Through the center of our lives
Through the center of our lives
Wildflowers in bloom
Through its center of the flower
Petals reach out to sky
off the wings of pegasus
in flight
blue bird fly through the chills of night
blue bird sing in the light of our day
Sing blue bird sing
Transcend forward past arriving departures
And confines of space and time
To be at home and free at last
To that which remains itself
Rhythm and tides
To what survives
Blossoming innocence
of such wandering lives
where eastern stars shine
beyond crescent moons
and colors dance behind
shadows of northern lights
in such pristine crystallizing delight
