Disturbed Moment

DISTURBED MOMENT In this sudden moment I’ve a simple wish to walk about spreading love everywhere Oh, the thought seems so...bright, so…sunny Yet – and I cast this flash aside – A thought in isolation is thought without foundation I’m taking the best minutes of a long day, Have gathered round imagination a peaceful sort of garden…or…or forest in my idyll And I a sturdy tree standing high, quite singular, With the emerald leaf-people spread all about me, They and my eyes dancing to a single, sweet violin My white cat sitting at the kitchen window, oblivious, adds shapeless, benign geometry to the mix And the footloose vision might progress, But the intense quiet rushes, breezily, inside my head – (those invisible specs of original creation, whirling impishly, become noisy) Now a car horn And my ecstatic inner vision gone to reality Why can’t the jealous world leave us lovers alone?
