Life and Breath (a poem)

[Julie Smith]

I
 
 
peace lily inhales
young eagle considers flight
Creation watches
 
 
wizard nods his head 
soft green tendrils rise from dust
all life tugs forward
 
 
painted moon peers down
wind quiets   ---   to a whisper
One silently waits
 
 
glass dragonfly – soars?
paradox of captured flight 
flying yet not free
 
 
flying snowman – smiles?
pasted glee is misery?
confusion rising
 
 
II
 
 
pale pink dawn arrives
snow tipped branches greeting sky
One wonders, waiting
 
 
dancing dust motes glide
wide open space, half-closed eyes
unbound life, alive!
 
 
steady heart beating
One door opens, inviting ---
ah  ---  missed mystery!
 
 
top spins round and round
swirling choices make their rounds
---  stillness beckons now  ---
 
 
steady heart beating
One door opens, inviting ---
Unbound Life, Alive!
 
 
Wide Open Spaces!
Bursting Life, Unknown Places!
All Ways Expanding!
 
 
pale pink dawn departs
snow tipped branches deeply sigh
One pleased, beaming
 
 
III
 
 
flying snowman – Smiles!
pasted glee is One with me ---
gleaming Joy growing
 
 
glass dragonfly – Soars!
iridescent wings Glowing
colored Light dancing
 
 
Wizened painted moon
cherished Patient silent friend
now content, Smiling
 
 
wizard Stretching wide
Grasping lighting bolt from sky
all Life bows, grinning
 
 
peace lily exhales
all the world considers flight
Creation watches
