Respect

My 'new eyes' perceived a galloping 'fire horse' as a medicine sign at sunset.

Respect
5/5/11

A birthday girl
in different country
're-framed' this word
concept for me,
to 'look again'
as if virgin
on person, place,
our old patterns,
upbringing, past experiences,
every mundane thing
taken for granted,
it's asking questions
about inner motivations,
how we choose
what, why, when,
while in acceptance
of present condition
circumstances led to
without harsh judgment,
instead discerning riches
'journey song' offers
each fertile moment
through 'new eyes',
perceiving re-awakened attentive
awareness toward full
'respect' for life.
