beams of light penetrate
threw the curtains
onto the rug
of our life
dust floats in light
a warm sunny day
outside children play
cool air from the vent
air that is conditioned
a closed window
prevents the curtains
from moving or swaying
wonder down the road
concrete crumbles
faded yellow lines
marking the center
a destination unknown
no lane to pass
up ahead a fork
one ponders the way
an urgent decision
where will it lead
no cars come
no reason to thumb
for a ride
down the road
full moon hangs high
shadows cast in darkness
hear the howling
the insane become sparked
up in the sky
no clouds block light
round is the rock
one with a telescope
watches a cratered surface
that holds little gravity
a colony is coming
where one can stand
and look up at the earth
a dusty old book
faded lines of ink
a printed antique
telling tales of yesterday
one torn spine
written by an ancient one
the story almost biblical
some words unknown
spoken decades long past
a tale made from fiction
although not science
two hands that tremble
while they hold
a dusty old book
high in the heavens
loudly the thunder roars
flashes of light in the sky
slowly water falls down
small drops become larger
all dirt becomes mud
quenching the thirst of earth
umbrellas opened by the wise ones
seeking to stay dry
after showers bloom flowers
swollen are the rivers
all must become dry
as the grass becomes green
all after the storm
the pick plucks the strings
the noise becomes language
perplexed by the mind only
one rhythm with words
jungle beats move all feet
the speakers magnify
the puzzle of melodies
ears that hallucinate
many instruments connect
bodies shake and tremble
the bass rumbles
one voice rings out loud
some call the lead
a thousand notes plucked
become one guitar solo
the noise paints a picture
only the ears can see
the mask cloaks
the faces that speak words
to unveil the awesome
titans that soothe pain
the ivory pinpoints
the skulls chatter
an exchange of wanting
pieces of broken mirrors
ivory black blood dripping
rivers running wild
body parts
float like boats
body parts removed
by men with silver tools
men embodied by evil
