Take a Moment: Art and Poetry with Rich Okun
Awakened
Here I am.
You asked me to come,
so I did.
I’ll tell you where from,
but its way off the Grid.
I come from where;
music is every note
and from
the scores of laws
that provide buoyancy
to every boat.
From where;
the wind blows,
a painter’s eye,
and writer’s mind,
to cut through any
undertone or lie,
no matter how well
performed or designed.
From where;
I see and hear
inner speech
from the heart,
and not just what you
say or preach.
I take the whole,
never just a part.
Then I unfold it to you,
with a ribbon and bow,
every fraction of you,
captured, held and released,
in holy escrow.
I come from where;
the only thing there is,
is unquenchable desire.
It is my gift of enchantment
in your passion’s fire.
And from there;
within every human soul’s
awakened imagination,
lies the mysteries of causation,
and the source of all creation.
