shadow of the birdhouse

warm the day but that is no surprise
sharp clear the light almost to tears
i sit and think and rub my reddened eyes
wondering if it was worth all the years
look now the purple of the autumn bloom
for still and bright as crystal is the air
the illumated moment in this room
makes all that's past seem almost fair
what happened to the day i do not know
my body answers like a sluggish thing
the music's like a river in full flow
solemn yet sparkling with a future spring
let all that's true be beautiful for now
and all that's honest then let us allow

education

i look at fragments that once were thought
energy turned from mass to ideation
i wonder by what pathways these were brought
from chaos and old night into creation
the act of thinking makes a man a god
but he leaps backward fearful of the power
declares some fear of an avenging rod
or thinks that it is never quite the hour
a woman thinks decides and then enacts
without the fright that comes from the divine
here are my thoughts here are the flat facts
they're all included here in the outline
the power to do all this is we assume
what nature gives us till we reach the tomb

Oh dear me.
