SLIPPERY TIDAL FLOW
whats this
here yet again
why risk empty
page to pen
out of habit
i suppose
to release
or purge
so frequently
even though
i feel no
burning urge
here in this
present moment
to go there
no desire
to express a
thing at all
except perhaps
some other
habitual bone deep
need to heed
some vaguer
inner beckons call
in this chronic
little dance
i do with
pen and ink
stirring up the
dust a bit
to bring forth
and release
such odd
strange ghosts
as these
up from out
of some lost
voids
neutral space
of near
invisibility
here into this
still loose
though more
specific
impressionistic
form
for no real
reason at all
other than
perhaps
to relieve
and satisfy
to some degree
at least
the natural
to and fro
mysterious
inner pull
of my
subconscious
creative juices
slippery
tidal
flow
each
time
it comes
to spill
again
in it s
persistent
futile quest
to leave
no stone
nor word
unturned
to flip their
shadowed
long unseen
long forgotten
other side
over to face
the sun again
the open sky
above
and to
the possibility
of being seen
by many
or by any
other
resonant
new eyes
open minds
shining hearts
and other
more radiant
kindred spirits
to free their
too long
silenced
ancient truths
at last
transcendently
back out
into
a whole
new kind
of higher
highest
light
within
without
as one
in oneness
for alas
that time
before
too long
is surely soon
now to
come
to pass
upon and
to us all
through
the sum
free will
choice
of our own
and our
collective
human
species
slippery
tidal
flow
