More Poetry from Dana

MAYBY A GIFT OF SIGHT.SIGHT TO THOSE BLINDED BY DESPERATION,DESOLATION,FRUSTRATION,IN A WORLD THAT CAN BE SO COLD,THE SUN STILL WARMS.KEEPS ME WARM IN A DELICATE STATE OF MIND.A STATE OF BEING,OR TRUST.TRUST THAT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WILL BE A CHOICE,AND NOT A HARSH REALITY.TRUTH BEYOND THAT WHICH IS LOST CAN NOW BE FOUND.BROUGHT INTO YOUR LIFE LIKE A RAINDROP FROM THE SKY.FOR WHILE IN EVERY LIFE,A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL,THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO THROW DOWN THE UMBRELLA,AND RUN LIKE THE WIND .RUN TO FIND FREEDOM,THE CENTER OF OUR HAPPINESS,OUR WELL BEING.THOSE WHO CHOSE OTHER PATHS,WE LEARN FROM.NOT ONLY THAT THERE IS HATE IN THE WORLD,BUT THAT THERE IS ENOUGH OF IT.WHEN LOOKING AT THE HOURGLASS OF TIME,IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT FORGIVING AND FORGETING,IS USUALLY THE BEST THING TO DO.SOME POEPLE JUST NEED TO BE HELPED.



DO YOU HEAR THE WORLD...DO YOU HEAR IT ECHOING THROUGH A SIMULCAST STATION...BROADENING YOUR EMOTIONS...FEEDING YOUR FEARS...MAKING YOU IMMUNE TO CHAOS,DISORDER,EVEN DEATH...DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO DANCE ON FIRE...HAVE YOU SUNG WITH THE FORCE OF THE FALLING MOUNTAIN SNOW...DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?AND IF YOU DO COULD YOU TELL ME WHO I AM...WHY IN THIS PLASTERED LAND OF DOUBT HAVEN'T WE FOUND...THE TRUE MEANING OF EXISTANCE,WHY HAVE WE SHUNNED THE...DOORS OPENED TO US LONG AGO.TO FLY AS FREE AS A BIRD IN THE NIGHT...A BIRD WITHOUT SIGHT...GAZING OUT INTO THE BLACKNESS OF KNOWLEDGE...TAKE ME TO THE FIELDS...THROW MY BODY ON THE FLOWING GREEN SEAS OF SATISFACTION;THE BEYOND...


AS FAR AS THE EYE COULD SEE.A FIELD OF TREES AN ENDLESS GREEN SCENE A WEATHERLESS SEAM THAT MAKES A MOON BEAM SCREAM SCREAMS DOWN TO THE EARTH AND CLASHES OF THE LEAVES OF THE TREES AND THE ROCKS OF THE EARTH. TO GIVE BIRTH.BIRTH TO NEW LIFE,INTO THE EARTH LIKE A FARMERS SCYTHE.CHOP DOWN THE CORN AND REGROW IT AGAIN.MY FRIEND I PRETEND TO BE MORE THAN I AM UNTIL FACADES END AND I DONT KNOW JUST WHEN I BEGAN TO END.I BEGAN TO END.


IN AN UNCONCIOUS MEMORY,I REMEMBER.BRING BACK WITH ME THOUGHTS AND WORDS.THOUGHTS THAT WANDERED A LONG TIME UNNOTICED.WORDS THAT WILL STING THOSE WHO ARE TARGETED LOSING ALL AND NOTHING AT ONCE WHAT IT WAS...A DREAM,A BEGINING OF WORLDS THAT BECOME BEFORE YOUR EYES BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY THERE.WHILE YOU WERE WAITING AND WATCHING THEY WERE LIVING AND BREATHING ENTRUSTING YOUTH AND AGE WITH THEIR WISDOM,BEAUTY.SHOWING ALL WHO WOULD ENTER THE OMNIPITANT GLOW OF THE WONDERS THEY'D CREATED.IN A WORD,IN A WORLD WHERE IT COULD HAPPEN.ANYTHING.LET YOUR MIND WANDER ENDLESSLY IN THE GARDEN.WHERE AND WHEN YOU ASK.IN THE GARDEN OF LIGHT,WHEN YOU ARRIVE.IF IT DAZZLES THE EYES,AND YANKS THE IMAGINATION,IT MUST APPEAR AND BE HAD.YOU CAN SHOW UP NAKED,ALONE,PAINTED IN PLAID.
