Soon the Yucca Will Bloom

Soon the Yucca Will Bloom

Bleak are the days
All have gone away.
Soon the Yucca will Bloom.

The rush, the crush,
The gong reverberating
Bongs into quiet.

Red and green turning
Disappearing into dull of order;
Persons morf into telephones.

And the gong’s last tone is silent.
Colored lights are out.
Soon the Yucca will Bloom.

This has a feeling of peacefulness or solitude to me, as if the quiet rests waiting for the bloom to appear. Really nice Sunlite.
