Differences

Indian walks

Land and is held

Upon earth

Less by gravity

Than by his

Quantum love which is 

Tangled energetically

Like roots

In a holy place.

What we see is what

We get

He says.

Where i love

You rape.

When I give

You take.

When I wake

Nature embraces me

And gives me 

The sacred fruit

Of life,

I live

At the pace of paradise.

When you wake

The dream ends

And you have made

Shame

Of the truth of life.

You race toward

A better future

With all your might.

You've bent time

Studied the light

But your men fear

To be the light

Nude in it

Fearless in the infinite

Know it is 

In every finite thing

Every moment

And detail of life

Woven by a thread

Of mind and heart

In space

Which limits the infinite

To lines

And terms we can define.

Sewing into time

That crimson river

Of love and sacrifice

That stoic gaze

Eternal peace

In the abyss

Hearing the spirits

Believing in and chasing

Rabbits for the feast

To return with a bounty

So that entire armies

Can eat.

This is warrior you

As it is warrior me

And yet we do 

What we must

So frighteningly differently.

These poles do lead

To lightning and storms:

Tempest of both

Nature and the soul;

That great symmetry

Of a balanced moment

In cosmic time

Governing like a blind

And just goddess --

Child, no doubt,

Of a greater, more perfect being

Manifest all around me

All around you.

Why is it

We perceive, as we do,

So differently?
