He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer
At the event horizon
In the final moments
Of my existence
Here in this dimension
As reality folds in
Upon itself
I manage to get in
One last
Artificial Light
A lamp operator hoists an 18K light up, and up and up
Special Effects pumps out the fog
Glycerine and heat and chill air
Now a glowing white mist roils through the night
Special Effects pumps out the fog
Glycerine and heat and chill air
Now a glowing white mist roils through the night
The tree, is real
The leaves have fallen from it
Rain has flooded the forest floor
As if a god had decided
On a dreary grey day
On the Andaman Sea
The sky opened up
And sunlight poured through
On the Andaman Sea
The sky opened up
And sunlight poured through
Sharp rays raking the dull air
Nature’s Chisel
Sand
Grain by grain
Wave by wave
Tide by tide
Laid down
Layer upon layer
Until the shoreline
Rises
The Invitation
Some places
Some moments
Are an invitation
Some moments
Are an invitation
To admire the beauty of existence
To see the connection of all things
To look within, to my deepest self
Time in odd places
Once I spent enough time
In enough odd places
I began to see the oddity
In places which once seemed familiar
In enough odd places
I began to see the oddity
In places which once seemed familiar
Of course
This also altered my sense
Of beauty
And the sun rose today
And the sun rose today
Just as it has every day
For millions of years
Just as it has the hundreds of times
I’ve watched it rise before
Just as it has every day
For millions of years
Just as it has the hundreds of times
I’ve watched it rise before
Darkness Emergent
Darkness emergent
Light brings shape
From the night
Form
Meanings
Light brings shape
From the night
Form
Meanings
Fast Food and Fate
I am certain
No one knew
The fate which had been wrought
When the first arches were erected
No one knew
The fate which had been wrought
When the first arches were erected
Or was it rather
A prophecy?
