Sometimes …
R.M. Engelhardt
“Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s shit.
These are the things all the great philosophers
just won’t tell you flat out about life.
You keep moving, keep living, keep breathing
And you keep writing-creating because that’s what you do
And that’s who you are. There are no magical voices to guide
You except your own. Make it count.

They indeed were comrades of the gods,
Possessed of Truth, the poets of old:
The fathers found the hidden light
And with true prayer brought forth the dawn.

Levitate
LEVITATE
Originally posted on R.M. ENGELHARDT:
Down on/upon the earth
Beneath the skies
?Dream-Land?
Where all the dreamers/poets dream
Gravitate, towards the great &
Immortality.
But
I don?t want
Any of
Those
Things.
Because
All I want is
You to
Levitate me.
And
Save me,
From the pain.
Initiate me
Revive me
Re~
Spark the night
Of fallen stars,
Night of hearts
Night of nights.
Send in all the angels
And all their white lights,
Send in all the lovers
And their crowns of thorns
And lies.
Cause I don?t need a
New religion
Or a guru to reach
The throne or goal
Of life.
No.
Cause
I just need you
To levitate me
And talk softly to me
And love me all
My life
And say,
Repeat
All the ancient words
And incantations
That matter.
Cause
I don?t need
Immortality.
All I need
Is you.

The Future
The future: time’s excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project, too large a morsel
for the heart’s mouth.
Future, who won’t wait for you?
Everyone is going there.
It suffices you to deepen
the absence that we are.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
