Tenacity we survived
Year 2020
From the black
My spirit rose
Found the path
Where current flows
The energy
Connects us all
And me to me
The deepest part
I come to know
In violet light
Is bathed
Eroding, eroding, eroding
All which had supported me
Until I am perched
On a pinnacle
sun, rain, wind
the seasons
And I?
I spread my branches
all grace and reverence
basking in magnificence
Give me canary
Violet, indigo, azure
Crimson, cardinal, coral
So too does Nature
Carve and weather
Heave and crumble
Building castles
Made of stone
There was a little breeze, a few roofed camping platforms, so we parked ourselves beneath one while the ’79 Holden Gemini baked out in the sun.
A marble that never rolled an inch
Nor was shot from a giant’s thumb
Nor tossed by demonic whim
Sitting here in the sun
Sturdy as the crystalline block
He once was on this very spot
