With a Strong Brush

With a Strong Brush


Loving kindness, egolessness,
sunbursting skies and shiny blue lakes:
wisdom within, will then become restless,
soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes

We have prepared all along for this moment,
Whispering whispers are singing a song,
notice the meter within beat and rhyme.
soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes

All that we’ve learned will lead to this truth
wisdom and knowledge belong in the dust
soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes
Part of the pattern that bridges us!

Energy feeding a recurring work,
Lovemaking, fishing, and taking a nap:
soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes
these are the strokes of my painting brush.

soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes
Flowers and finches, the mountain’s snowcap:
background to clarity, with a strong brush.
soothing tornadoes and calm hurricanes.
