we will return


it was repeated in my dream,

"is there beauty in the horror?"

she said:
open up the windows,
open up the doors,
open up the gates,
open the dams,
flood the rivers,
let the rains pour down,

relinquish us from us


rise
up
out
of
the
water

onto the earth

notice the sun shining down,
notice your shadow on the ground,
notice the faces all around,
notice the plane in the sky,
notice the sound.

Wonderful message for all us as human beings.

I ponder this poem as my amp crackles.

Notice is served.

I'm taking notice -- in the process of a Spring scrubdown -- opening the portals of my sequestered existence, my senses, and my soul.

Thanks for showing the way, Dox.
