Everyday 

Some ideas don't hide in the hills
existing because we are intended
to go find them, but fly the same
as wind does what it does, as seas
lift on spaces called by the moon.

It is not an effort it is somewhere
here nearby where time is patience
for its own dissolve, for what is
definable by what resides being
spontaneous inside the common.

Today at breakfast followed along
with a cup of coffee which is music.
Or a form of stillness presented in
forms of phrases and measures, set
to the length of feeling attention.
 
So, yesterday then tomorrow as real
as tomorrow that becomes yesterday,
both folded within the cover living
through the present, only grasped
by a mutual exchange of milliseconds.

What makes for a draft of history
while I then chart my own routes
but those too, those too.... simplest
news with sunlight, quartered silence,
hover of irreconcilable fragments.

None too different than a left shoe 
not knowing the pace of its direction.
Have it be meek or might, this leads
as it does and defined in the spirit
of choice and what follows is next.

Sunset again, a drink from the earth
satiated with original natural color.
Memory of a child who felt thought
growing relation as an imagination
of grass, dewdrops born with stars.
