I pray, kneeled and cornered in on the Collapse My life fades with the very near answer Here I lay in bed where the stars rest upon me Where thy souls and hearts I have met lift me Thy soul grows, from the roses and plantations Of murky answers, mem'ries and coerc'd choices and trends I followed from youth to the Fountain of Wrinkles In my life, youthful and flawed Bold and embracing, the power and blossoming And crossings of many audacious brave hearts Helped and gathered my strength When I was weak, where I could not pray I sing a Song to Love, to a Crown, to this Gathering We are but our Own Gods and paths I am but a fountain of thoughts and passions and lost controls Lost and finding, in and out of tune in a blue dot One lost in nowhere but yet consumes my space and identity My jobs and freedom My spiraling grip of intellect and maturity Philosophy and geography I hold a candle A rose, or scent An elegant gift to the night that gave me this life This vessel, strapping to leaking Keeling at its end This ship, finally finished its row and path I am awashed in the music and notes I have grown up on My silences and times spent alone Thy Mother and Father, my Sister and Brother My Light I pass to my kin My rural pleasure And my fellow Neighbor I wish treasure and settled beauty Nature and swallowing technology Improvements and brash faith To those who have given me this very Light to begin with That I now bring forward The intellects and baboons I have faced Looking out the window a million times The million fragmented visions of the One Sun The broken pieces, the broken people I have encountered That I desperately tried to piece together in vain I have discovered that I cannot order when I have problems of my own I age, I forget all I used to know My head gets thinner The fire, now sleeping in my head The final word of this world The final breath to belt this paean I try frantically to give to others To listen and take note. I wear many jewels Of forgiveness, of the Land I have been brought upon Of God, whom is now falling from me Yet I still give him compassion, though my once vivid faith is crashing down on me The Westerns and Wuxias, the books and cinema The dancing and fiery personalities I have seen I will fall and hold and you will cry but yet these thousand blurs and poses you give me fall to light and lovely history Of composition, yes I remember I will see you in the underground Or the temples of the skies O the Temple of Dawn I will hear you in the symphonies O how I will listen floating down the muddy rivers and the Sea of Fertility O sweet White Light O bright white Heat O the Images of Round dances of spring pour orchestre In the streets and by-ways I will see your names, written everywhere even in the books I read In The Making of Amavericks, Ah our sweet home and family and shining recollections of hearty dinner and schoolgrounds O the Danyesummeri; the beach-littered days with moons without blemish suns without heat My glimmering brain colliding with words and growths and blood to bash out of me And now when I break to this gate or this crazed forest of confusing manners and horrible human comedies o when my mind gets split open and falls through the vines where I must live and make my way out how I will remember the times and the prairies and the playgrounds and all that was humble and now I feel I am scared O help O hold me up O how I search with roots rich and deep how I will search ablaze for the pavilion of my preserved sanctity in the Japanese garden of my resting place walking about and out from this limbo I stumble upon Melinoe I am frightened by Saci-Pererê stunned by the artists of Cocteau and his petrified fountains of ideas he so courageously displays I will say it I shout it in hymn in rhythm LISTEN please Listen But Yet I always know, I'll always be with you! You saints, you teachers of mine How you fed me all I needed How you taught me the Birth The Art of Vision, The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes This acknowledgment I give. This Psalm I wholeheartedly mumble. This pursuance that I slowly yet surely complete. This resolution I wish to see the light of. An Ascension, A Love Supreme. Do I rise

A Very Warm Intake
