In Life's employment
tools become companions,
might they be constructive
in building shelter
for our pursuits.
Communities offer resources
to help grow ones workmanship.
Companions
build friend ships
that dock in quiet harbors
or pass through storms
to help float
and maintain boats
above waterlines
that would swallow
the world.
Construction
occurs in time
but also minds
so open space
in you heart
for that loving
feeling
Sheltering
warm feelings
in one's mind
and in heart
is like wearing clothes
on one's body
protecting tenderness
that is the human condition
Pursuit
of mutual benefit
seems alien
when selfishness
rules hearts
and minds
as instinct
Communities though
are built from it,
mutual benefit.
And so come
private expectation
and public obligation
to work together
in synergy.
Don't lose your mind.
Growing life
happens out there,
in alternate galaxies
and on alien planets.
Why does nature
have to be nowhere.
So it can work?
We sail galaxies
on friend ships
and open space
in hearts
for mutual benefit
in synergy,
That's how it works.
