Echoes in the Night Winds
Nice, neat… to a steady beat
with
Unrehearsed meter and verse,
Running back and forth in forward and reverse,
like clock words and earthworks
With word trains leading out of your mind-station
Stuck on course the rising pulse of love being made
Until that magic moment reaching a crescendo
Right there (yes) and holding on to it
just as long as you can
knowing you are going somewhere new
each time getting your mind
body, spirit overhauled
As you are being worked over
sensuality squared
consistently being, push pulled
out there led
Further beyond
followed into the back roads of your mindscape
one characteristic after another
Standing up, walking out the door
Blending Time/Space
And memories out further into eternity
With the night air flowing past body and mind Wrapped up in
Gentle flowing streams of cosmic echoes
Moving moods and melodies, our hearts pounding Drum together, winding us around one another
Rhythmically bending time
As if Mr. Punctuality meets Ms. Virtuosity,
Getting lucky on that first date
Because both of us feel that that’s the way
That it should always be laying tracks
In symphonies
Of mental notes leaving trails
i liken to the moods
In the mold of Jimi Hendrix and John Coltrane
A lonely saxophone wails. A Stratocaster screams
Soul rendering notes weaving back and forth
With the Earth Blues and A Love Supreme
Reaching across the universe
In Love
for all the right reasons.
Not why… why not?
Waves of cosmic echoes,
follow trails within our minds
in a deep soul penetrating
Wail resounding thru
our collective consciousness
Supposedly, when
it had been conclusively proven
Impossible to do so
the coding system was cracked
And we were set free
like chicken and dumplings
At the local greasy spoon
with chunky vegetables,
Savory soups
generously peppered
W/tender tasty, meaty morsels
Of succulent flesh
and juicy bones
Make you not only
want to kiss the cook
But lick the spoon
i’m not just
barking at the moon
Have you ever heard
the song of the loon?
Then, join me once again
This time …please
Try to sing
In tune
