Need

 

I think I'll just stay here forever

if I can remember to -
here in the release from all dark thoughts,
here in the regimen of
everything defined by its essence
and not by projected lack

Need - not as what falls short
but rather,  what waits to bless:
needs to be witnessed,.
needs to bring us along
in the bright gift it's been designed
to give us,
needs to shine forth like a sun,
needs to bring life

I'll just stay here -
I have to remember to,
to see another's need and supply it,
dancing in showers
of resultant good.
