when you close your eyes
see a light that penetrates you
or is it you
Who goes to the light?
when I say “Jesus”
a God comes to mind
or a prophet
on a cross?
when I tell you “love”
the taste is pain
or flavor
of freedom?
when I pray in silence
my mother hears my crying
that washes mine
vanity
I just want to give age
to infinity now
sorrows are the waters
of the abyssal
and live in a word
recorded in the deed
and lay me down
about the naked truth
I'm human and I'm going to make mistakes
but I want to get it right
I long to transcend
like any and all beings
I didn't come here
to repeat patterns
until dead
