Kismet

Follow whom, Follow When

Follow All, Follow None

It hurts when I Follow One

And He leads me where it burns

Should I dismiss my fear, and risk it this once

If it fails I can start over and then

Follow All, Follow None….

Find it in my soul to care

Either I or the other has it unfair

Myself I can’t I need a hand

While in the shadows my fortune-teller stands

Follow the stars, for there’s nix down close

So far the stars, but are they far enough

Wound up in action, I need some love

Give me some here, or I seek it far above

Follow Some, Follow all but One,

That which leads me away from home

Should I take heed and hear the voice

If it works, I have found someone

If it fails I can start over and then

Follow All, Follow None……….

Ignorance

I sheltered my little flame within a crystal jar.

 

The air light or strong,

Found all glass and no warmth;

Crystal with carvings I thought were beautiful

Bliss!

 

I saw my little flame flicker.

Then all glass and no warmth -

Crystal with carvings I couldn’t see anymore.

 

My flame didn’t die!

Flames don’t die, they sleep may be;

Sometimes they leave like mine

To kindle and breathe.

 

There is no escape without captivity.
