818

poem in the stillness

nothing to see here

sky in the blue

a world in the welcome

paint soaks up the wall

you and I - slaves

to the seeing in words

so free

the forest in the garden

the kingdom in the book

all in the day and stars in reach

web in spider yet

the hearth in the fire

and winter inside

victim in venom

bulb bathed in light

the castle in the highest tower

proceedings in the lull

shirt, socks, duds

all outside in

a voice in the calling

a face in the far

mansions in the humble shack

window in the glass

eyes reflecting others

a corpse in last cough

tree in leaf and root

flower in the bee

the worm the plough forgives

and the knot above the sword

a misery of sinners here

crime of the scene itself

a witch and wizard in the spell

the bed that's deep in love

single rose in which breath gives

the wings all full of flight

open a window

birds will sing

the story in the truth

and the moment in this age

and memory beyond us all

an ocean in the rain

it's into a corner of sunshine here

and so we come to light
