the sleeping giant

Your silence screams aloud
mind reading your silent please
left behind in the trail of dust
of my creative questing journey

Forward and retro you go
stasis a symbology of inertia
not do or just not stepping out
women dance backward for you
as laughter fills the halls

In touch with your feminine sides
ribs touching toes meeting mind
places dark with womblike weft
warped by mother’s indifferance
or was it what she said?

I cannot stay there because
I am here all the time
I cannot go there because
I am here right now

You are where you are this moment
angry at the world you created
create a new world for yourself
and live hungrily in it.

Regret is a waste basket
shattering the creative drive
it doesn’t matter at all
what you want or desire unless
you make it happen for yourself

no one else can do it
only you can awake
the sleeping giant…
