green
the far flung yellow
hauled its vibrant hues (spirit)
the soul of cosmic rhythm
to swim among the seas of men
the sky was azure blue they said
and so the day was green so green
and in the vessel of the body so the soul did sail
its vassal and travail
had stowed its hold and natures oceans
plashed its hands across its ill kempt deck
baptised by waters blue and green
baptised by waters blue and green and pail (pale)
hypnotic patterns from the slowly sailing clouds
defined its rationale
and entranched the modal lullaby of cumulus and surf
and to their slapping drum shhh drum
within the warriors of sleep arose so by and by
they dream they said they dream
and in the dreaming seas evaporate
and ectopic shells do fly
through the mythic ether and the wondrous birds of time
and consequence that rule subconscious worlds
whose raptored past laid down in earth now lifted
as of dust raised in a silent whirlpool
turbine grit and modest tempest round and round
and on the updraft rising
so the aeons wings do soar and soaring
propel the dreaming up and back and back
through vast collisions slow inclusions
preceeding starry nights of billions gone so gone
before the yellow sun became
and we were shapeless energy
formed in the wake and foam
as creations motion circled wave went out and out
upon the journeys of infinity
and of the flotsam in its lee
we are but some flotsam in its lee
baptised by ethers red and mauve and blue and green
and wed in far flung yellow
we sung as unity
by and by
through thin vortexing veils
accreting mass and shape and hue
the sophisticants of heritage and trial
have bought us here to this entopic now and now
though bonded placeless shapeless forms are we
beneath the waves beneath the dreaming
clouds and surf and skies
upon this day so green so green
where envy lies but not together
here in physicality
like darkened light it lies in dreams
sublime it lies in dreams
