Similar Things from Dissimilar Sources

Similar things from dissimilar sources
Soul in constant search of purchase
Hold on to something...
Wrong!!! Let Go.
It is the clasping grasping fear
that blocks the ear to hear
Cling to rock and twig and branch
Rely on muscles strained and cramped

He lets go of his purchse and relies on the wind
arms outstretched he feels it invelop him
and he looks back at his rock
as it grows smaller and less significant with distance...
With a chuckle he thinks,
"What a funny thing to cling to."

Like dust it dissolves and carried away
The wind has his faith.
Weightless, backward and the sting of loss.
As he begins, his purchase within himself is turned to dust
it dissolves and carried away
The wind has his faith.

Weightless forward now he sees his destiny
looming in a fog of atmosphere
The Flames!
Like a meteor to earth he burns:
the dust is carried away.
The face of the wind and his outstretched soul
reaching through the flame
unchanged in Spirit
purified in mix

I believe in you
to pull me through

Take my hand and find your purchase
This rock is unchanging
and these muscles do not tire!
