G-d, Let Him, Known As Me, Not Grow Lazy

Living and also not
in and out of time
catching missing blessing
moments sad sublime
experiences gone through
getting polished scarred
long process redemption
letting down up-guard
treading on the thin line
of human and hypocrite
sharing what's on mind
grinning and bearing it


EARLIER VERSION

Living and not living

in and out of time

catching missing blessing

moments sad sublime

experience remembered

getting polished scarred

long process redemption

holding up letting down guard

treading on the thin line

between human-hypocrite

between quickly sharing thoughts

or grinning and bearing it

G-d let him not grow lazy

him being known as me.

H.A.L.T.

Sometimes, like this one right now,
I remember to halt and see
how one of these four things
is affecting me -
being hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.

I've never read tea leaves
or pinched the moon
I've never learned the sitar
or whistled a signature tune

But I've listened to your heart
and shared an eye with you
I've hiked inside your essence
climbed to my point of view
