how much will we take
before bringing down the world
buried by our greed
how much will we take

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

I will take it all,
balled up as trash in my palm,
eaten by my greed.

Nice work! Greed stems from ignorance of ownership. In our proper role we are merely temporal caretakers. Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
