[ Sacred Beliefs ] Meeting Bare Minimum Requirements

   
Getting lost for what    
seems to be lifetimes    
gone by in blinking of eyes    
     
or in reverie's momentary flash    
     
dance begun and ended    
without any particular partner    
     
is how we navigate our way    
around a pole positioned existence    
without border walls, limitations    
or stage drop-off    
     
Now, to lace such free-form    
verse in fancier phrase when already    
uncomplicated in its briefness    
is often a disservice    
     
although a million other    
well proportioned metaphors    
could give the aforementioned    
bare skinned figuring    
your money's worth of      
entertainment with a heaping    
handful helping of unmentionedables    
     
Poetry often is pretty words    
stringing you along until the song    
ends leaving you with no meaning      
deeper than mere pocket space    
empty of any single    
self aware expansion    
     
while a no-frilled embodiment    
provided by the scant covering      
of simple basics can offer    
a Universe of thrilling fulfillment
