Things That Can Surprise the World

Fredrick Zydek

Make way for me, endless universe;
I’ve the courage to run with you
and am not different by design

We’re
the same stuff, old treasure, Brother Fire -
you to expand and me to cry.

What do starfish and spiders worship?
Do they think we waste too much time
on God and not enough at being what
we’re supposed to be?
What do we do
when hope is tired and we’re juggling
timber wolves?

This is your brain on poetry, muse.
It is filled with things that can surprise
the world, but the cosmos has seen it
all before.
Are there thoughts without
a thinker, music mulling itself over
in the ridged depths of rocks and stones?

Third base ain’t what it used to be when
you reach my age.
One’s holy purpose
shifts a bit to the right.
One does more than
one’s fair share of conscious aging before
the journey catches up to the dream.
