SACRED  UNSEEN  LOST  (5-23-03, salt marsh road, far East end of Galveston Island, Texas)

 

setting amber sun  
slowly sinks  
over salt marsh  
landscapes horizon  
illumining all  
with golden light  
each bladed grass  
every fine fibered  
radiant plants  
filigreed wonder  
of nature  
lit up with life  
in delicate auras  
silent dance  
of angelic filaments  
soft halos aglow  
i pause  
to stop  
my bike  
to look  to feel  
to sense  
to listen closely  
as creation  
intricately sings  
so sublimely  
everywhere  
all around me  
and everywhere  
beyond  
its high frequency  
vibrational  
divine  crystalline  
ever unfolding  
eternally flowing  
song  
of sacred constancy  
through ever evolving  
ever changing  
manifesting  
myriad forms  
from the infinitey  
expanding  
multiverse of all  
down to  
and beyond  
even the smallest  
of visibly detectable  
things here  
until suddenly  
im snatched away  
from the rich  
inner depths  
of my mystically  
entranced  
elemental fusions  
intimately  
connected  
consciously awakened  
sweet    
visionary spell  
when sudenly  
a massive helicopter  
appears  
as if  
seemingly from  
out of  
nowhere  
flying by low  
obscenely loud  
not far overhead  
violently chopping  
the sky  
and airs  
previously peaceful  
quietude  
and increasingly rare  
near pristine  
natural harmony  
into so many  
grotesquely butchered  
pieces  
of unconscionably  
broken  
soulessly slaughtered  
serenity  
which only moments  
before  
had so effortlessly  
so naturally  
prevailed  
and held  
the timeless  
spirit of place here  
over these usually  
more tranquil  
broad  open miles  
of remote  coastal  
salt water  
marshlands  
which skirt  
their silent grace  
all along  
this great  
vast    
living gulfs  
tightly hugged  
epic lengths  
of wave and weather  
sculpted beaches  
whose previously  
inviolate  
intrinsically reflective  
restorative    
healing environment  
of calm  
zen like peace  
now so grossly  
defiled  
its magical essence  
so blatantly  
spoiled  
by that which i  
so deeply despise  
enough  
too much  
to bear  
in heart sickening  
contrast to  
that which i  
came here for  
and needed most  
today  
so abruptly  
destructively  
taken away  
by such a darkly  
offensive  
invasively intrusive  
violation  
against natures  
increasingly endangered  
teetering  
delicate balance  
of natural beauty  
interconnected  
harmony  
within the sacred  
oneness  
of all that is  
which presently seems  
so truly  
and tragically  
to be  
now more  
than ever  
at least  
in the mostly  
disconnected  
overwhelmingly  
seperated  
lower consciousness  
historical minds  
and self destructive  
free will  
hands  
of man  
to be so  
very near now  
here at this  
fully  
unravelling  
threadbare    
frayed edge  
this potential  
final end  
of it  
of us all  
of everything  
else  
as well  
so hopelessly  
heartlessly  
forgotten  
so irretrievably  
soullessly  
lost
