dark images
need not be dark
'dead bird
dead yak
eyes going deep dark'
suddenly awake
in 'a Tibetan mastiff's bark'
Tibet is spiritual land of dispersal burial
sleep in anoxic waters
disssolved oxygen depleted
daylight fades into dusk awake
stars sparkle in satin velvet dark night
photosynthesis slows stops
during nighttime hours absence of light
shortly after sunrise
anoxic conditions
intensifying throughout
light absent night
attain maximum oxygen
disssolved depleted state
dream peace sustains wise souls
the wildest dream could be freedom
freedom from that which oppresses
our spirit soul need not violence fight...
that which at first sight appears alien
may be but language cultural difference
the heart sings in yearning for love
understanding wisdom acceptance...
to be loved
to be understood
is our common
universal humanity
reduced
to an individual
questing meaning love
in enviromental
cultural
universal
life
lessons
each heart
will afirm
or deny time seasoned peace
'come! My deepest human yearning'
