Denouement~

Paintings on the sky
beneath the sun's sparkles
ever on the run..
In the territory of clouds
the gulls and pigeons
with effortless zeal
tumble frantically in the air,
sort themselves into V formation
....sparkle, glow and fade
streaking across the blue sky

Is this the candid sky
with all its bounty?
Time is...
when I watch
...the glistening, sequined drizzle
lynched by the birds
drop chanting in unison-
     'dip  dip  dip'
soaking the dry yellow grass
         and the red gravel

aah, I sniff for a whiff
        of the intoxicating wet earth
            of the green scent of freshness
     And suddenly,
          the time loses
              the sense of continuum...
I realize,
     the sky inside of me is neither
half-
     way
           down
nor
        up ahead
                       in the spirit
       of the undulating sky
      I do sky-ride thru'out the day
                 on its back
             It trucks me to
                Where I'd like to be...
My heart loves to leap
       like the wings of the squall
to allay my thirst.


PS--It’s an exploration within consciousness….It is like indulging in the thoughts and questions that touch that deep sense of mystery and awe, …that sparks curiosity.


Hello! I am back, after an extended blog break. Writing is hard. Getting back into writing is really, really hard.
