The Trick – Steve Taylor
The trick is to trust yourself
not to try to trap your prey
or seduce your lover
If you feel frustrated
the animal will scent your anxiety
and veer away
your lover will sense your desperation
and spurn you
Your soul is delicate
you can’t shake and squeeze her
or scrape her sides
for a few last crumbs of insight
She needs time to collect herself
to gather her dissipated power
Too much force will break the mould
of invisible patterns and potentials
which give birth to beauty
She may seem barren now
but she’s not dead, only sleeping
New life is slowly seeping through
from that deep underground source
making her moist and rich again
until she’s ready to release
strange new joys
–
Your soul has never you let you down
and never will
as long as you are patient
as long as you are still
–
this is georgous!
