L Seagull
Thy breathing is about to cease. Thy guru hath set thee face to face before with the Clear Light; and now thou art about to experience it in its Reality... wherein all things are like the void and cloudless sky, and the naked, spotless intellect is like unto a transparent vacuum without circumference or centre
Another passage from The Tibetan Book of the Dead

Words of a poet
get all dolled up in fancy typeface
for show on paper stage.

Curtain is drawn with a raised pen-like baton
as words are readied inside a writers mind
that becomes like backstage.

All letters are word performers
who at a moments notice
step forward from chasms of a writers mind.

With breath, director who is an inspired sonneteer.
sounds the cue for the poem recital to begin.

Letters combine in creative form
making visions come alive
as readers present watch.

Forms show themselves italicized
to give strong tone to spoken word.
while others in bold costumes come in view making a point.

Phases dance faster on page
with descriptive jargon in front of a vellum backdrop
due to the writer/directors expanding passion.

Soon all actors have left their mark on illuminated stage
as poetic saga is done the curtain closes.

Closes for the readers eye lids to applaud
as the poet bows in peace.
