The Beginning Does Not always Start at the front-end of a story. And letters in capital cAn be used whereVer.

And Poetry is not mere writing, life, rather.

aNd ratHer boldly.

“if one tries. think harder.” are words of error.

This Beginning, just so happened to start

at the end.

The cyclic cycle of fear and confusion,

of love…of peace.

Fully enthralled Truth,

in Circle.

Another era. Another time.

Replaced.

One cannot start at the end.

Yet this story does so….

 

 Snowflakes, cold storm…. You feel like a ghost, reaching out to another ghost. Unaware. The flakes fall from the sky… the cold brutal wind has a pleasant bite. footsteps are the only sound. grey is the only color. The ghost speaks, unheard remains the voice. Invisible, unseen, unnoticed. Imagine one could touch and listen. What would be left to say? Wind whistles the backdrop. Your stomach is upside down and trying to escape through your mouth. Time slurs and wobbles under its own weight. Snowflakes melt onto your nose. You look at the sky. It feels like we are ALL  falling… ever so hastily. falling down. The distance remaining to impact is enormous, so enormous we forget. indeed WE ARE spiraling from the sky standing on a rock, grasping onto our fragile dreams, even the tiniest of them finding a place in between clenched fingers. falling. Geese fly and stare. God is the water turned to ice jagged in our eyes. Synchronicity brought us to the same place, at the same time, yet too far apart for connection. only remembrance remains. Perhaps it is all which is needed. When you see somebody you love…yet no longer know. 

“Neither towards nor from, but As. (It).”

There truly is, no separation.

La verdad que no hay seperacion.

Physically, Mentally, Spiritually. Scientifically.

Físicamente, mentalmente, espiritualmente. Científicamente. Lógicamente.

One field Awareness.

Solo una Conciencia.

The barriers dissipate. Stillness reveals our dance.

Las barreras se disipan. Lo quieto revela nuestra danza.

Our dance reveals our nature.

Nuestra danza revela nuestra naturaleza.

Change as constant vibration, in unison.

Los Cambios son vibración constante, en unísono.

Elements, building blocks, essential to the creation of all which is.

Elementos son los bloques de construcción, esenciales para la creación de todo que es.

Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Spirit.

Fuego, Aire, Tierra, Agua, Espirito.

Respect where you come from.

Respeta de donde vienes.

Remember who you are.

Recuerda quien eres.

APRIL SMILES

2013 Springtime in Colorado. April.

A Storm system arrives and does not leave for several weeks. Torrential downpours Day and Night.

The water table rises beyond capacity in the high Rockies.

Floods ensue.

Intensity increased by the minute.

Before long, vehicles, people, large animals, homes and trees were being ripped from clutch and swept into the raging madness around.

Boundless.

Among dark, eerie, gloomy periods of rest, between lightning bolt strikes, high velocity wind, baseball sized hail storms and endless, endless rain, a young woman named April smiles. Effortlessly as a dandelion breaking through concrete. Cold steel touching warm skin. Razor edge giving excuse for the neon colored bracelets around each arm, one for every tone of a rainbow.

For every dismantled chain broken free into authenticity.

April contemplates leaving behind a captive world of pain, for a world of great unknowing.

Rain, Rain/wash-a way/do as you wish.

Wounds do heal..eventually.

All the Pain All the Rain it all has a Purpose.

A flicker of a flame

Subtle wind gently caresses

A pinpoint of sensation.

A droplet, touches warm skin

Eyes shifting

Side to Side

All around

Breathe

Here you are

Now you are gone…

Here you are

Now…you are gone…

To feel the cold breeze

Shaking my knees

Softly singing song of birds

Impermanence…

Observe thyself

Impermanence…

Close your eyes, give your thanks

Drift away.

Ocean Waves.

There is a part of me

Which is never apart from me

We see each other

in our eyes

The fire within

all life.

I had the pleasure and honor to meet and befriend a familiar stranger, Nicholas Talvola.

Sitting together next to ‘Iornside Mountain’ in the Trinity Alps, we played music to the fading sky.
