Crow Magic from Beyond

Crow's Grace from the Beyond

Lately my days have had much go right
Besides [You], [You're] the only thing
That seems like it will fall apart
You flew so far away I can't catch You

And to each their own
For my future is so bright
There is only room for the joy, after
Remaining in a life lived within the abyss

For the records, are mere memories
The music box locked in the heart
Will remain in the crows cawing
Among meadows of aster flowers

I'll wear the pocket square boutonnière
And bid You do as You do

Desert of Woe
Part the Canto IV
"On Beams of Light"

You and I, We were doing the Yoga asana of the Sun sutra. Our graceful motions having taken Us to a place beyond the pink sunset into your twilight hour of love.

We weren't in that dusty desert anymore where the ground was cracked and the dry bones had cackled. We left there in the flashing glints of our eyes traveling on beams of light. We both stood now facing each other at the heavenly gates; before a grand city of oases on the outskirts.

We didn't need to knock, the great doors opened there for Us already welcomed-- expected. A trickle of water sprang across the glaiden cobbles as a sound that wet our eyes.

Footnote:
I read this to my Dad an hour before he died recently, 2024, promising to come back and read more to him.

Desert of Woe
Part the Canto III
Lost and Found

Then You appeared in between the dunes, the lowering Sun behind You shining in my eyes. Your glowing silhouette facing away from Me, Tsurugi Tenyu in hand. I could make out the shade of your left eye as You said, 'Pick up your dreams.'

I scrambled to grab my water flask, picking up my dusty clothes— I glanced at You walking away and tossed the dead weight down to skip up by your side. I smiled as the setting Sun cast a golden light there inbetween Us. It grew so bright I felt myself being tugged toward it.

We both vanished leaving our tracks in the sands of time into the next breath...

Deeply Romantically Into You

There are messages that move in time for Us. Together we catch them in our eyes and transcribe them with our minds; our hearts beat and tears swell.

We play music and hear
the words deep into our core
We write the songs in the stars
A language that is our own
Always has been
And always will be
The messages of our sky
Light of the morning dawns
Mists of the valley fogs
Listening trees to our footsteps
Two wanderers of the wonders
With belief in our being;
In The
Love Story
of our Hearts
You dance
My drum beat listens
My eyes watch;
When We dance
This boy dreams...

I slipped into the whispering waves, found myself crashing and tumbling... into You.
