taken on a journey
to a place i could never go
by
a paintbrush

Encircling
Pandiatonic and encircling,
In wind and waves of sound,
A song of connection and
Contemplation,
Surrounding and
Full of the numinous
To share is human:
autumn scene
swamps
red
with reeds
in autumn
placemats on tables
set for sleeping green giants
as the clouds, the original blimps, soar above —
To share is human:
the storm rolls in and over her
the storm rolls in and over her;
a world of changing metaphor:
of summer sunlight turned to rain –
to dark and damp and ever-pour –
inside the rainbow of her dreams,
yet lives a shadow, once in light —
the storm rolls in and covers her,
and helpless day gives way
to hopeless
night
To share is human:
old ground
we’re covering the same old ground,
on each word, we obsess:
the fields are neat and ordered, but
the human heart’s a mess
things go as they are wont to go;
they come, and pass away —
new crops upon the same old ground,
another
yesterday
To share is human:
in november
i tangled you in snow because
you tangled me in dreams;
i sought you in november, by
a thousand frozen streams
you bade me to remember that
a heart was made for breaking;
despairing winds were blowing, and
like me, the leaves were shaking
i tangled you in dreams because
you mangled me in snow;
in cold november once, beside
the fields of long
ago
