Turning it on
Isn't it transparent how the water always looks the same - life is wet! Still, the tap (US faucet) gets stuck at times tight, stiff, trapped a spanner (US wrench) may be required for the loosening But once it flows again it flows again, until the return of the indifferent drought Some days a mere trickle - barely enough to keep a body alive - other times,...

While some may argue that it is more radical than spiritual, I respectfully disagree.

Turning with the Days Form: Tail Rhyme (AABCCB) Gate 1 of “The Living Voice: The Moon Phases” I. The crescent wanes, then waxes wide, As shadows stretch across the tide. The stars begin their hush.

turning gray
As I Turn Gray As I turn gray, the music fades, Melodies lost in the echo of days. Consciousness swarms me, a ceaseless tide, Drowning in thoughts I cannot hide. The colors blur, once vivid, now pale, Chained by shame—too weak to prevail. Neither to move, nor to flee, Trapped in time, a ghost of me. Yesterday lingers, tomorrow looms, Regret and doubt fill hollowed...

The Turning Stones
i hold three magic rocks in my hand rolling them over and over and over their edges whisper secrets soft and grand pulling me under like a silver river the world i know dissolves in mist each turn a door, each touch a key the winds hum low, the stars persist in songs of fate and mystery shadows stretch and shimmer bright golden echoes...
