contemplation and desire by Jim Benzreflective minds
create
the collective mind
incarnation
of a single hero
exaltation
becoming
an only reason
tribes of myth
splendid, comprehensive
accidents of time
and place connected
they shall be
stories
names of deities
appearance, disappearance
reapearance of the sun
fasten on to him
insatiable
contemplation and desire
the hazards of sorrow
sweet affection
of a mother
any day
or any night's repose
nod below
the breeze
and stars make answer
the elements
infuse
fertility, the germing
of seeds 09/12/2005 Posted on 09/12/2005 Copyright © 2024 Jim Benz
