A Little Story.
Tell me what you believe in
Tell me what you do
Tell me what you believe in
There must be something
More to you
?
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
But I do
So tell me
Why can’t you
?
‘Tell me what you believe in’
Do you know
Do you know
Do you know
?
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
Tell me what you believe in
A deity
A God
On a throne
?
You must believe in something
Monotheistic
Polytheistic
Animistic
Do you perceive all things
As basic
Animals
Plants
And rocks
Or as being alive
As you are
Not plastic
Tell me what you believe in
Tell me
Do you know you’re alive
?
Tell me what you believe in
If not from above
What heats you
Up
And then
down below
?
Gets you fired
Inflamed
In your own way
Is it a line from a poem
The print
In a book
A performance
A play
Something she said
He said
Or They
?
The musician
Who shows
You
How to walk
And talk
This way
Or that
Way
And into your day
Tell me what you believe in
Just think
For a second
Take a minute
Just pause
Head tilted
Eyes closed
The silence it speaks
In no words
From the space
It comes to mind
It hears
That you are seeking
Hints at
A lesson
That you will find
Truth
Its heat
The reason
Gets through
The resonance
Of thought
In waves
Rolling
In circles
Bubbling
Through blood
That is hot
*
*
The lesson
Its essence
You are
In forms
In shapes
That shift
Transform
And twist
And mould
*
Tell me what you believe in
The person you are
Has changed
The form is different
Has altered
More beautiful
Your light
Rearranged
Every body
The same
Just watching
The bodies
Of all the rest
You’re busy
Not seeking approval
Your body
Is not a test
Tell me what it is you believe in
If you know
You know
You’re blessed
Tell me what it is you believe in
If you can
Tell me
What it is
Tell me what you believe in
I beg you
Tell me
The truth
Of you.
