I Walked Home Beholding |
The world was frozen |
I left the studio |
Night had fallen |
The storm had cleared |
The whole town had been abandoned except for me |
I walked home beholding |
The lights in the park |
The moving trees |
The silent corners |
The world’s new cloak |
A final breath of storm blows snowdrifts in the street |
Then blows away over the water |
On an island |
Across from town |
Isolated |
Close and alone |
Looking across the water seeing people slowly living all their lives |
This is the feeling from inside an island body |
(Looking out from inside a sea of thoughts, distant and quiet.) |
Tossed on the waves |
Blown onto land |
Grasping meaning |
In churning mess |
A moment of clear air breathing, seeing the expanse |
Totally at peace with the meaninglessness of living |
Drifting in a changing world |
Alone |
Reaching for a solid thing |
In vain |
The stone dissolves in the same wind I swim through |
Where I live there is a constant roaring |
Bottomless absence |
Through a cloud hole |
The sky was moving |
I saw it drift |
Seeing breathing waves of water roll in the sky |
The wind has increased |
