gentle

"Forgiveness is my only function."
"There is a light in you that cannot be put out." (acim)

prior to the mind boggle,
the impossible premise,
ever since debating
all the descendents
of the impossible mother,

the endless forms
of non-problems
posed as insurmountable--
 "let's get to the crux of this..."

impossible
'cuz
there isn't one

how do you solve an impossible situation--
a fantasy,
with no reality?

you've got to really tangle your mind,
to continually tangle your mind
to keep it
from unraveling,
literally
falling apart
on to the floor
in front of you

who can really believe
another person is truly heartless?

only a completely terrorized mind

see how he is ready to spring,
to pounce,
see how deep the despair,
how deep the pit
in which he hides his head?

oh be gentle,
so gentle,
this terrified "mortal"
is NOT your enemy

that tense spot in your shoulder,
that pain in your ass
is not here to hurt you,
to make your life hell

tenderness
is the only appropriate response
to fear

so clear

let fear
only be met
with tenderness

this wild animal
means no harm

she is but asleep,
entangled in her own impossible premise,
that she is
what she is not

be gentle now...

that's such a scary dream
to inhabit
