What I Believe

I believe there is no justice
but that cottongrass and bunchberry
grow on the mountain.

I believe that a scorpion`s sting
will kill a man
but that his wife will remarry.

I believe that, the older we get,
the weaker the body,
but the stronger the soul.

I believe that if you roll over at night
in an empty bed
the air consoles you.

I believe no one is spared
the darkness,
and no one gets all of it.

I believe we all drown eventually
in a sea of our making,
but that the land belongs to someone else.

I believe in destiny.
And I believe in free will.

I believe that, when all
the clocks break,
time goes on without them.

And I believe that whatever
pulls us under,
will do so gently.

So, as no to disturb anyone,
So as not to interfere
with what we believe in.
