gently
     awakening
     half
        dreaming

still

in 
that
no man's
           land
twixt
dream
     &
       reality
eye
wide
     open...
now
   engaged

Inspired by Vivaldi Autumn adagio...

String me a Vivaldi
seasonal song,
Sing me a Mozart
opera..'ere the day long;
Fill my emotions
with Mahler's tears,
Soothe me with Satie
and banish my fears.

Into mine ears,make music please
..begone..farewell..dis-ease...

presto
spinning
       twirling
down
      this
          staircase
              of sound
in the
         round:
quick,
burst forth
        live
escalate
......wait...
...wait
..wait

A place in which to sigh
impressions to recollect
       in lasting retrospect
Colours cry wet-on-wet
images of a sunset.

A valparetto on the sea..
...Vivaldi strings that sing
of Winter & Spring
Summer and Fall on pause..
so many memories to recall...

a fall
        call
Fall 
        calls,
ascending
         higher
             higher,
round and
            found
Fall
        calls
again,
again,
          'til
            night
      falls

alights
         a delight:
unfolds
          a repeat

thoughts
skate 
        slide

         arrive
ideas
        fly..
hearts 
        sigh

a happening in words listening to Vivaldi' seasons 'Spring'...

My two girls you see
did great things for me

Music ,one ,soon did play
through this gift,one day
in my life Vivaldi et al
came to reside,and stay

The other,on a horse did ride
so her equinity I also tried,
 for me,then a hobby,did provide 

Thus my life they have  enhanced
in two instances,by chance...

Vivaldi wrote the Seasons

Botticelli painted La primavera

and I change the screen door

 

Of all the ways in the world

to trace the miracle change of the world

I mark it in the lowliest way

 

They greeted the spring with joy

and the fall with registration

but I, I change the screen door....

Like the alarming abandon
          & disarray of Jackson Pollack,
    equally beguiling disciplined
       skills as in classically baroque 
         airs of Antonio Vivaldi,
   'midst the wonderment and 
          wanderlust of a child,
      I'm awe inspired & unfurled betwixt
          your captivating demeanor...
