let them ring!

from the front lines

this one is camping out /stuck without transport
another paints when he needs to sing on streets (painting pedestrians
another to Oklahoma to earn enough to thin string Austin
more imprisoned in prosaic jobs longing for poetic relief
listen closer.none are cynics.they carry rosebuds in their cheeks
starlit eyes smile horizons/adding their energies in soft release
so when you paint your chemical sunsets,remember green
imitation never was original(although we need mimesis)
bright blade scimitar thoughts slice through ennui
forests of feelings cleared via intent
we are earth,air,fire,water,metal ,wood
elemental,alchemical,connected,continuing-
the contract is for all living to honor and respect
Know there are creatures of harmonies gentle and watching
They do not believe disaster scripts
They build in the gap between funding and fun
They link to sentients like human radios
Your signals are beaming now! Whole worlds await and watching
What happens next unknown-perfectly preformed /spontaneous
This just in-you are as free as your poetry.Release all the wild birds
Set yourselves free!
