Upon
closer inspection
the little things
aren't so little
and the larger so grand.
Throwing darts of attention
I bulls eye
center
Noticing
we are eyes of awareness noticing
a presence of someone
filling in the dots
(but I can't say who)
There's a soul
with an umbilical cord
being bathed
like an egg
under pure water stream,
growing.
There's a feeling
of pleasure and self condemnation,
mingling,
and a story is born …
Rush in winds of time
like four angels riding horses.
My sister soul,
her face lights up
like a light bulb,
…then flickers doubt.
Big skyscraper scratches sky.
Cat claw.
Clouds escape under thunder.
Earthworms dig.
A chameleon wearing plaid
crawls slug-like on a window
stealing attention
like a thief.
And outside the garden
lion stalks,
like a God unseen,
sinners on the run
in quicksand on a humid day
who confuse prayer
with just asking for stuff,
...wanting and wishing
grasping and
twisting...
dreaming, dreaming, dreaming.
And I wonder
who can make true
the wishes of a dreamer
clutching dream treasure
upon awakening.
