Our karmic loophole

          Our karmic loophole

          you used to listen,

          you know.

          You used to light up when I said something.

          But since the blackened clouds of your worry

          have brought out the lightening of my inner pain

          we’ve not made fires on 17th,

            - - - just ash clouds.

            [Maybe that’s why the windows need cleaning so much

          these days?]

          Why?

          when things are bad,

          you know that.

          !We breathe, we are Alive!

            many lost that, don’t have that gift

            and yet you allow yourself to squander it,

          reveling in despair

          when I am here to raise your eyes and smile at the light

                    what light???!

          The light that surrounds us, in Another’s Eyes,

          in a Place By The River.

          We can still find happiness.

          In fact -

          what’s to find?

          It’s there in everything we do.

And a frame of mind.
