In time
22-23 February 2015
The river bank swelled
Charged with rushing brown waters
That had stirred Earth’s guts
An illogical stirring
In me reverberated
Deltas formed ashore
Triangles of water coursed
Through light seeping sand
Like ink etching through mind’s slate
A landscape of memories
Trees roots uncovered
Shook unwillingly off earth
That onward slid fast
Moving perspectives thus flow
Within a mind uprooted
The wind blew howling
Sand that pranced like dancing flames
With madman’s fervour
Elementary madness
Rushing through my frame reached heights
The sky glowed and snarled
Alternating light and dark
Different yet same
Change immemorial in me
Reflected alternate shades
The horizon lurked
A backdrop to whirling times
In nature’s power
With no reigns in mind I slept
Through wars that raged in no name
Leaves raced through dark skies
Tossing and turning in fright
Shivering green sparks
Ideas quivered in thoughts
As eyelids stayed firmly shut
In skies formed patterns
Mathematical whirling
Of earthly matters
My mind then awakening
In time echoed in spirals
