December Calls

in honour of PoemADay November I wanted to post yet once more in poem-form for the first of December: PoemADay +1 (also for One Shot Wednesday at http://oneshotpoetry.blogspot.com/

A-muse-ing Delivery
attend to the pictures in your mind,
ready the canvas while you wait on the surprise
secret delivery in a round wooden box
carved TO: your name
with just one other word
The Word
to inspire
you.
a steady polishing to expose the grain
looking deeper in a small hollow gourd
of wood.
Looking deeper to see the stars inside
stars that sing in colour
songs that are echoes of a primal rhythm
wait for the chorus in your chest.
wait for the refrain
then no longer refrain!

Make the empty contents of this box
a different source than the vain
brain
explains.
Quickly!
This message expires,
kept only as long as it inspires.
The Word
unspoken
undefined
keeping time -
with the song of the heartful

and space


to tell the story.

  1. Excellent sense of experiment to the lines, as if the word meaning or other quality directs the action of the phrase, with the effect pronounced at the end—nice work, Lyndia
