truth?

by Charlie Morgan

the cosmos turns her shoulder shuddering,
'you can't stand the truth o' paramecium
of existence, algae of the one miniscule orb.'

yet your knees are bent, worn, and pained. and
this existence is the delight of all others.

as the truth is and has been here; a child's
sidewalk looms to be the width and breadth

of the Tao [the Way: Meaning of life] to you.

Love this! "as the truth is and has been here; a child's /sidewalk looms to be the width and breadth".. what great imagery. I'm sure I'll be recalling this stanza in contemplation.
