Analysis of In the red desert of the rising sun



readjusting through normalities  
of  their routines  
the walking sleepers  
make their way  

metaphors morph  
Into urban landscapes  
From nightmares of the  
Unconscious    

serene skies  
of glittering moons within its
shifting planes  

dream like exodus  
where boundaries of self  
melt without its center

individuality fades  
into the stillness of its quiet  
memories of  their generations  
wiped away with the tide  

ravaged by their fate  
community struggles  
with the will they bare

lines of people on the shore
holding candles to a stary sky
tossing flowers to the sea

where harps sing to liquid moon
seasons breath fades away in the night  
to voices of the dead and ghosts laid to rest  

buddhas hand in whitened robes    
ceremonial rituals and rites begin  
to pass away their dead

sandals and walking sticks
in the wake of bones remained
wandering spirits
transmissions
to another world  to
the place we all return

to open skies blue as waves
through the meadows
of autumn lives
flowers lie down  
to transparency of early winds
souls set free amidst the clouds

within the shadows of kurosawa's dreams
prophecies for the living
to return to ones beginnings
and live life as its meant to be

simplicity in harmony with natures way
look within to rebuild again  
to live within thier means  
to put trust back to the land
and live in balance once again
