repeated 
         sounds amplify,
       syncopate
unveil
marshal
    the subconscious
into
      surreal
         simplicity
of
 assonance
        and rhyme...

To count, uphold the beauty of the form,
Or to depart, defying honored norms?
To contact ground with regular impacts
Or syncopate one's way off beaten tracks.
The bard, in famed soliloquy, departs;
To be, or not to be constrained, these arts?
For I am bickered, battered, torn and worse:
A muse abused or joyful freed in verse?...

When grass dances
In the singing winds
To the syncopate melody
Upon the tree of joyous lark;
The envious rose flower
Fresh lets its bright petals
To the ground far beneath fall
In protest to the conspiracy
And wonder of awesome nature.


When green grass dances
To the purple singing birds
Sinking into the waning sun
So does too the wind sway
Like the conductor of orchestra
In such beauty behold
All sorrow is far gone
Ever with the wind
Never again to come....

Heart beats
  chest breathes
    diaphragms expand
      eyelashes blink
        muscles stretch
          mind thinks ;

cartilage contracts
   glands swell
    lips quiver
     sinew syncopate
      skin, spine, senses shudder
       tongue tastes
         ears echo and resound

bones break
   bodies bleed
      breasts ache;

life begins
  living is short
    time is long 
live it well
     existence is
     everything
that matters.....
