De Le' Bouch El' - Working of our Hands in Finishing
Set the mark, a goal to finish a labor of love
Since being marked by desire, the work is unceasing
Painstaking, but burdened with rest of mind, will, and emotions
Organize tasks, one at a time
Focusing on the broad scope on a narrow way
Life of one given up for another's desires
The symbol of true humanity
The authentic way to what is right, accurate, and acceptable
Discern, decipher the cryptic of the embodiment of a daily practice
The sacred
You, your humanity
Man-hood, Woman-hood
Your mind, a transformational offering
Your heart, a palpitating offering
Your effort, an operating offering
Your essence, an illuminating offering
Giving breath, sweat, blood, and tears
To finish well, the impending journey
Of emptying of self
To be filled with the humanity of abiding presence in the devotion of beyond yourself
The other
The side to finish with, the race to accomplish
The way your thoughts dictate your movements
The path your feet walk dictate your adventure
Seven ventures, even eight investments
To fail, to fail again, to taste and watch dreams die
To bring a crop of redemption in blessed earth
A renewed frame of mind
A re-positioned motive of the heart
Re-desired outcomes of purpose
Re-animated gestures of connection
An image to bear and likeness to receive
A finished descent into full enfleshment
Tears and laughter
Long pauses
And sighs of stress
Overwhelmed seeking to find rest from unprofitable works
The unquestionable monotony
The answered tediousness
The necessity of survival of unfit weaknesses
Seated or stood stature
Faith in work, work in rest, the energy to finish is ease and finesse
Of thriving in what is meant to be alive, neither straining and striving
A bird flies...a fish swims...a beast runs... but speech was given to man
A governance to rule... a nature unto nurturing...a word out of void
Where we are going
Pulled and pushed unto home from and to
Bending down low to move ahead
Bending down low
Bending down
Bending
Bend
The bend
Around the bend
You around the bend
Are you around the bend?
Where are you around the bend?
Finish bending beneath intensive labor
A mark like a tally of one day
A thousand years in courts of praise
Linear communicative progress
To complete an act of love that began so long ago
At the beginning where you dwelt
As loved as you were giving us what you had in the beginning
A weight of work to finish in being broken and drained
A good practice set before to finish
The goal of home to be obtained
