It's important to be individual
To have clarity
And sure-footed identity

Be you / who you love to be
You the One and Only.

To know without doubt
Lingering in messy things,
Messed around
The experience of Proof
Proven
Chosen
No where else
No one cared
Here just to exist
So resist
Nothing of the kind
careless
Whisperings

Sweet Jesus
Said...

Live as free men / love all and the other
The women sister mothers mine
I am as you are
The offspring
The meaning
Is the purpose of the times
Born to life then must die
But a piece of you lives on
In that baby-child
You can see it in the eyes...

Breaking through
Into flesh
From some other surface
A different sea
Generations now smile at you
Stars in stellar space
We are not separate
You and I

Apartheid did segregate
By old world war rules
Of occupy and *****
Sow them
Who the hell's bad seed?

Do you know you
Who you love to be?
Always not Almost

Cuz see,
You see you can fly, right?
The wide blue sky
Says so
Boy who could
And will...

Who are you again?

I am the wing & the breath
The flock of birds
You hold in your chest
Know love
Is a gift of sky
Together let us fly


Together still all individuals
Each a windswept sigh
Love
My future's memory
Will never go to die, for you are
The apple of my
(Adam)
                                 Eye.
