To reach that isolation

wind rushes across a great thirst

a dry and arid desertedness

Mile after endless mile

wind tempered and purified and tempered

molecules smashed against barren rock

Atoms stripped and polished

by invisible sand

Pristine, razor sharp

slicing through space – no resistance

rushing in great abandon

Its mate, a canyon carved by eternity

walls sail heavenward

sandblasted to transparency

And there, beyond the moon’s arc

a solitary crack, an atom’s width

Lover rushes into, penetrates the beloved

their love a single piercing note

strips the spirit from flesh and bone

frees the soul; slays the heart

Those wishing to hear

come as a sacrifice

bodies left at the gate

Pure Brilliant Beauty

One Note

All Knowing

not thought

not feeling

A SONG
