City Squares
City Squares
Claustrophobic city squares
Shadows through lanes
illuminated by cold filtered light
Antique like heads of marbled stone
Conjure up the past
Dreadful voids transformed
in warm lit beauty of the day
caught between the surreal
and concrete demands of day
Faceless figures of faceless masses
enthroned puppets without strings
dance the dance of shadows
we stood on the threshold of our dreams
Opening streams beyond melancholy
within the void and interplay of form and time
pure in its nature of itself stoic and so free
beyond these painted words
that sings on tinted page
Secrets primal in their meanings
beneath the elements of appearance
come to life in the awareness
of its spontaneity
