Start


The start
Is nothing at all
No worth until it's over
And that could be soon
No, not now
But soon enough
For thinkers
Above the cloudless sky
Sitting ready for some fire
Toss tinder on it
Or anything that delights
Buzzing minds
In flight, they might be
But who knows where
They want to take us
Out to their space
The space where like-minds
Meet
Intelligence validating itself
Confirming rightness
Or wrongness
But nothing that really matters
Like the next drop of water
Enters their mouth
Blood flows
With few words, lean
But the water's clean
What can I say
The day is short
Life drifts by
Without fame
Without fortune
Without meaning
But with moments of bliss
Times that never repeat
Especially on holidays
Or moments free
And usually with other people
But most of all
Just there
Totally present
To the life
Event
Of note, probably not
But so incredible
It's magic
In this life's experiences
Of which most are trivial
Unless the breath takes it in,
Lets it out
Then leaves it all behind
And that's all
