Chrysanthemums, free floating
In a Fuji crisp morning air

I breathe in Kitaro’s high notes
The bells, the birds, the drumbeats,
Letting the notes cascade over my limbs,
Settle into the crevices and folds of me
Taking me on a journey to the open sea
Where I can see beyond my self-limiting horizons

And as I bow my head and heart to the ancients,
I feel today’s souls immerse themselves within
And begin reaching outward to a future generation,
Offering the sacred vows of peace, goodwill to all

And as the notes float high upon the clouds above
I see a white dove fly by with an olive branch
carried into the boldest bluest sky
and I cry, for the hope of it,
for the dream of Peace I feel is real,
wrapped up in all the spirits that surround me

And then a brilliant rainbow bursts open…
lets go a thousand Sadako cranes in flight,
each shining a bright beam of light upon the Earth.

And in the feel of the heartbeat, the drum of life’s echo,
I believe that Peace is a possibility.

Kacy, I'm a big fan of Kitaro's music ~ and a big fan of your poetry as well!!!

You'd have done him proud if he were to read this illustrious poem!

Love & Music,

Martyjo, thank you, for the humbling comment. His music really is ethereal, and his plans for the bells of peace...well, I am in awe of his dedication.
Linda, I am not at all surprised that you are a Kitaro fan.

I'm another with no knowledge of this man. I found him very soothing to listen to, but also with a tension that seems to pull the listener in.
It is always good to read your writing, music-related or not. KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
