'round Sunrise

lost moments 
years gone by
at a cheetah's
pace

a wanderer of
the heart and 
soul; the mileage
piled up as gathered
leaves

each leaf an 
experience of
either certainty
or confusion
twists and turns
this sounds like
jazz

and it be with a
a blues expression
when the body is
awakened to the 
soul's purpose of 
itsef as a spirit
the mind is 
plunged into 
remembrance
the certainties
and the confusions
tumbling down 
the cheeks 
the thunderous
sounds; of drums
and assumptions
of trumpets and
fears; as the scroll
unfolds

what message this
be?  in silence sitting
with empty hands
full heart intact soul
awaiting a new spring
fresh leaves bright skies
a pleasant stream of 
light all 'round sunrise
