LOSING THE EDGE

 

between reality and pretend 

between sensing and imagination 

between now and then 

present and future

you and me

us and them 

 

right here in this sliver of awareness - we are 

we are and we are vast 

we are light and dark 

we are good and evil 

 

we are sweet and bitter 

we are male and female 

we are joy and suffering 

we are beautiful and we are vulgar 

 

in this sliver of now 

we are awake

we are together 

we are travesty and we are rising 

walking into the next moment 

 

we are alone and we are always together 

 

here - take some of this bread

and keep it in your pocket 

for when you forget there are no altars 

 

there is no separation 

in this fascinating dance

between me and you 

there is only us and this weaving

 

for your pain is my pain 

my joy is your joy 

no need to cling

nothing else to hold onto

​
