Island of White Listen to an ancient river Proving destiny, island white Burning incense, hugging melancholy Traveler, oh traveler, floats leisurely by Thick hair never tires of looking At your blue spring water journey Soft sounds plucking strings of deep wood Alpine Orchestra…you the maestro Eternal golden oak wood potential With perfumed sleeves Your scent smiling on morning Nestling in high chambers of pearl Circumstance grows green vines Giving chance to drink Tunes of wind…. You’ve pleased me through the ends of autumn Marking our place in life’s waters Taken me to silhouettes, where ponds ripple Bearing my body, in deep admiration Night rain...urges me to distain My soul wearing you like a smile While you lift your wings and use them again Picking thyme along the miles With rugged brow, like a wise dream A thousand heartbeats away Still near, hovering soft Knowing we danced & made.... Loving mountains, green with moss Sometimes I am beyond sight Because of you…drifting through Moonlight crescents…like the missing In recluse, the music of your mind Seeps and hugs those empty places Where we used to be...I smile to visit Proving the name of a great terra firma I’d never known until you...

very much like a river or stream in form; whenever i expected a sound or word you did something different that fit exactly. i do not know if it was intentional but there were parts that were slower, then faster, then kind of swirlly where i had to re-read before moving on. nice. -majnu |
