To the fore in '24
i. to the point
Two oh
two four
is the year
to know
much more
to grow
so bold
we glow
brighter every ‘our
sense of honour
sense of calm
join together
to know
you can
we can become
bright life giving
like the sun
two by two
to twenty-four
we join hands
we join hearts and souls
sing two oh
two four
calmly stand
honour the land
to gather
to-gether
all good living beings
ground your feet
raise your spirits
the shift is here
and we are it
two oh
two four
we know
much more
we shine
heart lights
growing anew
to-gether
ii. exegesis
How ever have so many years
passed since Y2K
closed off the previous century
wonders the Widow Wyile
in a relatively snowless January
eleven and a half months
before the first quarter of the current
century that manifests
an ever greater
split
between devolving and mayhem
the sad lot of captured souls
and trance ending human creativity
rejoicing in human connectivity
soaring bright starseed radiating
tenacious as dandelion clocks
intentionally celebrating
the fecund potentiality of exchange
between breathing animals and
growing plants and soil regeneration
miracle of cycles that feed life
Twenty-four is a whole
two dozen reasons to step on through
the daze that locks us down
into I don’t/can’t care despair
a sad space of pointlessness
no one who loves the light
will choose
Twenty-four is more than twenty
is more than a plenty big door
for gumption boots to walk
skip!
or l e a p on through
to ask yourself
some lardy questions
like just what kind of beans
you really want to bake
how much you really like
that kale that’s in your shake
how much more baloney
you can really bear
and more precisely
when the time has come
for truth
that will
transform
the years of abounding foundling fears
into a plenitude of beneficent
joyous reverential peace
{{{ rev-er- {{ be }} -ra-ting }}}
do you hear it?
with peals of {{{ laugh {{laugh}} {{laugh}} ter}}}!
e x p a n d i n g admiration and AWE
for the all-natural
and we mean
Mother Nature natural
miracle of life
the ingenuity of fully human bodies
and their inherent divinity
a perfection entrusted to each one
to hold and to cherish
two dozen fold
Let’s love good human change
into being
full on I-am-being
so we can walk on through the chaos
and come out shining new
don’t protest how hard it will be
that’s what ‘24’s gonna be for
so get a wiggle on
go right on through
its January door
Two oh
two four
is the year
to know
much more
to grow so bold
we glow
we shine
two oh
two four
the shift is here
and we are it
