The anniversary… the birth… the beginning… the recurrent knight mare… dream… the occasion of the regularly occurring time… a dance… for a dancer…a song for a singer… some music for the musician… a few words for the writer… a stroke for the artist… a gentle reminder for the lost that they will be found when they least expect to be… a positive reaction to the negative situation… a light in the darkness burns… and once the candle is lit… they are the pioneers once more… of the joy filled sound… the seeds shall be thrown… and where they land… only the heavens know… and the reasons why and what for are what they are… but reason is not complete… and the complete truth we will never know until we cross into the next life… sow the seeds together and let the how longs be put to rest… slap at the hands that reach out to hold yours… ignore the present… and in time their will be only that witch was… it is not from ignorance that shy people remain shy… it is from failed experiments… when the good ones are gone we are left with the best of what is left… unless we go after those that slipped off… and we need to find them once more… find them in the darkness with the light they gave to us… for it is a beacon knot only to light the path in front… it will light the path to the one who sparked the magic to life in the very first place… you need only remind yourself of them… it was never about me… it was in all ways about the connection of others to the magic that dwells within them… to light the fire… bring the match that sparks the kindling they harbor within… wet leaves can be engulfed in the heat if one possesses the fire that will first dry and then consume… a specific heat for each weary traveler… the lost soul searches… the artist paints… the writer writes… the love rekindled… the soul sparked… and what was lost was found… does it have to make sense… of can we skip that recipe and go write to the art… write to the core of what makes the reality a dream… to the center of what brings a fantasy to life… an orchestral arrangement makes the words more powerful… more interesting to the ears… but true words can be spoken as well as being backed by a symphony…
The song remains the same… until it is altered… alterations can be in words… tempo… key… they can be by design or by impatience… the like of one… pushed to the fore front over the need of another… the often left to the imagination of the less… comparisons have nothing in common… in time we find the one who matches our one… the twists of life’s threads make its an eventuality… the process of nature providing the perfect fit… if we are only wise enough to know… if we are only fortunate enough to be the same… to be in the state of being alive when they are alive in our present… so much of life is lived with the blinders on… in a state of certainty… blind to the world… hiding behind the fortress us… building the wall… comparing what we have with what others have and making the numbers pile in one direction or another… nothing is worth comparisons…when one does so they injure the relationship they have deeply… for they can never justify the reasons for the comparison… the world is an illusion… if let be… it clouds and leaves us in confusion… I place I enjoy for its less they clarity… I like to add a bit of something to each person’s view… I wonder what is behind the image of the eyes so clear and shimmering… the tip of ones tongue… the glance over… the shy turn of one’s head… all relationship plays… and the play moves on… and further on down the road we go… the more likely we are to find another one who really wished we could… another wasted day trapped in looking for meaning in another’s actions… bad ends to bad steps… the wall is confusion… look for meaning some place else…
Older now I am… wasted a lot along the way… some of it productive wasted… some it non-productive wasting along the way… the water and summer heat tended to bring out the youth filled dancers… the ones who desired the festival of delights that could be imagined just over the dune in the sands of time… so much of life is taking the turns… making the cross roads… going over and under the bridges in just the write sequence… and when it is time… let the waters carry us… let us drift away…
The records play… the music… my music… the notes of me… pass on what I have learned… I sit with head phones on lost in the embrace of the musical abandoned… I sing out in an endless cascade of instruments… knot one can hold me… knot one completely defines me… even as the art takes on the instrument as being one… it does not completely define the who of me… I am more… even in the depths of the best trance of artistic wonder… I am more…for the dancer… for the endless child… for the art of fingers painting… for the love of words written and described… for the meaning behind and before… for the meaning after… for each day… for dawn… for dusk… for the joy of awakening… of falling into slumber… for the wonder of a shared lust… the music is part of all that…
I am looking for that one word that will inspire a sudden and complete flood of the intangible thoughts that are running wild within my mind… a rash decision made even more… a desire that comes to settle in… a passion that filters into the magic shared and lingers as a scent on the wind… the music climbs… higher and higher still… I can knot stop it nor will I attempt to end its combination with the notes of others exchanged willingly…
Until the music stops… by its own chord…
