The soul is as an unseen Swan
Drifting down the black river
With only stars to stream the light across
And only light to make the river
Seem more bright, a perfect commotion
Of silk, snow, lilies, the flexibility of matter
Creation, the soul feels no bondage
With an armful of white blossoms
I’m sure the soul smiles even when
We appear to be at our worst
Down and out and suffering
As if there were no tomorrow
The soul sways and is partially hidden
It known no dark music, only stretching
Down the river like a waterfall
Discovering something for the
Inner evolution of form and whistling
The background music of everything
Quantum variables speaking new languages
The soul listens for the bulb of love
As rain pelting the tops of trees
And clouds over the river in a season
That is between seasons, for which
There are far too few names
The soul is an onlooker of the most mischievous
Parodies, smiling at the drama of last week
Piloting dreams for learning situations
Laughing at the calendar whose touch
Is bleak weather, irony of shaded routines
Patron, portion, logistic of the mother-instinct
In us all, the soul doesn’t find necessity hard at all
There is no bottom to the soul, it catches us on the other end.

Thanks Sonata, it’s surreal isn’t it?
Wuji – so beautiful this rendition of soul’s purpose and overarching compassion witnessing our ego’s darkest deeds firm in the knowledge that finally it will get home to us – indeed as u poetically put it so magnificently;
The soul is as an unseen Swan
Drifting down the black river
With only stars to stream the light across
Soul stirring, really!!
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
Thanks Russ, this fire doesn’t have time to burn poetry, but I’ll try to save some jewels for you in the ashes.
