Tension Released
The tension snaps, it's under load,
The gears engage, new row gets hoed;
A little change, with big results –
Engaged again, one with adults.Temptation comes to purse my lips,
To strut around (not little steps),
To river-push, and make it work,
To be ‘The Man’ and thus a jerk.Five years of living biblically
Within this life-time frame for me;
Not as a limit but that chunk –
Nee's number three, yeast in the lump.Agenda cleared, new slots appear;
Comfort within re: op’s so near?
I wonder ’bout this new-found-land,
Your role for me – to under-stand."See needs around in neighbours’ lives,
Bid to respond for cash of size
Enough to make it pay for you
To carry on that's what to do" –At least in this society;
Not sure if that's what's there for me –
To enter in like Bruchko here?
Run jungle trails? Find what is dear?Live out the books? the Poems? Songs?
Pictures and words – to Him belong
Assets, and tools, and toys, and time –
Under my care, (what's Thine is mine).Impulse to learn grows fast in me
So I can larger picture see –
See what's within, what's being taught,
Ah! modules I've got– where I have walked!Now I see light at end of way;
Dawn soon arrives with light of day;
I do not need from scratch to start,
Ten years I've walked the greater part.Now, plug it in, walk out that text;
See what is there, fill in the rest;
Ask who it is that needs to know;
Into their lives this new seed sow.navigation
