A Righteous Path Is A Bumpy Road… Poem by Mark Heathcote

With little head height & a heavy load
A righteous path is a bumpy road.

Starfish, how I envy you right now!
You'd hold my soul like a salt wave
Oh, how I'd like us to get entangled
Truly, I'd like to rub tentacles with you
Hold your hands and pretend a new
This world was made for just me & you.

With little head height & a heavy load
A righteous path is a bumpy road.

Oh, jellyfish, how I wish
I could just drift with you
Share these stings and start a new
Live my life transparent as are you
Oh, jellyfish, how I wish
We two together could just drift forever.

With little head height & a heavy load
A righteous path is a bumpy road,

Oh, eyeless worm sleepless in the loam
Interlocked, we'd make our happy home
Sealed together; heart to heart
What would we know of the dark?
In our worm casts enclave
Making love all day; in our shallow conclaves.

With little head height & a heavy load
A righteous path is a bumpy road.
But for all of these us, it would be alright.
