A small cave opened in the clouds
reflecting my presence to the sky,
being here and there
stretched and strummed
Invisibly,
I vibrate as treetop violins.
There I learned to catch waves of meanings
and be present when
and
wherever.
I Hitchhiked a word.
A quick ride across the room,
where I hitched a ride on a phrase.
I went in
and
out
and
around each word
making new meanings
on an old phrase,
A turning faze.
Took a word
on a trip.
Took it to lunch.
My word ordered soup-
alphabet soup.
Gave my word
some space,
and
it came back with friends.
Who said,
they had something to say.
Words of encouragement
attracting other words.
Many words said,
“Eating alphabet soup
was cannibalism.’
Made friends with
other words-
they told me secrets-
they told lies-
Words asked me questions.
I asked them what they did for work?
It told me a story,
I laughed-
I cried-
Words caressed my ear.
Soothed my mind.
I said watch over my word,
and
my word
became a tune
Singing
‘Words will set you free.’
Words had a party.
It was a dance,
Letters coupled in corners.
O coupled with K.
I danced with S.
B with E.
The inquisitive ones
Stood in groups by the bar asking-
What?
When?
Where?
How?
Then words at
Humanity’s Request,
Invited the Dignitaries
Of the Word World.
Love came first,
in a threesome
with Hope and Faith.
Others came from all directions-
Being & Presence
Doing & Forgiveness
Remembering & Work
Dance & Grace
Kiss, Cuddle, Hug
Choice, Change & Conscience
Magic & Mystery
Music & Art
I,
You,
Us & Them,
We & you again.
All & Everything
Ways & Always
Smiles & Laughs
Courage & Dreams
Birth & Death
Peace, Play, Amuse, Amaze
Touch, Taste, Smell
Look & Feel
The words said,
“See the world the way no one else ever had,
and
write it down, and write it up.”
Then came
Heaven and Creations.
The Earth and Moon and Sun,
Stars and Sky.
The Wind blew,
Water flowed
As Oceans, Seas, Rivers, Streams, Lakes and Ponds.
We found space
for comfort.
Rest brought a Joke,
a Story,
and
a Friend.
The words then said,
Please take a Risk
And invoke a deity saying,
“For God’s sake use your imagination.”
When Thank
Found You,
The evening was complete.
Vision came again as the mirror
Reflected me back from the small cave in the sky.
