diving through fluorescent
waves
of the cosmos,
far beyond the stretches
of exploding supernovas,
and collapsing
constellations of black holes,
our glistening
fingers interlace~
seeking solace
in astral weightlessness,
where stars serenade
eternal love…
dandelion sparkles
sprinkles over cupcakes
floating pristine white eight by ten
dazzling snowflakes
light and lively autumn leaves
silk scarf flung into the air
lifting a whisker
glitzy glitter
weightlessness
Beautiful picturesque soft glowing light
against the darkness, whilst burning shooting
star catapult through the sky in its flight.
Spinning fine idyllic thread flow, moving.
In mine heart, I evoke the narrative
wist of our youth. An inexhaustible
love; now lost in the waning sedative
silence of farewell and exhaustible.
Once devoured by his fathomless green eyes,
crave the dark blond hair full of spiral curls.
Lost to his ebbing wave of silent cries
left breathless like flittering glint of pearls.
Birds hymn lull mine into weightlessness sleep;
whilst echoes always brings you back to keep.

Imagine
Floating on your back, eyes
Shut to all but the hush of sunlight
Buoyant to the lightness of being with only
Birds and insects flinging airs at
Ears immersed in the cool tannin
Stained river gently luring
Dreams from nothing
That drifts and clicks away on the current
Gentle with its tugging of thoughts
Caressing ripples from a mirror…
The mind sliding into eddies, swirling
With time - wading patiently, as if stilled
But merely time passes by, like
The dreams of children that are
Never given another thought.
Yet at some point your dreams
Detach from reality
Loosen from the viscous pull of the river
And wander the murky depths
Lost in a city of streams where
Time and the surrounds are
Abundantly clear behind eyelids
Fat with circadian rhythms
Surpassing your dreams in tones of
Wild wilderness - oblivious
Drifting along in a realm of silence,
Balanced by the weightlessness ~
Of harmony
A poem by Mark Trichet
21 June 2015
I'm not fat, but not thin
Imagine being weightless
and just float around
***
Do not be concerned about what
you are weighing
be happy that you have
both feet planted on the ground
