INTERLUDE
By Leon Enriquez


By light of grace
Soul knows sure place
In time and space
Where echoes trace


Here for a while
Learn then to style
Poise that thus smiles
As grief greets wiles

~~~~~~~~


Show up with poise
As inner voice
Leaps above noise
Beyond fate’s choice


See that you see
What yet hurls spree
Of what may be 
True conscious free

~~~~~~~~~


Come let us go
To sacred shores
Discern yet more 
Deep placid core


What might have been
The way within
Is yet unseen
Both out and in

~~~~~~~~~


The way without
A roundabout
Where screams and shouts
Frame empty bout


Joy knows sorrow 
That feels hollow
Glimpse not follow
Sight’s blind morrow

~~~~~~~~~


Logic is blind
Where reason binds
Vain mind that finds
An empty grind


The way upwards
Or else downwards
Goes then backwards
Ere way forward

~~~~~~~~~


Each thought attracts
Or else distracts
Both tact and fact
Prompts how we act


Unleash the pain
That holds old reins
In mad restrain
That cuts blood veins 

~~~~~~~~~


Know that you know
Much more than show
Through fast and slow
Where anguish grows


Worry seems vain
In matters plain
Where hurts thus gain
Such vile refrains

~~~~~~~~~


Do all you can
To hitch your plans
With what you scan
In wordplay stand


Glimpse in deep light
That vivid sight
Feel that moves right
In darkness bright

~~~~~~~~~


Purge all thoughts crude
When truth strips nude
More kind than rude
Calm interlude


Go on your way
To pray and play
With words that stay
Your cosmic ray

~~~~~~~~~


Love calls in time
To heed deep chimes
Where hope strings rhymes
As faith moves mimes


Listen well here
To discern cheer
That draws you near
To all things dear

~~~~~~~~~


Match thus goodwill
As mystic thrill
Comes forth with feel
To bless and heal


The path you take
Is why you make
What how now breaks
More true than fake

~~~~~~~~~


Be kind to each
As lessons teach
You how to reach
The why you preach


In due season
Deep feel reasons
Touch and treason
Love’s bright beacon

~~~~~~~~~


Stillness blooms still
The subtle feel
In strange appeal
A profound will


The way you see
Frames what may be
Tale and story
From memory

~~~~~~~~~


Better to fail
And yet prevail
To ride the gale
As you set sail


Be of sound mind
As heart now binds
Soul flame you find
In mystic signs

~~~~~~~~~


Choice knows true flow
As poise charms glow
Where voice does show
Good cheer you know


Start and end here
With lavish cheer
End and start steer
Love held most dear

~~~~~~~~~
