It doesn´t interest me

It doesn’t interest me
what you do for living
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart`s longing

It doesn`t interest me
how old you are
I want to know if you will risk
looking for a fool for love,
for your dreams,
for the adventure of being alive

It doesn`t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of
your own sorrow if you been opened by life`s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed for fear of further pain

I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it or fix it

I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers
and toes without cautioning us
to be careful, be realistic,
or to remember the limitation of being human

It doesn`t interest me
if the story you`re telling me is true
I want to know if you can true yourself,
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and
not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can see beauty,
even when it is not pretty every day,
and if you can source your life from god`s presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure an still
stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the
silver or the moon, yes!!!

It doesn`t interest me
to know, where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night
of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone and sort what
needs to be done.

It doesn`t interest me who you are,
how you came to be here
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire
with me and not shrink back.

It doesn`t interest me where or what or with
whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains
you from the inside
when all else falls away.
and if you truly like the company you
keep in the empty moments
