Messiah For Hire- Poems From Inner Space 1966-1982
 
 
              Matter - January 3, 1975
 
One...solitary...ray...of...sunlight
Beaming through a tightly knit blanket of clouds.
 
Life as we know it,
A reflection in reverse.
 
Luminous shafts of light we are
Trying to penetrate inwards
As if upwards through the earthly
Mire of materialism and desire
That clouds our way.
 
To get within, to the light source,
We must go without.
To get back in.
 
It is not the giving up that matters.
THAT does not matter.
What is the matter
Is being controlled 
By matter.
 
When it doesn’t matter
All this matter
Then it matters.
 
Take the reins and take control
The path forward leads to light.
The tunnel is long and dark.
 
Keep your eyes trained
On that speck of light
In the far distance
And don’t look back.
