Ferocious focus
zeroes in
on a target,
unflagging.
Gathered in sweaty
enclaves,
guttural voices raise
in statements,
inquisition,
allusions
and arguments.
Ebbing away
to solitude,
minds muse
and meditate,
listening
to the eloquent
silence.
Challenged by twin
tidal pulls
of consumption
and distraction,
we risk drowning,
or worse -
passive floating.
Must truth
entertain us
into mindless
comas of
self-satisfaction?
Shake off the lethargy
and dive into Truth
with
ferocious focus.
Filter moments
with careful
attention to detail.
Be alert for messages
in static
and
seeming dullness.
Remove distraction.
Listen.
And swim
against
the current.
