THE SPIRIT MOVES

A spirit moves
like the giant walls in Moki Canyon
Down to the channels end
and back out again
a spirit moves
A spirit moves
like the awesome bodies of water in Lake Powell
Observant, sometimes quiet -
sometimes loud -
Laughter gently rippling
along the water ways
The Spirit moves in on us.

WRITTEN IN TOKYO, JAPAN ON JULY 12TH

About a dozen dead Daisies
lie beneath my feet
and I feel no pain.
One cries for want of love
And I pass passively.

The gardens fade
and lose their power.
The path becomes a means to an end.
Objective: To proceed with purpose!
But laughter in the background
Dominates,
Reigns.

Sadly I see the aging process,
The draining of a youthful heart.
Shortcuts taken,
Still time wasted,
Ringing with the song of life.

The song of life is nothing
more that nothing.
And a child smiles.

ZCMI 1967
