Tenacious as bamboo
Resilient and strong
He grew where he was planted
In the center of his soul
On the banks of Life’s flow
Inspiration blossoms there
Like weeds of truth
Beautiful and ungroomed
Awaiting his arrangement
—————————————
Roots of a songmaker
On the cusp of new understanding
In the heart of epiphany
I felt the pinch of sidelong glances
Judgment’s governess askance
Like the pressure of birth
Squeezing my lungs alive
Revelation’s glory comes
Screaming life in to the room
And grace portends
Another gift unto this world
Seeking destiny
with spoon and fork
Earnest heart
nestled in a nest
of intertwined arguments
Feet planted firmly
In a pond of quicksand
Promises and hopes
following a pinpoint star
Brilliant epiphany…
A simple song, really
threads it’s way
throughout my consciousness
embeds itself with ease
in the intricate corners
so that at every turn
of phrase or moment
there it pops up
sparks epiphanies
inciting insights
The branch so lofty
and gnarled
huge and magnificent
still reaches lightly
with every tiny fingerlet
for the inspiration
of the sky
toes buried deep and searching
groundedness

May you be a conduit
today between above and
