“All is written within the mind
To help and instruct the dervish
In dance and romance and prayer”

There was a time / when a flower had power / When we believed we lived / in the age of peace
Light of day does nothing but break up the dew / Leaves remember sweet breath of the moon
Come to this secret garden / You have been here before / Tasted exquisite fruit / Bathed / Immersed your senses / in its silent moons…
I am an hourglass / without sand
I watched, fascinated, as the massive snake / made its way from the roof / down the wall in front of me. / I held a long stick in my hand, tapped / the giant head as it slithered closer.
Why would I wake up with a wildflower- / covered world, death in China, and eternity?
