What do we hold dear? What do we have that isn’t fleeting? Our spirit perhaps?

lyrics

the poem:

the morning has its song
which ebbs and flows
circles effortlessly
and fills the sky
orchestrating light
to begin the day

the wanton hum of traffic
bares the breathing dreams
of solemn roses
prowling cats
passing trains
boisterous bikers
clairvoyant clouds
yawning lawns
and the manifesto
of mockingbirds
lamenting the passing
of honey moon

the voice of a tween on you tube
is louder than the budding savior
proselytizing on the city square
the success of electronic resonance
allows your own version of salvation
to appear
every song that fills the day
will remark upon the day
even in your birth there is loss
even in your death there is song
the wild rose could not be killed
each spring it remembered how to climb
and mark the trail for the departing
