Conversion never cloaks its exposure
Laying daybreak out, like objects in a museum
Absentmindedly standing tall
Friendly visions…watching all
Mystical union in a place of truth
With flanged nostrils of daylight
Dispatching gestures of night
Similar colors making issues
And the next moments in our lives

By such motions, I believe we are fused
Above the breath of life, widely flexible
Incessantly dreaming chaos into light
Where movements becomes a thing of eyes
There, thoughts walk bravely outside
Snapping their fingers to the ease and content
Of sound, into visions…then

Into wishes committing choices
Instruments of tune, being bound
Remembered as indefinite horizons
Walking through poplars of song
Courting afternoons in winter, to borrow what has gone
Like a damp breeze blowing from the ocean
Great odds step bravely from behind the gravestone

Muttering great facts preached by long gone communities
Lovely things, orchards of sun…
Like the voice of a palmetto, singing in sea air
Fragments of indefinite events
Lying anchored on an afternoon hill, playing hide and seek

Concentrating on folding back on themselves
Just to prove spectacular victories of peace
Familiar landscapes, guiding a great force of natural solutions
Tokens of some other globe, a deeper life, sweeps us forth
In the nature of things, perspectives of a grand illusion
Well thought out inwardly, like a
Whole other subsistence,
Toward which we aim our hearts….commingling to create
