Live in tomorrow today
24 February 2015
Moon high in sky shone
Semblance of a sun nearby
Where horizons touched
The sky limitless caressed
The greys where twilight spied dawn
Trees swayed in motion
Of dancing flames of thicket
Alit from own sparks
Thoughts alive with inner fire
Took elation to new heights
Cool dawn stood icy
Its gait taking in landscape
That suddenly quaked
A tremor passed through my mind
That to frozen stillness moved
Orange fruit shrivelled
Clung to stem that heaved with sighs
For loss of colour
Lips drained of pink happiness
Voiced inner concerns that raced
Dead daffodils shrank
From their own fleeting bodies
As their souls rose white
Will this red to white relay?
Asked a lost vein in my throat
Roses bloomed listless
Their inner softness alive
With oncoming death
I warned as reaper hissed on
Hark now soul think of today
The rooster crowed on
Lovers’ confusion had it
Waking night and day
As day awakes to the night
While sleep comes in waking day
Huon pines’ answers
Reverberated through time
In rings of thousands
Ten thousand years I had lived
In wait of source renewal
A breeze brought silence
In uproar of change to come
As day merged in night
Live in tomorrow today
In peace of would be morrows
