utility poem no. 1

Groban was the night
Butterflies grace the quiet air
Alighting softly in smooth folds and warm crevices
Mahler's 5th, time grows endless
Glorious reflection melts into gentle slumber

Saturday dawns, the eyes of loved suns dance intermittently
The utility of a poem blooms

One knows, and all is as it should be

Today the clay will feel the pressure of loving hands
Truth will be conveyed and life will continue, immeasurably richer
A soul transcends, it works and it works well

One knows

Gratitude interfuses all.
Butterflies alight softly...caress.... hover...remain

The elegance of this utility begins to drain thirty years of pressure
A generation old wound begins healing

Gratitude interfuses all

Suns all around and yet the utility drains and drains well
Precious utility, only now is your power revealed
The elegance is totally appropriate

One knows, the past explodes, and all is as it should be
Gratitude interfuses all

Possibilities become endless
Existence is reborn
From seeds planted in a far off library
