Static Blue

What wildness grows within?
And all the while
I learn myself to be a static blue
Freedom in front
And peace below.

I find myself listening to the words people use--mind you,
I am a lonely passenger on this voyage--I am deeply human
Climbing about vines and landing on overwhelming landscapes--
So I do my best to slow
     
     time
      
             down

Living one step at a time
Proclaiming peace with a bowed head.
