The Darkness, the Grey, and the Light.

In darkness
I find the light easily
I just open my eyes
And listen

It is the grey world of the mundane
Which confounds my seeking
Where everything which casts a shadow
Seems lighter than the darkness

Sage and grass
In endless waves
Blue sky clouds
Race the sun

While I sit
High upon the hilltop
Feeling the breeze
Wash over me

The quality of an experience

Is not proportioned
By the difficulty of obtaining it

But is informed
By the quality of attention I offer it

As a long day working
Draws to a close
The clouds roll in
The sun draws low
The wind goes calm

Clouds and Islands darken
Hinting at the night to come
And the sleep
The long overdue sleep
Darkness welcomes

I love being
Where the sky is big
And the land is bigger

I love being
In a space bigger than I
Where I wade out into expanse

All I ever wanted
Out of life
Was to carve out
Some small domain
In this wild expanse
I could identify
As me

Until
I discovered non-being
And realized
Being
Was not
All it was cracked up
To be

The violets
And peonies
Blooming under
Willow trees
There ruffled by
The summer breeze

To pick them now
Would be a sin
Though lovely vase
I’d put them in
No matter rooms
They’re brightening

I am enthralled
With all of Earth
In its many tones
And textures

Such varieties
Among societies
So much beauty
In its peoples

Nothing stuns me more
Than when some implore
There’s but room enough
For One

This makes me take a sigh

Sometimes

The heat’s too hot
The cold’s too cool
No middle ground
To stand on

I choose one side
Or straddle both
The conflict
Still conflicted

We plucked the petals
And put them down
The reds and yellows
Gently on the ground
As we intoned
An old count-down

The beauty of a flower is
The life it holds
While purpose lives
Not in its petals
On the ground
Arranged so pretty
An artful mound
