What to Do<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
What is time but a delaying of eternity?<\/p>\n
Make friends with the animals within you<\/p>\n
Before they\u2019re gone.\u00a0 After all,<\/p>\n
Who will be there when the door appears<\/p>\n
And the Word comes?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Turn away from the pride of intelligence,<\/p>\n
Turn away from caring what anyone else thinks<\/p>\n
About how you\u2019re following the long trail<\/p>\n
Of hooves and padded feet–<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Walk, or be carried, just keep watching<\/p>\n
Where the animals\u2019 dark eyes are looking<\/p>\n
With all the wild devotion of those<\/p>\n
Aching to be touched by the one<\/p>\n
Who understands.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
