Sustain

Last night I dreamed that when I’m gone
My spirit changes to a tone
That harmonizes with the key
Of everything composed to be
Components of the cosmic score
To resonate forevermore.

Bad Light

The scenery is yellow ‘neath the glow
From sentinels installed along the path
That arch their slender frames up to bestow
Some splashes for those seeking such a bath

While others more inclined to view the stars
Are better off avoiding any pools
Created by the structures of the czars
Who use security to swindle fools.

Luminary

The moon meandered meekly through the night
As clouds were there to keep it’s light subdued
They puffed themselves up, ready for a fight--
Why must those somewhat dimmer be so rude?

The smell of rain on pavement fills the air
Like summer if it somehow could be canned
And while I’m laying low within my lair
Each glimpse of moonlight helps me understand

That darkness only matters to the eye
That sees itself above all things
Oblivious to those who radiate
A glow that overcomes all hate;
An indisputable spark that springs
From deep within, to span the sky.
