An artist on a wire closed his eyes, said a prayer,
and heard the voice of love calling from the side.
Softly, sweet, meek and mild, the agenda of a soul
reverberated and filled up the tent of human lives.

Softly, sweet, meek and mild, the agenda of a soul
reverberated and filled up the tent of human lives.
From the ground music loud with worldly cares
pounded through a brain the need to turn away
and back track to the safety of insignificance
in the moving picture beyond the flapping door.

Eyes wide unseeing, faces blank unfeeling,
many lives awaiting the pleasure of demise,
waved a needy hand and sucked in energy
until the artist teetered on the edge of sanity.

How clever in disguise is the mass of humankind
how artfully they dance to tunes of poor, diseased,
begging, calling, pity me, forsake your future life
and stay, return again, forever more, amen.

The artist couldn’t see behind the eyes of need,
couldn’t read the questions meant to test a soul,
and so the voice of love once heard departed sad
to watch and wait silently from the far away outside.

to stay, go back, or walk, and I too closed my eyes!
