the song



in the bowed strings
of a day

the consonant braids
with the dissonant

the whole
sees its mirror
in the part

and the song
that is the passage of my soul
through this world
melds
seamlessly
with all others

in a place
defined entirely
by silence


~


"music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. "

closer

charles sprague pearce solitude


each small puff of dust at footfall
the hovering hush of late-summer grass
all the feather borne spectral threads of birdsong

are like bookmarks
holding the page

containing the revelation

small birds

andrew wyeth wind from the sea


small birds
and tiny flowers
etched like frost on the waving silk

-

pale grey birds and flowered shadows
chase
around her candlelit room

-

rutted parabolas
mark the route
of his departure
across
the pale yellow field

-

her eyes
find the dark corners
