for a moment
I breathe in the blue depths of peace
as peacock colored fountains merge
in my inner eye with a light
and I see what is sent
from some angels song on high


only to be brought back
to hear all the destractions of life
pinging me left and right
echoes of what’s outside
spam callers who try and try
to do some damage if they can


and I sigh that sigh


what is lasting
what survives
and how we the way we wade through
all the little details of time


if I am the fields of infinite space
the blue of peace embraced
the shades of the suns golden face
disguised in the robes of a monk
by a hermit in a hidden cave
an ancient dream misplaced


to laugh
and try to deal with grace
all the strange details of living
here in time and space


so I honor the sacred breath of life
the colors that dress my mind
and feed the hungry soul of mine
with edges cut from heavens light


and I honor those who understand
how we must live with hope
and do the best we can
and support the dreams
and how we achieve and see
the good of our fellow humans


and I surrender and laugh
and what we create
and how we smile and get by
even though I’d rather hide
there is some respect in how we survive
with all the little details of being alive
