Words play perfectly in meaninglessness

A word please

Indeed, a few letters combine

To inspire a gathering

Or separation

Spaces underneath

Breath between

Symbols from ancient time

Gone like wires into muddy meadow

Channels to surf

With phrases scattered upon boards

Signatures like scribble

Night into light forgotten capitalized or underlined

Seeking to speak and be heard buzzing

Only to silence the echo resounding

Walls crumble, cave, erupt, elevate &

block the rays

like shades

with commas and apostrophes

reinvented, remastered and trimmed

like landscaping

these sentences tripped up

by thick tree roots

as the hiking boot nudges the trunk

and a clump of earth

falls away.

Creation. Transformation. Metamorphosis play. Onward. To float over desert expanse, on a breeze.
