Sometimes you lock your heart inside a dank passage
you forgot you had and then you stumble upon it
~ a dusty old book ~
at once you’re hooked
to a long forgotten oath
Is this what it means to be woke?
from a dream
a whimsical dream
like a shell of laborious protection
I was sleeping in between
I see myself in the reflection
merging
fragmented glass
to find some spirit that goes by the name of
tikkun olam
in the shambles that tell a story from my lair
of protection
nurturing the new baby
born out of necessity
My baby
My life
My rebirth
Reincarnation
Sounds like a mantra
of
bel cantos...
Feed me before I feed you
Feed me like I feed you
Feed me too
Feed
Me. Too.
*Tikkun Olam is a belief in Jewish mysticism that through social justice and service fostered by self-love and acceptance the world can be healed.
