Together We Go
I sat in the
impenetrable darkness,
a Götterdämmerung,
heavens rent sky falling,
some devoted to the tyranny
of lesser gods, while
others tried to escape
that which cannot be escaped,
while others inhabit
the same space,
Longing for a love that
asks no questions,
embracing struggles
with the paradox that
you, I, we, together go.

We really are, but I wonder if many can see it or even live with it. Thank you Liz.

We go against the flow, we don’t seek after lesser gods nor greater gods.
