Layer upon layer
Smoke on smoke
Thickens, on the rise
Islands and mountains
Fading, in steps of blues and tourquoise
Smoke on smoke
Thickens, on the rise
Islands and mountains
Fading, in steps of blues and tourquoise
A trickle at first
Then a torrent
Then a tumult
Until the space filled
In a thunderous storm
Feeling
very small
and finite
With twists and turns
I’m never sure
Just where
The road takes me
Whether that passion be God
Or Gaia
An ideal
Or a cause
Beauty
Or love
I may have to step
Through many doorways
To find its source
Sights, sounds, smells
Unlike anywhere else
In a country
Unlike anywhere else
