'From ooze to mire's migration' timothy r gates, 9/24/2009
From ooze to mire's
migration
I am who that I am that I am,
as with the
I AM.
Adam couldn't deal with
Lilith,
Eve not less of a challenge
mother of all life's spring
Angel's fall
Angel's sprawl
born to German, Irish immigrants,
one married a Cherokee,
she was mentored by a Mammy
Mother, Father
shepherd, railway machinist
farmer, plantation
entrepreneur, welder
leader, rarely a follower
Hippie, when it was cool
Peacenik, protests all war
Pragmatist, understands limit of his idealism
Romanticist, still believes I, You, We make a
difference
From ooze to booze
smoke swirls to psychedelic paisleys,
death by intention, and accidental
life lived, much more labour intensive,
sweat equity, damned and blessed
Peace is never passive
Hope is never without eyes looking back
Faith is not a noun
Love is never abstract, absent more verbs
Life is what lived, face to face
Lilith, Eve, Adam
Cain, Able, Seth, Mary
a hiss blames another most seem to
today i kiss the Sun.
