Soft thoughts of Carnegie Hall assaulted me Like the breathe of man’s intellect Silvering fluid moments…those varieties of sense Like a cosmic film administrator Am I the movie in His psyche? Soul and form…dialogue of augmentation? Adding moral fiber to views of the world! He forms rock upon which nations are built I wander the wilderness of evensongs Embracing exotic doctrinaires of the spirit An immigrant visiting elements Steering me right into their dreams Like the child of a beautiful woman, celebrating Its dimension…the music was long reckoning Leaving me void…clueless like a lonely savage To the power of deity…tongue-tied and stammering Poise held me in the bosom of family Watching supernovas swaying all around Involved in my past and present Intimate legacy of karmic views Gathered as much as they could hold Spilling merriment onto the voice of Niagara Falls Interplay of opportunity, provided and Influenced by something that constantly speaks Light directive of fellowship Forgiving me for the times I’ve failed To offer the ability to be human The acolyte of illusion Epitomes of medicinal agendas Rewriting dreams… I take my place in line, waiting for an astrology guru What broad concept of virtue! Greek sages of themes with eyes uncluttered Throwing abbreviated lifelines Cryptic illusions in patterned tea leaves A fire-eater of endless twilight and sherbet Enough to make any demon weep with reqret Concourse of sense, leaves no adequate glossary Except the broad concept of a path to home Growing one more inch this past summer Transformation gains humble momentum Like a singing mountain…gathering wood Plunging into the employer of day Featuring sweetbreads in sherry and pomegranate glaze Metaphysical gardener achieves his goal Immutable eternal nature Living in the soft glow of kerosene lanterns On occasion we forget about the expense And proceed to board the Maid of the Mist Manifested by the loyalty of love and accomplishment Within the Falls of self-forgiving |

There was added appeal for me to your eloquent write with the references to the Maid of the Mist and Niagara Falls (my birthplace on the Canadian side). Good morning, Lee!  Linda |

LeeJ, "Metaphysical gardener achieves his goal Immutable eternal nature Living in the soft glow of kerosene lanterns On occasion we forget about the expense And proceed to board the Maid of the Mist Manifested by the loyalty of love and accomplishment Within the Falls of self-forgiving That about says it all.  |

Loved this trip into the mist. I kept my thin Maid raincoat.  |
