Friends

He's been to the jungle 

He's taken the drugs 

Led by shamans

He's seen the inside of his head 

     Expanding 

     Outward 

Now, one would hope, 

Some knowledge of 

     The heart 

Might be 

Forthcoming 

That the sky might 

     Open up 

Inside 

That he might see the heart 

Expand 

-The spiritual connection 

With -

There is no explanation for 

What he's done 

What he's seen 

But the size of the bugs 

Was obscene . . .

Am I jealous that some people 

Have the health 

To travel ?

I suppose . . .

But from what I've been told 

The greatest journey 

Is within -

The greatest test of courage 

Is to meet ourselves 

In silence 

And let God come in 

And be our friend
