Before the Spring
Victory is an optimism
That can withstand doom
It’s not something you get by yourself
It’s something shared
Like a dialogue from those
Who have suffered their share
Clear-cutting refugees
The last species before extinction
Victory is to take responsibility
For your life, as an agent
Of free-will, without much
Drama hogging you down
A simple sudden realization
That you have evolved
And that is enough
The stained cathedral
Transparencies of your inner life
Have brought you somewhere
Far from memory, we are
A dialogue with our descendants
Nothing else really matters
We build the future in our love
And our love is creative
Like a soul seeking learning opportunities
Not the glamour of forms, prosperity
Lessons come to those who learn
Take learning lessons from experience
Experience is the only teacher
That can truly get through
To you, machine-gods can
Help, don’t be alarmed.
“Experience is the only teacher
That can truly get through to you.”
