Sparks – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams.” Haruki Murakami

Sparks

Rambunctious, fugitive thoughts rolled in
seeking refuge and
took roost in the emptiness of my mind,
a mischief afoot,
but what can be done?
The door was open,
nothing was going on,
how could I refuse?
I can feel them fluttering about,
their eloquence so light in
expressive songs of radiance,
a dispersion of rude exactitude,
an abundance of inarticulate cool,
sparks to light my wondered wandering.

  1. I could see the ‘ wondered wondering ‘ of the mind in the light of sparks from the soul!

    Beautiful construction!

  3. I’m quite fond of wondered wandering, although the thundering hooves from time’s winged chariot tend to cut it short.
