it's always always

Sky consciousness, January 2008

beyond the icebound lake
the universe blazes
behind the canvas
a crow cries
the sound of all sounds

the stars between the trees
the trees beyond the stars

in that mountain
this mountain
in these rocks
all rocks
sleeping the life of always

this drop of day is on fire
this is what you are
adrift in the endless dream
in this time
in all time
