Twilit artifice
Sunset muzzled by smoke
From distant fires
Rosy sky
Pastel remnants
Of celestial fire
River echoes
Light and land and life
Fuels reflective fire
Rosy sky
Pastel remnants
Of celestial fire
River echoes
Light and land and life
Fuels reflective fire
The kinship felt by being close
Without touching
Even among strangers
It’s strange to live day after day
Without the physical nearness
Of another human being
Fucking virus
One tree in a forest
One stone on a beach
One face in a crowd
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
Glory Falls
Once
Too soon fades to black
Though quick enough to rise
again
The gloried swell
To consciousnes
From dream
I wonder at the lives
Lived in the glow
Which to me
Seems just a dot
Reflected
Off a still sea
And still
They surprise me
