Thoughts of Gerald --- October fifth

   eyes

fixed for an instant

in distant

all too close

memory

   dark words speak

spoken

not heard

pacing

thoughts racing

through crystal measures

   another's eyes

so bluest blue ...

voice soft as

new born's breath

warms

with smile

   while

opened arms

long enfolding ... unfold

hands

once raised

in triumph's fisted reach

closed ... 

release

emptied ...

open

   only now spirit lingers

here ...and here ...

in heart's chamber

   soul

sped in fall scents

and crimson flourish

stirs ...

a moment's whisper 

breathed

then

stilled

gone ...

forever felt

   this cherished place

this sounding space

this ... depth of being

drifts 

to 

crisp light shimmer

on pond's

reflecting scape

yet

warm 

of summer's

mirrored blaze

  once

gentled hand 

tilled earth's seeds

became

too soon 

sleeping arbors

weeping

   beneath

geese float on air clouds

in seeming flight

above

sky's surface

pooling

as 

muffled trumpet

sounds

pronounce

to all ... is well

  not so ... for all

great light

in life ... energy

passed

gone ...from here ...

and here ...

in whitest white

emptying echoes 

beyond

this bluest pool's 

reflection

all of memory ... remains ... your light
