Rest and Rhythm

Let your thoughts flow.
Like the poet’s tree.
(Like the painter’s brush).
Let empty space become shape.
(Stimulating rhythm).
One syllable per beat.
(One stroke per progression).
Silence disturbs not motion.
A march without breaks.
A staminous run.

Second beginning.
Thrust and drawn.
A set of short notes.
Melody clearly struck.
Makes the flowers bloom.
Even in October.
Rejoice.

An idea; a creation.
Transformed and recreated.
A destination or direction.
Still undecided.
Intangible but near.
New world; new eyes.
Discovering light.

Hello,
My kind friend.
Smiles invitingly.
The faithful strings.
Strung warmly.
Voice.
Deep and honest.
Sings again upon return.
Rest and rhythm.
Rejoice.
