We are sublime slithers of light
Specks of precious dust
With giant dreams
That occupy and stimulate
Are minds so small
To greater heights
We’re here to grow
And nothing more.
Expect surprises
A universe that moves
To shock and challenge
Inspire and sadden
Do not lose time
Thinking there’s more
Do not lose time
Thinking it’s less
Than amazing
A privilege to be here at all.
Remember love
The only force
Worth fighting for
Like honey sticks
When you are set
Open wide
Let in
Let in
Let in.
And think in love
And think real deep
When you are dreaming
Where to place
Your focus on
For there is no child
That shines sublimely
Without first feeling
They’re worth receiving
A love that grows
More than dust
More than slithers of light
More than our thoughts
At their greatest height
There is no replacement
And no real good reason
Why love should not dictate
This entire overthinking
Human race.
(Take what you will
From these words
But don’t pretend
That you know less
Than I of this
But move from mine
Into yours
Write down all the nothings
And somethings
You can’t change your mind
There is only one self.
