] Date Posted: 08:46:56 01/28/08 Mon Riding Midnight Beyond Mars In the crust of a day crumbs give way to gravity falling into the grout lines of our tiled choices we leave a part of us behind the walls of ticking clocks behind the unspoken thoughts of lonely moments in the vague vestibules of our regrets time keeps no score it seeks no solution beyond the clear evidence of a rising moon In the hollows we remain forever protected from ourselves I watch an army of ants disappear into the cracks of concrete in a slow parade that zigzags back into tall tree grass blades they travel on despite my presence as if they know for sure that fate alone holds the sole answer to their survival On their backs the weight of their worlds loyal soldiers marching on towards an instinctive destiny the earth holds no wonders in their eyes it is the HUMAN side of me that strikes the sudden envy Later; I walk past the shredded pines that lay dead near the silver pond once they brushed the golden sun from the rising, lazy, knoll It takes time to shut time off, time to slow enough to ignore a clock there is great gifts when thoughts are free enough to fly unmeasured in the beauty of paused silver moments here, gazing at my twisted reflection on the surface of this beaver's pond I celebrate the you in me, the me in you, the all in everything, the total sum of what it takes to bleed a day into a night My life is a reflection of clouds that slip on by some days they block the sun, gray and filled with rain all things are redeemable, even hatred that kills the spirit of soul songs before their final note is ever played It takes a world to make a life and life to make a world It takes great faith in you and I to battle past the fear to capture silver moments that sail behind clouds on a starlit path to dreams As the midnight so effortlessly rolls in I wink at lady Venus as the red ball of Mars appears to be just another star It is a sky of wonder where all things that shine find enough space to claim their own harmonic worth There are great lessons to be learned in the lonely silence of a midnight blue ajs [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 01:22:43 01/29/08 Tue Hello Andy You paint how extraordinary the ordinary is, how the small has such a depth of purpose in this enormous universe, how we struggle to find that in our human ways, and yet, how that midnight blue is such a great teacher, with an eternity of lessons for us all. This journey, from the crumbs to the heavens, just awesome. Max [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
