An Ode
What is beautiful and dangerous? Is it mysterious or sacred? Is it lethal or soothing?
I like the winter and
the summer alluring
sea caves.
The drum pounding
sounds. The waves
undulating and
pulsating with rhythm
I like the mesmerizing
and hypnotic
stratification of the
minerals and clay
with visions of
hourglasses and
entrances to the black
holes. Do not miss the
ice crystal chandeliers
and the starbursts.
Geometric
configurations to
dazzle your
consciousness
This is an ode
to the spirit honored
images of winter and
to the swirling sea,
and to the abstractions
of our minds.
