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?
