Tied by Chords

Tied by Chords

One note soft, but strong
lilts into another, loud and long
a vibrational path gleaming
all the beauty of the souls’ song

Tied together by chords, like threads
slender strings all inter-webbed

Other voices soulfully weaving 
emotions sounded – joy, anger,
pleasure, dread, a shift in rhythm

As a new pattern emerges,
dancers leap with passions urge
weaving strings of life’s meaning

Lacy blends from funeral dirge
through ponderous celebration
into delights ministrations

Wisdom Waken

Wisdom Waken

 
 
A crack in the world
letting the light arrive
awakening mystery
amidst normal day to day
shadow felled in one swoop
one breaking open
on dawning
 
tell me more with lively
let the wisdom waken
colors dancing on the tip
awareness ogled sweetly
glowering harrumphs
glowingly once more
 
on the path to never said it
in the age of mellowness
there the hints of other
profiles rise to firmament
through mud’s disguise

 

Caterpiano

Caterpiano

 
 
old abandoned and rusty
usefulness no more
still you could tell
dancing fingertips once
wrought harmony’s fusion
 
heels clicked and squiveled
skirts skirted and whooshed
terrains yet overlooked
blithely measured notes
now ghostly impressions
 
handsome decrepitude
enshrined in dereliction

 

Awakening

Awakening to the spotted light
 
hung on crisp breezes
riffling through fresh, green leaves
 
Syncopated thoughts
join the serrated rhythm
of an early morning dance
  
The light tickles all the senses
nudging memories
outside the race and keep up
of these quick and scheduled days

Wild Abandon

Like Gypsies
they danced
with wild abandon
Seeking nothing
finding joyous
sweet expression
A doorway
to inner peace…
