The Line


What if there was a line,
right in the middle,
of wherever you are,
and everything you wanted,
ever desired and hoped for,
was right across that line,
all you had to do to cross over,
was leave somethings behind,
excuses, self-defeating patterns,
negative thoughts, self-criticism,
judgments, regrets, if-onlys,
blame, mistrust and your limitations,
would you cross over?

When was the last time...

When was the last time you dusted the cobwebbed corners of your mind,
When was the last time you plucked stray dreams from under your eyes,
When was the last time you stepped in a puddle or danced on the breeze,
When was the last time you reached out to paint the sky,
When was the last time you held someone you love really tight,
When was the last time you woke up to the smell of being alive,
When was the last time you shared a stranger's wistful smile,
When was the last time you filled your lungs with a cold winter's night,
When was the last time you laughed so hard that you still have the laugh lines,
When was the last time you pitched a tent under clear starry skies,
When was the last time you looked at the world with curious eyes,
When was the last time you travelled beyond your boundaries,
When was the last time you dropped your inhibitions like a child,
When was the last time you looked for simple treasures swallowed by a sofa,
When was the last time you shared a parent's hot cup of nostalgia,
When was the last time you met yourself like it’s for the first time?
Isn’t it time you renewed your acquaintance with you?

The Sciences Sing a Lullaby - Albert Goldmsith



Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you’re tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be
one body. You aren’t alone. Go to sleep.
Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town
and
History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down.
