Of Lives Old and New

Awareness awake!

Hold languid moments in mind's eye

Wake, bringing sweeping touches

To my fingers

As my eyes linger

While mind reads the skies

Half gazing still slumbering

I saw a bridge half old - half new

Another touch in lieu

Of surrender

Half gazing still slumbering

Rapidly moving arch of centuries

Awakening again

To light tones in the air 'bout me

To share with said tones

A gaze at a tree

See an arched limb suspended in time

Like a silhouette of grace

Within harmony

Within home

Light without taint

Is beyond the merits of paint

So I wander up to skies and sunbeams

To a new glaze of dew

Like lives old and new

Songs thought long on a

Feeling guided, a query to why

Life before seemed clear but is not known

Now or ever

A thing such as destiny

Must be clever

Because what once came naturally

Is now of unknown endeavor
