Contemplating Eschaton

Timothy Price56 Comments

Sunrise

Prime time loosed Laudes shades
Colors fly on clouds at dawn
Sunflowers’ faces looking east
Contemplating eschaton

Drama of their world
Between what is and what will be
A risen sun, the end of summer
From Terce to Sext to Nones is eternity

Arcoíris pulls on Vespers
Eternal promise lights cut dim
Sun checks out at Compline
Martins tucks it in

Sunflowers tall bow their heads
Rooted firmly holding sand
Contemplating darkness see
The end is at hand

Sunset

Dentist Sun Rise & Shine

Timothy Price66 Comments

Dentist’s office sun rises shines
Imprisoned by shadows stripes
Thinking grinding gnashing teeth
Some impressions made
Brain numbed by Novocaine
Lips lost face sags
“Open wider” whirring drill
Splashes suction smoking still
One imagines gaping holes
Picking drilling air-blasts woe
Fitting carbon paper bite
Drilling fitting bite again
Glued fitted bite down hold
No brushing eating or floss don’t chew
For three weeks until we call
To anoint the crown give proper reign
Don’t let that temp one fall

Dark Pale Grays

Timothy Price70 Comments

Freezing rain pelts sun drenched skin
Drips off hair blurring sight
Sunshine slips through driving rain
Blue sky overhead
Dark clouds look on dancing Sprites
Swallowed bedtime colors
Sunset drew its covers sadly
Another day’s lightness snuffed
Final dark pale grays

You can bring your self out of the darkness by watching love is blindness performed by Holly and Pauly at the Solstice Soirée 6 19 21. as part of he post Home Is Where The (He)art Is. I had asked Holly how Paul was doing since they hadn’t done Music From the Hearth is a while. She was so sweet to do this post.

Deadly Dancing

Timothy Price84 Comments

Dancing days are done
Done in by social distance
Distance determined, solo spaces
Spaces empty, filled, masked faces
Faces covered vanquished smiles
Smiles once lifted miens
Miens covered informed eyes
Eyes sad, lonely, longing
Longing for closeness, movement
Movement together, shuffled feet
Feet stepping to the beat
Beat goes on determined song
Song inspires dance
Dance today is deadly
Deadly dancing
Dancing days are done

World Opposite

Timothy Price71 Comments

We talk
My world opposite yours
Your today is my tomorrow
My today is your yesterday
Through your voice I see the future
Through my voice you glimpse the past
When I see the light, you stand in darkness
When darkness engulfs me, your light shines
My summer is your winter
When you spring, I fall
Your world opposite mine
We talk
