No Secrets…

No Secrets
 
There are no secrets.
We walk and walk and walk
we talk
until we fly and fall.
 
I want to see it all:
the entire picture ~ you know,
the picture we’ve been painting all
these many lifetimes.
Past times.  These times.
Not just me.  You.   Too.
What do you say?
 
Someone asked me today
if we humans finally extinguish ourselves
what will God do?
What do we lose?
I told him we’ll all just find
another place.  Create another time.
Create time.  Shine.
 
Maybe that’s the secret
burning into you.
Maybe, then, we see the entire view.
But, for now. I fall into
you.  You.  YOU.
See?
 
What I cannot see?
The forests for the trees.
No secrets. 
So, what do we do?  What can we do? 
What should we do?
 
Walk on, you.
You beautiful being.
Be.
You.  YOU.
