we’d listened to Elton’s
Caption Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
the music is natural
written in the mind
the heart
do you remember
forgive and come alive
In this moment, society’s isolation strikes
me. I am alone, like a bird
peppered from its flock in flight, now
dropped ashore to forever wander aimlessly.
At the center of life is a vacant
chamber, an …
Ah! The spring!
That thing of being new
And flowery;

Lifted on a transient wind…

We are each other’s light
Protection
Salvation
We are all things in one!
