this has happened before

and i recognize -dragons scorching,snakebite.heat (humidity/pressure
occasional kindnesses-but mostly the stress of applied weights
serious .somber.reflection times.when to stop might allow perspective
time counted.parking metered moments.occasional joys.
no defining ideology .work fills time.money declines.life is brief.
dandruff moments pre-novel writing(who reads?
like creating antique keys or clocks for a post watch world
one or two volunteer for steam train sunday.picnics
slow flags flying over Impressionist paintings.pre-3D/4G
There is a part of you that looks back.Black /white.Slow.Slower
You cannot live there.Nor i.It glows only in comparison.
Wars/Depression/poverties/illness also defined sepia tints
This gift is here.Open it!.Even if it looks like familiars
this day is unique.Bonsai.Haiku.Lotus.Lake.Take time out
Wait.Slow is not a race.Every body glows.Auras know
Energies of now enough to flow past tides of dumped dross
Even if there seems no rhyme nor reason.This is enough
To touch this life ,and zen release.Like fish.Like friends
Like this Holy Moment.And this next...
