danger, so what?


danger, so what?

foolish to milk and to suck
a cobra for honey,
to fall asleep lulled
by the sound of rattlesnakes

dangerous to stay inside,
to go outside,
to walk, to fall,
to swim, to fly

mad to fall in love,
to kiss trees,
to talk to roses,
to teach the mirror

happy the first breath
walking out of prison,
to fall into the grass
under apple trees , blossoming

clever to stay alone
not telling much,
to ask, not to answer,
to wear a mask

but cleverness kills
silently, fear turns
all demons loose
running the mind

wise to use thought humbly,
to act with resilience,
for change, consequently,
to reflect on one’s limits

wonderful to open
and feel space widening,
being vulnerable, alive,
dancing on blood and air

mystery the pain to be
human, one with the
suffering and the joy
of  earth turning and turning

glorious the grace to
live and to die aware,
not to escape but to
find release in union
