Tributary of Rebirth Seven Poems by Daniel Mackler Daniel Mackler 2024-03-30 | My Website: http://wildtruth.netMy Patreon: patreon.com/danielmacklerIf you wish to donate: http://wildtruth.net/donateTributary of Rebirth© Daniel MacklerA Tributary of Rebirth(January 1, 2015, New York City)Is there a wound too deep to grieveThat nothing will its ache relieveSome hidden, silent, unhealed wrongSome hurt alive from time bygone?From your first ally, your first friend That did your base foundation bendThat cooled like granite so complete Before you stood on your own feet?That warps the way you walk todayThat nothing will make go awayYet is so buried and protectedThat you might seem unaffected?Can you face it, can you solve itCan you somehow now dissolve itChart its contours, feel its horrorBe a new kind of explorer?Can you go where few are goingWhere your ancient tears are flowingDown into the deepest cleftThe spring to heal your soul bereft?Yes, you can go there, you can beA channel of sincerityA tributary of rebirthTo all who walk this wounded earth.Be Creative, Open Your Soul(April 8, 2022)Be creative, open your soulTake the risk to become wholeYet let the world know how you’re lostAnd speak no matter what the costBut also share the things you’ve foundWhile you were searching undergroundAnd drop the normal, drop the coverTake the risk to be the otherAnd take the risk to be unsureTo drop your mask, be insecureTo model something deep and newFor others striving to be trueAnd take the risk to be rejectedBy those who seem unaffectedAnd those who never risk a thingTo write or paint or dance or singAnd if your sleep at night is tense Then that’s life’s vote of confidenceFor those who slumber without strifeAre those who live a tepid lifeSo be a hero, be the brave oneAnd maybe on your path you’ll save oneNeeding someone just like youAn honest soul—creative, true!Shall I Finally Be a Leader?(May 10, 2015)Shall I finally be a leaderOne who takes a solid standWith no secret “love me, love me”But instead who lends a hand?I am inching daily closerBy the foot and yard and mileSoothing all my ancient injuriesHealing takes a lonely whileGlimpses of potential catch meIn the mirror of my lifeTaller, stronger, and more honestWalking forward through the strifeSometimes I can see it clearlyWhat my path is meant to beNot a child full of terrorRather integrated me.Little Boy Inside of Me(April 28, 2015)Little boy inside of meI know how vulnerable you areYou’ve been with me for decades sinceThe dawning of the morning starLittle boy inside of meI work each day to help you growI’ve grieved and taken distance fromThe ones who harmed you long agoLittle boy inside of meI love to watch you sing and playWe’ve walked together, now we restThere’s only so much in a day.I Will Fight and I Will Die(May 30, 2015)I will fight and I will dieTo change the world I daily tryAnd here’s my basic strategy:To liberate the best of me.For Those Who Want to Have a Child(May 20, 2015)For those who want to have a childHave you discovered what is wildInside of you, in your own soul?Or are you tame, your heart grown cold?I do not know why you can’t seeHow hurt our world has come to beAnd how the folks who procreateWere born five hundred years too lateThe time has come to end the crazyGo within, please don’t be lazyAnd do the world a service trueDo not have kids, give birth to you.The First Waters of Spring(May, 2023)I love it when the first waters of spring start to flow,when the ice melts off the top of the pond,and you can feel the life within getting ready to wake up. You know that soon the turtles will be coming out of the mud,and the frogs will be coming out too, and soon there will be tadpoles. You can’t see anything yet, but you sense it coming. It’s exciting, a time of expectant waiting. I love that feeling, and I first loved it as a boy.It was just like me, a frozen person soon to wake up.

What started all of the horror?What was the root and the cause?How do we get on a course back to truth?And how did we get so lost?The answers are so very simpleThe answers are so very plainThe answers are such that a child could understandAnd easily explainSo let me state them plainlyAnd simply from my heartIt’s not hard to comprehend themIt’s applying them that’s hardIt’s not about honoring motherfather, or culture, or stateIt’s honoring the child that’s within youYour basic, precious fateIt’s becoming your own parentIt’s becoming your own friendIt’s becoming your own motherAs the means to this dear endAnd it’s hell because the world has gone crazyAnd so very few want to knowAnd those with the need to be honestCan just feel all aloneI Can Hear ItWhen the sunlight's out of the valleyand the sunlight's off of the lakethe water still keeps rollinand the coldest waves still breakCause i can hear iti can hear itwhen I listeni can hear itwhen the sunlight’s out of the forestand the greens all fade to brownand the birds all finish their singingtheir heartbeats still make soundschoruswhen the distance separates usand the telephone lines are downand there's no one left to love meand keep me planted on the groundchoruswhen the morning air is freezingand the firewood is wetand my blistered feet are frozeni'll make it homeward yetchorusMy Valley Homethere's a land that i live in cross the bridge from where I've comethere's a land that i live in and it separates me from somethere's a land that i live in it's a world of life and lovea world joined up with others on quest to open upto heal and still to feel all in a thousand different tongueswhile the paths we take are each our own they lead to a valley we call homea common bond is one we've forged while traveling afaralone and hungry no companions but our guiding starsthe common thread that we've all felt is the fabric of our landwoven of love and empathy for all our fellow manthe strength we hold is in our hearts we can't be torn apart'cause the land beneath our feet has life and our footsteps make our artthere's a land that i live in cross the bridge from where I've comei've come from blindness fear and darkness to face the rising suni can't go back and i won't go back cause i love my valley homewhere the wind at night is cool and fresh and the stars, they guide me when I roamPizza Parlor Song[chorus] I wanna be a happy face Behind the glass in a pizza parlor Eating my pizza and laughing about the rainI wanna be a love musicianPlay my songs for all who’ll listenPick and sing from morning until nightBut I am sort of noncommittalAll my plans are weak and brittleWandering through this razed and ravaged landThe only things I do with forceAre write and play guitar of courseBesides that I’m a feather in the windchorusI called for an apartment out in BrooklynBut someone else was already lookinSo I just shrugged and played some more guitarBut Life has got some plans in storeAnd come a month I’m out the doorSo I had better kick this act in gearchorusHow Long Can I Deny My Artistic Side?verseWhat’ll I turn into if I give in and go with the flow?Who’s gonna want to spend their nights, keeping me warm from the snow?Chorus 1How long can I deny my artistic side?How long can I deny my artistic side?verseIt’s a strange new bed in a strange new city to try and call my ownAny two sheets to squeeze between to stop me when I roamChorus 2it’s a struggle to play in the big leagues now that they’re phasing out the minorsit’s a struggle to play in the big leagues now that they’re phasing out the minorsverseBringing home the food and still feeding myself withinif that's not just the struggle of life then I don't know what ischorus 1
