Passing along, reciting influential portions
Combing memory, settling in mind
Breaking consciousness…man’s movements
Attitude of open windows
Resting on a night stand…
Making up words to go with the snap shots
Rising dress hems, from a place of elegant hearths

Lying softy and level, along fine golden hairs
Graced against skin, skillful, balanced fashion!
Something fine-looking, sun popping out
Full and luminous, a preaching young poplar
Traveling hatless like major weather patterns
Fresh rain advances layers of expression
Forming a topography like an observer~
In motifs repeated over and over
Rubbing into the soil, with a shuffle of sound

Standing midpoint in the road
Powdery fresh orange rind, trolling night and day
A contented trade, last grass of summer
Telling tales by fireside, hair swept back
Over sleeping dreams of autumn, rising…rising
Adjusting notions…stepping out
Air locked in a sapling gaze, flared up breath
Puffing and standing in line, waiting for the grandfather
To nod….

Talking seamlessly, merging with a resonance of water
Soothing creek silence, skipping stones
To the sound of wonderment and light appeal
Swatting crochet balls, deep into time’s hoops
Forefinger of life systematically filling earthen cups
Taking a long bite out of proportions of things
Days wander off to some unknown disorder in unison
Building concerts with misplaced enthusiasm
Watching with amusement, desires building a bridge
Hours upon hours walk, the first draft

Flecking patterns of familiar tea leaves
Response pacing, barely audible pathways
Riding a higher column of air…floating up…up
Practicing the color of inner belongings
As a “random way of things”

"Soothing creek silence, skipping stones

Wonderful write as always Lee.
I especially love the imagery in the above lines.
