When the horizon
beckons the sun
and a pink sky
holds the Ash
in silhouette;
when still waters
reflect Woodcock
upon the wing
and the Heron’s
great blue matches
colors rising,
there is a “click” —
inaudible —
a latch unlocked
by precise combination
of timed events
turned carefully
by Source.
Gentle winds
blow from southwest
and there is a “c r e a k” —
unheard —
a portal opening
(one of many) –
an invitation
to senses of
at least
the sixth order.
Who responds?
Might I cross over
to become a denizen
of all possibility –
to flit with grace and ease
among dancing orbs?
What lies there
in unfathomable dimensions
except parallel versions
of me?
Might I
experience them all
simultaneously?
And all the while,
here,
beneath a cloudless end,
would any one be
the wiser?
