Collecting Myself

3/10/09

The world is contracting, 

well, humans are anyway

with latest financial strive

from greedy over extension

out of balance risking,

where energy is dissipated,

too much to manage,

in territories far flung

that need caring attention

so subtleties are known

in each particular field,

yet control isn't it,

we need a marriage

between left, right brain,

masculine, feminine, art, science,

more, a holistic approach,

demanding creative, smart access

to all parts within

calling upon poetic grace

our childlike birthright joy

while tuning into passion

what brings us alive

for sake of happiness

which is life's gift

given back and forth

when collecting myself fully.
