DEALING WITH DISTRACTION

Walking or wading in water
Along life's way
I could sense a pull toward
Something...no someone

The life-laden leaves
Drew out breath from my being
I grew greater in the moment
If not for the pleasure of knowing 
.....who or what I would be seeing

The birds of the air gathered
In a location, around the noun
Light gathered at a spot and shone
As if there were no sky or ground

Closer and closer I come to the moment
Revelation would soon be mine
I would know and be known 
By something or someone above humanity
    ....divine

I heard movement and looked left
I saw Him, if only for a glance
I knew Him, and He knew me
But someone smeared my screen
............I awoke without a second chance

To possess the image

Was that what I was pushing for
To own experience, unique to me
Was I placing my identity in the natural
Trying to prove value on what others see
......coming through my creativity???

Stupid distractions with magnetic attractions
Pulling and fooling the bird in flight
I don't want to be grounded in order be founded
In the legality of level-headed laws...that bite
.......and eat the heart of man

LOVE is all I want
........all circumstantial evidence is distraction
                       The End
