to be

as we shift

and move on deliberately

through this figment of illusion

into the first step

of the rest of eternity

let us shift on

and keep it moving

and put our best suit on

cloak our selves with the raiment of love

for all things manifest

for all things belong

in dance, in joy, in song

to you to me

to that great i am

within thee
