i do not remember anything properly

i do not remember anything properly
because i viewed the whole world and every person
as magical

so i have a pageant in my mind 
life like a float in a parade full of amazing beings 
astounding scenery

my seeing started out as totally sane
then later i was forced to affect it with a bit of courage
but later it became as real 

there is something holy in persistence
especially with delightful aims to disarm and brighten
every dark corner

possibly god or whomever 
smiles here because i will do the good work no matter what
they may brush me with a fingertip

or handsome is as handsome does
and those who devotedly love for love's sake take on an aspect
from the glory of their own heart

finding out 
their next assignment
is to be angels

wander the furrowed fields of words

wander the furrowed field of words

the farmer is the mind going along

through memories or recollections

all of them invented in one way or the other

then bound to the exertion of the task 

just like bull bound to the yoke and metal blade 

dreaming thoughts and earth both ripped and flipped

showing the other side then following 

of a filling and then gathering then burning 

the ground will be gone over again

trodden torn open then planted anew

real and imagined seasons overhead underneath

quickening phases of life and death 

more strain more images and imagining 

lines like furrows cut on the page 

and then a rest when the hands rest


sigh be still and take it in observe all around

like any tiller will do from time to time

see how it never changes from a point of view

but freedom is at here plowed or not

and the earth lays so serene uncut


if only we could be more like ponds

steams rivers lakes or the sky

so thinking goes

i dine with god and goddesses

i dine with gods and goddesses 
way above my paygrade
in my dreams

it is so absurd to see
they accept me
