Mind & Heart
Unaccountably we are alone
forever alone
and it was meant to be that way,
it was never meant to be any other way
and when the death struggle begins
the last thing I wish to see
is a ring of human faces
hovering over me
better my old friends,
the walls of my self,
let only them
be there.
Mind, heart
I have been alone but seldom lonely.
I have satisfied my thirst
at the well of my self
and that wine was good,
the best I’ve ever had,
and tonight sitting staring in the dark
I now finally understand
the dark and the light
and everything in between
and everything in between
Mind, heart
peace of mind and heart arrives
when we accept what is:
having been born into this
strange life
we must accept the wasted gamble of our days
and take some satisfaction
in the pleasure of leaving it all behind
leaving it all behind
of leaving it all behind
leaving it all
behind
cry not for me.
grieve not for me.
read what I’ve written
then forget it all.
drink from the well of yourself
and begin again.
- Bukowski
