A Poem

Human Discourse

Of course human discourse
Is a force of much importance
Verbal back and forths
How we all hold a view and core stance

Representing values and systems
Oral or written
They reside in our core
In the depths of our soul folklore

We all have tales
Telling when our values were tested
Rested on assumptions

We were then forced to question
Each lesson, an instant message
Whose message has left us
In the quest of more questions

So we prevail on this trail
Unwanting to grow stale
Walking over bouldered roads
Bumpy like brail
Paper, white paper
Crumpled to a ball

Planet Earth condensing matter
Into a mind so small
But does the mind matter?
Matter of fact it does.

If you make not the mind matter
It floats onwards like fuzz...

But the question remains...
How much buzz need there be?
Are you settled on one flower?
Or busy like a bee?

The water or the lotus?
The wind or the tree?

Forces of the mind
Beckon us into motion
As streams move to rivers
And rivers move to oceans

While sense makes to thoughts
And thoughts make to sentences
To emotions and understanding
Towards eventual transcendence.
