Gatefold Gateway

clouds � �
turn to fog � �
to mist � �
to vapor � �
and could it be? � �
yes � �
a hint of steam � �
� �
Love � �
as Power � �
as Solace � �
as Pleasure � �
as Mystery � �
hovers � �
ever close � �
just a sliver � �
outside my reach � �
a most traversable � �
distance � �
� �
I feel it � �
viscerally � �
as reality concretely fulfilled � �
�
inevitably� � � �
the accelerated � �
chronos of bliss � �
will flash � �
across my horizons � �
at childhood-like
velocities � �
� �
many factors � �
have brought this � �
not-yet experience � �
to be: � �
the lethargy of selfless-ness; � �
heel-draggin patience; � �
psycho-social risk-taking � �
of the highest orders; � �
all these � �
and so much more � �
� �
yet it was Stevie's � �
40 year old Book � �
Talking to ME � �
as if it were
realeased Today � �
that nudged me over � �
the tiny precipice � �
between intent � �
and sealed deal � �
� �
yes � �
his album speaks � �
and covers � �
every geometric� �
space of Love � �
from points A to Z � �
through infinities � �
in-between � �
� �
as a youth � �
I`d open � �
Talking Book`s Gatefold � �
and read �
Wonder-ous � �
lyrical brilliance � �
FEEL it � �
in raised braille symbols � �
dotting over
TAMLA's classic LP cover � �
� �
here in this � �
"21st Century" � �
amidst hundreds of Gigs � �
in both � �
experience � �
and sound-library, � �
somehow a � �
"just-right" musical genome � �
shuffled into Now � �
trumpeting gentle alarms � �
of immediacy � �
singing Spiritual Keys � �
in the Song of Life � �
� �
now that I`ve awaken � �
my lover`s sleep � �
is sure to feel welcome
