"yes, today, I wondered
what was a star?

it may very well be true that theses gods
consider us to be like unto ants

but it may not be true that every god who eats the sod
for seeding - fails to see the pain on a human face
or ignores the pleading.. and private needing
of individual huma souls

even if we were ants
to gods gazing down on us - yes, even supposing
this is how we are truly seen
it does not necessarily mean.. that we, here on Earth
are looked upon as having no personal worth

it all depends
on how one feels
about ants
does it not?"

I will always remember when I was reading about Yellow Wax (Linda) and her ants in Gooberz and a little black ant (smaller than they usually are) walked right across the page. *sigh* What an experience. I put the ant on the window sill.

And so tiny--smaller than any black ant I've ever seen. So, I thought it was a baby ant.

"there are people
who will stop hurting
if you give them money

and there are others
who don't like to hurt
and who won't take money
even if you offer it

and those last ones....
if they ever do hurt
it'ss never on purpose

like..

when they have to go away
for some reason they can't help"

"I died unexpectedly while I was sleeping
and the last thing I remember is the sound of angels weeping
as they mourned my loss in Heaven, whispering a final blessing
to protect my immortal soul on its descent down to hell
a lonely prison of three dimensions...on a spinning ball called Earth

then, from out the darkness and dearth...of the night
that followed my death
immersed in the floating sensation of falling, sans of all conscious will
I thought I heard, through the mist, a familiar voice calling....

"be still my love, be still
somewhere.. a clock is timing "us"

and I felt comforted by the promise, like a soothing prayer
as I wondered - who is "us"? I am only me
sinking once more beneath oblivion's blankets of deep-blue-velvet-peace"
