There, I saw the beauty of everything I’d ever known before Everything I had dreamt of, wanted, & fought for. Drenching me with moist smiles of air, in a Victorian laced wedding dress, Humid and ancient. Each moment yearning to participate. An old woman with a friendly tongue & azure throat yawning threads of sea. Soft tangible music, layers unfolding equating the sum of something essential, like Sunday Mornings. Exposing my soul’s intimate portrait. Delving into an endless quiet noise (white sound) Penetrating throughout nights and days, of a drunken voyage. Waiting for the last entrées to spend themselves, dripping a genuine need of diverse imagination. I sailed as a child encompassed in this simplicity, returning to sobriety and the immobilization of love, both fortune and peril. Within that imagination, I recognized myself again, the intense poet of self- examination. Within this swollen element, there is a prophetic quality, like an entire ocean indoctrinating the mind’s equality, an intellectual admiration. An exaggerated composition on our right side, separating man from child, day from night, yet linking a generous conviction very softly articulating mission, the four encompassed trade winds, combines everything into one sound. Multiple language, all in its own, translating destiny…literally dedicating a lifetime of community service for eternity. How you use it is entirely up to you. And so upon return, there to that place in time, I will refresh and be open To this tremendous Touch, of the Hand of nature, sea, warm tropical winds and God |
