Thoughts while walking from Bushwick to Harlem. Written in Bushwick & on Queensboro Bridge |
July 26 Sometimes as the day comes to an end I look up at the sky and wonder if I noticed enough of its beauty today Did I appreciate it enough and notice the blue and the grey and the clouds that passed by changing shapes as the upper winds blew Did I notice enough as the day passed me by Did I take note of enough? Did I stop and say hi Did I see you standing there as you waved goodbye To the demons that left you the day that I died Did I notice the ground beneath my feet Did I dance enough, did I notice the beat The sounds of the earth, the birds and the wind The cry of nature as her souls speaks again Low and soft her season does cry Wishing so many would stop passing her by Notice her pain notice her beauty Notice the sun as it shimmers across the water below The still and the flow, the reflection of her glow. Did I touch the dirt with my bare hands and feet Relish the feel.of.the sand on my skin beneath my feet The glass on the shore of the riverway east Smoothed by the waves, the shards sing a song As the waves caress the shore as we linger too long But what's one more day in this life we all pave When we speak with our death maiden What will we say What do we want to remember today How much did we earn or where did we go Did anything matter in the scheme of the flow July 27 Fragmented pools The memory of trees Can't sever the connection To our spirits and dreams Our ancestors souls rise up from the ashes Can't keep pushing away from natures passions |
