Poem for Monday, June 22, 2009


Where Will the Wind Carry Us?

Where will the wind carry us
tonight?

over mountains, perhaps
soaring agile between each
crack        and         crevice
while vibrant colors
erode, explode around us

under oceans, perhaps
smoothly slicing through
pristine                   depths
while schools of fish
swim inside the fiery coral

Where will it carry us?

atop castles, perhaps
cruising agape around
limestone               gargoyles
in a Bavarian forest with
bird echoes and dungeon screams

through deserts, perhaps
tumultuous sandstorms scattering
grain       upon        grain
as the steadfast camels
trudge on to El Dorado

Where will it carry us?
Where?

over
     under
           atop
               through
                        between
                                    beneath
                                                 everything and all
