the universe
faded memory of his mother
fragment of beauty and enlightenment
cut short
when she stood by the window
lulled from meditation
❖
the universe will provide
a boy
the love phoenix
awoken from ashen shell
a handsome jester
with worrier mind and guardian soul
the adorable cub destined to break hearts
the universe will provide
a beautiful daughter with sun-shaped heart
unwaning exuberance
she burns for life
an angel fallen from inner space
a miracle beyond uterine stars
the universe will provide
a hulk
broken shadow of a poet
the prodigal husband and father
who promised to love and cherish
the trodden earth beneath elven feet
the universe will provide
a goddess and queen bee
loyal friend and loving mother
absolute superpower to his realm
atomic number forty-six
most rare of the precious
beyond the will to belong and posses
he is a moth
she is the moon

Jesus Christ this is gorgeous.
I keep trying to come up with something to say, but that’s all I have.
It hurts it’s so good. And I know that sounds ridiculous. But I said what I said. Well done.

Thank you... I started writing this a couple of years ago... I thought it was finished, but kinda lost the moment... it took a while to find the right words.

Dear AC,
Beautiful homage to family. Very interesting refrain between verses, your format is direct and says so much in such brevity. Lovely write. H🌷

Hello Honoria, thanks for sharing your thoughts... there's not too much consideration put into the structure, I let the reading dictate where the refrains lie... definitely more thought in the words... and my edits can be brutal, hence the brevity. Thanks again for your feedback.

about as poignant a reading (listening and viewing) experience I have had here. just beautifully touching and soulful, - a lease of fresh air at last. i would talk about standards to be met, to reach for but all that goes out of the window.

Sounds like your whole world in this piece and is that in your video. Lovely to see the bond so strong in your universe and a beautiful thing it is. :)

Thank you, Magdalena... this is as real as my universe gets in my creative space... seriously, no pun intended.

I love the depth of journey this holds, it feels like a lifetime of experience in reflection, distilled down to the pinpoints of meaning, oscillating about the yin yang other in reciprocity. Your video is gorgeous. Always such a pleasure Alexander. Thank you for being here.

Thank you, Daniel. So cool you picked up the yin and yang... because I didn't, but it such an intricate part of my life... and everybody's circle of life.
