You're the echo that ripples through
my meditation.  When night falls,
you're the color slide over the moon's face

the pillar rooted where once bloody
hands unearthed a bedroll
under Cross St. bridge

the lucky seven thrown from sweaty palms,
fingers dipped in holy water

you're my riser, the butterfly whose
soul blossoms into a jet trail near the sea.

I feel lost, walk, and turn along the side
of the road.  There are no keys along
the highway.

You've done a lot of reading before chiming in, and then when you did...you brought forth such a poem as to receive a nod of understanding and a smile.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

just came back to enjoy this one again...something about those lines just fascinate me.
very cool writing...I love the personification and analogy, as well as the ethereal essence of it. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
