Galvanized Lucidity

Rain, you visit in times of pablum

when the heart has puddled and I am three

both murk and water

un-spectacled Brahman

 

Winter you descend as words incarnate

collaged and poor

as all journeys begin

so all journeys end

Sun of spring I am soothed by your

remnants lucidity 

a sedantary

but come this knowledge within 

come all knowledge without

Slow you visit in color’s iris pulp

both carnage and zen bottle 

I ask for time and you walk away 

I ask for love and your hands descend until the 

quiver is clean and all tyranny has the face of a mirror

Oh, my friend. I am wrapping these words about my shoulders. I feel their truth resonating in my own life - no surprise there, I'm sure.

Rain, winter, sun of Spring, and color. What a stunning progression through seasons of nature and seasons of life.

You capture yearning and how hard it is when answers are slow or they seem to walk away altogether.

Your ending with a mirrored surface is so appropriate since we always need to self-reflect, in all that implies. You spun a thread to Khalil Gibran for me in that quiver. Remind me to share that with you.

"Puddled" and "soothed" it's all about the verbs, baby! Also, "collaged" describing "words incarnate" is perhaps my favorite word choice.

I love your voice. It flaps in the night like a majestic chiweenie of the wild bent to the geometry of the universe.

See, my nature is to respond as the ground responds to fresh rain, but I did not reply because a Mona Lisa smiles alone; this review is precisely that. Now the hours and days have passed and I know such words to fill that emptiness of response between, but why? Why? There is no demand other than a depth of gratitude and a toss of frisbee left for me to do, and of course, there is a war left to start. Prepare the army General, my words will soon arrive...hahaha Thank you for this Jo! Beautiful!!

I honestly loved it, and I'm looking forward to more words from you.

Likewise! It is why we’re here after all!
Thanks again Jo, will be by soon to feel “humblinated”:)
