AUSTIN INTERNATIONAL POETRY FESTIVAL

Eighteen years and still fresh and new as now
Board Members bring their poems and dreams to share
as each climbs the mountain of each moment
they validate and vindicate their volunteerism
to those assembled seeking good example
Each told of a different path to the waterfall
Each one stepped up to the same microphone
and divulged their deepest secrets happily
in trust of warmth and reception
Doors opened within added to those without doors
winds of fresh perceptions extended windows
where Light poured inwards,then out again
Transformation is like this-trance formations fill us
with change as organic as this apple earth
Every momentary bite (another opened mouth mike)
a pomegranate,snake and tree of wisdom too
The Bird of Paradise has lines and form and function
Wings of Angels guide us in our Evolution
Crystalline silences melt and merge into new poems
and a Festival is Eden and Nirvana regained..
Every cycle round one sun with moon wisdom
finds us smiling for another ,deeper reason
Come see the results this April 15
when Austin International Poetry Festival (apple!)spins again
