Mistaking him for It

or she for It

or it for It

Well that’s when everything-

cries of passion, clods of pain, and the ever-living all-

circles the drain and

without the swirl and presence 

of boundless Love,

you are ensnared

because nobody,

no matter the who,

or the what,

can ever

step in for Spirit

as He/She/It will always find you

in the end-

and why on earth

wait

until then?
