why do we stay

-


"How did the rose ever open its heart
And give to this world all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light against its being,
Otherwise we all remain too frightened. " ~ Hafiz

why we stay as wall flowers, growing
both towards, and away from the light
sometimes left for intervals of time

without mid-day brightness-- as windows
face north to honor ancestral songs
or east, welcoming surya sun

to place our gaze to the quick thrill
of southern sunshine, or the sometimes
harshness of western warmth- so close

to sunset- has, does, and shall
move the light to bathe our souls
in an infinite, fearless... rock and roll
