We Are All Collectors

We are all collectors;
storing images and sounds
as museums their acquisitions,
and conductors, their array
of scintillating voices….

Some we obtain for profit
and some to simply enjoy--
a lovely face with charming
grace--a lyrical smile
with eyes that beguile--
the roaring wind
stripping trees and 
flattening fields—amazing
how many worlds a heart can
hold--or vanquish in an instant
of rage.

The kingdom is inside of us. All creation, past and present, is within the mind and soul of our being.

There is no greater compliment you can give me. I know nothing...my joy is inspiring others to seek with me, and possible find the answers that confound us all since time immemorial. Blessings my friend.
