NO EXPECTATIONS

NO EXPECTATIONS

No expectations dog your step 

no freedom lost, no load

no heavy chains to bind you

no God to confound you

no thing that penetrates

your self, you own true self

you're not upon the shelf for sale

nor languishing in luxuries pail of muck

but have the best of luck

to find a tiny seed

a seed that meets your need

of company

of harmony

of peace.

I wish to be that tiny seed

that never grows to be

a flower or fruit

beside the others in yourself

those grand fine lovers on your shelf

of ecstasies and loves

I wait for no-one's nurturing

no flame to light the fire

just let me lie like fallen fruits

until at last I expire. 

But there inside you when you need 

lies the stone that slew Goliath

waiting to defend your honour

defend your whole

so cast it on your troubles

when they torture you to death

I'll be there as a minute fleck 

of insignificant dust

that chokes the furies in their flight 

and digs them down in earth

so remember when you're needing me 

I'l be there for your second birth.
