immortal waves

Post by saw »

my disposition improves
when I think of flying over my life,
the eyes of a falcon playing
in the sky

oh yeah, that raptor imagination
allows me to see the infinite
like my homo sapien limitations
could never do

so I float above my old-man dreams
to ensure I'm not too far off course
my mind can part the clouds
my wings can lift me above all the shit-laced

humdrum executions
above the paralytic ennui
above the stagnant footsteps to the mountain
tops with boots that need breaking in

and I hit the ground, hiking
exploring my destiny from the cliffs
with the vision of an osprey diving headlong....
a missile..... into the immortal waves of time

the endgame new tricks for a crusty old dog
I read somewhere a long time ago, an artist
must re-invent himself every day, so my head
below the water washes away the cobwebs

my senses renewed in the plunge
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

Ah such a beautiful write-
Hiking - the fAlcon
Vision
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Those waves
I seen 80 year old guys
Surfing
They are highly unlikely to be grumpy
Unless there are no waves
Or it is all blown out
Getting tuned is the deal

Love hot tuna! I have always wanted to go to Amsterdam
And walk around windmills and tulips
And to be in Paris in spring
To see the lavenders
But color
Is so happening
I am in cobalt blue
And shiny gold
Headed for burnt sienna
I’m in a swamp like area but the colors are brilliant
Do not know how I ended up in the swamp at dawn
In that painting

Someone gave me the load of canvas
I’m happy
I still wake up and look at the moon
It’s a way of life I guess
I don’t want to wear clothes
Bras and shit
So I seem to be making clothes out of painters cloth
Since it’s so hot you have to dress like a monk

I read once long ago that an eagle can see a dime at 200 ft.
and that image never left me, and so as I was contemplating
this the other day I saw the infinite imagination through the eyes of a raptor
the ability that a bird's eye view sees all the possibilities
far beyond the limitations of humans....boy does my mind wander at times
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

Nice wandering there.. I like the way it sounds- like / thunder creativity-when you cannot stop- I live alone because I am trying to paint the pieces back together
Here /
Is some golden soul dust
