At the top of the world
thick mounds of haze
gather to ebb away at
stones leaning toward heaven
dream-drifting across the
canvas sky
There is no gap
between the exposed
and the unknown;
here, infinity meets
the soul and wraps it
in chalky hues
and together
they watch the sun
inch beyond the horizon

what you see is not what you get, and what you are is not what you think, nor what others see, but what you sense and have been you remember, and within this memory is you as you were, where inside you then is a seed which may or may not have flowered and filled you with bursting colorful life, yet it is still there, yes? peace. ,,,Moqui
