The Great Connection

New Year's Day 
And I have had 
Oatmeal 
For breakfast !
- a "plant based diet" 
No bacon 
No eggs 
Hopefully not 
     "Genetically modified"
Oats . . .

Not that I will do this 
Everyday -
I prefer to be free
Of platitudes and 
Pronouncements
As much as may be 
Possible 

And this afternoon I will be 
Watching 
The great American 
FOOTBALL GAME 
and ROSE PARADE
On someone's great big 
TV 

God save us !!

In the past 
I have avoided such 
As being much too 
Much! 
But 
I am turning over a 
New Leaf 
Of going along with what 
Happens to be happening 
As long as there is no direct injury 
Involved 
To either party

They may carry a few players 
Off the field 
And many roses had to die 
To decorate 
But 
The players make millions 
To suffer such 
And roses were born
To be sacrificed

To be given 
To lovers in love -
To be the sign 
Of perfect love -
Of spiritual heart
Opening -

The rose within us
Needs to be watered 
To be fed
To be nurtured
And to be admired 
For what it is 

-Our great connection 
With that Love of
Pure creation 
Pure beingness
Oneness
Love
