Safe I

Nowhere
Is safe so why
Do so many cling
To this or that for safety
Like Baldur’s mother who got
Everything in the world that might
Hurt her son to promise not to do
So but she forgot the holly sprig
As too insignificant and that is
What killed him so high ho
The holly and know sure
No place or routine or
Pledge can make a
World safe from
All possibilities
And we are
Safe only
After our
Time on
Earth
And
Even then
Who knows so
Best to live every
Moment day decade
As best you can
As who you
Are and
Hope
You
Do not
Hide from
What will seek
You out no matter
How frantic you try.
So face it down
Laugh at it,
Forward
To our
Fate.
