Movement One
story without plot
rhyme no reason
they are beautiful I embrace them
though frivolous
perplexing
how
you believe they have meaning
without existence of contrasting
thought
Movement Two
would you part Gemini or
hands from
their work
without water
land they till
becomes dull
mass of dirt
End of Statement
Not of song
what lyric without voice
has freewill without choice
must I
list the meaningless
forever
in
silence
Movement Three
what is
harmony without
melody
paint without
canvass
medium without
foundation
What a thought!
true freedom
without direction
majestic for a moment
only a moment
the pitfall of
my unfinished labor
makeshift vanity
dissipated into
forgotten dreams
make no mistake
such creations
bear certain
appeal
yet unseen
essence draws
them
into
the void
as memories
fragmented
in pieces
without one
final sliver
become
spare change
on the table
overlooked
forgotten
though of value
upon assembly
Movement Four
what is a character
without a tale?
what is a novel
without a soul
to speak of which was first
chicken or egg
to those who say
egg I say "nay"
a chicken will thrive
without young
the simple ellipse
without a mother-
hard-boiled
in a salad
together they are whole
the one gains life
the other lives
abundantly
The Grand Scheme! A Master Theme!
can there be
a creator without
creation
Movement Five**
Is a book worth writing without characters to fill it? or would it
be filled, with lands and backgrounds of ambiguity?
Is a person annulled without life to retell, or become a mannequin with
a simple, painted, face
p e r h a p s
joy within the stories
hardship and experience manifest
history and all live in footprints
