As Long As It Takes
Richard Mackey
June 30, 2015
How long on the mountain
before we see her eyes.
How long in the laughter
before we own our smile.
How long in our cities
before we realize.
How long with our children
before we see their brilliance.
How long to hear wise things
before the silver and gold wings.
How long in the senses
before we take down fences.
How long in the ego
before we find the amigo.
How long on our roads
before we lighten our loads.
How long in the storm
before we lose our form.
How long to hear wise things
from the silver and gold wings.
How long in our ignorance
before all the bluebirds sing.
How long in the fields
without what the trees bring.
How long with poisoned food
before we leave the mood.
How long in the lie
before we see the sky.
How long to hear wise things
before the silver and gold wings.
