KALEIDOS Number 3 | Page 29

Low voices coming

Out of the day,

Chirping and humming

Near and away,

Make me a part

Of what you are,

Spill out my heart,

Shake it afar!

Let my soul be

A dust thrown up

To the winds' glee,

In the sea's cup!

There lost and mixed,

There selfless made,

No longer fixed

And casting shade.

This hour must pass

Like all I know;

Yet, while it was,

Fresh was my brow,

My eyelids drooped

With final ease,

I was not cooped

In thought's disease.

So let me rest

This while and deem

That life the best

That's most like dream.

This hot hour is

Of that vague size,

For I see this

Through no clear eyes,

But in a dim

Abandonment

Live in the rim

Of my thought's bent,

And this thought now's

A blade of grass

That not even knows

Hours pass.
