Life Dreams / Lucid Living (c) 2003
Sibilant Stars
I rummage
in the backs of the shelves
of the cupboards
in my mind
My delicate, questing senses
come upon
a
slightly cracked, oval bowl
Abrim with a vivid, dusty
Cornucopia of
Myriad ancient, familiar
high ideals
and mythic, mystic
sibilant wisdom
– We'll have a cup of kindness
with that, oh you who wait, who wait –
(Now, where to
blow this musical dust,
brain encased,
you know, skull ‘n' all?
Wait –
Mind is
unencompassed!)
Careful, I cup the bowl
in respectful, excited, trembling
hands
Turn in space and puff,
puff puff ‘til
Lo! Clarified surfaces
of sparkling gems and brilliance
begin to emerge –
glimmering,
lustrous,
luminous
Exuberant, I offer the bowl
high, high above me,
and swirl, flinging wide and far
Vivid, cascading flecks
that fly as if splashed from
rainbow-dipped brushes,
Land in the endless 3D radiance
of my deep Being's skies,
find their place behind my eyes
and shine,
and shine
And shine forever,
ever there
in the backs of the shelves
of the cupboards
in my mind
My delicate, questing senses
come upon
a
slightly cracked, oval bowl
Abrim with a vivid, dusty
Cornucopia of
Myriad ancient, familiar
high ideals
and mythic, mystic
sibilant wisdom
– We'll have a cup of kindness
with that, oh you who wait, who wait –
(Now, where to
blow this musical dust,
brain encased,
you know, skull ‘n' all?
Wait –
Mind is
unencompassed!)
Careful, I cup the bowl
in respectful, excited, trembling
hands
Turn in space and puff,
puff puff ‘til
Lo! Clarified surfaces
of sparkling gems and brilliance
begin to emerge –
glimmering,
lustrous,
luminous
Exuberant, I offer the bowl
high, high above me,
and swirl, flinging wide and far
Vivid, cascading flecks
that fly as if splashed from
rainbow-dipped brushes,
Land in the endless 3D radiance
of my deep Being's skies,
find their place behind my eyes
and shine,
and shine
And shine forever,
ever there
