ADD TO MY FAVORITES
tree and branch, their leaves, screen wire, glassy pane, slatted shade,
gauzy immaterial; they lead I follow, I guide they go after: we dance.
I am sent.
I am wind, tempered to a breeze; I arise from four corners of earth
and drive a thousand miles over seas and through a thousand trees:
bluster at giants, puff at hills, gust along until I meet my destination.
I am sent.
I am tree; I yield my trunk, my branches and my foliage to the sun,
the wind and the rain, earth and drought and copse of other trees.
Sometimes wind rules and sometimes light and sometimes me.
I am sent.
I am shadow, dark side, stepchild of elements; lacking substance or joy.
Though without me nothing is manifest, deep down I am nothing at all:
foil to light, gloom to bright, murk to sight, shady necessary character.
I am sent.
I am wall, flat nobody, mute man-made thing, comic’s straight man.
Like moon I can only mirror: I possess no light or dark to call my own.
An impartial, empty sheet of white, I wait in this room for my destiny.
I am sent.
I am beauty, opus of all, symphony in shades of light; there is no time in me,
for I am eternity, the call beyond the garden wall: gift of grace, cinematic magic.
Gaze on me and watch while I flicker, ululate, plash and play to ether’s echo.
I am encouragement.
