I Find My Life Finding Me
Here, I emerge endlessly in the sands of time
as living day does not yet fade, nor stray dark
I find myself apart,
separated from subdued senses
selflessly soaking up what surrounds me.
Like the tamed breeze I feel conceived
of what passed my feet just a slight breath ago,
like slow melting snow at the foots of hills
while the cricket’s hum spills as deep blue fills the air
I am more aware of what moves and moves me.
Streetlamps now aglow, perched above shrubs grown
as light alone turns my skin shimmering gold
like stories around fire told, dancing the bold night
dark shadows mould below my hovered hands
and shape my write of path across these sands.
Just an impression imprinted as it is erased,
changed forever are these passing days breathed
and intrigue releases the new breath that breathes me.
The swaying tops of trees have caught my eye
while night’s tears of the sky cries stars still
these glittered shapes fill where clouds hung high
I feel the lie that lives away from this grace
drawn closer to this infinite, intense space.
Even as I smoke my burning cigarette,
admire the grey haze breathed away
not a day goes by that I don’t question your all,
where I don’t fall through the taunt layers of time
like an old copper dime spun heads or tails
a choice, at the crossroads of trails walked blind
here, I find my life finding me...
just a moment I lived in this moment...
a mind freed.
