An Inner Bright

Jul 2, 2005

A door must close to open
Our eyes must do the same.

(And the lotus blooms in seasons
far past guilt or shame or blame)

The heart that leans towards the sun
It knows to trust the light
But it must learn by stages too
The usefulness of night.

(For lamps are lit in darkness where
they teach an inner bright)

A time for travel and for rest
A time for wings a time for nest.

(Time for up and time for down
Yes even time for red-nosed-clown =0)

But a door must close to open
Yes our eyes must do the same

(And the lotus blooms for reasons
far past money name or fame)
