Through the grapevine

image ~ courtesy of Tess Kincaid


I remember:
we sit at the table
that heard/felt many talks,
saw
different faces,
lives,
days
of stand off,
peace,
neutrality,
observation;
hearts, moaning in discussion
philosophy,
theology,
‘and what said St. Augustin’,
transferring
body and soul;
and trying, trying
to feel okay
during the world storm.

‘And that religion – for group,
alone you can worship
whomever you wish,
but it won’t be
a religion.’
‘And if it’s Utopia,
should we start from
building the jail?’

‘You can’t build the car
with no map..-‘
so important
an Intention,
the bright picture of you,
standing still
holding the lantern
of Love.

We dream co-exist
I like to come by
and see your smile
and hear: I’m fine.

Even if my perception
upside-down to yours.
