this chaotic time
of outrageous insanity
abject absurdity
maybe the message is
to leave behind
eloquent words and poems
superb paintings
those splendid art things
making the world beautiful
wondrously magnificent
a magical place
where vivid dreams
come vehemently true
and precious life
like the energetic stars
shining on and on
everlasting and forever
rewarding creation
accomplishing souls
pleasing us humans
wanting to hold on
being good and kind
sharing heavenly fruit
admirable light and flowers
welcome this flourishing
nourishing the universe
distinguished and sacred organisms
wondrous and marvelous things
uplifting spirit
poetry and art and elevation
so when we search
penetrate the revelatory sun
discern revelation
establish penitent innovation
realize we are contingently one
with each new emergent morning
existence is never separate
dawning right from the start
finesse and perfection
exultant being
never far apart
