A Poem For Today - Whatever You DO

[kdick...@aol.com]

Whatever You Do

Whatever you do,

don’t waste your time

struggling with issues

about “faith” and

whether “the Other” is real

or not.

Do not worry about

your own existence -

whether you are palpable

or just a mirage

floating in a mirror.

When the worthies

begin debating such things inside

the temple,

do not bow and listen.

Run outside,

rattle the windows,

storm the doors,

let the music of light

come in.

Better still,

turn them out

into the sun,

point their solemn faces 

toward the trees

blooming in fall’s

swelling luminosity,

let them see how

brilliant

a leaf

falling gracefully 

into its new in carnation,

how majestic the limbs

in their bright emerging configurations.
