Original grain

Original grain                                                                                      
 
I want to not know
any other way to be.
 
Cut my alternatives
down to zero, the original grain
 
good for me, good for me;
truth will out and out of that truth
 
a worn out humbleness, holiness revealed;
holy however imperfect, impure, impaired.
 
Dream if you must
of unbridled potential.
 
I want to not know
any other way to be,
 
rubbed down to the nub, the original grain
and go with that, go with that, go with that.
 
O child of God, the Way, said the venerable
Lao Tzu, is gained by daily loss.
