wild flowers in the meadow

Oh hermit!
Know that there
is no redundancy 
contours of form
enabling acoustics 
to prismatically amplify
the music divine
reverberating within
the spacial heart

Accompanied by cutlery

hit ceramic soprano 'tinks'

Operatic hot sudsy path to stardom love ballad 

 
Tears drip dramatically

tap's hydrating heart sinks

Acoustics of kitchen,  false impression of talent...

a pivotal point
that crucial moment
when all is clear

the fog dissipates
like fine crystal
all is transparent

the lucidity is astounding
the awareness, sharp
the acoustics, deafening

a pivotal point
when I realize
the depth of it all...

What great impact the Beatles had on popular music
Their influence on the pop scene reflected our moral fabric
The killing of John Lennon in 1980
Caused such grief, this horrific tragedy
Here's my salute to the Fab Four for providing such unparalleled acoustics...

It began with acoustics
The heart started to strum
A season designed for recluses
To play their autumn songs.

Fathered green and rustling
The last trembling leaf falls
Adding to the emotion
Of sounds born out of trees.

Nature plays with music
Swallowing the vine and breath
Reds and browns colliding
Into a crescendo of fresh soil....

               static veins pulsate


                        almighty broadcasts

when intelligent elephant 
eloquent and irrelevant
elegant face from front

came across acoustics
were in latest statistics
critics went ballistics

were many bumble bees
would hum while being in trees
had prepared for big freeze 

when tiny target
bill continue to charge it
had to enlarge it

when we played the part
will start heading to WalMart
had sold a poison dart...

Building your space,
you were dying daily
invading the acoustics.

How the continence
was going to help-
living with scars of explosions ?

Mutating into a full-fledged
saintliners, an inner conflict
becomes a profile.

Crawling to a stone
a crayon draws a cell
without incendiary rhetoric ?

Decoding an icon
becomes a daily ritual. From
where will come the write ?

Harps cling to clicking castanets, swinging Latino takes a flip.
Acoustics aspire delirium, you treat me like Salsa and shake a hip.
Rainbow across the sky appears, six years become a sixty more.
Saccharine sweetens with your friendship, with good times together spent galore.
Having iced tea on lemon grass; watching your graceful dancing flair
A rickety chair sways my aged bones, finally should I lay my soul bare....

Press of one button
Hear of the sounds
Mood changes
I feel better now
Melodic high
It gives me joy
It soothes my soul
It gives me hope
Turn it up loud
Turn it up louder
Bass thumps
I just want to scream from all the excitement
I don't want to be angry
Give me the mic
I just want to sing
Tempos
Tunes
Acoustics
Freeplay
Beats
Movement
At times I'll just let it play
Don't have to think
I love & appreciate
The sound of music...

Acoustics in this bistro
the thing you cannot see
how neighbour’s voices carry
that murmur in the background
what gives vibe to the place
its unique ambiance
the height of ceilings
the material voices bounce off
like the cavernous echo of rock
or cozy hush of brick
the secret je ne sais quoi
that hooks you and
keeps you coming back
acoustics so often overlooked

When Christ was born
when souls were saved
is it that date
I meditate!

A trampoline  of hesitate
all up and down
acoustics rate
consumerism runs irate!

The children whisper
"don't be late"
It's still the please zone
in rebate!

As rhyme to rhyme
configurate
the need for joy within
ones state!

So sorry, I commiserate
go out and just 
do celebrate
we're fools for action's remonstrate!

and still commune . . . . and complicate!...

I constrict and recoil from the bitterly cold wind
The sun so bright it hurts through the clear sky
Soft melancholy music bounces from the perfect acoustics
And I drink my despair ravenously as I cry
My winter's pain is almost too much today
Profound sadness shoves me violently, 
tearing my old sweater
scuffing my worn shoes
I mutter some passive nonsense to myself
Hoping tomorrow it will all go away
Hoping tomorrow I'll find someone besides
me to accuse...

Maimed, tortured for love of resistance
this night appears to be
without an end.
There was nothing to lose,
it was looking for some reason
to die on the side of a cloud
when the sickle moon was sailing.

Tomorrow a new lie will be born.
Even a suicide bomber
will be tossed around,
like a new coin.
Weaving a dress of skin and bones
in the little sky of so many
purple birds.

Acoustics are not working
walls have no doors.
By night only a torch will be moving....

Music measures four dimensions
and speaks to one who has
quietly relieved his tensions
appreciating jazz.

The heroes who abandoned thrones
search for rhythms in the dark
and, lost among the undertones,
beauty is a wandering spark.

Moaning from her rigid lips
to get what she deserves,
monotonous, the drummer grips
the trigger in her nerves.

With acoustics seeking shelter,
she's seen too much too soon,
and a melody could melt her
but jazz abstracts the tune....

A cold winter’s end 
    sunshine a taste of honey
       a woodpecker perched
      amidst a serene moment 
       his acoustics amplified 

         an osprey takes flight 
       with olympic precision 
              over still waters
 with a lightening quick splash 
        emerges with his dinner

         with freedom—birds soar 
        musings of worry —absent 
            with but one mission
         as God intended for them
 daily spread their wings and soar...
