Stewed Thoughts

 

Today’s Special

Stewed Thoughts,
with Over-Ripe Opinions
Home-Grown Philosophies 

While They Last!!


 

Sweat Drenched,
Steaming.
The long, hot Nights
slowly melting
into Tomorrows,

Safely, Quietly,
within my Dreams,
There’s nothing between me

and everything.

As I evaporated
sliding ever closer
to the abyss of sleep,
Suddenly, dawned on me
was the Why,
things change.

Why everything,
Peacefully,
Miraculously,
So, completely,
Comes to me
As if I planned it
all along
The darkness begets dawn

The sun rises
beautifully, 
uncovering hidden relief,
burning through
all aspects of disbelief.
Drying the Oasis
of thirsty doubters to stone
until dust is made of the skeptic bones.

On the inside, I was troubled,
grateful,
but still I wondered
How did all this change?
Was it a miracle?
A mystery?
Maybe I sold my soul accidentally?
Or maybe…

I had curiously,
willingly
connected to an abundant,
inexhaustible, all-knowing
source

I was adopted,
brought in,
made an heir
to a powerful, timeless
force!

The world different
And I was changed
on the outside
and the inside

For the first time
There was nothing
between me
and everything.
