The impetus Of being Always on the run Through pinwheel eyes Those standing by The mystic roadway
River
Blues yet to be brushed or in blush Of evening chill's breathing a canvas like windows dreaming felt
All mindful And chockful O' Wonder Then ponder Yonder "window breaks" Past the wilderness' sleep Bone heavy wood Umber earth
Past the rush of liquid
Folding in itself / as a soundtrack Listen Pedestrian be Mindful of the cautionary whales Ahab's yell Obsessions Fears Or loathing
One's drowning in one's sleep
Look wildly widely Blithely Down river Or up there beyond finger's point Sidewinder snake journeys Until sky and below it All meet The distance
Now only a line Coalescing what is beyond Our ability to see
Far and away Evanescent Effervescent Ever after River. Life. Do not leave...
And here We are now The spirit fluent With the rapid rivers loud Always on the run
Currents like a child's curiosity ...
When or why does it end Where do we go?
Like most things existing, Will lead to the high art / love's deep oceans We often forget to seek And mind the sublimations ... driftwood.
Begin with a dot, a line A speck of dusk A burst of light A starry sky, pieces to mastery Raging fragility of water Liquid undulations Folding itself in / volumes Or falling from on high A droplet cry Then lightning (crash or bloom) From the heavens like electric rivers So brilliantly Festoons
Where do we go There and here / underfoot Over north / southern sleep To oceans twilight deep Go wrapped or map-less Or no Up yonder There up there Everywhere All without fear
My heart like the river yearns To go toward the sun A flow / the beating drum Always on the run...
