industrious 
imperceptible 
snatches 
of reality 
flash by the screen 
of my consciousness 
and glimpses are revealed 
of a truth so vast 
it is impossible to grasp 
in one gigantic gulp 
or overview 
This life is a dimly lit 
barely open crack 
of what is of 
such overwhelming 
magnitude 
that 
we are a whisper 
of its word 
an echo 
of its voice 
and all that is 
is but a fraction of a fraction 
of this 
equation 
that keeps changing 
and rearranging itself 
and as it grows 
it keeps setting up 
new configurations 
you can feel it 
but not explain it 
killers hug and hustle 
unfiltered debris 
ready to devour 
you 
falsely accuse you 
drop you into hell 
heaven is an eye surgeon 
that creates a new vision 
and you think 
you are doing it yourself 
he just pulls away the layers 
and what is already 
in proportion and 
itches to implodes and 
enters 
when 
you are off guard 
unprepared 
naked 
you better beware 
Jesus is around the corner 
in the shoe store 
helping blind soldiers and deaf ballerinas 
who do not 
handle there self centeredness 
they think they are dancing 
but they are falling 
and may never rise 
just what can be given 
to souls like these 
I say 
get out of the way 
let the rivers flow 
Every Where 
is the answer 
everywhere is the promise 
everywhere is the deceiver 
humans 
if there are some left 
must rally to the cause 
Survival depends 
upon you each one of you 
and we can tip the scale 
in the direction 
of the Face 
of the Grace 
that encompasses 
all.
