Promised Hour

Promised Hour
Villa of the Mysteries, Pompeii, Campania, Italy, 79 A.D

Hours in, hours out
the outcome is what it's all about.
The good get better
while the blessed
say whatever the cards may be,
will be.
Let's just be! Can you just be?
That's how the tortoise & hare
Came to be
Circles drawn around the roads
meant for me.
My heart hums
while getting better.
To get better is to just be.
In the eyes of an immigrant mind
to be is to make a flame burn gold
that is to justify your place on
this foreign green earth.
