Untitled rising and setting suns in still motion
..
1st Horizon:
Yang
Hoary foam
Pours in
Churning crests
Across the
Dune
Sea
White shells
Reside
In red
Sands
The fisherman’s arm
Arcs
Back
Then forward
Pole following
Line
Dives
Into waters
Spring is gently
Birthing in
Warm morning
Light
The surf is
Chill
In winter’s
Still
Memory
The waves
Are not
Moving
Photons are traveling
Across
Charged
Particles
Recognition
Is in motion
A family forms a
Square
Gently
Batting a volleyball
Between them
Fisherman’s
Planted
Pole
Draws a vertical
Line
Across the
Blue
Horizon
On roiling
Seas
Distant ships appear
Stationary
Another
Trio
Lounge on
Beach
Chairs
Listening to
Marley
Rippling
Banners trailing behind
Seaplanes
Seem
To stand in
Place
It is neither
Banner
Nor
Wind
But
Consciousness
In motion
A child gathers
Wet sand
Into a bucket
Surprisingly
Heavy for his
Small arm
Which drags
Awkwardly
Behind
Dumped
Sluggishly
Upon his feet
Which he
Buries and
Studies
Curiously
Perhaps wondering
Where earth
Ends
And he
Begins
Fisherman pulls a
Shining
Fish
From
Shimmering
Waters
Wrestles the hook
From its mouth
And places it
In a covered
Pail
I
Observe in
Lotus
Try to see the
Unseen
Hear the
Unheard
I am infused with
Breath and
Light
Shadows of a
Wind
Blown
Pennant
Fall
Over me
An infant
Tugs
With irritation
At a bright
White
Bonnet
Tied to
Shade her
Tender
Flesh
Wrapped
In mother’s arms
The laughing of seagulls
Is not
Diminished
As a fish
Starved of
Breath and
Light
Thrashes and
Falls
Still
All
I
See
Is sacred
Geometry
And amidst
Everything
We
Are the true
Scene
And all I see
Is the sun
Rising
In still motion
..
2nd Horizon:
Yin
Emcee takes the stage
As the evening’s open mic
Commences
In rounds of
Silence
Pause and
Applause
Couple of
Poetry pimps
Likely working the
Local
Circuit
Recite with
Practiced
Guile
Eyes glide
Across those
Gathered
Worshipping their
Reflection
Couple of awkward
Bookish types
Reading
Concisely penned
Lines
From printed
Sheets
Without meter or
Evoking
Genuine
Feeling
Edgy kid
Vents the
Stigma surrounding
Homosexuality
With pain’s
Passion
Moves me
Close my eyes
Soak in the
Dark
Which
Swells
In the open
Air
Profaned
Prophets
Perch
Upon
Each
Shoulder
One speaks of the
Madness
Of pain
The other of its
Ecstasy
And though
These
Are the same
Message
Gathered
Upon sheaves
Are held in
Divisive
Contention
And the spirit
Is lost
My name is called
I recite
Untitled pointing to nothing
From memory
Whispering
Each
Other line
And flow somewhere
Between
With emotive, peaceful
Measure
The evening continues
A young lady of
Dusky hue
Reads from
Memory
Eyes closed
Beatifically
In a
Lovely
Oval face
And all I see
Is the sun
Setting
In still motion
And all I hear is holy
