Dawn Song

light

Lights and shadows creep over the mountains at dawn
Bright colors slowly appear to illuminate this day
Every time the sun rises there is a new opportunity
To see clearly and to sing in harmony with all of nature

Rush

imaginary place

We flow between seasons, obligations and reasons
To rush from one moment to a never ending line of others
Our escape into imaginary regions preserves imagination
For the times that we can glimpse a reflection of eternity

Watch Party

September 10, 2019

Watchers

The night begins with music. Waltzes fill the air with sounds

The costumed creatures take their places whirling all around

The frenzy mounts to a crazy pitch while the watchers gather

To see the dancing figures form a circle and change to smoke from matter

The crowd disappeared beneath the dust and the flaming sky

Nobody bothered to look back or ask the question why

Retreat

Retreat into the center to find the truth beneath the breath
The way is cleared, obstacles are removed from the path
In stillness.
The mind heals itself in silence.

Lesson

The author did not sign the work, but left it on the ground
At first nobody noticed when it came alive with sound
The colors became fluid, and the words escaped in flames
A violent rush of emotions turned assumptions into games
There was no time to interpret the truth it brought to light
The lesson arrived too late to stop the impending fight

Rapid Ride

This interlude is punctuated by quick movements to the side
Each moment is tense, somehow fragile, breaking stride
With the smooth and even pace that we have come to know
The ripples of the sound waves are muddled in the flow
The waves and splashing water carry power in the tide
Floating downstream here and now is a rapid ride.
