Prototype?
Not I!
I catalyze,
I prophesy,
I speak,
I write,
I laugh,
I cry;
And try
To light another's fire,
Excite,
Suggest,
Delight,
Inquire,
Inspire a flame
With sparks of life,
To salve the pain,
To solve the strife.
To be
A being, -
Being.

Sunlight is delicious
But shadows sweeten, too.

Kaliedoscope
Blue - green - red - orange,
Shapeless colored glass,
No rhythm of its own,
A pile of nothingness.. . .
That which starts to mold it, -
Active and passive forces, -
Are movement and reflection,
Inner and outer resources.. . .
Perfect as a crystal,
A form they will reveal,
Or wispy as a flake of snow,
And changing like a reel.. . .
Components?
Still just random glass,
Now varied in expression
Like life within a human soul
Proceeds with its progression.
And of its basic stuff
Itself is always made
While movement and reflection
Determine how it's played.

A circle
Is a circle,
Small or great.
This tiny perfect circle
Proves
The universe.

Paradox
We try
To explain
Where we are
When we
Want to get there.
When we arrive
Where we're going -
We'll still be
Where we are.
The journey
Is the thing.

Recapture it -
The way you felt
When you were
Twelve,
Walking in the rain
And deeply touched.
Then explain
It all away
If you still can.
