Cosmic Ally

by Glenn Currier

Swans can kill the dying of the night
gliding arched anthems
past the imperfect light
of dreams.

Following their rippled path
I chase the hungry ghosts
of the past, leading them
into electric solitude.

Suddenly there is a coursing
through every fearful cell
awakening me to something grand or mindless
in the haze of my daze.

What ally can I find
or touch
in the grip of this power?

She is near
wandering a labyrinthine way
awaiting my brave
invitation to abide
in this wild cosmic moment.

Nice Glenn, sometimes we live in the moment and sometimes we live in the past..

A lot of intriguing fantasy used as an analogy in an attempt to understand those "forces" which create "cosmic moments".
