... am I the sky or a bird?

©2010 Robert Dodson


i was sitting here
and i had a thought
i have laid it out as clearly
as i could

it is seeking simple connection
from the speaking I
to those that have heard me...

as you go about your life
you must seek a balance
try to be less the entertained ...
and more the entertainer

as Waits once wrote,
i wanna know
am I the sky
or a bird?

settle your self
vanquish locally sourced vibrations
eminating from self
and listen within for the word

of all that is...
in inner clarity and calm heard,
i wanna know
am I the sky
or a bird?
