POETRY
| AMENDS WITH THE WIND
Invisible you slip in, manifest without a
warning; |
Moon Radiance
Her voice rose
softly from the darkness of the pit, |
|
after you left... as always in life, the stage was set in perfect timing to the rhythm of our unconscious journeys... i didn't know it would happen when i saw it coming, hadn't tried to imagine the course in actuality, outside of daydream-style illusion. i couldn't have known it, couldn't have planned it.... but when the point of occurrence came, out of nowhere you appeared, with profound truths wrapped up in flowery riddles, intricately intertwined with simplicity, a perfect balance of totality. i hung on to every carefully poised word, absorbing every shadow and crevice, drawing perspective from the marrow like a starving parasite. ....and so it happened through the course that i sat on the stoop drinking in the moon, each beam absorbing chaos in exchange for lucidity, making amends of all sorts as the wind carried the weights away. i lay in the grass that monumental day, mesmerized by the billowing clouds with caricature faces, basking in the sun's embrace - comfort in the place of unease. as i poured over your recommended collection of impeccable wisdom like a bolt of light flashing to my core...love transformed from fear... the structure who's foundation was lain long ago, but whose framework had lost it's braces, regained balance and stability with each offering of support which where graciously given and shamelessly received. i ventured to capture every masked dalliance, every eluded truth, every profoundly disguised obvious outpoured, but my cup overflowed and i bathed in the afterglow, frolicking in the freedom of spirit either way.... ....and just like that.... you all but vanished....merely a trace, a fleeting glimpse... i watched as you drifted off, waving slowly and bidding fare thee well, left a little saddened...but nodding at the knowing... the scene had changed and time had taken it's stage elsewhere...another unconscious journey...precisely merged with place and circumstance.... yet the magnitude of your revelations left glorious indentations... you were my bridge over the most turbulent of waters, and i will never (yes, never) forget to be grateful. |
