If I could sing...

It would be about those deep intimate connections
Among the senses

Implications

Enhancing background sounds
You know the ones, which waken beside you

Sleepy eyed…

All over & around...

Like some invisible mist, tugging at your shores

Back,
         back,  
                    back we once again sail

To an almost familiar moment
compilation of sweet tasting noise & smells
Feeling some eccentric awareness
Of honeyed stimulus, which parallels

Can you feel it?

Biting, nibbling, savoring…

Immersing deep within yourself,
Pause, and touch those insights thrashing
To become blazon physical wealth

ahhh those inspirations….

kick started such phenomenon?

Illuminations…sparkling magnificence
In a dwelling of sacred imagined thoughts

Release yourself, and allow this hypnotic
Infinite presence of nature…
To awaken that acquainted sentient sound…
unwind to a song of mystery
clandestine tones swirling around

**********

... Oh drat ...
my poor poor limited concepts
Defeating all purpose of rhyme….
It is there & yet…reaching out
Waiting to be all mine

Trying to define something we’ve never known
But feel the volume aglow
Those are images which softly whisper
Gently erupting voices, like a whimper

can you feel it all aglow?

Such beauty of places we’ve doubted, yet known?

Professing the incarnation of sunsets & song
What our hearts yearn for, yet profess
Where lovely infinitely belongs & rests

With reverence…..liberation devours the core
Surpasses happy and penetrates the soul
Compilation gifting understanding
Infinite origin & spirits expanding

A place where radiance dwells in sacred sounds…
Beyond the volume of encompassing surround
In a song to whom I once said “hello”
In some definition of time long ago

Still...it appears in my lighter version of rhyme

and for certain has been a

long

long

time

Ahhh . . . Someone else who likes the "drat" word. I find that very refreshing. This is an excellent piece of writing LeeJ. You give is much to contemplate, and I did my share. I read it twice, not because I couldn't understand it, but because I loved it. Oh no, I understood it very well thank you. All these lingering sights and smells and half remembered phrases, and best of all it all "unwind to a song of mystery." And everybody loves a mystery.
