Collective Experience

A swarming mass proceeds
Collective in hognail energy
Behind the fog of windshields and sound
History circles around the growth pattern

In this stage called life
Fate and choice mingle
The rhinoceros and the unicorn
Irresistible force of casino games played
The mass narrative of change holds sway

Yet crawling underneath
A spiritual force at my feet
Cast aside, though never drowning
From another moon, another dream
Dawn picks up the air of the day

Signals reside through flapping wings
We will meet ourselves again
On a cold afternoon day
Complete yet still surging from dreams
Reeling towards the sun
